Amoureux du Vampire

Elle est de Retour

She's Back

Laurent POV

"Laurent you're not eating, don't you like the fish?"

Yes, yes it really good. Delicious. I just not have big appetite tonight.

"Oh, I'll pack it up for you."

She smile and keep talking about work. I hear my girlfriend, but I not really listen. My mind somewhere else ... on someone else.

Aria call me last week and let it slip she coming home. Today.

I not expect to feel like this. When I come back to Georgia last May she not even on my mind. Even when my brother come ... feeling like her, smelling like her. It no real problem. Not really.

I over her.

But now I sense her it different.

She too close.

"Laurent you aren't listening. It's fine, I know my work stories are boring."

I not think that love. You know I like to hear about your day. I just tired I think, I got started early today and I had a late meeting.

"You relax then, I'll clean up."

Merci Bébé.

"Hey, when is Larry coming back?"

I lie.

I not know.

I start to walk into the living room. Nicole still talking.

"I had lunch with Aria last week. She said today or maybe tomorrow, anyway it's sometime soon. She said they're coming back around the same time she is ..."

What?

"Larry and Aria ... know she's already here, she texted me. Hey, do you want to get together with him and his girlfriend this weekend?"

Wait, what you saying?

"Larry's girlfriend ... she's moving back. Aren't all of you friends? Don't ..."

No.

"Oh, I thought ..."

I said no.

I leave her and go to shower.

Aria ... She only meet her last month, and now they such good friends they lunch and talk about Larry?

What game she playing?

Fucking Aria.

When I get out the shower Nicole sitting on the floor ... in position.

"Bébé, get up. I know you not really like this."

You seem stressed Sir. I just want to make you feel good.

"HaHaHa no, please get up. This not you."

I pull her up and kiss her head.

She trying.

"Laurent, I'll do what you want. I just don't like to be hit too hard, everything else is OK."

This you say prove ... you not made for it. That OK.

"So I guess you gonna call that Trois girl."

No. And don't be jealous. I never touch her.

"I'm sorry."

For what? I like you because you are you. I told you before don't change who you are for anyone, not even me.

"You're so great!"
