The Hook-up

Chapter 118

"Not now." She said stretching her feet out. "My feet really hurt right now."

"Aww, my poor, poor fiancé..." he said to her. "I'll be back in like five minutes. Then you'll forget all about those feet of yours." He said throwing his shirt toward her. She caught it leaning in to smell it to get an idea of where he had been. It was okay. He was probably telling the truth. He went to that little studio he told me about. She finished up the e-mails she was working on stumbling to stand up to look out the window at the beach. She reached for her pregnant bikini glancing in the long mirror throwing her hair in a bun.

"Bruno! I'm going to go to the beach!" she yelled at him writing a note putting it near the bed.

"You're what?" he asked walking out of the bathroom rubbing a towel on his head without another covering him up.

"The window...." She looked over to the window.

"Don't care." He shrugged. "Where are you going?"

"Outside to the beach." She said picking up her kindle, her phone and the key card.

"I want to come withhhh...." He whined reaching for his trunks and t-shirt.

"Okay. Come onnnn...." She answered his whining opening the door.

"It smells so good." He said taking the humid air reaching for her uncovered waist walking slowly with her to two lounge chairs. "Sit down, boo." He said to her looking at her in her sunglasses. "Are you going to get your tummy tan for when we have the babies?" he laughed at her.

"Yes. I want to make sure I look extra hot and tan when I give birth to these monsters." She said to him.

"Monsters?" he asked her.

"Yeah. They make me sick, the make me fat, they make me tired, they're monsters and they aren't even two yet..." Lauren told Bruno watching him start to crack up.

"Oh my god. Lauren. You are so funny." He said rubbing her stomach. "Your mom is really funny." He said kissing her stomach quickly before anyone else could see them.

"Well lookie here...." They heard one of Bruno's friends from high school, Trey, walk up behind them with his girlfriend, Nicole, also from his high school.

"Oh...Lauren..." Bruno said looking up at them. "This is Trey and Nicole. They're pretty mch the coolest people on the island." He laughed giving his friend a fist bumo and Nicole a hug.

"It's nice to meet you." Lauren smiled struggling to sit up.

"Oh, Lauren. You look like you're ready to have a baby. Why are you on the beach?" Nicole asked.

"I have two more months to perfect my tan before these monsters come out." She told the girl.

"Oh...he didn't tell me you were having twins." Nicole said shocked. "That's so amazing!"

"I know. It sure is." She said reaching for her Kindle to read.

"Let's go swim, Nic!" Trey exclaimed pulling his girlfriend. "And come with, Bruno." He said looking at Lauren.

"I'm staying here." She told them.

"Fine. Whatever." Bruno said with a smile leaning down to whisper in her ear.

"Stay here, sexy. I gotchu later." He said biting her ear making her squirm a bit.

She pushed his body onto the ground trying not to laugh. After he stood up she watched them walk off in the distance. She continued to read her book glancing over at her phone to see a text message pop up.

Call me-Tahiti

"What?" she asked herself dialing Bruno's sister. "What's going on?" Lauren asked.

"Have you talked to Bruno about what he did last night?" she asked Lauren.

"No...he said he went to work on a song..." she answered.

"Lauren...I don't know what or how to...Tahiti started.

"What happened?" Lauren asked.

"He left with Rory and she said they hooked up again...." Tahiti told Lauren. "I don't' like gossip but I think you have to know."

"Thank you." Lauren said flatly ending the call. She reached for the few things she brought with her standing up. "Let's go babies. Your dad is a jerk."

"Laur?" Bruno called out to her a few feet away. "Where are you going?"

"Home." She answered him in the same flat tone. "Home." She repeated.

"You're what?" he asked running up to her.

"Going back home. I can't do this anymore. I just cannot even wrap my head around everything you do to me to hurt me...." She said turning around trying to walk away from him.

"What the hell are you talking about?" he asked pulling her back toward him carefully not trying to hurt her or get angry. We won't yell at each other. Not now. He thought to himself.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. It starts with an R and ends with ory is a slut who can't keep her pants on." She yelled at him. "Oh and the story ends with you sleeping with her and me leaving you. And that's where we're at now." She said wiggling her arm out of his to go back to their room.
