Obsession Pt.22 Retour à la réalité

Paradise POV

Well, it's time to let Laurent back in ... they are ready.

Morning Sisters. You all there?

The Protectors respond in unison ... 

'She is released.'

*KT*

'So now what?'

We wait. 

J*****e POV

I feel warm and bright ... on my face.

The sunlight is coming through the porthole and shining directly on me. Ugg, I'm still tired, but it's too bright.  I won't be able to go back to sleep. I attempt to get up, but an arm has me pinned. 

Larry, Larry wake up. Move ... the sun ...

I jostled him some more, he rolls over. I notice he has some scratches on his side as I crawl over and get off the bed.

"What time?"

I look at the clock ..

Early, 6:22. 

"Why you awake? It too early .. back to me, retourne au lit (get back in bed)."

I know, the sun woke me up. I usually wake up about this time anyway. I can't  sleep.

"Oui, OK mm...."

His voice trailed, he was back asleep,  probably won't even remember this exchange.

I brushed my teeth. I look a little tired. I showered, put on my yoga pants and t-shirt and took Larry's clothes out of our overnight bag for him.

 I hung his shirt in the closet, and put his folded sweatpants and underwear on the shelf.  Our clothes from last night were thrown all over. I gathered, folded them and put them in the bag.

He is still sleeping, he's on his back, taking up the whole bed. He's naked, looking delicious. The coverlet is not doing much good, it's only covering his right leg. I can't help it, I climb over and kiss his slightly parted lips. He stirs a little bit.  I don't want to take my eyes off of his handsome face, but the boat has no provisions, I need some breakfast supplies. I grabbed the car keys ,my purse and phone, and head out.

As I'm sending a text to let Larry know where I'm going, my phone rings. This early? 

It's M. I let it go to voicemail. Two minutes later she sends a text. 

'Hey J. Let's have breakfast. What's been going on with you? Lmk.'

I feel a pull, it's not Larry ..... it's ... 

LAURENT

Well, its time. I knew this moment would come. 

M/FireK POV

Laurent had nightmares, visions  or something all night. He would not tell me what they were about,  but they really upset him. 

He finally settled about 4AM. I'll let him sleep. I need to find out what J. remembers before Lau starts digging. He is unstable right now.  I'm guessing he's back on island so he can see her ...  if he messes with her head while she's trapped.... it would be bad.
