Chasing Heaven

Let Me Take Care Of You.

I woke up the next morning and he was still lying beside me. So last night was not just a figment of my imagination. I watched him as he slept. The sunlight peaking in the window swept across his face. He looked so angelic. I stared a little longer before trying to creep out of the bed.
"Mmmmm where you going?" A groggy voice asked.
"I was gonna take a shower."
"Come here."
I climbed back into bed. He wrapped his arms around me.
"So Belle what do you wanna do today?"
" I have to go see my mom today but other than that I have nothing planned."
He yawned.
"But first things first we both need to brush our teeth. I keep extra tooth brushes in the linen closet."
He stood up in all his naked glory. I blushed as his engorged member stood at a tension.
"He happy to see you."
I laughed.
"I'm sore at the moment he's going to have to give me a break."
"No worry Belle we have a lot of time for that."
I turned on the water in the shower and waited until steam filled the bathroom. I stepped in the shower letting the water run over my body. Laurent joined me seconds later. As we stood under the water he held me in his strong arms. I layed my head on his chest letting my mind roam free. I don't remember a time in my life when I felt this much serinity. We stayed in the shower until the water begin to get cold then quickly washing our bodies. He wrapped a towel around him and followed me into the kitchen as I searched for breakfast.
"Well until I make it to the grocery store I have cereal and milk."
"I love cereal."
I poured him a bowl of cereal. I started my daily routine of cleaning. I threw our passion filled sheets in the wash machine.
I finished cleaning within the hour. Afterwards I got dressed. Laurent had called Larry asking him to bring him some clothes. So we sat and waited for him to arrive. Once he arrived Laurent stepped to the back and quickly got dressed.
" Okay mon amour where to first?"
"Let's go visit my mother first. Then to the grocery store, tonight I'm going to cook for you."
"Okay"
We jumped into his car and headed to rehabilitation center. It has been 4 months since my mother checked herself in. She was doing wonderful.
We walked through the door hand in hand. This would be the first time my mother would see us as a couple.
"Heaveeeen" my mother screamed as she embraced me.
"Mommy." I said wrapping my arms around her tightly.
I was so proud of her. She looked amazing.
Laurent and my mother hugged.
"So I see you two finally made it official."
Laurent shook his head proudly.
"Good you two belong together."
"Do you need anything Momma."
"Just you and Laurent presence at the family dinner next Sunday."
"Of course I'll be there." I said smiling.
We talked for another hour before visiting time was over.
"I'm so proud of you Momma."
"Thank you my little angel.
Once we left the rehab center we headed to the grocery store.
" Okay so what you in the mood to eat tonight?"
"You!"
"LAURENT!"
" Okay, okay how about Italian?"
"I make a hell of a lasagna."
"Sounds good Bébé."
We picked up the ingredients for dinner as well as some other groceries. I pulled out my debit card and attempted to pay. Laurent slapped my hand away.
"You my girl now I take care of you."
"But-"
"I got it Belle."
It was no use in pressing the issue so I let him have his way. I've always paid my own way so to have someone help me was different.
We arrived back at my apartment at about 4 PM. I had enough time to take a nap. After putting the groceries away Laurent and I laid on the couch he watched his soccer game as I layed in his lap. He ran his fingers through my hair as I dozed off. I slept longer than I intended to. I was pulled out of my sleep by the smell of lasagna and garlic bread. I looked in the kitchen to see Larry pulling the food from the oven. He placed the food on the counter and washed his hands.
"Okay mon frère you owe me one." He said as he was heading out the door.
"Merci my brother."
I closed my eyes and pretended to still be asleep. All the effort he put in trying to make me believe he could cook was adorable.
