Love Don't Change (Book 2)

Chapter 8

Mani's P.O.V

I slowly start to open my eyes, adnjunting them to the day light. I wake up with some headache, it was a bad idea to drink last night after all. I hate hangovers. My eyes feels heavy as well. But my heart it's full of happiness and love.

I lean further back towards her, snuggling all my body into her front. Her arm is still firmly around my waist, as if she feared that I would disappear into the night.

Last night was incredible. I'm wordless. We made love all night, I enjoyed her all night.

It wasn't enough just one time for me, far from it. I needed more, I needed all of her, and for hours. I needed her kisses for hours. Words can't even get close to how I missed her these past few months. I was slowly dying without her, If it weren't for Bella maybe I would be dead indeed.

But unfortunately for me in some way, I live just for them. My life is just Lauren and Bella. They both complete me. So Lauren's absence was something hard to carry on, I was half breathing, half living.

I know the big mistake she made. It is maybe the crudest form of cheating. Besides, it wasn't just any girl, it was Lucy. The only person that makes me question everything in me. The only person that I knew could steal Lauren away from me.

Lauren knew very well how I feel about them, I never accepted their friendship completely because I'm not dumb, I knew Lucy was having second thoughts. But Lauren didn't hear me. And I still don't know very well what really happened that night. Not even Lauren can explain herself with clarity.

But honestly, I don't want to keep questioning what went down that frightful day, I don't have strength left for that. The harm is already done.

No one knows the deep pain I went through, all the tears poured out everynight. Lauren really made me feel miserable, unwilling to live. And I hated her for that, all my heart was contaminated with pain. Some anger is still there actually. A lot of anger.

But love is bigger.

That's why I let her make love to me. I let myself forget and love, at least for the hours that I was hers again.

I know things changed between us, but maybe I needed that change. Maybe I needed to forget and live again.

I don't know what to think just yet. I just know that being with her like this, makes me happy.

And just like everyone says, follow your happiness, right?

Her arm moves over my waist bringing me closer. And I smile like a fool in love.

I lifted up her hand, kissing her fingers and getting lost in her warm embrace and protection, in all her love.

Lauren really is my entire universe.

I was about to turn around to kiss her when I heard the doorbell.

Must be my mom.

I looked at the clock and in fact, it's already 9:30 am. My baby is back.

I slowly and silently got up, not wanting to wake the beauty in my bed, quickly putting a bathrobe to cover my nakedness and walking to the door.
