The Hook-up

Chapter 178

Lauren woke up in the middle of the night laying in their big bed completely unaware of the fact that Bruno had moved her and cleaned up everything. She didn't feel him next to her unsure where he had gone. She leaned her head toward the door trying to see if she could hear Bruno or the babies. She heard the dog's collar jingle in the distance indicating that Bruno was with the babies. She got up, putting her hair up making her way to the bedroom. She glanced in the room to see Bruno sitting in the rocking chair with his finger in Ezra's mouth with his eyes closed humming to his son. "Do you need help?" she asked softly.

"He's out, Elle." he answered opening his eyes. "I was just too lazy to get up." he smiled standing up placing Ezra in the crib. "Let's go to bed..." he said taking the baby monitor in one hand and her's in the other. "Come onnnn..." Bruno whined softly to the dog that was laying outside the door protecting the babies. The further they got away from the babies the louder Bruno's sleepy voice got. "Elle, we're having a thing on Saturday. I need you to be there."

"Two weeks in a row?" she whispered getting into bed with him.

"Yeah, two weeks in a row, baby." he said through the blankets. "Please?" he asked again.

"My mom is not going to baby-sit them again." Lauren said half awake.

"We'll figure it out." he said yawning.

That Saturday evening Lauren walked out of the bedroom wearing a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt to see Bruno throwing things in bags for his sister to take care of the twins. "You look hot like that. You should just keep that on..."

"Not gonna happen..." she smirked picking Everlee up to kiss her. "I am going to miss your little chubby face tonight..." she continued to talk to her making her daughter laugh and start to laugh at her. "And your laugh...." she returned her daughter's laugh hearing Ezra start to giggle at the same time. "And youuuuu...." Lauren smiled picking him up with her free hand falling on the couch holding both of them talking to both of them holding onto them closely. Bruno stood off to the side of the tree of three of them trying to picture what his wife was going to look like later that night. He thought of her that past Tuesday and the night before when they made love. Damn. She's so cute. He thought to himself feeling his mind wander in inappropriate places for the time. He cleared his throat walking away. "What?" she turned and asked him.

"I need to take a really, really, really cold shower." he said to her turning around.

"That? Are you serious? How old are you? Like 12? Oh my god!" she exclaimed laughing hysterically looking at the babies. "Well, guys. Your mom's still got it." she told them as she heard his phone ring on the table. "Oh! Aunt Kiki is here!" she told her kids holding them as she went to get the phone to open the gate.

A few minutes later Jamie walked through the door behind her sons. "We're going swimminnnggg!" Jaimo exclaimed running to the back of the house.

"Oh, no you're not!" Bruno yelled catching his nephew as he ran toward the back door. Jaimo starting screaming with laughter as Bruno drug him toward the front of the house.

"That was a short shower..." Lauren smiled at him.

"It's not the only thing I do fast." he subtly flirted with her running his fingers through his hair as his nephew went back to sit on the couch.

"I think everything is in the bags. I put some Orajel in the bag and extra teethers. They're going to be out by like 8:30 and have been sleeping through the night, except if their teeth start getting them..." Lauren went on about what exactly her sister-in-law needed to do for her niece and nephew making all the boys in the house walk away.

Jamie left the house a few minutes later leaving the house inconspicuously quiet. She reached for the remote to turn on the music that would play throughout the house.

"Brunnnooo!" she sang wandering to the bedroom seeing him laying on the bed texting someone.

"What?" he asked looking up at her.

"We have some time before we need to go...." she said raising her eyebrow lifting off her shirt revealing a white bra.

"Oh really?" he asked matching her expression.

"Yeah." she danced around to the music that was playing.

"You even put it on the sex playlist." he laughed at her as she pulled off her sweatpants along with her panties. "Damn, boo. Get it...." he said laying back watching her dance around the room trying to decide exactly where to kiss him. "Just over here, mama..." he said making her laugh as he pulled her on top of him playfully. She laughed through his kisses as he pulled at her hair with one hand and ran his fingers through her hair with another. She moved to his arms taking off the sleeveless shirt her had on kissing his chest as she moved down to get his shorts.

"You did not take a shower...." she said sitting up biting her lip.

"No, I didn't..." he moved her body around so he was on top.

"But what did I do to drive you that crazy?" she asked still confused.

"You were just you, baby..." he said running is fingers along her hair moving inside her so slowly that she cringed. "What?" he asked.

"It's still weird sometimes...." she explained to him.

"What makes it better?" he asked still laying on top of her trying to make it better for the both of them.

"Like on Saturday...." she told him.

"But I was drunk then..." he said kissing her lightly.

"No...you did this...." she said moving over to the side moving him in the right place. After moving his body the right way he moved faster than he was before making her let out a loud sigh.

"All I had to do was that to get that response?" he asked continuing to move exactly the right way to please her. He leaned in to kiss her saying between their kisses, "All you had to do is tell me..." he said a bit disappointed that she wasn't being open with her.

"Just that..." she repeated. "Ohmygod...." she let out through her small moans. "Please, do it that way...please...." she let out closing her eyes clenching her legs around him to make him go deeper. They moved together rhythmically, the way that had become so perfect for the two of them, the way that worked, the way that was comfortable and normal, that was free of any troubles, any anger, any judgments. They were connected to each other the way they liked to be. He touched her one way and she touched him another, in a way that made everything just right. "Oh god, Bruno....stop singing the song...that's so weird...." she told him hearing him hum. He kissed her forehead singing even more as he hit a high note right as he climaxed. "Oh my god...." she laughed kissing him deeply as he stopped singing. "You're all I think of, all day..." he said to her rolling over onto the side of the bed laying his hand on her chest.

She kissed his hand reaching it to play with his ring. "So, I think I need to get dressed for tonight..." she said flirtatiously. "But I have to take a shower first...." she got up still naked turning around to look at him. "And since you didn't actually shower like you said you would..." she turned around facing him.

"Was that a challenge?" he asked her sitting up scanning her body from head to toe.

"You're just going to have to follow me to find out..." she walking slowly to the bathroom. She heard Bruno's feet behind her suddenly feeling his warm body against her.

"I accept that challenge." he said moving his hand down to her knee to tickle her.

"Stop, stop, stopppp." she laughed at him as he held onto her to turn on the shower water.

"For some reason I think we're probably going to be late for my own party...." he said into her ear kissing her neck licking the water off her shoulder.
