The Redemption(A Laurent LT Tale)Prequel

Chapter 14:Set Fire to the Rain

**NC-17**

The rain leveled up to Andrea’s emotions as she walked the wet streets of Paris; surprisingly so it was still hot but she didn’t even bother to put her coat on when she left that house.

Andrea was shocked she kept her composure up long enough to even say the words she said without breaking down but she needed to be strong. She was tired of feeling weak and vulnerable because of these 2 men who as of right now both wanted her for the same thing. Laurent’s words pierced her soul but she knew she could do nothing but accept defeat and do what was best for her heart…start over.

She didn’t care if she had to live the rest of her life this animal, she wasn’t going to live life going back and forth between brothers’ twins at that! Though it may seem like every girls dream it was not Andreas’.

Andrea stalked the streets letting rain pour down on her; hell if she was lucky maybe it’ll dry her out and kill her even. Maybe that’s what’s best for me…

A car horn sounded off in the near distance but she didn’t stop to turn around. Little did she know the car was now following her up the street. It honked and honked until she finally stopped for whoever it was; she smelled his scent and didn’t need to wonder anymore.

Laurent got out of the car and walked up to Andrea not touching her or even was asking her to turn around. Her back faced him as the moment of silence took over them.

“Why?” Andréa’s voice was so soft but she knew he heard her. Laurent walked up to her closer, close enough so that he towered over her.

“Say it…” he gently touched her arms grabbing them softly. Andréa breathed deeply holding it in for a moment then released her air heavily.

“Why won’t you let me go? You could love anyone else other than me…why did you even choose me?” her voice shook as her tears came again and there was nothing she could do to stop them. The floodgate reopened and the wound was fresh now.

Laurent finally closed the space between them and trapped Andrea’s body in his arms, smashing her against his chest; again she didn’t fight back. She just let sorrow take her over and just cried a river. Laurent knew she was saying all of this because of him and his brother’s sibling bullshit. All of their fighting was taking a toll on her, a normal human being whose life they completely turned upside down and for what? To watch her walk away from it all? Not happening.

“Love has no labels Drea. Werewolf or not I’m still human; God always has an answer to everything. That’s why the world is so mixed up, opposites attract. You’d think after everything that’s happened yeah I should just walk away but I’m not, I didn't…and I won’t”

Andrea hadn’t realized she was hugging and hanging onto Laurent’s arms sobbing softly now. Laurent kissed the top of her forehead, “I keep telling you Drea”,

Her head leaned against his shoulder; she looked up at him who was looking down at her, “you’re mine. And I’m tired of sharing you”

Andrea stared intensely at him, this man was bending over backwards just to so much as be with her. When his lips gently brushed her temple then he leaned down to kiss her lips she took a deep breath and let whatever happen…happen.

***

Laurent didn’t bother driving all the way back to the house seeing as how neither of them wanted to anyway. They didn’t want to be surrounded by no one else; they just wanted to be alone. Alone. Something they haven’t been in what felt like forever.

The nice hotel room they were staying in for the night was just right for only them. The only light coming from their bedroom while everything else in the other room was off. They haven’t done anything yet, both waiting for the other to make a move but Andrea knew Laurent would go first.
