The more Stanley tried to untangle himself from Lauren's cuddle, the more she snuggled closer to him.
Stan chuckled softly, Wrenny was still as clingy as the first time they met.
Because she wouldn't let him leave her side, he decided to comply with her demands, at least till she slept deeply. So Stanley stayed back and caressed her hair while showering kisses on her face once a while. And when he noticed she was deeply asleep, he quietly untangled himself from her and made his way out of their bedroom into Royal's bedroom which was just a few steps away from thiers.
And just like every other morning, Little ro-ro was up in his crib with his eyes wandering around. No doubt the little guy was looking for his mama or papa.
His lips curved into an adorable smile as soon as he sighted Stanley.
"Daadaa" He giggled and imme

By the time Lauren successfully climbed the last staircase that leads to her Boss's bedroom, she heaved a sigh of relief. It was hard enough trying to get her Boss who was drunk to climb the stairs. He was far bigger and muscular than she is but she was happy she was able to drag him all the way up. "Sir, I think I've tried. You should be able to go to your room from here. I will be on my way to my apartment." Lauren said to her Boss. She was about disconnecting her hands that was intertwined with his own when he clung onto them as if his life depended on being close to her. "Don't go, Please!" He whispered, looking into her worried but beautiful eyes. The eyes that he can sit down and look into for the rest of his life. "B....but Sir, I...I have to go." Lauren pleaded, ignoring the sparks she was feeling and the shivers that were running down her spine as a result of his touch.

Stanley groaned and buried his face deeper into the pillow at the feel of a very big headache. He rarely drinks or gets drunk but whenever he does, he gets the worst hangover ever. Reluctantly, he stood up from his bed and made his way to his cabinet for some hangover painkillers. He reached for a glass of water on his nightstand and gulped down the pills. He sat back on his bed to relax and suddenly, memories of yesterday night came rushing back to him. Stan groaned and buried his face in his hands. Then he reached for his phone on the nightstand and dialled Lauren. He honestly had no idea what he was going to say to her. He just wanted to hear her voice, make sure she's okay and then maybe apologize to her for going too far yesterday. He waited patiently for Lauren to pick up his call but she didn't which was very unusual of her. She was always at his beck and call, picking up in the first four rings.

Just for his peace of mind, to make sure she hasn't done anything to hurt himself, he sent one of his security guards to find out how she was doing. It turned out that Lauren was okay, she was in her apartment all though except when she went grocery shopping in the afternoon. Stanley woke up at his usual time; he did his morning rituals, dressed up for work, reached for his phones, wallets and briefcase and then made his way downstairs to have his breakfast. He was approached by his Driver, Isaac, who greeted him and collected his briefcase. "Where's Lauren?" He asked Issac. "I have no idea Sir, I haven't seen her this morning, " Issac replied. This has never happened

He smiled at her and ushered her to take a seat by pointing towards the double couch on the far end of his office. Stan talked to his partner for a few more minutes before he ended the call. With a smile on his face, he rose to his feet and made his way towards Lauren. He placed a kiss on her right cheek before taking a seat beside her. His gesture made her blush and she avoided looking into his eyes. Stan chuckled, 'She's so cute'He leaned closer to her and said. "There's nothing to be shy about my love. I want you to start getting used to it because I'll be showering you with so much love.""But we need to be careful." She whispered. Stanley nodded, understanding what she meant.

"Hi, " She smiled at him as soon as they came face to face with each other. Lauren was almost ready, she was in a simple knee-length dress while Stan was in his casual clothes.

I wanted you to come with me so I had to use Anita's name to avoid you refusing."Lauren smiled, "Your sister already apologized on your behalf."Stanley's lips curved into a small smile. "I'll remember to thank her later."Lauren nodded and they continued walking towards her apartment with their hands intertwined. "We also talked about You, me and Rita." She mumbled after a while. "But mostly about me and you." She added. "Anita plays the

On weekdays, Lauren usually wakes up before Stanley. She would have read her Bible and prayed, picked out Stanley's outfit, reached out to the chef on what she and Stan wanted for breakfast, before waking Stanley up at 6 by showering kisses all over his face.But that was not the case this morning as Lauren was a bit under the weather.Around 2 am in the morning, Stanley noticed Lauren was shivering while cuddling against him. The air conditioner was at a normal temperature and they were both properly covered with a duvet.He panicked and felt her temperature with the back of his palm, he noticed her body was warm which was sort of a relief but he was still worried because she was shivering."Wrenny, my love." He shook her lightly."Babe?!" He called, before placing a kiss on the crown of her head.She tiredly opened her eyes.

She knew he was there because that particular guest room was his next favourite room in his house after the master bedroom and peanut's room.It was as if Stanley had foreseen that there would be times he and Lauren would have a disagreement that would prompt them to stay in separate rooms so Stan made Lauren design that particular bedroom to his taste.Wrenny softly connected her fist against the door and knocked three times. She waited for a reply but heard nothing.Fresh tears welled up in her eyes again.
