Chapter 23 INTERTWINING HANDS
ANMELA’S POV
After cuddling in the garden, we cuddled in the stairs, going up. We were both laughing. I have never seen him laugh like that since I met him. His eyes were sparkling as if I was the person he needed to sustain his dark world.
When I looked up, I froze when I saw Lauressa on the second floor, looking at me as if she would gulp me whole. She was like a vampire who was sipping blood. Because of what I was thinking, the fear was becoming extreme in my chest.
Oh, gosh. Don’t mind like that, Anmela! We are in reality and vampires should not exist. Maybe I was just thinking like that because of too much watching of Twilight, I finished all of the episodes and it kept repeating inside my head.
“Anmela Eris?”
I blinked three times when I heard Laurent calling me. “Ahm, yes?”
“I said, hurry up. We are late.” He held my hand and continued stepping up the stairs.
When I looked again at the second floor where Lauressa was located, she was not there. That made my body tremble.
We walked faster and moved inside the room. Laurent shut the door and gestured to me to go to the bathroom.
“You said we are taking a bath together?” I looked at him with confusion. “Aren’t you?”
“I did, but it was just a joke. So go there and fix yourself. I will take my bath to the other room.” He moved to his closet and looked for his school uniform.
I stared at his broad back. I smirked when naughtiness came into my mind. I slowly walked towards him and hugged his back. His body froze, but that was just a second.
My mouth went to his ear. “How about accepting your offer of not going to school? Just for today?” I whispered those words in a soft voice. I was seducing him.
“Nope. I have patients today and I will train the nurses.” There was a stutter in his voice. That means I was influencing him that much.
My hands traveled from his chest down to his belly. Take note of the slow motion and the touching that reflects igniting on his part.
“What are you doing?” I could feel that he was gulping his saliva, wetting his throat with the tension I was giving to him.
“Cherishing my boyfriend.” I would not mind if I gave him my whole world. He would be my first and last. It did not matter at all.
“Go to the bathroom, Baby Girl. Don’t tease me.” He caught my hand and removed it gently. “Go there. We need to go to school. Study first, remember?” He enveloped his masculine arms on my waist. He moved his face closer and kissed me on my cheek. “Study first.” He repeated.
“Fine.” I pouted with disappointment. I wanted more time with him, but I knew there was still plenty of time to spend with him. “I will take a bath.” A smile formed on my lips. I gave him a quick kiss on the lips before running towards the bathroom. I left him with a gesture of shaking his head. He could not believe my attitude.
I was singing while soaping my body. I did that fast to avoid coming late to school. After that, I went out with just a towel on my body.
Laurent was sitting on the bed, putting on his black shoes. “Come on, Baby Girl. Make it-” He looked at me, then, he gulped.
That was what I wanted. Clearing his throat. “Why did you stop?”
“Go and put your uniforms on. I brought that last night.” He averted his looks on me. He went to the closet ang got his laboratory gown.
“You are so handsome, Baby Boy.” I said that with a full sweet voice.
“Thank you.”
I grabbed the new uniform and went to the bathroom again.
When I moved out, he was now prepared ready to go. My eyes viewed his shining black shoes, formal inside clothes and lab gown. He was just used to wearing the lab gown even though he was not in the school.
“Wow. My boyfriend is so heart pumping, handsome and attractive!” I ran towards him and hugged him so tight. He did the same thing.
We walked in the huge mansion with our hands intertwined. “What can you say about going out on a weekend?” He asked while putting his hands on my shoulder.
“That’s a very good plan, but…” I pouted with a sad expression. “I have work. If we are going out. We should give time to each other for the whole day. So that we can fully enjoy and know each other more.”
“Why don’t you not go?”
“Nope. I have to go to work. I don’t want to get fired.”
He held my hand while the other one was opening the car. He guided me to go inside. Then, he walked towards the driver seat.
In the middle of our silence, Laurent’s phone rang. Lauressa was calling, he just ignored that.
“What is wrong? You can answer it.” I grabbed the phone when it rang again and answered it.
“You did not bring your lunch box again!” Lauressa’s voice was usually loud and angry. I chuckled a bit. I remembered those days that I brought Laurent a lunchbox just to make him breakfast. Of course, he would not eat when I did not force him, like how Lauressa cared about him.
“What does she say?” Laurent wrinkled his forehead. I stretched my arms to straighten the waves on it.
“Laurent, you are supposed to be a doctor and you should know how important breakfast is.” This time, Lauressa’s voice lowered.
I was just shutting my mouth. So she would not know that it was me, listening to her rants and lectures to her brother. I found it sweet. She was taking care of Laurent like he was her mother.
“What? You are not answering me?” Lauressa started to be annoyed again, that was why I put the phone on Laurent’s ear.
“I already ate breakfast. I promised. Yeah, with Anmela. Yes. I swear.” He wrinkled his forehead. I put my finger on his forehead to remind him that he should not knitted his forehead, so he straightened it.
“Yeah, yeah. Whatever.” He gestured to me to hang up the phone so I did.
“What did she say?” I gave him a beautiful, perfect smile.
“She said, take care.”
“Woah! She is so sweet! I hope I have a sister like her, or a brother. I am an only child. So sad, but that is not a problem. My mom and dad really love me. Actually, I am dreaming big because of them. I should be a registered nurse. I will be!”From NôvelDrama.Org.
There was a small smile on his lips. He turned the steering wheel to the left. “You will, when you believe.”
“Do you believe in me?”
“Yes. I believed in you. Actually, I can see you as a successful nurse.”
The car stopped. I did not notice that we were already in the parking lot of Laurente. We had not yet stepped down from the car. He moved closer to me and glued our foreheads. “You will be a nurse and take care of me forever.”
“You are a doctor.” A chuckle came out of my mouth. “You can take care of me, too.”
“We should take care of each other.” He moved closer, he kissed me on the lips. He would never tire of kissing me as if it was always our first time.
We moved out of the car with a wide thrilling smile on our lips.
We are now ready to face the world with intertwining hands.
