Mirrors on the Outside

Chapter 23

~Laura's POV~
I'm not exactly sure where that sudden boost of confidence came from, but I'm sure glad for it. I did it; I finally stood up to my parents. Memories and thoughts of them have been haunting me for years, but that can be over now. That part of my life is gone and I can move on with the people that truly make me happy.

Sitting here on the couch sandwiched between Jaime and Tony is the closest to feeling like I belong to a family that I've ever known. I know that in just a few hours, I'll be moving in with my best friend, across the hallway from my amazing boyfriend, and I'm extremely thankful for that. As the games go on and on, however, I start yawning. It was in fact a very long night, with the show and then my parents.

We were planning to pull an all-nighter, but I'm tired. I put my controller down and reach up to caress Jaime's cheek. "Hey, I think I'm going to go to bed, love. I'm absolutely exhausted."

He smiles and leans down, planting a quick kiss on my forehead. "I'll come with you so we can cuddle a bit before we fall asleep."

I cheer a bit. "My favorite pastime, cuddling. Especially with you." I bop his nose, standing up.

"Where are you two going?" Vic asked.

"We're going to go sleep." I said, yawning to prove my point. Mike wiggles his eyebrows and Jaime throws a pillow at him.

"Not like that, you perv!"

I laugh at their banter. "Night all!" Jaime takes my hand and we walk off to his bunk. I grab a set of pajamas that I keep there for when I sleep with him, and let him know that I'm going to the bathroom to change. He nods and states that he'll stay there.

Upon coming back, however, I find Jaime standing there, still naked. "Oh my god!" I exclaim, a blush immediately flooding my cheeks as I backed quickly from the room until running into someone.

"Whoa there, Laura. What's wrong?" Vic asked as he steadied me by the elbow.

I can't even get the words out. "I...went...back...and...he...was...oh my god."

For a moment, Vic just stands there and regards me as if I'm totally insane. But then, he starts to get it and bursts into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. "Oh my god Mike, you have to hear this." He calls, and I send him a dangerous glare that he ignores.

"What's all the ruckus about?" The younger Fuentes sibling asks, walking over to Vic, who motions for his brother to lean down so he can whisper in his ear. I stand by the side with my face in my hands, knowing that there is no way that this will end well. And I'm completely correct as Mike doubles over in a huge belly laugh.

That is, until a pair of tattooed hands smacks them both across the back of the head. "You two leave my Lala alone!" He stated in a falsely dangerous voice, but teased me as he walked by in lifting his shirt up and flashing his colorful torso.

I stood there and pouted for a moment before going back to the bunk to find Jaime sitting there, dressed this time, a large blush covering his face.

"Sorry about that." He mutters, not making eye contact with me. I lay down next to him and curl up in his arms so that we're facing each other, and pull down his chin until he's looking me in the eyes.

"It's not you, Jaim. I guess I'm still just kind of uncomfortable and scared, even though I trust and love you a lot."

"And that is perfectly okay. You know what, Laura? You are beautiful, kind, intelligent, talented, and the love of my life. That means you are most definitely worth waiting for."

I smile a bit. "And that means the world to me. But I also know you're twenty-five, and, well, that, is an important thing to you."

He shifts again so his face is almost over mine. "So does that mean you're at least getting close to being ready?" He asks without a hint of pushiness.

I nod and smile. "I am ready. Just not on the tour bus, okay? Someday soon."

Jaime's face is stoic for a minute before he breaks out into a grin and attacks me with kisses. "No one can resist this sexy body!" He exclaims while doing some sort of weird dance.

I quirk an eyebrow. "Keep that up and you'll be sleeping alone for quite some time." He drops the act immediately and settles down beside me, wrapping me even tighter in his arms.

"It was a joke. I just love you so much, and I want you to be happy." I smile at that and kiss him chastely on the lips.

"And that's all I want for you too. 'Night love." I say with a smile, pressing my back into his chest, basically cocooning to his body.

"Goodnight, my angel."
