Love, Simply - Chapter 19：Let me love you!

**Warning** Mature

“There is no room in my body for anything but you. My arms love you, my ears adore you, my knees shake with blind affection,” William Goldman, The Princess Bride.

***

Alain didn’t know what to do. He didn’t want to make any choice that would hurt anybody.

“C’est quoi ton decision?” Louise asked. She didn’t want to force Alain, but there was here long enough to know how he was going to handle the situation at home. (What is your decision)?

“Je ne sais pas quoi faire,” he sighed. (I don’t know what to do).

“Alain!”

“Sienna planned to get married in two months,” he shared. “I don’t know if she’d still be willing to marry me. What about the other woman? I don’t know—”

“How would you know? You ran away after knowing that the other woman was pregnant.”

“You both were drunk. So, you go home. Explain it to your fiance and the other woman,” Cyrus proposed. “Hiding here and avoiding it is only going to make matters worse,” he continued.

“Bro, Je sais que ce n’est pas facile, mais Vous devez parler à tous les Deux. Sienna mérite une explication, et l’autre femme pourrait avoir quelque chose à dire,” Louise said, in a soft voice. (Bro, I know it isn’t easy, but you have to talk to both of them. Sienna deserves an explanation, and the other woman might have something to say). “Don’t let things get out of hands,” she tried to be persuasive.

“I’ll tell Sienna—”

“J’irai. J’irai,” Alain quickly said. (I’ll go. I’ll go).

“And?” Louise asked, staring him down. Alain immediately understood.

“I’ll book my flight and leave early tomorrow.”

“Good!” She gave him a knowing smile.

~~~

“What happened?” Cyrus was curious.

“Nothing,” Louise shrugged.

“You did something,” he whispered.

~~~

“I am leaving with Alain,” Jacques informed Louise. “I need to get back to work.”

“Mmh! What about Bertrand?”

“He’s leaving too. He has to fly to Germany next week.”

“Oh! I thought you’d stay for a few more days. I’ll visit when I have time.”

“Okay! It was nice meeting you, guys,” Cyrus said. Jacques and Bertrand nodded at him.

~~~

“You have such amazing friends?” Cyrus said to Louise.

“I have such an amazing ‘man,” Louise moved her palm and rested it against Cyrus’s cheek. “Sometimes, I ask myself, ‘Does he even know how much I love? Does he believe me?’ Do you believe me, do you trust me?” She asked, starring into his eyes as if she was seeking the truth in them.

She waited for him to respond.

“I do!” He kissed her hand. “I do!”

“Sometimes, I ask myself, ‘What does this woman see in me? How can she bore her way into my life like this, bothering me so much that I can’t spend a day without thinking about her? Does she even know what she’s doing to me?”

Louise gave a soft laugh and her usual grin. “What am I doing to you?” She poked the tip of his nose.

“I didn’t know someone could make falling in love feels so damn ‘amazing. You’ re—no, I am insanely and madly in love with you day by day, and I can’t help falling in love each day that I see you.”

“If one day—”

Louise hushed him, she reached out to him, taking Cyrus into her arms. “I love you,” she whispered.

“I know. I know,” Cyrus answered.

~~~

“I know you love Jamaican coffee, so I bought some for you,” Kate said, attempting to bribe Louise into keeping Willa for few more days.

“What else did you bring?” Louise asked, authoritatively crossing her legs. Kate laughed awkwardly. She waved her hand, “What do you want?”

“Can you keep your god-daughter for a few more days?” Kate smiled politely.

“Yes.”

“Really!” She shouted in joy. “Oh! You are an angel. Baby, I love you.”

“I hope I have twins,” Louise randomly said.

“Huh!”

