AUTHOR'S POV       

Stephanie: "What the hell"?! 

Larry: "Stephanie"!            

All three of them stand in silence for what feels like an eternity before Larry extends his hand back and gently pushes Laurent so he can fall out of him. He then grabs a pillow from the couch to cover up his own manhood. He looks at Stephanie's face and it's clear that she's livid. He feels so bad because Laurent isn't supposed to be there to begin with and on top of that she caught them having wild, crazy sex. He drops his head for a second before looking at Laurent who's looking at Stephanie with a smirk on his face...  

Larry: "Laurent please", he whispers.

Larry looks back at Stephanie whose eyes are now directed somewhere else so he follows them. She's looking at her broken lamp on the floor so Larry re-directs his attention back to her... 

Larry: "I'm sorry. I'll pay for it". 

Stephanie still hasn't said anything at this point. Her gaze is darting between the two of them and she seems to be getting more upset by the second...  

Larry: "Stephanie, please say something".

Stephanie: *clears throat* "Ok". *pause* "Laurent, you need to leave. Now".

Laurent just stands there glaring at her so Larry takes his free hand and lightly touches Laurent's shoulder then looks into his eyes and whispers to him... 

Larry: "Laurent please just go, oki"?   

Laurent takes his gaze off Stephanie long enough to look at Larry. He takes his hand and brings it up to Larry's cheek to gently massage it while giving him a soft smile...but that quickly fades when he releases and goes back to looking at Stephanie as he walks over to his clothes allowing his still clearly visible erection to swing freely with no care to cover himself. Meanwhile Larry goes back to staring at the floor feeling as guilty and shameful as ever. Laurent dresses himself then walks back over to Larry, takes his index finger to lift his head up and leans in to kiss him while returning his eyes to Stephanie...taunting her. Ever since that day she came over and had her talk with Larry he's developed a strong dislike for her and isn't afraid to show it...just like she isn't afraid to show hers for him...

Laurent: "You coming with me bebe"?

Larry: "No I need to talk to Stephanie and I...."

Laurent: "It's oki. I'll be waiting for you my love".

He kisses his lips once more before turning to leave but stops in front of Stephanie and now speaking low enough so Larry can't hear...

Laurent: "My bebe was going to cum for the third time before you showed up".

She just scans him up and down using only her eyes...but Laurent doesn't stop there...  

Laurent: "I'll leave now". *pause* "But before I go".

He reaches in his pocket, pulls out a wad of cash and starts to flip through it eventually pulling out a chunk of it and holding it up...  

Laurent: "For the lamp".

She instantly feels her blood boiling but she remains calm yet replies in the same serious tone...

Stephanie: "I don't want your damn money. Just get the hell out of my house". 

Laurent chuckles as the evil smirk returns and as he drops the money on the floor. Using only her eyes again she watches it fall then looks back up at him... 

Laurent: "I'll leave it anyway". 

Stephanie squints her eyes in anger to which Laurent just keeps the same smirk then turns to Larry, puckers his lips and blows him a kiss. He walks towards the front door and Stephanie watches until he's no longer in view then she turns to Larry who took the opportunity to get dressed in the middle of their confrontation... 

Larry: "I'm so sorry Stephanie. I didn't plan to let him come in but we just have things to say to each other then one thing lead to another and...."

She raises her hand as if to tell him he doesn't need to go any further. Larry complies but she pauses before saying anything...

Stephanie: "Larry I understand getting caught up so believe it or not, I'm actually not upset at that".

Larry looks at her extremely confused...

Stephanie: "I know you, remember? And I can take one look in your eyes and see that you're actually considering going back to him. Well that and the fact that you two were just going at it like jack rabbits".

Larry: "Stephanie, it's like I said before I'm...."

Stephanie: "I know Larry. You're in love with him and I know feelings like that aren't easy to get over but this love is blinding you". 

Larry: "I don't understand".

Stephanie: "Ok. Well let me break it down for you. Your inability to see things clearly so you can realize that love isn't supposed to hurt Larry! This is the person who threw you out of your own house just days ago! You go back and what will be next, huh"?

Hearing the truth in Stephanie's words stirs a heavy emotion within Larry so he slowly drops his head in sadness. She quickly takes notice and blows out a sigh of frustration as well as regret because she realizes she hurt his feelings...

