The Hook-up

Chapter 53

She fell into his arms feeling the sweet smell of ocean, lingering cigarettes and his mother's house on Bruno. "Are you giving up?" he asked her feeling her in his arms.

"I just might be." She told him flirtatiously.

"Damn, that's a shame. I like this game." Bruno said pulling away from her a little bit.

"Bru...where are we going? We've walked pretty far..." she asked looking back toward the light of the street in the distance.

"We're almost there..." he said to her pointing to a hill with a house on top.

"I am not hiking up that monster hill..." she moaned.

"Okay, fine. Get on..." he said to her bending down to get her on his back.

"If I'm too heavy put me down..." she said making a noise of effort jumping on his back.

"Ready, Miss Holt?" he asked.

"Ready, Mr. Hernandez." She joked holding onto him as he trudged through the sand.

"God Lauren, you weigh like 800 pounds." He said as he made his way up the steps to a mystery location.

"Hey! And I can't call you chubby?" she asked jumping off his back as they reached a pair of giant stairs. "Where are we going?"

He pulled out a key waving it at her. "I just want to show you the house before I tell everyone I bought my mom a new house..." he said leading her to the stairs in the house. "Ladies first...." He pointed.

"It's so beautiful..." she said holding onto the railing suddenly feeling Bruno move his body against hers grabbing her, turning her around to kiss her deeply. She returned the kiss not quite sure exactly what they were doing feeling him excited against her. "Bruno! Geez!" she gasped. "You are fucking crazy..." she said to him wrapping her legs around him as he started to kiss her neck. She moved his head up to kiss him keeping her eyes open a little to see him smile at her. She shook her head at him laughing a little while he continued to kiss her. "Are we really going to have sex in a an empty house that your mother is going to live in?"

"It's not her house yet..." he told her picking her up from the steps carrying her up to a fully decorated bedroom.

"Wow..." she responded to the bright full moon illuminating the full window of the bedroom. He wrapped his arms around her waist hugging her from behind laying his head on her shoulder.

"When you wake up the sun is like right there....it's so perfect. I want my house to be like that..." he told her.

"You'll find one..." she told him leaning into his chest yawning. "Bruno...I think I'm jetlagged."

"I know you are, baby." He said with a laugh. She wiggled out of his arms turning to face him closing her eyes laying her head on his shoulder.

"I don't think I can do it...I'm too tired. I feel like it's 5 in the morning and we stayed up all night." She responded.

"I'll let it slide this time, Lauren." She said kissing her head. "Let's go to bed..."

"Here?" she asked him confused.

"Here..." he said stretching out on the bed. "It's all for you and me tonight. Tomorrow it's theirs..."

"I have no clothes..." she said. "And..."

"Yeah you do..." he said opening a large closet full of clothes. She looked at him surprised.

"What is this?" she asked.

"They're yours..." he said to her. "It's all from Alice and Olivia and DVF...and dolce too...because they love me..." he said pulling out a t-shirt.

"How much did that shirt cost?" she asked him taking a hold of it.

"I don't know. They just gave it to me..." he said watching her look at the tag.

"This has to be at least $200 and you want me to sleep in it. I even have boundaries." She responded

"You can sleep in that or you can sleep naked. Choose wisely." He winked at her walking out of the room toward the bathroom.
