The Good Life

Chapter 70

runo felt Marla get out of the bed early in the morning. He pretended to be asleep silently watching her take off her clothes to get in the shower. ”I know you’re watching me, Bruno.” she told him going into the bathroom grabbing a towel to wrap around her.

”I need to take a shower too.” he whined hearing the water go on. ”Marlaaaaa….” he called out going into the bathroom.

”No, Bruno. I’m already running late.” she yelled over the water.

”I’ll be fast…I promise….” he told her reaching over to open the door. She had her eyes closed covered with shampoo when she felt his body rub against hers. ”Geez…the water is really hot, Mar…” he said pulling away.

”It’s that way for a reason…” she said turning around pointing to the shower door. ”I know you don’t like it hot.”

”Oh…so we’re gonna play it like that today?” he winked at her pushing her against the under the hot water. Shit. I hate it when he does this..she thought to herself feeling her body warming against the hot water. He kissed her neck licking up the beads of water that fell on her.

”I hate you so much, Bruno…” she whispered to him as she started to leave small kisses along his neck leading to his chest. He grabbed her by the hips holding onto her tightly kissing her lightly on the lips driving her crazy. ”Oh god…I really hate you….oh my, shit….” she felt his hands slide down to her thighs running up and down her legs finding the right spot for each of them.

”Marla….oh my….baby….you drive me crazy….” he told her as her hands moved to his wet hair.

”Oh god…Brunooooo….” she moaned hitting her head against the wall.

”Be careful, Mar…” he smiled against her lips continuing to move his hips in the same motions that drove her even crazier.

”Bunnnooooo. Noooooohmygod.” she felt her legs fall as his head fell on her shoulder. He touched her lips just enough to feel her lips making her smile.

”Marla..my favorite part is when you smile when we’re done.” he told her rubbing her back full of soap.

”Get out of my shower, Bruno Mars.” she said sarcastically.

”Okay..fine…” he said in a sad tone grabbing a towel to dry off with watching her finish wiping the soap off her body. ”Damn, baby..hurry up.” he said watching her dance around in the shower grabbing face wash to put on her face. She went extra slow rubbing her hands all over her body driving him even crazier. She turn edoff the water taking a hold of the towel he handed her. ”No…don’t even think about getting dressed yet…” he said as she looked down at him.

”Bruno….” her pleads were interrupted by his kiss and his arms around her back as he placed her on the bathroom counter.

”If you think I’m going to be on tour for a month without getting laid I gotta at least get laid as much as I can while I’m at home, Marla.” he told her as she arched her back leaning her head against the mirror.

”Oh shit. Brunnnoooohmygod.” she moaned feeling him kiss her shoulders running his fingers along her cheeks.

”Marla…how do you do this to me every fucking time?” he asked pulling away from her.

”When you got it, you got it…” she said flipping her wet hair wrapping herself in the bright red towel that laid on the floor.

Bruno laughed at her putting his clothes on going into the kitchen. He heard his daughter start walking out into the kitchen with her frog. She looked extra confused.

”What’s wrong, Rosie?” he asked her.

”You’re not supposed to be here.” she told him looking like she was about to cry.

”Baby doll, what do you mean?” he asked sitting her down on the couch holding her in his lap.

”Mommy said that you were going on the bus again…and that I wouldn’t see you for….29 days….if you leave now it means I get to see you sonner.” she told him. What she said made his heart break into millions of small pieces.

”But, Rosalia…we get to go to the zoo and the park today with Liam and Mila…” he told her.

”But I….I don’t want to do anything today, daddy.” she told him walking to the pile of blankets near the tv. ”I just want to lay in my snuggie and watch tv.”

”If you want to be lazy, Rosalia…we can be lazy…” he told her.

”Okay…but not with mama…she can’t be lazy. Just me and you. Not uncle Eric or Liam or Mila…no one.”

”Oh…so it’s invitation only cuddle time?” he asked her squeezing her.

”Yes.” she said laying her head on her father.

Marla,

Today I laid on the couch with Rosalia. We watched Finding Nemo three times. But you know what? It was perfect because I don’t think I’ve spent that much time alone with her since before her 3rd birthday. She is so smart, Marla. She read me a book. She missed three words. I didn’t have to help her at all. She’s smart like her mother. And she’s beautiful like her mother. And she’s talented like her mother. But, I think she got her snazzy singing voice from me. But that’s a given. Marla, you’ll find this after I leave for the second part of the tour. I love you.

Bruno