Stephanie: "Larry, I'm sorry".

Larry: "Don't apologize. You just say how you feel".

Stephanie: "Saying how I feel is one thing but I didn't mean for it to come out like I was blaming you or trying to make you feel bad. I care for you and it hurts me to see you so hurt". *pause* "I just want to see your eyes filled with the joy you use to have. Now all they're filled with is pain".

Larry lifts his head back up so he can smile at her to which she returns one...

Larry: Thank you for that Stephanie".  

Stephanie: "That's what friends are for". *pause* "Sweetie at the end of the day it's your life, your choice...but I meant what I said. My guest room is yours for as long as you need it so please just take your time and really think about it, ok"? 

Larry: "Oki I will. And I really am sorry".

Stephanie: *smile* "Thank you".

~evening~

Larry still feels extremely bad about what happened so to make it up to Stephanie he decides to cook dinner for her and go all out. A large garden salad, lobster bisque from scratch and for the main course...filet mignon and marinated shrimp, a grilled vegetable medley and roasted garlic mashed potatoes". *author drools all over laptop* "And of course Stephanie appreciates the sweet gesture....

Stephanie: "Aww thank you Larry but you really didn't have to do all this sweetie. You know I can never stay mad at you". 

Larry: "It's oki. I want to. I know you forgive me but I also wanted to thank you. You let me stay here and you're such a good friend". 

Stephanie: *smile* "You're welcome. I'm just being the friend to you that you are to me". *wink*

Larry: *smile* "Let's eat". 

*****

Dinner is now over and Stephanie insists on washing the dishes but Larry wants to take care of that too so he tells her to just go to her room and relax. Little does she know Larry wants to wash dishes because it's something that will allow him to think about what happened. Part of him is beating himself up for giving in so quickly to Laurent thus leading to their rendezvous. As amazing as it was Larry still has to take into consideration not only what happened a few nights ago but the past few months. Every other day Larry was being abused and he didn't understand why. He's convinced that sometimes they were 'just because' beatings and he doesn't want to go back to that or any of it. Then he hears Laurent's words from earlier and when Larry looked in his eyes in that moment he knew he was sincere which was the main reason he let his guard down no matter how tough he tried to be. But more than that, Laurent has always been the love of his life...and deep down he knows he always would be. Shaking himself out of his trance, he finishes the dishes and heads for his room. Of course he has to pass through the living room to get there and as he looks at the wall he has a flash back of Laurent having him flat against it with his arms stretched while Laurent's thrusts were relentless. He remembers how amazing it felt which only leads to memories of their past lovemaking moments before all hell broke loose. Shaking his head once again to get the flashbacks out of his head he just goes to the bedroom even more confused than before...  

*****

Larry took a nice, hot shower and he's now comfortable in bed slowly drifting off to sleep when his phone rings. He grunts but decides to see who it is anyway. Laurent. He's sure of the reason he's calling but he still isn't quite ready to talk to him. Then he realizes if he doesn't answer Laurent will make another impromptu appearance leaving the opportunity for a repeat of today, which Larry would exercise more control over...but he still doesn't want the possibility... 

Larry: "Hey".

Laurent: "Hey bebe".

Laurent's voice is so soft and sweet that it literally melts Larry's heart...but he doesn't want him to know that... 

Larry: "Is something wrong"?

Laurent: "Yeah. I'm missing you. You were supposed to come home to me bebe. What happened"?

Larry: "Laurent, I don't think that's a good idea and I...."

Larry pauses and Laurent sensing his hesitation softly asks...

Laurent: "You what bebe"?  

Larry: "Laurent, please don't call me that. It just confuses me".

Laurent: "But you are my bebe. I love you and I know you love me".

*silence*

Laurent: "You still love me right"? 

Larry: "Laurent you know I love you but I just think we need time apart and...."

Laurent: "Bebe no. Please don't make me live without you". 

Larry: "Laurent please listen to me. I'm not happy and it's been so long since I've been happy. All I feel around you is fear and pain and...." *starts to cry* "I can't go back to that".

Laurent: "Please don't cry bebe. Please". *pause* "Bebe I know sorry is not enough but until you come home and let me prove it sorry is all I have".

