Strange Matters of The Heart

Laura opened her eyes and remembered the previous night's events. She felt hands around her. "Morning, Corey." Laura said smiling and turned around to kiss his lips. "Morning, Laura." Jan said with a grin, as she gasped and then woke up in her bed, with who she hoped was Corey.. *What a dream!* Laura thought. *he's my friend, I don't love him!* "Corey?" she asked prodded the body next to her.

What she thought was a body, she didn't feel. She gasped. Laura was all alone in her house. Where was Corey? Was he preparing breakfast? She got out of her bed and draped a bathrobe around her and went to the kitchen, peeking into it to see if Corey was there. But he wasn't there either... ***

Corey was walking back whistling a tune as he had bought some breakfast for himself and Laura. Just the way she wanted it: croissants and some coffee. As he wanted to turn the corner and go into the street, someone kicked him hard in his back. Corey turned around in shock.

The thug grinned. "Getting breakfast for your girl? How sweet! Who's to say she isn't fucking someone else right this moment. Can you imagine another man's cock inside that tight pussy of your girlfriend? Or her lips taking that man's cock in her mouth and sucking..." Corey had slammed into the wall, his fingers not holding the bag with croissants and coffee anymore. He whirled around. "You bastard!" He yelled. "She wouldn't do that to me!" Corey shouted as he tried to kick the thug in the face with his right leg.... but the thug grabbed his foot and yanked his leg to the ground.

*I like him, but I don't love him. He's my best friend... right? I could never think of Jan as my lover.* Laura thought and shuddered at the thought. She'd hurt Corey immensely if she ever caved and would allow herself to be embraced by Jan's arms like that.

Corey clenched his teeth, it didn't hurt at first but it began to hurt more and more. He willed himself to ignore the pain as he caught the thug in his chest, giving him a hard shove back and managed to punch him again. The thug doubled over in pain, and two of his crew emerged from the nearby alley. They pulled their swiss knives to his throat and pinned him to the wall. "Be careful, Cor or your girlfriend is going to find you sliced and diced!"

Laura decided to first take a shower, and then she would try and call Corey. She walked to the bathroom and watched as the water fell down in the shower, when a flash of someone moaning under the shower as she was taken by another person assaulted her mind. *Vandervoort, stop it! SNAP out of it!* Laura thought as she slipped her bathrobe off and stepped into the shower, beginning to lather and rinse herself with soap and wash her hair.

The first guy stood up, having recovered as the two held him for him, Corey was struggling. "Yes, you don't want your girlfriend to find your cock sliced off somewhere in the alley, do you Cor?" Corey laughed, he didn't have the guts to do that... and spit onto the thug's mask. "You don't even have the guts to show your faces, what makes you think that you'll do that?"

Then Corey screamed as knives cut into his clothes and connected with skin, the thugs grazed his shoulder and Corey was shoved into a wall. Leaving him there with a bloody forehead and a wounded shoulder.

Laura had closed her eyes and felt the the sponge trail down her body... when her eyes snapped open and heard a scream! "COREY!" She yelled and got out of the shower, she tried to get her clothes on as fast as she could, if only she was like Supergirl, then she would have supersped into her clothes much quicker.

Laura ran downstairs and opened the door, her eyes darting everywhere to locate her boyfriend. Corey had sank to the floor, much to the approval of the three men. Then one got knocked down. "HOW DARE YOU DOING THIS TO MY BOYFRIEND?" She shrieked at them, clawing at him, tearing his mask off. She didn't recognize him, felt the others try and pull her off. "Careful guys." Chase said to them. "Oops You hurt my boyfriend but keep yourself in check when it's me?" she fired his way.

He leaned against Laura and kissed her hard on her lips. "We can be rough if you want to, Laura Vandervoort." She kissed him again, but then bit his lips hard! "YOU BITCH!" Chase yelled, balling his fist and wanted to hit Laura, punch her face, but she pulled her face away and hit Ryan instead. Laura headbutted the third one named Luke. They both fell to the ground, nursing two bloody noses.

