Accidental Encounter

25. *Teaser*

The drive home was miserable.  So many thoughts bombarded my mind.  "You can stay with me.  It will be like back in our college days.  Fun!" Jen said trying to break the awkward silence.  "Thanks Brat.  I'm gonna pack and get shit  figured out.  Keep your phone on, I might need a ride later since none of this is mine. The house, cars, everything is his." I said getting out of the car.  "I got your back BB.  You're my sister from two completely different parents." She laughed.  "Love ya Brat.  Talk to you soon." I said wiping tears from my face. 

I walked into the house and immediately  dropped to my knees in uncontrollable sobs. Geronimo ran up and licked my arm. I hugged him tightly continuing to cry.  It felt like hours had passed but truly it had only been about 30 minutes.  I stood up and walked into our music room.  I sat at my piano and began to play.  No song in particular, just let my feelings room off my fingers onto the keys. Happiness, sadness, anger, and frustration. It made for a beautiful song.  I realized I wasn't alone when. I stopped playing and the song continued.  I looked up and Bruno was sitting at his piano playing a song that tied into mine like to lovers dancing together.  I didn't say a word.  I got up and went I to the bedroom to pack.

Bruno followed me in. "Babe stop, what are you doing?" He asked. "What does it look like?  I'm Making room for Rita.  After all she is your new boo." I sarcastically snared.  "She ain't shit.  She's in my next video. That's it!" He yelled back.  "Really? Is that why YOU TASTE AS GOOD AS YOU LOOK? Did she suck your dick? Did you fuck her? Come on man up spill the beans." I yelled throwing my clothes in a bag.  "What? What gives you that idea?" He questioned.  I walked over to my dresser and threw the folded note at him.  "So where did you meet her? You k ow what...I don't even care.  I'm done."  I said fighting back tears.  I grabbed my bag, cellphone and threw Bruno his house key.  "I loved you more than anything I'm the world.  Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." I said through gritted teeth.  I walked out and started walking down the street.  I figured I'd call Jen when I got down the hill.  Halfway down Bruno pulled up next to me, "get in the car! It's fucking midnight, you don't need to be walking the streets alone.  Get in!"   "No! I'm not. I'm fine. You haven't cared for the last week.  Go one go home or to her house or something." I replied no looking in his direction. "Laura get in the car.  Don't make a scene." He yelled back.  "A scene? Why, you afraid it will ruin you career.  You afraid the paps will see who you were fucking and living with?  I'm obviously not good enough for you to be seen with since it's always a 'don't let the paps see you, you don't need that attention' bullshit. Truth is I'm too basic for you.  I'm not super model, Hollywood artist, pretty enough to be seen with you in public." I cried. "No you're not.  You don't deserve that negative atttention. It's hard being in the public eye and you are better than that" "save the bullshit lines for someone else" I cut him off. He pulled his car in front of me and jumped out standing right in front of me.  We stared each other square in the eyes and he firmly gripped my chin pulling me in for a passionate kiss.

"I'M BRUNO MARS AND THIS IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.  I LOVE HER!!!!" he yelled out looking around as it echoed off the walls of all the mansions in the area.  "There you happy?" He questioned.  "I don't need you to yell shit at the top of your lungs.  You fucked Jessica and I forgave you yet you managed to screw another one. " I said rolling my eyes.  "I...DIDNT...FUCK....HER. I took her out for drinks to get a feel for her acting and interview her. That's it!" He replied almost in tears.  I didn't know whether to believe him and get in the car or keep walking and walk away for good.  "Please just get in the car.  We'll  talk about it at home.  Please." He begged. 

"Ugh fine but just know that at any given moment if I feel you are lying I will get up and I will leave....for good." I said getting into his car.
