What about Brian
Chapter 4
Monday
Laura was up very early and put coffee on, she wanted to wait until Brian woke up to take a shower, so she sat at the kitchen table to study. She had a BIG exam this week. Brian rolled over he was alone in bed he sat up and smelled coffee oh she must be in the kitchen, He went to the bathroom then got rid of his YUK mouth with mouth wash. Put on his sweats, and then he looked at the clock.
He thought to himself "why is she up this early it was only 6am"
He walked into the kitchen kissed her
"Good morning honey" she said. "What are you doing up this early?"
"Well I rolled over an you weren't there and I smelled the coffee, so by the time I realized what time it was I was already up so I just stayed up."
"Yeah I had to get up and get some study time in I have a big exam coming up at the end of the week. I didn't want to wake you we were up kind of late last night and I knew you didn't have to be up for another hour or so. I am also used to getting up early because my parents and grandparents kind of drilled it into me about getting up early not wasting the day, that sort of thing, so my body doesn't tend to sleep past 7 am."
"Do you feel like coming back to bed?" He smiled at her with a devilish grin.
"I am not tired" she said matter of factly
"Good neither am I" He said,
they went back into the room and continued where they left off last night before they fell asleep, by about 7:15 Brian knew he had to get up and get ready for work, but she had to push him out of bed.
"Ok ok I am getting up, how bout you take a shower with me?" He asked,
"I like that idea" she said
They were already undressed so he turned on the shower and waited for it to warm up. They took a looooong sloooow shower.
"You know I really don't want to go to work I would rather stay with you," he told her,
"Yes but I won't be here I have class remember I will be there until at least 3ish"
"Oh I forgot ok let's get ready to get out of here then." He said reluctantly,
They got out of the shower and got dressed she went to see if there was anything to make for breakfast.
"Hey don't you ever eat home? I see you don't have a lot of food in the house especially the refrigerator and I like to cook, how about I go grocery shopping after I get out of class, and I feel like steak tonight. What do you think?" she asked
"Yeah that sounds good, hey if you buy cereal don't buy that healthy stuff I like the kid cereal," He laughed
"You know you are going to be eating a lot more at home now that I am with you Bri, because I can really cook."
"That's good because I can burn water." he said
"Well I will just have to teach you and to give you an incentive to want to learn…" She thought a minute, "Well maybe your 1st lesson I will just wear an apron and nothing else" She giggled
"Oh I will be a good boy teacher should I bring you an apple?"
He was almost ready to leave, and then her cell phone went off. She looked at the caller ID. "I don't really want to answer that now I will let it go to voice mail and call back later." She said with a frown on her face.
He saw the look on her face "What's wrong honey, who is it?" Brian asked, "Oh it's just my parent's number, I am so not in the mood this early in the morning. I mean really if your phone was ringing right now and you saw it was your dad would you answer it."
"Yeah I see your point well I really have to go" He kissed her good bye "I love you honey. I will see you around 5pm depending on traffic."
She watched him out the window get in the car and drive off. She really didn't have a horrible relationship with her parents it's just that they wanted her to be something that she wasn't, She listened to the voice mail it was her mother She had a function she wanted her to go to some society thing plus she wondered why she hadn't heard from her in a while and wanted to touch base. She dialed her mother back.
It rang and her mother answered it. "Hello Laura I am glad you called me right back. I haven't seen you in a while I wanted to get together with you plus I haven't seen your new place, your living with that actress right?"
"Well actually I am going to be moving out of the down stairs apartment to the upstairs apartment with my…." She hesitated she almost called him fiancée. Boyfriend Brian." She told her.
"Oh well when did this happen, seems kind of sudden don't you think?"
Laura heard the judgmental tone in her mother's voice "Well I have known him since we moved in downstairs but we just recently decided to live together."
"And what does this young man do for a living, he does work doesn't he?"
"Yes mom he actually just left for work I was saying goodbye to him when you called. He works for a company called KC Gaming he is the VP of marketing and development."
"Oh well sounds like an impressive title, well that's good anyway so what do you say about us getting together this week?"
"Mom you know I have school, I actually have to go soon I have class in 45 minutes"
"Well then promise me you will call me tonight."
"Ok I will call you after dinner. I have to go now bye." She hung up the phone
Brian stopped for coffee before he went to work and he was in such a good mood he bought one for Dave too. He got there at 8:45 and before he went into his office he stopped by Dave's cubicle.
"Good morning Dave" Brian said in a much too happy voice "Here have a coffee"
"Oh thanks Bri, you are much too happy for a Monday morning pal and way too wide awake and I bet you didn't get much sleep last night either."
Brian just laughed at him. "You would be right as far as the sleep goes, you know Dave I can't even begin to tell you how happy Laura makes me" He said with the biggest smile on his face. "Ok enough of this talk, we have work to do when you are done with that email to Natasha, come in to my office so we can go over that new game Life Sux , Just give me about 5 minutes"
Dave went into the Brian's office about 5 minutes later and they worked on the new game all morning.