Laura was let go and yanked Chase against the wall. "This is going to hurt much more than it does me." Laura said and kicks him hard in the shins. He crumpled into a heap to the ground. Laura pulled out her cellphone and called an ambulance. She told them the street address and then moved the other three to another alley. She returned to Corey's side. "Baby, are you alright?“ „My shoulder ..." Corey moaned and Laura was touching the wound on his forehead softly, making him wince from the pain. "I need to get you outta here. She took him and helped him to his feet. - "What the hell did they want from you?“ Laura asked - "I don't know“ - Corey answered, lying . She brought a first-aid kit and placed a band-aid on Corey's forehead while kissing him.

"It's Corey, Jan. Some thugs stabbed him for no reason!" Laura said to him. Jan's eyes shot up and he was instantly moving to get his coat. "I'm coming right away." Jan told Laura as the sound of an ambulance came closer. "Jan, go to the hospital. I'll meet you there, okay?" Laura told him. "Sure thing."

Corey was placed on a stretcher and carted off into the ambulance. Laura went with them to the hospital as Jan exited his apartment and drove over to the hospital.

 

Corey has been transported to the emergency room and Laura followed him while he was getting examined. They took care of the wound on his forehead and he became a sling to wear for his shoulder then he had to take off his clothes and Laura helped him into a gawn"Baby you look kinda cute in that" she said to him hoping to comfort him a little with that.

"Thanks honey." Corey said with a wry grin.

Meanwhile... on the way to the hospital... Jan changed directions and went to the Starbucks, and got 3 croissants and 3 coffees, thinking it best to do that for his friends... not knowing Corey had done the same thing.

He arrived at the hospital and was told in which room his friend was in. Just as he walked in with the bag, he saw Laura and Corey kiss. "Sorry, I didn't mean to intrude." Jan said.

"Buddy, nonsense! You can never intrude! What's that in the bag?" Corey asked pointing to the bag. "Oh, I figured I'd get you something for breakfast... y'know, coffee and croissants?"

Corey smiled, even if he wanted not to. "Nice idea, man. Thanks." "Hey, I'm just looking out for my friends." Jan said as he each got them a croissant and a cup of coffee, just the way they liked it. "Laura, what happened?"

Corey looked at Laura and winked, as if to say 'play along with me'. "Today marked our 4 year anniversary of being together, so I thought I'd get a present for Laura and when I was walking home whistling a tune I got attacked by three thugs. When I came to, I had three deep bleeding wounds in my body... and the gift that I had bought was gone," Corey told Jan, he didn't want him to know he had done the same thing Jan had just done.

"My God! That's horrible! I'm glad you're okay, well considering your injuries that nead to heal." Jan said to him. "Are you alright, Laura?" Jan asked as he placed an arm on her shoulder. She didn't meet his eyes when he asked her, she just sipped her latte and ate her croissant. She wanted to wince at his touch, but she didn't. "I was worried about Corey. I woke up and he was gone. I didn't know where he was." Laura told Jan.

Laura slipped his hand off her shoulder by moving her shoulder. She knew he was just being comfortive, but did he have the same feelings for her? Thoughts about her? She didn't know, and she would blush scarlet if she discovered that he wouldn't feel the same for her. Thinking he was third wheel, he took his croissant and latte to eat it outside. "I'll be back in an hour, okay?" Corey and Laura both nodded and watched him leave. The moment he was out of the room, Laura's head snapped to look at Corey, she didn't mean to do it in such a fierce motion, but she did it nonetheless. "So... your reaction of having bought the same thing you had for little old me?" Laura asked with a grin.

Corey shrugged. "I know he meant well, but I feel like I waisted money on something." Corey then was kissed by Laura, her hands carefully wrapped around him. Corey eagerly returned her kiss, loving her lips on his. Laura pulled away and once again asked her question. "Do you have any idea who could harm you?" She asked him, her clear blue eyes setting on him.

"I don't know who could hurt me. But those guys meant business. I think you're also in danger, Baby." Corey said. "I mean, look what they did to me, they certainly know their fighting stuff." Corey told Laura as she listened, an inkling in her thoughts that he wasn't sharing the whole truth with her.