“No reason,” She smirked.

~~~

“Darling!” Louise cried.

“What is it, Loulou?”

“Don’t I dote on my best friend too much?”

“No! She’s your cousin-in-law to be,” Cyrus said without a thought, not knowing that behind those words held so much importance and value.

Louise went silent. “Loulou, cherie!” He switched the phone to his left ear. “Darling!”

“Huh, yeah!” She shook it off.

“I’ll pick you up,” Cyrus informed. “I know your house is heavily secured and all, but I’d feel unrest leaving you and Willa there alone.”

“Okay—your mom,” Louise yelled. “Not yet.”

“She’s visiting her family,” he chuckled. “Wait for me, okay. I love you.”

“I love you.”

~~~

“Hi, Marie,” Louise greeted.

“Miss, it’s been a while,” Marie smiled.

“You live here?”

“I do. Let me take Willa,” she offered. “It’s nice seeing you again.”

“You too.”

“Do you—”

“Hey, you’re here,” Tara’ jogged down the stairs, seeing Louise, her tiny frame, hugging her. “I haven’t seen you.”

“Tar!” Tyler tried to hold his sister back, but he was seconds too late.

“Let her!” Tim mouthed.

“Me too. Well, I’ve subscribed to your channel,” Louise smiled brightly.

“I know,” Tara laughed. “Your name’s so peculiar.”

“It’s a fact, right?” Louise whispered. “Hey, guys!” She turned to the twins.

“Hi!” They said together. Tim and Tyler liked Louise, but they didn’t want to get close to her in case she decided to leave their brother.

~~~

“I like your kids,” Louise jumped forward to kiss Cyrus cheek.

“Do you want me to become addicted?” Cyrus asked in a serious yet calmed voice.

“To what?” Louise asked unsurely, “What are you talking about?”

“Your kiss—”

She smiled.

“That was the plan,” she grinned.

“I can’t win against you,” he flicked her forehead lightly. “I am going to shower.”

“Mmh!”

~~~

“Darling, I am going to—” Louise stopped midway, seeing Cyrus bare body in front of her. Water dripped down from his hair to his chest, down to his stomach. ‘Oh Seigneur, don’t let me be a sinner today,’ Louise gulped.

‘Those abs! How can he be so fit?’ She unconsciously marched forward, running a hand down—

“Halt!” Cyrus stepped backward. “What are you doing?”

“Sorry, they look so good. You look yummy. How can I resist this?” Louise groaned.

“Don’t make me forget how—”

“Forget what?” Louise ran a hand down his abs, slowly loosened the towel around his waist.

“Stop, please!” Cyrus pushed Louise against the wall. “Stop!”

“I want sex!” Louise blurted.

“What?” Cyrus sighed deeply. How could he forget who he was dating? “Loulou!”

“I want to have sex. We both want it. Did I say something wrong?” She asked innocently.

“How can you—”

“Stop talking!” Louise aggressively captured his lips, sliding a hand down to stroke his Heimlich. She gave it a little rub then gently squeeze it.