Laura went to class, she had a very busy morning, and she found it hard to concentrate though. She kept going back to the conversation with her mother that morning, and she was dreading calling her tonight. "I wish I had a normal family like everyone else" she said out loud but didn't think anyone heard her but they did.
One of her classmates and a study partner Gail over heard her, "Now think about it Laura if everyone else had a NORMAL FAMILY would there really be a need for mental health providers, think about it we are taking psychology classes. If everyone had a normal family we would have no hope in getting a job when we got out of here," then they both laughed
"I guess you are right Gail." Laura replied
Around 11 am she was out of class and didn't have another one for an hour and a half, she took out her cell phone and called Brian at work,
It rang only one he answered "Brian Davis here"
"Hey honey it's me have any plans for lunch or are you too busy?"
"Laura I am never too busy for you." he told her, Well I have an hour and a half until my next class if you want to meet somewhere?"
"Do you feel like coming my way?" Brian asked. "There is a great sub shop across the street."
"Sure Bri, I will meet you outside your building in 10 minutes."
"Ok see you in a few." He hung up and saved the work he had on the computer and then headed downstairs he passed Dave and told him he was heading out for lunch and was meeting Laura.
"Well Brian just make sure you remember to come back" he said jokingly
"Very funny Dave, I will be back in an hour or so if anyone is looking for me." Brian said.
He took the elevator met Laura outside at her car as she pulled in about 10 minutes later. He opened the door for her,
"Hi honey you got here quick." He said
"Yeah I was lucky no traffic."
They walked across the street to get lunch. Luckily it was still early enough that the lunch time crowd hadn't fully packed the place yet. They got their lunch and sat at a table in the corner away from everyone so they could have a little bit of chatted in general about their day so far then
Brian asked, "Did you ever call your parent's number back." After he saw the expression on her face change from happy to a frown he realized maybe he shouldn't have asked her. "OH not a good question huh sorry I asked honey"
"It's ok Brian, yes I called my mom back, it isn't always a pleasure to talk with her. She can be well condescending, to say the least. I was in a rush this morning or so I told her so she made me promise to call her back tonight. I am not looking forward to that call."
"I am sorry honey," he then kissed her trying to get her to smile again. Then he thought to himself "I know what will work, Hey honey, are you still going to give me a cooking lesson tonight when you cook dinner? You remember, the one in which you were only going to wear an apron and nothing else."
That put a smile on her face. "Yes I will but you have to let me cook, because I have a feeling you won't want to let me get any cooking done."
"Hey it was your idea." He laughed.
They finished their lunch. They made a list of what she was going to get when she was going food shopping, he handed her $100 she didn't want to take it but he convinced too anyway and then he went back to work and she went back to school. She was done with class by 3:30 and then needed to go food shopping. She got everything on the list plus a bunch of staples that she would need like cooking spices and butter and a whole lot of other stuff not on the list, because Brian had nothing in the kitchen, then again men don't usually shop for that stuff. She also got a fancy little apron, for her and a manly one for him that she would make him wear too. She couldn't believe how much she spent for just two people; she spent way more than he gave her. Luckily she had her own money.
She looked at the time and said to herself, "wow it was already 4:45 I had better get a move on it,"
She put everything in the car. She had so much stuff; it didn't all fit in the trunk she had to put some in the back seat well except for the bag that contained the two aprons that went on the front seat. Then she got in the car and headed back to the apartment. When she got there Brian had already gotten home. He saw her pull in and went out to meet her and help her bring the food in.
He saw what was in the backseat "Wow that's a lot of groceries"
Then she opened the trunk, He looked at all that and said as he laughed, "What did you do buy everything in the store? There is certainly more here than what was on the list." Then he noticed the little bag she had. "What's in the bag?" He asked.
She pulled out both aprons "One for you and one for me," she told him. "And tonight when we make dinner that's all we are allowed to wear"
Brian then said in a sexy voice, "Then I don't know how much we will get done, we may never eat."
Then he pulled her close and kissed her. They brought all the stuff in the apartment, It took them forever to put everything away,
"I will rearrange this tomorrow it's just put away for now" she said.
They only kept out what they were going to eat tonight. "So now we have to change into these," as she held up the aprons. "I will go lock the door. We wouldn't want any surprise visitors wearing only these," she laughed.
She went in the bathroom and he stayed in the bedroom. And when they were done they only had the cute little aprons on and nothing else. She came out to him standing right there waiting for her,
"Are you sure you want to eat?" he asked "You will need food for energy Bri, otherwise you won't last, if you know what I mean" she teased. "So are you ready for cooking lesson number one?"
He nodded his yes with that devilish grin on his face again, and they walked into the kitchen. She followed behind him and she couldn't resist grabbing that tight butt of his.
"You like my butt, huh?" he asked. "You can touch it some more"
And she did but as she did he grabbed her hands and made her touch his front, "You can touch this too"
she touched him enough that he closed his eyes and let out a small moan of pleasure. She knew that he wanted more and she wanted to tease him but she made him wait, she took her hands off and said "Ok let's make dinner, I am hungry"
"He turned around and grabbed her and kissed her and said "I am hungry for something else"
she wiggled out of his grasp. She handed him the potato peeler and said. "You can peel potatoes right?
