Save Me

34| Brandon

I was on a good high without meds for the first time in a long time. Lauren had that effect on me. What happened last night wasn't planned, but it was amazing man.

"You just gone stare at me in my sleep."

I smiled at Laurie as she spoke with her eyes still closed. "Gotta make sure you don't go nowhere," I told her as my grip around her body tightened. "Y'all women love to leave men hanging."

Lauren's sudden laughter filled the room as she adjusted her bare body on my chest. "Says the reformed hoe. Plus, this is my house so if anything you would've had to dip out."

I couldn't help but to laugh at her comment because she was speaking facts to me. "Don't act like you wasn't plotting on me back in the day," I said. Lauren playfully rolled her eyes at me.

"You swear you the shit cause of that lil crush," she said with a small smirk.

I shrugged and licked my lips while our eyes were settled on each other. I'm so in love with this girl it's crazy man. "Nah, baby. That's all you," I told her before kissing her forehead.

Lauren doodled on my chest as I kept my eyes focused on her. I could tell that something was on her mind, but knowing her I was going to have to force it out of her. "What you thinking about baby?"

She shrugged and shook her head like that was I wasn't going to continue to push the issue. "Nothing," she said.

I smacked my teeth and twist my mouth to the side because she loves to try to deflect. "What? I ain't hit that shit how you wanted," I joked.

Lauren's laughter filled up the room just before she popped me on the shoulder. "Shut up, Bam. You know how to wor—"

I furrowed my brows as she stopped saying her original thought. "I know how to what? Don't leave me hanging like that," I said, smirking at her now blushed face.

"I've never had a orgasm until tonight, so what you think?" she admitted with a smirk that showed more embarrassment than anything else, but I was genuinely happy that I could do that for her. As a man I always felt it was important make sure my  partner got off just as much as I did.

"Ok, then. What's up?"

"I just have a question about something," Lauren finally said.

I nodded and sat up slightly on the couch. "Alright, and I just might have an answer for you. So shoot."

"So, you and Mikayla Gray..."

Lauren didn't finish her thought, but she didn't have to because I knew what she was getting at. When I was at the rehabilitation center, paparazzi loved to randomly take pictures of me and Mikayla hanging out.

"C'mon now. That's nothing for you to about, she's my friend."

"Ok, I just didn't know. TMZ loved reporting about that every other day. Y'all by the pool, you giving her a hug...every damn move y'all made."

I chuckled softly and tightened my grip around her body. "I love you. I'm in love with you, Lauren Syre Winters...I think I always have been."

Lauren cracked a smile and pecked my lips. "Oh, so you using my maiden name now?"

I nodded slowly. "Mhm, gotta get that Santos shit out of here until I put a ring on it and you become a Wallace."

"You so damn cute when you being a sap and shit. I need to get you wide open like this more often," Lauren teased me and I mentally rolled my eyes at her.
