Laurent

Larry POV

"What about my parents?"

* KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK *

I look over, Laurent is at the patio door.

What the hell.

Flynn turns.

"Is that your brother?"

Yeah, I don't know why he here.

She pull away from me and open the door.

"Hi, you must be Laurent."

"I am. Damn, you're gorgeous."

Flynn blush, and back up so he can walk in.

I wait ... I don't know how he play this.

"I'm not sure about all that, but thank you."

"I mean really, better than your picture."

Fuck.

"You've seen me in a pic?"

"Yes, my brother sent me ... It's really good to finally meet you."

"You too."

She look at me and smile

Laurent sit on the loveseat.

Rude.

He still wet from pool.

"So, you're the reason my brother can't call me back. What you do to him?"

Lau, stop. I call you back. Why you over here?

"I just wanted to meet her. Why don't we all go out tonight ... Dinner?"

"Sure, that would be nice."

"Larry, why you look so nervous? He's always afraid I'll embarrass him. I'm the wild one."

"Oh, you are?"

"Yes. Larry don't be ..."

I not nervous Laurent.

"Yeah you are. Anyway I'm going, I just walked over to say Hi."

"It's OK, I'm glad you came over. You know you don't have to leave, want anything? Water, beer?"

Why she got to be so nice ...

"Actually yes! I had a Kalik earlier, really good. Do you have?"

"You're in luck, Bobbet just restocked all the drinks. Larry you want one Baby?"

Um, no thanks.

"Baby? Aww you two cute."

Stop it Laurent.

"What did I do? You are cute."

"I'll meet you out by the pool. We don't need to hang out in my bedroom."

"Not a problem for me Fine. We can stay right here ..."

She look at me and mouth 'it's OK'

"I'll see you guys outside."
