The Switch Up

The board room is tasteful in a corporate way. The walls are covered in ivory wallpaper and motivational photography with silver frames hang from them. In the center of the room there's a large mahogany table aligned with professional chairs. Executives of the very successful and well known accounting firm take almost every chair. The men in sharp suits...some with their jackets draped on the back of the chairs as to be more comfortable. The women are adorned in business attire as well complete with fashionable heels that clicked the marble floors as they went from one meeting to another. They've all been listening intently with their Macbooks open to use when necessary while actively participating in the final meeting of the day led by the proprietor of the firm, Laurent Bourgeois, whose freshly new twists are pulled back and secured in a bun at the nape of his neck. He, too, is sporting a sharp men's suit and like many others removed the jacket exposing the navy blue button down shirt that clings to his toned framed perfectly with the top button loosened. For an hour that smooth voice heavily accentuated by his beautiful french accent has been presenting a PowerPoint presentation and reviewing reports that are essentially a snapshot of where the company currently stands. When his presentation concludes he takes his seat at the head of the table and opens the floor to any questions or concerns. A few of them have questions that he thoroughly answers then he wraps the meeting up by thanking them for their hard work and stating that he will see them tomorrow. The Macbooks get shut down then they're carefully placed in briefcases while others gather their paperwork then say goodbye to one another and kindly telling them to get home safely. Laurent is also on his feet again as he gathers his things. He's the last to leave and directly across from the room are the elevators where one of his associates is waiting for it too. The doors open and upon stepping on there's a short but friendly conversation between them. They reach the ground floor and Laurent motions his hand for her to step off first like the gentlemen he is. They say their goodbyes for now as they pass the front desk where the beautiful gold plated sign of Bourgeois and Associates is right above the receptionist who flashes him a friendly smile as she says, "goodnight Mr. Bourgeois" who smiles then replies, "goodnight Robin". Laurent loves what he does and he's beyond proud that he was fortunate to begin this company and generating revenue so quickly thus making a name for himself. But, there are days where the constant work takes a toll on him so by quitting time all he wants to do is get home for some relaxation. The sight for sore eyes that is his love is always there to greet him with that magnetic smile. The anticipation of going home to him is the same as every day for Larry is his peace. His calm. His light in a dark hour and there's only a split second after revving up the engine Laurent is backing out of his reserved parking spot and driving in the direction of their home...

*****

Laurent pulls into the driveway and just the sight of Larry's car makes him smile. He parks next to it and shuts off the engine then stretches a bit before grabbing his briefcase and stepping out to begin walking towards the front door. He can feel his heart thumping at what's awaiting him inside. He steps in and his senses instantly get a fill of a savory aroma and although he doesn't know what it is yet he's excited to experience the burst of flavors. Larry is so skilled that he can turn a tuna sandwich into the most delicious culinary experience. He hears the faint sound of the TV but he's certain that Larry is in the kitchen perhaps stirring a pot of a special sauce or finely chopping some fresh veggies. He has plans to creep in and hopefully Larry will have his back turned so Laurent can quietly step behind and wrap his arms around his waist then greet him with a soft kiss to his neck. He places his briefcase down then opens the coat closet to hang his coat up but he won't get a chance to surprise his love as he gets the sense that Larry is close so he smiles before he even shuts the door. When he does sure enough there he is with his signature necklace and gorgeous fro. Larry smiles as he greets, "hey". Laurent can't deny that he hears a little something more in that greeting than Larry's usual adorable perkiness. It's sensual and something tells Laurent that by the end of the night he and Larry will be in the throes of their passion. For now he sweetly and softly greets, "hey yourself". Larry takes light steps over to him and when he's halfway there Laurent extends his hand for him to take. The moment Larry's hand is in his Laurent gives him a gentle pull as it's been over eight hours since they've not only felt each other's touch but over eight hours that their bodies connected in some form. He brings him into a hug then pull away only to come together for soft, repetitive kisses...each one more electrifying than the last. Larry smoothly transitions from Laurent's lips to placing soft kisses on his cheek and that's when he hears...