"I'm worried they'll hurt you too, Laura." Corey said to her as she reached up and hugged him. "Honey, I can protect myself. And I have Jan." she said to her boyfriend. "Yeah, but he doesn't have knowledge about martial arts." Corey said to him.

The exact moment Jan came back in. "I bought some coffee from the vending machine." Jan said as he handed Laura a cup. "Thanks, buddy." Corey said as he accepted the cup. *He's the only one that can know,* Corey thought when Jan came inside the hospital room again.

"Thanks, Jan, you're always so caring." Laura said and softly kissed his cheek. Laura slowly blushed and saw the look Corey gave them... but Jan didn't. His cheek had flared up at the contact, what he had always wanted Laura to do. "Don't mention it, Laura. I only want the best for you two. You're my best friends." Jan said as all three took a sip from their coffee.

"Jan, can you bring me home?" Laura asked him as she watched him throw the three empty cups in the waste basket. *He's so muscular...* Laura thought, but shook her head. *Snap out of it will you?* She added to her thoughts. She couldn't understand why this was happening to her. "Sounds good, Laura, just wait up a few, okay?" Laura nodded and kissed Corey on his lips. "Be safe and don't go hitting on any nurses!" Laura said with a smirk before she left to go downstairs with the elevator.

Jan turned to Corey. "Okay, she's gone now." Jan said, ignoring their kiss. Watching lovers kiss made his blood boil, he wanted someone to be with like that, but he sure as hell didn't want to hurt Corey... or did he? "What's the real reason some thugs got you admitted to the hospital?" Jan asked him.

Corey's eyes shot to his, a desperate emotion embedded within them. "Please don't tell Laura, I need your promise that what I am about to tell you, won't leave this room." Jan nodded at his friend. "I... had this audition for an upcoming movie, when a couple of stalkers came up to me and said that I needed to cheat on Laura with the female director.... if... if I didn't, they would hurt Laura." Jan listened to Corey's words, seeing the anger mixed with the sadness in his friend's eyes. Jan shook his head. "You NEVER should have auditioned for that movie! Was it the role that attracted you to go try out? If you didn't do that, you wouldn't be here right now!"

"What do you think I thought at first? Yeah, let's cheat on Laura." Corey said, tears brimming in his eyes. "Of course not! Acting is my life, I can take all the money I can get! At first I thought they weren't serious, but then they showed me pictures of her, that she was being watched! Then I knew I had to do it! I don't see myself as a saint you know!? People make mistakes, we're not perfect! Nobody's perfect! You're not perfect either! I would do anything to protect her!! Imagine, you like one of your best friend's girlfriends, want her for yourself, would you seduce her?" Corey asked him.

Jan bit his bottom lip. Damn it, he made a VERY good point. "You're right, Cor," Jan said, admitting defeat. "I'll be back in a bit, okay? I'll drop off Laura at your house and..." "NO!" Corey shouted, interrupting his friend. "Please, let her stay at your place. I don't want to think about what would happen to her if she's alone in our house."

"Can't you switch your position as janitor for tonight? Please Jan, do it for me. I wouldn't be able to live with Theo fact if she got hurt when she was all alone in our house."

"Wait a minute. When did we decide that?" Laura asked as she gasped. So close to Jan? Who KNEW what would happen?? "Corey did. He doesn't want you to be alone right now." Jan said to Laura as he opened the doors of his car and watched Laura get inside, put her seatbelt on at the same moment as Jan did. Laura sighed as she tapped her fingers in front of her. *Will I be able to keep myself in check?* She thought as she sighed. "Fine. What's for dinner tonight?"

"Well, let's get you some pineapples first." Laura's eyes shot up. She absolutely LOVED pineapples! "Thanks, Jan," Laura said as she heard a familiar song on the radio. She checked the display and realized that they weren't listening to the radio, they were listening to a CD... One Republic. "You don't have to do this, you know?" Laura told him while he was driving. "What do you mean, Laura?" "THIS!" She gestured with her hand to the CD player. "One Republic, making me pineapples! I know what you're doing!" She told him. Jan slowly glanced her way and shook his head. "Okay, maybe I was with the pineapples, but One Republic is my favorite band too."

