Chapter 7
So, So What
A/N: Again thank you to Oreo13. Thank you to ShelliTHFan!. I don't know why, but I'm just in the mood to write all of the sudden. Well, I guess it's good for me in the end. Oh, and to Oreo13, huggles you back.
Laurie didn't think she had ever seen anything so perfect. He was angelic in every way possible. His dirty blonde hair was kept in long dreadlocks. His bottom lip was peirced. She didn't know why, buy she just loved the baggy clothes he wore. The cap he wore was especially enticing. Oh fuck! She had to say something back to him!
" I-i-it's nice to meet you i-i-n person Tom."
" Is something vrong? Cat got your tounge?"
" No. just a little flustered. Been working in the kitchen."
" Okay." He passed her, walking into her small haven.
" Halo Laurie, I am Bill."
Good Lord above! What the hell was on his head?! Oh my god... was that his hair. Yes... it was. Unlike his brother, Bill had a very...unique style. His hair could only be described as a lion's mane. He wore skin tight clothes that reaveled his amazingly skinny figure. His topaz colored eyes were lined perfectly with coal black eye liner. How in the name of all that's holy, could someone be that skinny?!
" Child, you need to eat. Look at you! You're skinnier than me! I know, you're eating good tonight."
" Laurie, it's fine. I just have high metabolism. Das all."
" Doesn't matter. You're still eating good."
He gave a goofy smile, shook his head then walked past her. Honestly, how the hell did he keep his head straight?
" Halo, ve meet again."
Looking over, Laurie met Gustav's playful blue eyes. At least she could count on him to keep a normal weight.
" Gustav!" She threw arms around the tiny man.
" Laurie!" Jokingly, he threw his arms around her too.
" Okay okay, break it up. I vant to get to meet her!" Laurie looked up, a man stood before her. He was shorter than Tom or Bill. Yet he was still taller than Gustav and herself. His shoulder length brown hair hung messily in his face. Pretty green-gray eyes stared back at her.
" Georg!" In turn she threw her arms around him, and he her.
" Now how come ve didn't get greeted like that?"
Laurie turned, where Bill and Tom stood with mock angry looks on their Laurie ran down the hall towards them.
" Bill, I don't want to break you." Stopping just before she got to him, she took very tiny prescise steps then gently wrapped her arms around him. She squealed in suprise when he picked her up. She had no choice but to wrap her legs around his waist, she didn't want to fall.
He leaned forward and his cool lips brushed against her ear." I've only just met you, and you're already squealing?"
And for the thrid time that night she put a tomato to shame. " Bill!!" She playfully slaped his skinny shoulder.
" That's right scream my name!" He laughed, she glared. Unwrapping her legs from his waist, she demanded to be put down. And just like that the ground was rushing up to meet her face. She grabbed on to the thing that was nearest to her and hung on for dear life.
Now I know what you're all thinking. She grabbed on to Tom and they shared an amazing moment of eye contact, right? Wrong. She happened to grab on to Oreo, who had come in to see what all the commotion was about. Now Oreo, being unprepared for the spider monkey that was about to attach itself to her, went down almost immeadiately after Laurie latched onto her. Now, how would this look to Nathaniel, who had just walked out of the living room to see Laurie and Oreo sprawled out on the floor? He did what any sensible gay man would do.
" Laurie, when were you planning on telling me that you had come over to my side?"
Laurie, already embaressed beyond beleif, did not reply. For she couldn't, she was to busy laughing her ass off as she and Oreo tried to detangle thenselves from one another. Laurie, remembering that she still had something to do, turned and jumped into an angel's arms.
" Tom!"
(With Tom)
I looked down at the small woman that had just attached herself to me. She was amazingly perfect. Her lips were the perfect size and shape. Her emerald green eyes sparkled with mischeif and mayhem. Long strands of dark curls fell in a perfect halo around her heart shaped face. Her little body molded perfectly to mine. And for once I didn't care that a woman was,literally, throwing herself at me.
" Ummm, Laurie? Am I interupting something?"
And just like that, my perfect moment was ruined.
(Back to regular veiw)
Laurie could feel his hard body beneath her own, and she liked what she felt. His dreadlocks brished against her cheeks and arms. She was in pure bliss. She didn't know what it was about this man that could send her mind reeling and her stomach churning, but she liked it.
" Ummm, Laurie? Am I interupting something?"
She felt reality crash back down on her. She turned her head, and her smile faded into nothingness. A handsome young man stood in her doorway. His shaggy black hair fell into his cerelucan blues messily. HIs strong body stood straight and tall.
" Alex..." Laurie breathed out the name that had caused her so much pain for so long.
Oreo, sensing that the two would need some privacy said, " Why don't you five follow me into the kitchen and get yourselves something to drink." When Bill started to protest, she clamped her hand over his mouth and and the unoccupied arm around his waist. " Just trust me on this one." She almost lost an eye whispering into his ear, but she still made it to his ear. He simply nodded.
Nathaniel stayed a little bit longer than the rest, glaring at Alex intently. But after a pleading look from Laurie, he followed the others inot the kitchen.
" So...how is...Cassandra?" Laurie couldn't help but sneer at the mention of the woman's name.
" Actually, that's what I'm here to talk to you about. You see, we broke up, and I was wondering if maybe there could be an us again."
" An us?"
" Yeah, you know. A you and me."
" What the hell makes you think for even a second, that I would take you back? That has long since sailed."
" Laurie please. I realized how much I miss the way you smile at me, the way you crinkle yournose when you yawn in the morning, the way you take your coffee black but put sugar in it. Laurie just think about it, we could be happy together."
" But what if I'm already happily in a relationship?"
" With who?"
" Vith me."
Laurie and Alex both turned and looked at the tall figure who stood behind Laurie.
" Hey pal, we're trying to talk here."
" I know, and I don't like the vay you're talking to MY girlfriend."
" Hey, who do you think you are?"
" Better than you, I have her by my side."
Laurie slowly walked forward, then stopped just in front of Alex. " It's just like he said, I don't need you tonight."
And with that said, she slammed her door in his face.
" Thanks Bill."
" It's no trouble. He vas causing you trouble. My mother taught me that vomen are to be treated better than dat."
Laurie nodded as tears started to cloud her vson.
" Laurie? Vhat's vrong?"
She didn't reply as her tiny frame started to shake with silent sobs. She didn't react when Bill's skinny arms wrapped around her, she only started to cry harder.
" Shhhhhh, it's okay. You are safe."
When his gentle whispering didn't seem to help, Bill started to gently hum Durch Den Monsun. Her tiny body stopped shaking when he bagen to run his hand through her dark hair. She finally stopped crying when he started to softly sing the chorus.
Neither noticed the tall figure in baggy clothes, who stood at the end of the hallway. Watching enviously as Laurie's small body relaxed against Bill's own tall frame.
A/N: Okay, that was a hard chapter to write, mainly because I didn't want to put the last part in, but it had to be done. Bitte rate and reveiw.
