So, Here I Am

Chapter Nine Laurent and Maggie

Before the four of them left Auntie B's, Maggie gave Julia a list of videos to watch on Youtube when they had left.    Of the twins.    

Maggie "Take note of the number of views on some of them, Julia. These guys are the best in the world at what they do".   Julia looked puzzled.

"Just watch the videos !"

They all said their goodbyes, with an open invitation if they were ever in the area, to drop in for Sunday dinner again.   The ride back to London was quiet.   Everyone was just full from dinner, from a wonderful day, from all the love.   Within half an hour, Maggie got a call from Julia, she ignored it once, but when she called back immediately, she answered it.   She knew what it was going to be about.   She told the guys she was going to put it on speaker, and they had to be quiet.

Julia "Who the hell are these people, Maggie ?! Sixty million views ?  They're amazing !  And they were here, in our garden !!  And, damn they smelt good !  And Laurent, my god, talk about sex on a stick !"   The guys were killing themselves laughing, though Larry was pouting that he wasn't described as sex on a stick, too.  They were trying not to make a noise to give themselves away. There was more.

"Tell me, Maggs, is he any good in bed, I bet he can ..."

"I don't know, Juju, I'm gonna find out tonight, I'll let you know, O.K. ?"

Maggie was laughing hard now too, her parting shot being

"Say bye guys"

"Bye Julia !!" they all chimed in.

Julia hung up.

Laurent "You'll find out tonight will you?" he quizzed her, smiling, thrilled at the fact that she might.   "Just freaking her out a little, is all" she said.

Soraya and Larry sat together, her head on Larry's shoulder, falling asleep.  Same with Laurent and Maggie, she was falling asleep on his shoulder, their fingers laced together, comfortable and oh, so happy.  Laurent couldn't remember the last time he was this happy.   He smiled virtually the whole way back.

Back at the apartment, Soraya was getting ready to go home, but Larry persuaded her to stay, he would drive her home as early as she needed to in the morning.  They all had a quiet evening in, watching movies, eating popcorn, and generally chilling.   Everyone had just had the most amazing day, and they were all tired, country air will do that to you.  Eventually, the girls excused themselves, said goodnight, exchanged sweet tender kisses with the guys, and went to their own respective rooms.

Laurent caught Larry in the kitchen

"What do I do, Larry ?"

"Go take care of yo' woman !" he was chuckling to himself, but his face was deadpan in a second when he saw that Laurent didn't find it funny.

"What if she doesn't want me ? What if she's not ready ?"

"Highly unlikely, bro.  You heard her, she wasn't joking when she said she wanted to find out about your "luurrving" her tonight"  He's still trying to joke, but this time it made Laurent smile.

"So you gonna take care of yo' woman ?" Laurent asked Larry.

"No, she's got to get up early, and I'm tired, so ...goodnight bro."  Fake stretch and a yawn from Larry.

"Goodnight, remember we have an early start too, so get a good night's sleep, ok ?"

Larry padded down the hallway to his room, opened and closed the door loud enough so Laurent would think he was in his room, then walked across the hall to Soraya's room, and closed the door as quietly as he could once he was inside.
