Wonder

Chapter 26

I sat in front of the piano, caressing it softly with my fingers. It was 5:00 am and I couldn't rest anymore. Good thing Lauren is a heavy sleeper when it comes to music, if not I would be screwed.

Little Cleo was sitting on my lap, demanding my attention. I was currently playing with the titles of the piano messing around. "What do you think about this one?" I ask her, improvising around. She barks cutely, and I take that as a yes. I pet her fur, kissing her head softly.

"Okay, let's go again. Shall we?" I mumble, starting to play the same rhythm again. Feeling inspired, I added the first lyrics I have been writing around this past week.

I began to play the intro, closing my eyes to concentrate better.

'I wonder if I'm being real' I sang softly. 'Do I speak my truth or do I filter how I feel?' I couldn't help but smile, thinking about the woman who was sleeping upstairs.

'I wonder, wouldn't be nice. To live inside a world that isn't black and white?' I continue singing, a sad smile on my lips thinking about my past.

'I wonder what's like to be my friends. Hope that they don't think I will forget about them' I sing, thinking about James and my closers friends. Lately I haven't been in so much contact with them, needed to disconnect for a while.

'I wonder, I wonder' I continue singing accompanying the melody of the piano. 'Right before I close my eyes, the only thing that's on my mind' I open my eyes, hearing someone approaching the room. I continue playing, my eyes meeting green eyes 'Been dreamin' that you feel it too' My raspy voice sings smoothly, Lauren smiled at me.

'I wonder what it's like to be loved by you' I sing maintaining eye contact with the older woman. I smirk slightly, 'Yeah, I wonder what it's like, I wonder what it's like to be loved by you' Lauren blushed profusely, walking towards me.

I stopped playing, smiling cheekily at her. "Your voice is amazing" She confesses, Lauren kisses Cleo's head and proceeded to gaze at me.

"Where is my kiss?" I say fooling around, she glanced at my lips then my eyes. "Mmm," Lauren mumbles licking her lips. I couldn't help but gape at her lips when she did that.

Dammm this woman, and her teasing.

I stand up, bringing Lauren closer by her waist to my body. "You should have not messed with me, dear" I whisper in her ear bitting her earlobe slightly. Lauren moaned softly against my ear, making my centre throb.

I place small kisses along her neck, caressing her body with my hands. I bring my hands around her neck, pulling her lips closer to mine. "Kiss me" She whimpers, I smirk knowing that I have her around my finger. Begging for my touch.

I smash our lips, kissing her intensely. My hands went south teasing the hell out of her. Lauren moaned in my mouth because of my actions. I smiled breaking the kiss, "Good girl" I praise her.

I gave her a short kiss, spanking her ass. "Now let's have breakfast, shall we?" She gave me a flustered look, clearly seeing she was sexually flustered. I smirk, "I told you, dear. You were going to regret teasing me".

Lauren grabbed my face, pulling me into a heated kiss. I shove my tongue into her mouth savouring the moment. I bit down her lower lip, pulling out of the kiss. "Later" I hum. She nodded her head, biting her lips.

"So, what do we have up for today?" I asked walking towards the kitchen. She follows behind me, "Apart from owing you an orgasm" I add smirking.

She rolled her eyes, sitting on the kitchen counter. "Mmm, my parents invite us for dinner" Lauren announces. "Yes! I love your family" I exclaim excitedly. She smiled softly at my reaction.

"Can we bring little Cleo?" I ask with puppy eyes. Lauren nodded her head, making me smile. I engulfed her in my arms, kissing her cheek. "You are the best," I say picking Cleo up and spinning her around in my arms, singing happily random words. Cleo barked happily waggling her tail. I started dancing with Cleo on my arms. She licked my face excitedly making me laugh.

I glanced at Lauren, seeing her recording this moment between Cleo and me. I poke my tongue out, kissing Cleo's head rapidly and running away with her. Lauren laughed out loud, following me.

I lay on the couch catching some air. She lays on top of me, smiling adoringly. "I'm so lucky to have you in my life" I whisper caressing her cheek with my thumb. Lauren blushed, kissing my nose.

"Catch me, I'm falling" She mumbles. I embrace her with my arms, making sure she feels safe. She lay her head on my chest, closing her eyes. I kiss the crown of her head, closing my eyes as well.

These moments with her, are the most precious ones. Just the two of us, and little Cleo of course.
