Her Baby Boy Can't Sleep Alone

Laura had been staying at James's apartment for two nights because the boy wouldn't let her go back to her own apartment. Tomorrow is Monday and he has to go to work as usual. Laura wants to go home this afternoon to clean up the apartment and also pack the things she will bring to Thailand.

"James I'm going back to the apartment this afternoon. Can you take me or can I go alone?" Laura asked James who was reading something on his cell phone screen.

James put down his cellphone and said, "Okay, I'll drop you off, Honey. What time are you leaving?"

"How about now? It's 4:30," Laura answered, glancing at her watch.

They went down to the basement hand in hand and then climbed into James's white Fortuner. Actually, their apartment is only 5 minutes away. Laura asked James to drop her off in the front lobby of the building instead.

"See you dear," said Laura, waving goodbye to James who was still sitting behind the steering wheel of his car.

James smiled and waved back at Laura then started the car again to go back to his apartment.

Laura entered the elevator and pressed the 7th floor where her unit was. She finally arrived at her apartment. It was such a relief, she really missed the time to enjoy her solitude. It was really fun being with James because she was cared for and pampered all the time, but as an independent woman who had lived alone for many years it felt so free and healthy for her peace of mind.

Laura found her apartment unit very clean because the cleaning service cleaned it every day. Looks like she just needs to tidy up her groceries and toileteries from the supermarket yesterday and put them in the kitchen and bathroom. She had cooked vegetables and other ingredients while she was at James's apartment. Maybe she will order dinner via Gofood.

Now she's going to take a shower in the afternoon. Laura soaked in warm water in the bathtube and observed the kissmark on her chest which was still very clearly visible. She remembered what happened yesterday afternoon. Laura also felt confused when she thought about her recent relationship with James.

James can sometimes be so demanding and irrational, must always get what he wants. Even though in terms of age, of course Laura is more mature in thinking and acting, but she has to give in to James more often. In fact, sometimes her body completely betrayed her, how her body loved every touch of James and couldn't resist it.

Meanwhile James was already in his own apartment. He felt a bit missing Laura. He knew that their daily interactions had made him so comfortable around Laura. James decided to swim to distract himself.

There is a swimming pool for apartment residents located on the rooftop of the building, one floor above the apartment unit. He walked into the room and looked for his swim trunks in the wardrobe.

The sunset view from the rooftop apartment is really beautiful. The sky is purple with orange streaks of sunlight that will set in the west. There was the faint sound of the road noise below.

James was apparently the only person swimming that afternoon, perhaps because it was too late at almost 6 pm. The lights around the pool have started to turn on.

James swam the breaststroke from end to end about 100 meters 5 times in a row without stopping until he finally felt tired and leaned against the wall by the pool while catching his breath.

James was annoyed with himself, why lately he could only think about Laura Laura Laura. Is the feeling of love so intoxicating and like an addiction? James was afraid that his strong feelings would hurt Laura because he honestly felt that Laura was right, James always arranged this and that without asking her first.

The air is getting colder as well as the water in the pool, James got out of the pool and dried his body with a towel provided by the building manager. He put on his cotton shirt again and walked back to his apartment unit.

Arriving at his apartment unit, James immediately took a shower in the shower and then got dressed. James sat down at his desk and started checking his schedule for next week as he usually does.

James is a very neat and scheduled person, he does not like to do impulsive activities without a plan. It was only recently, after he started dating Laura, that things got so sudden.

There is an ACC review schedule for the 4th semester children's practicum report tomorrow afternoon after the Veterinary Public Health class and the selected course on Health Management and Dairy Farming.

According to her, Laura had to leave at 16.00 so she could arrive at the airport before the scheduled departure at 18.00. Hopefully tomorrow he can finish his ACC review on time, a maximum of 15.30 he should have gone to pick up Laura at her apartment.

James doubted whether he should contact Laura or not because it had only been 2 hours since they had separated. Has he missed her? He so adored Laura's beautiful body, always felt hungry for it, sedated by Laura's scent which was like a blend of calming chamomile green tea scents. He gave up and chose the video call feature.

Laura was enjoying her dinner alone at the pantry table when suddenly her cell phone rang. Ahh video call from James. She smiled and answered the call.

"Hello Baby Boy!" Laura said with a smile.

James caught her smile and answered. "Hi my beautiful Honey. What are you doing there?"

"It's dinner, Dear. Have you eaten yet?" Laura replied.

"Not yet. Maybe soon... What's on the menu tonight?" said James casually.

"Kungpao chicken rice and capcay vegetables. It's delicious, this is my favorite restaurant since I was in college." Laura answered while scooping her food.

"What's the name of the restaurant?" James asked.

"Tio Ciu Mr. Aming," replied Laura.

"Oh, okay, I'll try to order dinner at the restaurant too. Well, then you just eat first, Honey. Bye," said James.

"Bye Babe." Laura replied then hung up the call.

James ordered dinner through the GoFood application at the restaurant Laura said earlier, then waited for the order to arrive. He wanted to try the seafood noddle this time and add 1 serving of white rice.

The night was getting late, James was still reading the lecture material for tomorrow morning while leaning on the bed. He seemed to be getting sleepy and put his lecture material into his backpack and lay down on the spring bed. The clock on the wall shows 23:15.

James felt something uncomfortable and restless tossing and turning in his sleeping position. Usually there was Laura by his side to cuddle. Tonight they had to sleep in a different place. James couldn't imagine being separated for about 4 days or maybe more from Laura.

He also sent a WA message to Laura's number. "My Honey are you sleeping?"

5 minutes passed without a reply.

"Dear?" type James again.

10 minutes have passed still not read the message.

James got out of bed and walked over to the wardrobe. He grabbed a pair of clothes for tomorrow's class and put them in his backpack. Then he took his car keys and went down to the basement.

The streets were deserted, only a few vehicles were still on the road. James headed straight to the basement of the Royal Heritage and chose an empty spot to park his white Fortuner. Then he walked towards the elevator, pressed the number 7 button.

The elevator went up immediately to the 7th floor of the building and beeped. Ting.

James got out of the elevator and stood at the door of unit 7002. He entered the pass code 888910 and the door opened. It's easy to think. James entered Laura's apartment and headed straight for the bedroom.

James opened the bedroom door and walked in slowly. He put his backpack under the nightstand. Then lay down next to Laura who was fast asleep, not even aware that James was there. It's really just sleeping like the dead, James thought. It wasn't fair, Laura could sleep so soundly while James was restless and couldn't sleep.

James still looked at his lover's beautiful face while lying on his side resting on his hands. James also realized that Laura was wearing lingerie while sleeping. He pouted and wanted to protest because when she was in his apartment, Laura always wore a cotton t-shirt and shorts. That's so unfair! James loved seeing Laura's skin as smooth and white as porcelain.

James then smiled seeing the kissmark on Laura's chest that he made yesterday, it made his feelings warm. Ahh it's almost past midnight, he should sleep because tomorrow will be very busy since morning.

James lay on his side and hugged Laura's body from the side. Laura's scent really calmed his mind and made James fall fast asleep.

Laura felt a warm and heavy feeling hit her body. She slowly opened her eyes and found her baby boy sleeping next to her. Hmmmm. Turns out he still can't learn to sleep on his own.

I don't know how long James has been here, Laura thought.

Obviously Laura started sleeping at ten last night. Laura lay facing James and caressed his handsome face. His nose was so sharp she thought. James's face is so artistic, Laura really likes it.

James was used to sleeping shirtless, Laura could see those perfectly sculpted muscles and caress them for a while, she was afraid that James would wake up.