“I am losing my patience!”

~~~

Cyrus pulled away from the kiss, staring at her.

They stared at each other.

He stared so intensely that she began to feel her face burning.

Was the AC not on? Louise thought

Cyrus slowly moved his arm around her and, pulling them to the bed, before she could act, she was sitting on his lap.

His arms were securely around her waist, holding Louise in place. “Extinguish the fire you started!” Cyrus told her.

He brushed his thumb over her lips, and she felt m her body shiver.

What was that feeling?

Softly and gently. Then, Cyrus slowly slipped his tongue inside her mouth. The kiss was tender, yet, demanding.

Louise couldn’t think. She wanted all of him. His body to be closer to cool down the burning desires.

Her hands were on his hair, pulling him to be nearer.

They were kissing—like crazy. Cyrus’s hands were everywhere, but Louise didn’t mind.

It didn’t matter.

Louise inhaled his shaving cream, loving the way he smelled. She pushed Cyrus down, pinning his hands above his head.

Cyrus gave her a questioning look. “Let me!” He watched her go down, taking his penis and put it in her mouth.

“Loulou!” He tried to stop her, but she pushed him down. Her tongue felt hot and soft around him. Cyrus could tell by her movements that it was her first time.

His mind was in a frenzy, thinking how her gentle tongue could take him to heaven. Louise did her actions gentle, but accurately, making the man inside her moaned and groaned in pleasure. Cyrus felt himself growing big and hard inside her, as he was about to come, Louise removed herself and began to undress.

She stood in front of him naked and said, “I come with my body. And my heart.

“So do I,” Cyrus said, pulling her down.

It’s okay,” he whispered, then he was kissing her.

His hands began to touch Louise, his hands, his lips, his tongue.

He was gentle. Careful. Cyrus nibbled on her neck, startling her.

“Relax, it will be alright. I won’t hurt you.” He said, slowly penetrating her.

Louise shut her eyes as the pain hit. ‘Fuck, I can take this.’

“I am sorry,” Cyrus whispered, slowly moving.

The sharp pain she felt began to fade into something else—pleasure. “Cyrus!” Louise cried. “Cyrus!”

“Does it hurt?” He asked, loving the way Louise’s voice sounded like a melody to his ear.

“More,” she demanded. “Faster.” Louise couldn’t describe that strange sensation she felt.

Cyrus moved carefully, afraid that he’d hurt her. “Don’t hold back! Give me all of you!”

His hands kneaded her breath as he moved back and forth back and forth. Louise grabbed at him desperately, arms around his head. “Ah!” She arched her back, ready to dive in pleasure. Her body began to quiver and shudder in response to her climax.

Cyrus grabbed hold of Louise’s back, pressing her body close to his chest. He didn’t make any sound, but she felt his muscles collapsed as he pressed down on her, then he came. Louise looked at him and smiled.

He rolled down on his back, and hugged Louise, “I love you,” he kissed her cheek.

“I love you.”

~~~

“I’ll go get Willa,” Cyrus said, got out of bed, but not before planting a kiss on Louise’s lips.

“What time is it?” Louise stretched.

“Ten thirty.”

“What!”

“No one heard you,” Cyrus smiled in understanding. “You should sing more often,” he bit her ear.

“Get out!”

~~~

“Why is she sleeping?”

“You smell like me,” Cyrus commented. “She just ate.”

“I took a shower.”

“You and Willa sleep on the bed. I’ll sleep on the couch.”

“It’s big enough for us three.”

“Don’t crush little Willa.”

“I’ll crush you!”

~~~

Willa and Louise’s laughter woke Cyrus up. Louise was sitting by the window with the little one on her lap. Willa would laugh every time she stroke her cheek. Her short chubby arms reached up to touch Louise’s face as she smiled down at Willa.

“You should call me mom. I take better care of you,” Louise said, while Willa gleefully clapped her hands.

“I agree,” Cyrus said, after watching them.

“You’re awake,” Louise smiled in ecstasy, seeing his face.

“Mmh!” He kissed her cheek. “How did you sleep?”

Louise moved to the bed. “Ah!” She screamed as she tried to sit against the headboard.

“What’s wrong?” Cyrus rushed by her side.

“Nothing. Kate came back early. She told me to leave Willa here.”

“I’ll take care of her.”

“I fed and bathed her already—”

“Brother!” The door swung open. “You bought me the makeup kit?” Tara inquired in delight.

“Tar!”

“Oh! I’ll come back.” She mouthed forgive me, immediately closing the door.

“I’ll go shower. Look after Willa.”

~~~

“Cyrus,” Mrs.Smith knocked on the door.

“Mom?”

“Well, you don’t look happy—”

“That’s not it. You’re back early. Is something wrong?”

“There’s someone here to see you.”

“Who is it?”

“Your girlfriend,” Mrs.Smith, giving her son a questioning look.

“Mom, you know who my girlfriend is,” he cried in defense.

“I didn’t meet her yet. You could have already—”

“What’s her name?”

“She didn’t say. Come down and talk to her.”

“Thanks, mom, I am coming,” he said, closing the door.

“What’s wrong?” Louise asked, coming out with a towel wrapped around her.

“Nothing! There’s someone downstairs, claiming to be my girlfriend.”

“Okay!” Louise said, putting her clothes on.

“You’re not asking—”

“I should have that much trust in you, right? Darling, it’s not like I caught you cheating.”

“How do you get home?” Cyrus asked, realizing that his mother came back unexpectedly.

“Aunt Diane is waiting for me outside.”

“My mom’s here. How do you go out?”

“The window.”

