All I've Ever Wanted (Laurette)

Chapter 32

Laurens's POV

I leaned against Lafayette, smiling and looking around. It was a sunny day so the forest was illuminated, it was beautiful... I was awestruck at how pretty it looked, small bird song a faint whisper but still loud enough to hear. I glanced up at Lafayette -my head coming to the middle of his chest- and saw his blithe smile, something I hadn't seen for a while. He looked at me, and unexpectedly kissed my head. My cheeks turned bright red, turning my head and looking away. I couldn't understand why he did that, but I wasn't going to deny that I enjoyed it. I always enjoyed it when he showed me affection. Why wouldn't I? Anyways, I tried to hide my red cheeks.

Lafayette's POV

I grinned slightly, noticing Laurens's red face.
"This horse is a bit slow for my taste.." I said, and grinned more, snapping the reins. The horse knew what it meant and sped up to a run. John squealed and turned a little, clinging to me.
"Relax John, I have you, I won't let you fall." I promised him and blushed slightly. He buried his face into my chest, his grip never loosening. I started to feel bad for scaring him and decided to slow down and stop. I let go of the reins and lifted John's chin with my index finger and thumb, making him look at me.
"Are you ok, mon amo-mon amie?" I asked, catching myself before I called him mon amour... He didn't seem to catch my small stutter and he nodded.
"Y-yeah, I'm ok.." he said in a shaky whisper. He looked up at me with the most endearing and demure look plastered on his face. My cheeks lit up bright red, feeling like Cupid shot my heart with his love arrow. I bit my lip slightly and looked away.
"Lafayette, what's wrong...?" He asked, sounding worried. Just then, I don't know why, but I couldn't control myself. I turned back to him and pulled him close, delicately placing a kiss upon his lips.

Laurens's POV

I went completely tensed, I was surprised I guess you could say, in shock. I had never expected Lafayette to feel the same towards me, let alone kiss me! He was so gentle towards me, trying to make things go slow. His lips where soft and passionate. After a few seconds to compose myself, I hesitantly kissed him back. I felt my heart flare with mixed emotions like love and fear, fear for anyone finding out because no one would approve of this endeavor. Some would call it scandalous, promiscuous, but most importantly they'd call it sin. I didn't let it consume me though, I pulled away. I was a few inches away from his lips and we both laughed softly, our foreheads touching. He intertwined his fingers with mine and whispered,
"Would you be mine, mon amour...?" I was surprised yet again.
"Y-Yes!!" I responded, excitedly and cheerfully. I hugged him tightly and my whole world felt complete.

Lee's POV

I stared in shock and disgust, but also in anger. I watched Lafayette's lips make contact with John's. I was appalled, and even a little jealous. But I grinned, a devilish idea forming in my mind.
"Watch your back John. Watch. Your. Back." I muttered, laughing darkly before turning and returning to the camp. This was just the dirt I needed on Laurens for the next time he tried to call me out. I grinned, my fist clenching as I imagined crushing John.
"Now I can get rid of that little pest."