Yes, he wanted her, yes, he wanted to kiss her, but he didn't want to do it in the car. Jan sighed as the light turned green again and drove on, not stealing a glance at Laura. Corey hadn't been honest with Laura, and Jan himself wanted Laura. Talk about a rock and a hard place! "I may have some drumsticks in the fridge that I can heat up." Jan said as they reached his house. "Thanks, Jan," Laura said and took off her seatbelt, waiting till Jan had done the same and leaned in to hug him, not knowing what the movement caused Jan to feel. Her arms were wrapped around him, her face against his chest, but never her lips on his. "Laura, we should get inside." Jan said softly. 

"Right." Laura said softly as she gently, slowly pulled away, biting her bottom lip. Jan was asking for it, she just couldn't help it. With everything that he had done for her and Corey.

Jan and Laura got out of the car and Jan slung his arm around Laura, taking her up to his front door. His mind assaulted him with pushing Laura against the door, as he pressed himself against her, his lips on hers, kissing her hard, his hand digging through his pants pockets for the key. But in reality, he scooped the key from his pockets without making his thoughts a reality. He shook his head. *Damn it, I got it bad.* Jan thought.

Jan continued to clean the floor with a mop, when he suddenly heard it. "NO, please, don't do it, stay away from her, no no no!" Jan looked at the sign of the person's name in that room and the mop clattered to the floor. It was Corey's! He ran into the room, careful not to slip from the cleaned floor.

"Corey, are you alright?" Jan asked as he stood by his buddy's bedside. "JAN, they were touching her, playing with her, then when they decided they had enough, they did the same thing to me but then to Laura!" Corey exclaimed, in shock. Jan froze, remembering the way he had pushed Laura on the bed, the way his cock had hardened in his pants, how it had ached to be inside Laura's center, but she had to push away and tell him it was all wrong... they couldn't do this. "Where is she? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER? YOU LEFT HER! I TOLD YOU TO STAY WITH HER!" Corey yelled at him. Jan reached to Corey's side and held him. "Corey, calm down. The alarm system is installed and she's in my guest room, asleep." Jan told Corey.

It was really that far from the truth, LAURA was in Jan's guest room, giving herself pleasure to drown out Jan's touch on her body, true, a shower would have probably sufficed too, but she had chosen this strategy. She cried out when she reached her orgasm, courtesy of her own fingers. "Corey, I'm so sorry..." she whispered as she cried. How could she let it go this far?

Corey started yelling in hysterics. "Let me go! I need to see her! Make sure she's alright!" Jan pushed him down. "Corey, calm down, she's fine! You had a nighmare!" "NO Laura! I WONT let her go! I Can't let her go! I love her!" Jan pushed the call button and a nurse came with a syringe and placed the syringe into Corey's arm and pressed the liquid into his system. Corey relaxed and his head went back on the pillow.

A couple of hours later, Jan is done with his nightshift, and drives home, still dressed in the workclothes. His thoughts stray to Laura as he walks to his car and begins to drive away from the hospital. :Apologize: "Yeah, it's too late to apologize, well, we didn't really have sex, I didn't stick it inside her, so it isn't really that late to apologize, right? -I loved you with the fire red, now it's turning blue-." Jan sang softly. He always loved singing with them, not that he sang good, nor bad, little in between in his opinion. Jan parked his car as he arrived home, wasn't even quiet for Laura as he came inside.... did he have alcohol?

Laura wasn't fully asleep yet, she had heard Jan come home. She lay in the guest room's bed and wondered about Corey, their fight running through her mind. She heard Jan open the bathroom door since it was on the same floor, everything was situated so close. Jan stripped down his clothes as he remembered Laura's words thrown at him. **Go find a girlfriend of your own!** Jan didn't cave as the he let the water engulf him, neither heard the sound of his heart breaking, since how many people actually had felt their heart breaking at rejection? 