Larry: *sniff* "And pain is all I have Laurent. Pain that you caused".

Laurent: "I know and I hate myself for that but I will change bebe. Please believe me when I say that".

Larry: *sniff* "I want to but right now I don't know if I can". *pause* "I just need time to think".

Laurent: *soft sigh* "I understand...but can I try to make you smile before I let you go"?

Larry's face scrunches in confusion as his tears begin to settle while wiping them away...    

Larry: "How will you do that"? 

Laurent: "Remember us first Valentine's date"?   

Larry: *smile* "Yeah I remember. You waited until the minute to make reservations because you didn't think the restaurants would be as busy as I said they would so we had to do something else".

Laurent: *smile* "So where did we go"?

Larry: "To the arcade. I laughed when you lost all your money with the basketball game. You keep losing but you keep going". 

Laurent: "Then what did I do"?

Larry: "You saw the kids room empty and when you realized no one was looking you went inside to get in that box with the different color balls and play around. *laugh* "You look so goofy with your long legs in that little box". 

Laurent: "And you were looking around to see if the staff was going to catch me. You tried to act all serious and told me to get out but I still see you laugh".  

Larry: *laugh* "It was funny"!

Larry's laughter dies down after a few moments. Then...  

Laurent: "See my love. That's just one of the great times we have together. I want you back so we can have more. It's not about my laundry or cooking for me. It's about us bebe". 

Laurent spends the next thirty minutes reminiscing with Larry about their goofy moments...well more like Laurent's goofy moments and it's warming Laurent's heart to hear him laugh so much. After a while he hears Larry yawn... 

Larry: "Well I better get some sleep".

Laurent: "Oki but Larry"?

Larry: "Yes"? 

Laurent: "You didn't get a chance for cum the last time".

Larry: "Where are you going with this"?

Laurent: "Take your pants off", he requests seductively.

Larry: "Laurent, I really have to go to sleep".

In a seductive whisper Laurent pleads... 

Laurent: "Please bebe. Take your pants off". 

Larry feels chills come over him thinking about earlier so he licks his lips then bites the lower one... 

Larry: "Hold on".

He places the phone down beside him and flips the cover off to quickly remove his pants then picks his phone up... 

Larry: "Oki".

He's already stroking himself before Laurent even gets started...

Laurent: "Close your eyes and picture being against the wall with me inside of you. Both of us moaning. Your eyes closed and your mouth open so I give you my tongue". *pause* "You picture it bebe"?

Larry: "Yeah. I picture it".

Laurent: "Mmm. You feel so damn good. Now picture us on the couch. You bouncing on my dick hard and fast. You told me you couldn't take it but you did". *pause* "How did it feel bebe? How did it feel to take it"?

Larry: "Amazing", he whispers. 

Laurent: "Remember how you scream my name the first time you cum?

Larry: *breathing heavily* "Yes".

Laurent: "My tongue on your thighs as I lick you clean? You taste so good". *pause* "Now picture yourself on that table. You screaming as I go fast and deep. Mmm. I wish I was inside of you now". *pause* "You feel it bebe"?

Larry: "I...I feel it", he whispers.

Laurent: "You almost there"?

Larry: "Yes", he whispers again.   

Laurent: "Perfect. Now I'm bending you over the couch and sweating on your back as your body moves with mine. Then you told me you're going to cum again. You didn't get the chance then so cum now bebe".

Larry: "Ahhhh. Ahhhh".

Laurent: "Cum bebe...and say my name when you do".

Seconds later Larry cries out, "Laurent" in a strained whisper. Laurent whispers back, "yes bebe". Larry's entire body trembles as the warm liquid oozes out of his tip and drips over his hand. He takes a few minutes to catch his breath until it eventually subsides... 

Laurent: "I always want to make you feel good bebe. I know making love is not the only way to do that and I don't want you to think that's how I feel. I just want to make you feel good. That's why I want you...no...that's why I need you to come home". *pause* "You don't have to say anything now. I just want you to know that".

Larry: "Oki. But if you don't mind, I have to clean up then get some sleep".

Laurent: "Oki". *pause* "Larry"?  

Larry: "Yeah"? 

Laurent: "Will you go on a date with me"?
