Fifty Shades of Larry (On Hold)

THIRTY-TWO

"Go to the airport and pick Lena."

Laurent slipped on his trousers while Larry lay nonchalantly naked on the soft white sofa, making a call to whom Laurent had presumed was Felix.

"I told Nora what to do. Just bring her over and wait until I return... No, I'll come home with one of my cars in the garage here... Felix, what the hell? I can get home on my own, " Larry said sternly causing Laurent to turn to him. He was growing irritated and it was evident in his voice and with the scowl on his chiseled beautiful face. "Just do your job, Felix."

Larry ended the call with a harsh exhale, tossing the cell phone on the coffee table on the side of the chair. He shut his eyes and breathed slowly in an attempt to control his anger.

Laurent walked over to him and took a sit on the sofa. He placed a hand on Larry's thigh, causing a small smile to break on Larry's face.

"That place is sensitive, you know, " He said warningly.

Laurent chuckled lowly. He knew. "Is everything okay?"

Opening his eyes, Larry nodded. "It's just Felix, thinking he can tell me what to do."

"Of course he knows he non have the power for doing that. Maybe whatever he tell you, he tell you because he cares for you."

Larry rolled his eyes. "Felix always tries to act so smartly. He keeps forgetting I'm the boss around here. That I'm the only one around to be smart around me."

Laurent doubted that Felix was trying to act smart with Larry. He knew Larry was a man who had so much pride and ego who hated to be proved wrong.

He frowned. "Maybe it's time I teach him—"

"Shhh." Laurent placed his finger on Larry's soft lips hushing him. He inched closer to Larry. He knew Larry was about to proclaim something that might leave Felix's job hanging by a loose thread. And Laurent liked Felix. The man cared so much for Larry and that was enough reason for him to remain Larry's trusted butler.

"Look at me." Larry did so. He eyes burned into Laurent's piercingly. "You are beautiful."

Larry's lips curved up under Laurent's finger. Larry wanted to tell Laurent he was very cheesy.

"So beautiful. And smart. No one is smarter than you. Not Felix. No one."

His eyes darted between Laurent's two eyes, searching, seeking but never finding. Laurent made him feel important, maybe just too important. Larry wondered if he really deserved the attention and love he got from Laurent. Maybe not.

After what seemed like centuries of gazing into one another's eyes, Larry took Laurent's finger in his hand.

"You're so cheesy," Larry mumbled. He leaned up and captured Laurent's lips in his own, kissing it desperately like they hadn't both just spent the last hour kissing and making love.

After a heated make-out session, Laurent had to go back to his desk making taking calls and fixing an appointment for those who needed to see Larry.

The day rolled by fast and soon it was dark. Working hours ended and slowly, the office cleared out.

Laurent packed his gadgets in his backpack and readied to go home. His co-workers bobbed their heads through the door and bade him goodbye as he was stood behind his desk.

Before leaving, Laurent stood back and observed the scenario, enjoying the ambiance of the almost empty company building. In the large reception area, LARWARES hung boldly and successfully on the wall in white fluorescent lights.
