Industry Pt. 2

A/N: Get ready to hate me guys. Larry Ladies, you might want to have some Kleenex on standby. Sorry. :( 

AUTHOR'S POV 

Laurent is in the backseat of the uber and on his way home from the party. Because his head is slightly foggy from the three drinks he had after his encounter with Alana Rose he's slouched down in the seat with his head resting on the seat cushion as he gazes out of the window...still in disbelief at what occurred. Every time his mind has any recollection of it he has to shake his head to immediately get rid of the image. The closer the car reaches home the more his stomach turns as he can't imagine what will happen when he tells Larry. He thinks to himself, "Maybe I don't need to tell him. Maybe it's best he doesn't know". Oh how he wrestles with that...but he ultimately realizes he won't be able to keep it a secret. Finally, the car pulls up in front of their home so he tips the driver then steps out and walks to the front door. After successfully unlocking it he closes his eyes and exhales before walking in. He disarms the security system, places his keys on the coffee table and walks to the bedroom. As expected, Larry is sound asleep with his back facing Laurent's side. Still clothed Laurent quietly slips off his shoes and climbs into bed. Even though he tries to be light as a feather Larry still feels him so he slowly opens his eyes and looks at the clock. It's almost 3 am. Before he can respond he feels Laurent scoot closer to him. Normally Laurent would kiss his shoulder but he simply can't right now so instead... 

Laurent: "Larry? I'm home", he whispers. 

Larry scoots away from him as if he can't be touched so right away Laurent can tell he's angry...

Laurent: "What is it bebe"?

Larry: "I can smell her perfume on you Laurent".

All Laurent can do is clear his throat and instantly Larry knows something is off. He's aware that per contract Laurent and Alana have to be "close" when they're together...but for Laurent to not say anything at all is suspicious. Larry flips the covers off of him and reaches over to turn the lamp on before climbing out of bed. When he turns to look at him Laurent's eyes are already somewhere else...

Larry: "You have something to tell me Laurent"?

Laurent exhales then slowly moves to the edge of the bed as he stares at the floor. With that look Larry's chest starts to heave in nervousness as he's unsure of what he's about to hear...

Larry: "What happened"?

Laurent looks up at Larry only for his eyes to drop again as he simply can't look him in the eye. This process repeats several times before...

Larry: "What did you do Laurent"?

Laurent: *deep sigh* "Larry, bebe I...."

Larry: "What did you do Laurent"?! *pause* "You fuck her"?

Still looking at the floor Laurent exhales again before replying softly...

Laurent: "I didn't fuck her bebe".  

Larry: "But you did something. What"? 

*brief pause*

Laurent: "We...we kissed and...."

Larry's eyes widen in shock as the word "kiss" is already enough but to hear an "and" simply floors him and he can feel his stomach in knots... 

Larry: "And what"?

*brief pause* 

Laurent: "I let her". *pause* "I...I let her give me...."
