No Church in the Wild [Les Twins Fanfic]

SEVEN.

She lays her head down, closing her eyes and sighing. Planning was hard and so was math. She had to convert kilos to pounds, make prices for certain amounts, everything. She had to remember dates, plan when a person would have a certain sell and who wouldn't, when that seller's due date to sell their product was, she had to remember if one of her men had an off day and who didn't, who sold what, who requested certain selling days, when to pick up her product, and she had to fit in Cain into all of it.

Cain had been living for too long. She lets out another sigh and the door opens. "Melie?" She hears and looks up, smiling at Larry.

"Hey." She says, stretching a bit and trying not to yawn. "Where's Lau?" Larry's bright look turns sour, then blank, the light in his eyes dimming.

"He with Andre." Larry says, looking to the side and she rolls her eyes.

"Did you guys finish your jobs?"

"I did. Lau said he gon wait till tomorrow."

"You guys split up your sells?"

"Andre tell him to." Larry says, and Amelie shakes her head. "Andre tear him away from me." Larry mutters and Amelie gets up, taking him into her arms.

"He can't. You two are twins and have a special bond. Laurent will always be with you. There's no way Andre will take Lau away from you." She says, giving him a small smile.

"It feel like that." He says, bending his head and resting it on top of hers. "I slowly lose my brother, but I can no do anything about it."

"You won't lose him."

The door opens and Andre walks in first, Laurent walking behind him.

"Wooah. I did not know you two were like that." Andre chuckles.

"They not." Laurent says, playfully shoulder bumping Andre to get past them and to his brother and Amelie. "Hey Larry." He says and Larry fakes a smile. "Hey Melie."

"Hey bro."

"Lau." She says, looking him up and down. She pulls away and Laurent frowns at her.

"What wrong?" He asks, wrapping his arm around her.

"Stress." Larry says, pulling Amelie away from Laurent. "I take her home. You and Andre have fun."

"Why don't you come with us, Larry?" Andre asks. "I mean, I'm so tired of breaking Les Twins up and-"

"Who tell you that?" Laurent asks, looking at him. Andre looks around, at the surprised look on everyone's face and the slight hope filled look in Amelie's eyes.

"What?" Andre asks, confused.

"That nickname." Amelie says, her voice quiet.

"This one kid. I don't know." Andre answers. "Why?"

"It a coincidence." Larry says, shaking his head. "Anyone can make a name. Is not a big deal." Larry walks over to the door, his head slightly lowered. "He not coming back."

Amelie nods, the hope draining from her eyes. She take a deep breath, moving over to Larry, who had opened the door and the two walk out.

"Damn. They are some party poopers."

-

"He not here right now. He out doing his sells." Larry says, straightening up the living room.

"And Amelie?" Andre asks, causing Larry to look at him.

"Why?"

"I'm just trying to get to know you. I mean, I know Laurent, but not Larry. That's weird to me."
