Chapter 17 HIS LAUGH

Trembling crept into my chest when Lauressa said that I did not know what those words meant. All I know, it was a threat.

What do I care about? Nothing matters to me but my love.

Laurent continued to walk towards the room, not minding what Lauressa said.

I felt the softness of the bed as Laurent laid me down. I stared at the big picture in front of the bed. It was a huge picture frame of him with 'Laurent Baider' engraved below. He was dressed formally with no emotional aura.

"What do you need?" He sat on the bed and looked at me.

"You, you're what I need." It was hard for me to smile because of what happened.

I sat up and leaned back on the headboard of the bed.

"What were you asking again earlier?" I managed to smile. I was exhausted and I knew he felt that. Instead of answering he looked at the part of my neck. I also looked at his eyes, there was a wound, I didn't notice.

He left and came back with a medical kit.

"Are you hurt?" He sat down next to me and looked at my neck again, trying to figure out if it was extreme.

"I'm fine."

I tapped the cotton on my neck with unknown medicine, I did not manage to look at it because my focus was on his face.

"I'll fetch you everyday." He said without emotion.

"Why?" My eyebrow wrinkled as I felt the crawling pain sensation from my neck spreading around.

"Because I want to."

Was there no other reason?

"By the way," I smiled and stared him in the eye. "Are you already answering my question to be your girlfriend?" I said enthusiastically.

"No," he asked, frowning.

It was hard for him to flirt! Geez.

Why not? He saved me and then he said earlier 'my girl?' Then now he won't answer me yet? It was hard for me to understand him.

“You should have answered my question,” I was stunned when he said that.

Does he mean the question he asked earlier?

I smiled at my own thoughts.

"Can you be my baby girl?" He looked me in the eyes seriously and directly.

Baby girl? Woah!

My smile widened and I almost jumped for joy. I could feel my heart beating.

My heart was full of gladness. Was this a dream?

"Yes!" I jumped on the bed and hugged him. He also hugged me tightly. All of my fears that I felt, scared and sadness all disappeared. This was the happiest day of my life. It was incomparable to any material in this world.

"Are you officially my boyfriend? Are you?" I said excitedly, still jumping.

"Yeah, just change your clothes," he said emotionlessly.

Was he not happy?

He took a paper bag and handed it to me.

"Get dressed I'll go out first," I was about to say but he turned around and went out.

He's my boyfriend! That Baider man! Ahh!

I almost cried, but this cry was tears of joy. I could not believe that he was now my boyfriend!

I jumped into the bathroom. There, I screamed loudly and after that, I took a quick shower. When I looked at the paperbag it was pink sleepwear.

Why was there sleepwear? Am I going to sleep here? There were also uniforms and undies.

I just put on the pajamas. When I came out I was surprised because he was wearing his partner's clothes. We were wearing a couple sleepwear.

It was so cute!

I ran towards him and jumped into the bed.

"Will I sleep here?" I happily told him and flopped on the bed. I hugged his back and put my face on his shoulder.

"You do not want to?" He asked back. He stroked my hair which made me feel thrilled. I was so happy to be touched by him. It was like heaven.

"Are we sleeping here together?" I asked with my full smile.

He automatically turned around and looked at me. "No, you sleep here, I will sleep in the other room." He averted his gaze.

"Just stay here!" Without saying a word I sat on his lap.

"Hey! You're naughty!" He tried to remove me as I sat on his lap but I was stubborn, never let him do that.

"I thought I am your 'girl'?"

"Yes, but it doesn't mean you act like this. Remember that you're a girl." He removed me from my seat on his lap but I didn't move.

"What! I want it here." I muttered.

"Okay, then." He averted his gaze again but I took his hand and hugged it on my waist.

"Be sweet sometimes. You will not die from that. Just try it."

I could already feel his hug on my waist.

Imagine? Laurent Baider? My boyfriend? Woah! It can't be!

"You look happy." For the first time I saw his wide smile.

I was stunned. Handsome! I could not stop myself from staring at him. From his seductive eyes, her perfect nose. I stayed my gaze on his nose. Suddenly, I touched it with my index finger down to his lips. It was really attractive. He is really handsome in any angle of his face.

Being with him in this room was unbelievable. It was like dreaming, a beautiful dream that I did not want to wake up.

I gently caressed his lips with my finger, watching its move, memorizing the details of it.

"Don't try to kiss me, okay? We're alone here in my room," he said, avoiding the look as if he was preventing me. "Don't be naughty," I saw his red ear.

What's that? I looked at his ear side by side.

"Why are you blushing? What happened to your ears? Are you hurt?"

It was not looked sore or wounded, just red in color. I turned his face from left and right to look at both of his ears.

I was stunned when he laughed without me knowing the reason.

Really? Laurent was laughing? That's new.

His laugh was like music to my ear. And his face with his full smile was beautiful view ever.

"It's my thing, baby girl," he said while smiling.

Baby girl? Now, I know what that was. He was thrilled, causing his ears to blush.