~~~

“Seriously! Do you think you’re Bruce Lee?” Cyrus asked restlessly. “Don’t do it, please!”

“Shh! I do not want your mother seeing me like this today,” Louise said, jumping out of the window. Darling!”

“Tell me, you landed safely,” he said, a hand covering his eyes.

“Yeah!” She laughed.

“Ah, don’t do that again,” he breathed out in relief. “How do you get past the gate now?”

“There’s another way out. Don’t worry. I won’t climb the wall,” she whispered. “I love you,” Louise yelled loud enough for the other neighbors to hear.

“I love you,” Cyrus yelled back. ‘You got me doing all sorts of things,’ Cyrus chuckled once Louise was out of sight.

~~~

Mina!

What was she doing—

“We’ve been dating for a while. We had a huge argument. We decided to take a break from each other. I told Cyrus I’d come to find him when I was ready.”

The nerve of this woman.

Mrs. Smith thought, then why didn’t she come to find him when his father passed away.

“Little Willa is here,” Mrs. Smith’s face lighted up, seeing her niece. “Where’s her mother?”

“She’s picking her up later,” Cyrus said.

“I’ll take her for you,” Marie said, taking Willa from him.

“Thanks, Marie!”

“Hey, Mina. What are you doing here?” Cyrus asked coldly.

“Baby, I missed you,” Mina said, walking forward to hug him. He moved aside, avoiding her.

“Mom, can you give us a second?”

“Hey, didn’t your mother die? Isn’t she the kids’ nanny?”

Cyrus wanted to pull out his belt to whip that inconsiderate woman.

Even if Mrs.Smith was the nanny, he didn’t like her tone.

“I’m going out to Gloria’s. Call me if you need something,” Mrs.Smith smiled at her son, while she glared at Mina.

~~~

“How did you know where I live?”

“Blake told me.”

“Why are you here?”

“I missed you. I was wrong for breaking up with you. Let’s get back together. You were going to propose to me. Let’s get married. I’ll never say anything—”

“Stop!” Cyrus frowned.

“Cyr?”

“Stop!”

“Baby?” Mina had never seen him this mad. He was furious.

“What do I look like to you?” He laughed bitterly. “Even when we were dating back then, you always did that. You left as you pleased and came back when you wanted.”

“I realized that I love you,” Mina said, batting her lashes.

“You love me, or the new identity? Yes, I loved you, Mina. I loved you. But you left me.”

“I am sorry.”

“No, I am sorry,” Cyrus smiled heartily, Do you know that someone has made me fall in love with her so much? If I don’t see her for a day, I miss her like crazy.”

“I can make you love me again. We dated for six years. I don’t believe that I can’t make you love me again,” Mina said, gently pulling at his shirt.

“You can’t. There’s only that woman in here. But do you love me?”

What?”

“Do you love me?”

“Cyrus—”

“You don’t love me. You’re only here because you’ve heard that my biological father left me an inheritance.”

“No, I love you. Give me a chance to prove it to you.”

“I don’t want to see you. Don’t show up in front of me again.”

“Cyrus,” Mina cried.

“Get. Out.”

“Cyr—”

“Mina!” He breathed, “I loved you. I did. Now, I am in love with a woman—I am happy—I don’t have to pretend with her. I respect you. I never blame you for what you did. You deserve your happiness. But, don’t make me forget the good memories. Even if we’re not together anymore, there was a time that we were happy.”

“Don’t do this. Please!”

“Walk the guest out, anyone,” Cyrus said, going back upstairs, leaving Mina out there.
