Do you feel my love?

Chapter 3. I will dedicate my love to you

Laurent was asked many times what made him get together so quickly and build not only romantic relationships but also a family. They got married after 28 days of dating. When Larry sang on stage... no when he stepped on stage and hesitantly took the microphone in his hands. A soft white light fell on his face and Laurent stopped breathing. Larry's look struck Laurent hard and deep, like a blow to the chest. Laurent had promiscuous sex lifelong enough, shuffling lovers like a deck of cards. Twice he tried to maintain a serious relationship, but everything ended, and I didn't even have time to start. And the first 18 hours of meeting Larry, I thought it would be the same. Laurent was afraid that after one night, all the magic would dissipate. But that did not happen. He wrote him a song, and then another. And after the first night, he could not let him go anywhere.

A week has passed since the release of the mini-album. This conversation took place late in the evening. They lay on a fluffy carpet near a huge panoramic window, well-fed and peaceful after intense lovemaking. Laurent, without thinking about anything, looked at the skyscrapers glowing with various lights, sorting through Larry's hair. Larry just lay on Laurent's chest and listened to his heart beating loudly.

— Do not leave me. - Laurent said softly.

— M? - Larry looked blankly at Laurent.

— Just don't leave me. You too quickly took a place in my life and my heart. Now, I don't know what it's like to live even one day without you.

— You are so stupid. How can I leave such a magnificent man? M? One of your lovers will immediately take you in. — Larry tried to turn an unexpectedly serious conversation into a joke. But at the last words, his voice trembled. This is what Larry worried about the most. Like any Casanova, Laurent had a separate phone filled with various names of people who were ready at any moment to brighten up lonely evenings. This phone, which all these days did not stop vibrating in the third drawer of the kitchen table, did not give Larry any confidence in their future with Laurent. Larry was afraid of being redundant at any moment and being replaced by any other of that damned phones. During these days, somehow, he had come to love Laurent so much that any thought of separation made his heart stop.

— I don't think I can ever let you go. I'm scared to think about the day you decide to move on and leave me. — Laurent brought Larry's fingers to his lips, gently kissing the palm of his hand, right there, under the wildly beating pulse.

— Then marry me. — Larry himself did not understand where this idea came from. All he knew was that those were the right words.

— Ok. We'll wait another week, you'll shoot your first video, sign a record deal, and we'll get married in Vegas at the end of this month. — Laurent didn't think for a second. He did not need to think that he was losing promiscuous lovers and his freedom. His thoughts were about Larry, that this wonderful man would stay with him until the last day. Laurent was asked many times if he regretted such a quick marriage, but the only thing Laurent regretted was that he waited 11 days and 15 hours before he and Larry got married.

Their lives were filled with new moments. The first of which was the evening Larry drove Laurent to the abandoned parking lot. It happened the first evening after returning from the honeymoon. Laurent sincerely did not understand why they ended up in an abandoned parking lot outside the city late at night, did he manage to somehow be guilty during these few hours of flight? But everything turned out to be much easier. Larry took Laurent's mobile phone out of his pocket, the same one that kept all the phones of whores, strippers, easily accessible people, and former lovers. Laurent watched in amazement as Larry placed his phone on the pavement and pulled a hammer from his backpack. Larry's next steps will forever remain in Laurent's head. Larry slowly raised his hand over his head and with great force brought the blunt side of the hammer down on the phone, shattering the screen to smithereens. And then again, and again, and so on until not a single whole part is left of the phone. Larry reduced Laurent's past to crumbs. Larry smiled broadly, standing over the crushed phone, embarrassed to sting the hammer in his hands. He wanted this, to get rid of Laurent's past forever. But he's not completely sure that Laurent won't get angry. Laurent, watching the embarrassed Larry, who a minute ago mercilessly beat with a hammer on the phone, only laughed out loud.
