Laura had been training hard for a month and after getting pestered by her friends, she finally got a chance to invite them to come and see her house. She didn’t want to cook anything since she was going to start working seriously at fashion shows in two days and she didn’t want to ruin all the effort she had made in looking great by cooking herself.So the best solution she could think of is for everyone to bring something. The most she was going to be doing was making a salad. She didn’t even bother tasting it because she had eaten it so many times over the past few weeks that she didn’t find it appetizing enough to taste.She hummed along with the music that was playing in her speakers as she cut up the ingredients and threw them in a salad bowl as she waited for the chicken on the stove to fully cook. As she got lost in what she was doing, she heard the doorbell ring.“Coming,” she shouted as she took off her apron and instinctively took the baseball bat that was by the wall befor
When it was time to eat, everyone helped set the table and sat down to have their late lunch. Everyone stared at Laura’s plate in fascination while she stared at theirs with envy.“Is this enough food?” Rachel asked her as she looked at the salad on Laura’s plate.“I have to eat like this so I don’t hold on to water. I’ll stop once I finish with the shows,” Laura said as she played with the food on her plate. If she was being honest, she didn’t have much of an appetite, but was only eating to accompany her friends.“I admire your professionalism,” Nancy said as she shook her head and took a bite of the lasagna that Rachel had made, her eyes narrowing happily. She was ready to grow fat if Rachel was the one cooking. Laura laughed when she saw the younger woman’s reaction to Rachel’s food. She knew very well that Rachel’s food was made for one’s soul.“Thank you, I’m just happy that it’s rewarding,” Laura said and finally took a bite of her food. Her parents had left her a sizable inher
“Have you eaten?” Laura asked James in between kisses. Both of them were feeling reluctant to let each other go.“Not yet,” James answered as he teasingly sucked on her bottom lip. For a while, the two continued to kiss each other before James reluctantly pulled back.“Are you going to stay the night?” Laura asked him after she was able to make a few of her brain cells function.“Mmmh,” James responded. He wasn’t going to work the next day, and if he didn’t have to go to see his parents, he wouldn’t have rushed to come back to spend some time with Laura.“Okay, make yourself comfortable. I’ll warm up some food for you,” Laura said, ready to let him go, only for James to pinch her chin and peck her lips once before letting her go.Laura licked her lips with a subtle smile as she went to the kitchen, while James shrugged off his suit jacket and went to sit at the kitchen counter.“Did you go out of town again?” Laura asked as she took out the leftovers she had packed earlier.“Yes, we w
After fooling around for a few minutes, James finally got off of her and went to take a shower. Laura remained on the bed as she collected herself and only got off after another five minutes. She stretched her muscles as she walked out of her room and went to knock on the door of the room Rachel was using. A second later, she heard her friend’s soft response, so she opened the door and went inside.“Is something wrong?” Rachel asked her. She was already under the covers, preparing to sleep.“Your brother-in-law is here,” Laura said to her, and Rachel smiled knowingly.“I know,” Rachel responded, her smile growing even wider.“You know?” Laura asked, feeling baffled.“I saw you two earlier when I wanted to go get some water,” Rachel explained, and Laura nodded. Since they spent so much time downstairs, she didn’t think she had seen them kissing in the living room.“Oh, do you still need water? I can go get you some,” Laura offered, and Rachel shook her head.“Already got some,” Rachel
The two rolled around in bed for a while, with James taking advantage of the fact that Laura slept naked to tease her. But the playful atmosphere didn’t last long since James would have to leave soon to go to his parents' house.Eventually, when James felt that things were about to go in the wrong direction, he stopped. He knew that if things got heavy; he was going to be late.After fending off Laura’s restless hands a few times, James finally decided it was time they go out of bed. Laura relaxed on her pillows as she watched James get off the bed to go to the shower.“Do you need help?” she asked him, her voice filled with teasing.“Help?” James asked as he tilted his head.“You know, to wash your… back,” Laura suggested and James laughed in response.“Do you have plans tonight?” James asked her, realising himself that if they didn’t have any intimacy this weekend, the following week was going to feel even longer.“No, I don’t,” Laura answered and watched as James walked back to the
James was sitting in the family garden and having coffee with his family after a heavy lunch. He silently listened to Jason and his mother being talkative with a subtle smile on his face.He was in a good mood, especially because his mother had not brought up the issue of marriage or dating. Just when he thought he might leave while maintaining his current mood, his mother asked his youngest brother when he was going to marry his girlfriend.“It’ll happen eventually, don’t worry about it,” Lucas answered Hellen, who was looking at his girlfriend as if asking her what she was waiting for.“Mom, she is still studying,” Lucas said as he came to her defence.“And?” Hellen did not understand why marriage would interrupt her studies. Weren’t they already living together?“I think it’s still too soon,” Jen chimed in. Hellen liked Lucas’s girlfriend, and seeing that she had voiced her thoughts honestly, she did not continue to push. If she did, she feared that she might stop coming to see the
It started raining as they were driving back to James’s house. Laura sighed comfortably as she watched people scramble for shelter from the car window. Laura turned to look at James, who was currently driving, his eyes completely focused on the road.“How did it go at your parents’ house?” Laura finally asked him.“It was alright, they want to meet you,” James answered as he took a glance at her.“Really? You’ve told them about me?” Laura asked with wide eyes. She wasn’t expecting such news from James.“Jason did. I know my mother. That was why I was holding off on telling her anything,” James said with a small frown. He was still thinking about how he was going to be getting back at Jason.“What’s wrong? Did she have a bad reaction?” Laura asked curiously.“She gets too excited,” James summarised nicely. He knew perfectly well that excitement was an understatement for the way his mother normally reacted whenever she heard that they were dating.“I’d love to meet her,” Laura commented
James kissed Laura as he pushed her down on the bed. Laura, who was equally enthusiastic, wrapped her arms around him and kissed him just as passionately. While hovering over her, he slipped his hand beneath her waist and lifted her slightly to adjust her position so that her legs weren’t hanging off the side of the bed. Laura cooperatively wrapped her legs around his waist, not letting the small details distract her.Now, with her head propped on the pillow, she felt much more comfortable, and as usual, James’s kiss was aggressive. She enjoyed it so much because it was like a testament to just how much he wanted her.His tongue swept into her mouth and teased her tongue and palette so much that only small sighs leaked from her lips. And even those felt like they were being swallowed up by him.When Laura was starting to feel overwhelmed and breathless, James finally gave her some reprieve.James looked into Laura’s eyes as one of his hands squeezed her soft breast. Laura bit her lip