"Yes Miss Smartie pants I can do that." he said sarcastically
When he was done with the 4 large potatoes she gave him, he said "now what?"
she told him, "cut them in half fill the pan with water stick them in the pan to cook oh and you will need to put the burner on by the way,"
"Oh very funny Ya think" he said
then she told him "when it boils turn it down to medium I assume you know to put together a salad,"
"I guess I never had to before." "Well here break up the lettuce and put it in the salad strainer/spinner and rinse it out"
"Where did that thing come from" pointing to the salad spinner thing
"I bought it today along with everything else that this kitchen needed at least until I come across something I need and don't have, besides I still have a lot of stuff that's mine downstairs that I have to bring up"
she put out the rest of the vegetables she had him cut them up when it was done she had him put them together and she covered the bowl and out it in the refrigerator, While she had him doing everything she put a bottle of red wine in the ice bucket then she had made a marinade cut up the steak into strips put it in a large sealable zip loc bag and put it in the refrigerator to She told him she wanted the steak to marinate some more.
"Marinate when did you do that and what did you marinate it in, Usually if I were to cook steak would just throw it on the broiler as is" He said.
"I cut it up while you were busy doing other things and I had thrown together a simple marinade "
"But what is it" he asked
"honey Italian marinade. It's easy to throw together. Mix the following ingredients well, and then pour the marinade over the raw steak: 1 1/2 cups steak sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/3 cup Italian-style salad dressing, 1/3 cup honey, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder that's it simple."
"If you say so" he said
"Hey watch the potatoes so they don't boil over the pan, they are at a point that you want to turn it to medium for 20 minutes then turn it down to simmer after that, and now we wait for about 15 minutes then we can broil the steak I like mine medium what about you?"
"Medium works for me" he said
"then we broil it for about 8-10 minutes"
" so you said we wait for 15 minutes, what do you want to do while we wait?" he asked
"Well I am going to preheat the broiler but, we can't really leave the kitchen area Brian so I don't know what did you have in mind?"
He grabbed her and put his hand between her thighs and used his fingers to work his magic on her. A small moan escaped her mouth. "Oh Brian" was all she said,
"That was so good Bri, after we eat I will return the favor"
"I like that idea" he said, "Ok back to work" she said
"Slave driver" he replied and laughed
"Ok let's put the steaks on the broiler and set the timer for 5 minutes then we check them after that"
"I don't think I have ever had his much fun cooking before." he said "I vote we always cook with just the aprons on"
"Nah" she said
"Why" he asked
"I think next time we can skip the aprons they get in the way" she giggled
"You know we don't need to wear these aprons when we eat, and I think instead of setting the table we should bring the food in the bedroom. What do you think Bri?"
"Good idea you don't have to ask me twice" he said
Timer went off and she flipped over steak put it on for 3 more minutes Ok "Potatoes are done"
"How can you tell" He asked
"see how mushy they are when you poke them. Ok drain the water out then you add either milk or cream but only add a little at a time you don't want it watery and butter and mash them up ok"
he did as she instructed, she brought the wine and glasses and condiments in the bedroom then she got the bed tray she bought today out and put silverware napkins, bowls and the plates on it,
He saw what she had. "Did you buy that too?" He laughed.
Timer went off again steak was done she took it out "You did a good job with the potatoes see I told you nothing to it."
She put the salad in the bowls and all the food on the plates He carried the tray to the bedroom he had his back to her as he was putting the tray on the bed she slipped the apron off and let it fall to the floor and she took her hair out of the ponytail and let it fall loosely around her face"
He turned back to her and saw what she had done. "God you're so beautiful" he said
he took his apron off too, poured them each a glass of wine and they ate, on the bed, "Wow this is so good, I would have never had anything turn out this good on my own,"
They finished their food and he put everything on the tray and put it on the floor, "We can clean up later" He said
"Yes we can." She said. "Hey didn't I tell you earlier I would uhm return the favor?"
"Yes you did,"
"So tell me Bri what do you want?" she asked,
"I think you know" he said,
"I want you to lay back and enjoy me taking care of you this time," she grabbed his hand and put his fingers in her mouth I can do this as she had his fingers in her mouth somewhere else."
And she looked down. And then she did just that. She took her time Then she went back up to his face his eyes were still closed and kissed him,
he said "That felt so good"
"I am glad you liked it, and I am glad you ate all that food because you are going to need the energy for stamina tonight honey." She told him
she let him rest for just a little bit then she started to kiss his neck, "You better not be falling asleep" She told him
"I am not" and he maneuvered so he was on top of her "I am pretty quick or I can be VERY SLOW"
they were intimate the for the next few hours.
"I don't think I am every going to get tired of this he said. "I love you so much my sweet Laura."
Being with him made her completely forget that she had promised to call her mother after dinner, and her cell phone was on vibrate so she didn't hear it when he mother tried to call her that night. so she completely forgot about it.