Her mind's thoughts changed to herself moving from the bed and to the direction of his bathroom. She saw it all in her mind's eye as she opened the door, and crept toward the only light of the bathroom, the shower. How her hands wrapped around him and kissed his neck. How he made love to her. "Dammit!" Laura shouted and punched the wall in frustration, actually tearing off some piece of skin from her fingers. It bled, but she didn't care.

Jan rinsed the shampoo out of his hair as he didn't think about Laura. Not this time, neither about Corey, his friend who he had seen get a syringe plunged into his arm to calm him down. Jan sighed. They lived in a crazy world.

Jan got out of the shower, watching the water go down the drain as he put a towel around himself. All his clothes were dirty, so he put them in the dirty hamper. He tied the towel around his body and was about to check on Laura when he stood before the door of the guest room, mulling over the idea, when the door opened. Laura walked out and made her way over to the bathroom to take care of a personal thing when she slammed into Jan. "Geez! Give me a heartattack why don't you?!" Laura asked, and felt her heart thumping in her chest as she saw him only wrapped in a towel.

"Laura, I'm... LAURA! What happened to your hand?" Jan asked her. "Uh," Laura started, biting her bottom lip. **Think of something!!!** she thought.

"I did some boxing, and I accidentally slammed my hand against the wall. HEY!" Laura said as he took her by her other hand and took her to the kitchen where he kept an first aid kit. "Jan, I'm fine, really. This has happened before." Laura said as she looked at him. **God, look at his spine and shoulders...** Laura thought as she felt herself wanting, Corey or Jan, Jan or Corey, it was like the Wheel of Love was spinning, the only places the pin could land on either Corey or Jan...

"Still, let me at least do this for you, Laura." Jan said as he got some jodium. "This'll sting a bit." Jan said as Laura rolled her eyes. "Duh, I know, Jan." but she stayed strong, and Jan then wrapped some gauze around her hand.

Jan checked in to work the next day, and see how Corey was doing. "COREY! NO!" Jan said as he saw him try to get out of bed and knocked over the glass, a glass fragment flying into his finger. Corey winced. Jan came closer. "You clumsy, Sevier." Jan said and held his hand. "HOLD STILL!" Jan ordered him, as he grabbed a pincet and pulled it out. Corey yelled out, ever since his mess with Laura he wasn't the strong guy anymore.

Jan began to apply some jodium on a piece of cotton and dabbed it on Corey's finger. "This'll sting a little." Jan said. "Yeah, thanks for the warning, buddy." Corey said, rolling his eyes, it came too late, but he was used to it, what happened when someone got a cut, that is. „By the way, Laura cut herself,too while doing exercises..“.

„She did, well actually she's not working out anymore...“ Corey replied

Jan was confused. "She doesn't?" Corey shook his head. "Big nope."

Then he wrapped the gauze around Corey's finger.

Jan's at home again, coming home pretty beat. He feels like a Vampire that only works at night, not alive during the day, oh yeah, he breathes air and he walks and does several in the daylight, but still. Jan checked up on Laura, who was sleeping peacefully. He remembers their bodies one-on-one, her lips touching hers, and then she pulling away from him. He closes the door slowly and walked toward his bed. He'd take a shower later today. Maybe check up on his friend, who couldn't stop begging him to talk to Laura and try and bring them back together, to the point of hysteria until he needed a nurse to come in and sedate him.

Laura awakes the next morning, and hears the rushing of a shower. For a minute she thinks she's at her own place, but then she remembers everything; what she almost and had done with Jan, what she had done to her body after Jan had left. It's a good thing Jan had put clothes in the bathroom to get changed there right after he stepped out of the shower. His chest was the only thing that was still exposed. He's not even jumpy when he notices she's in the bathroom with him. "He's asking for you. He wants to talk to you." Jan said, glancing briefly at Laura, then she watches him put the rest of his clothes on, conceal those hard abs with fabric. "Okay," she said to him. "but after I shower." Laura says as Jan turned to look at her again. He doesn't move, just keeps looking at her, as if he wants her to take nightgown off in front of him. "Jan, please." Laura says, looking into his eyes. Jan nodded. "Sure, Laura," Jan said as he moved out of the bathroom to prepare breakfast... or is it lunch already? Laura sighs as she takes her nightgown off and steps under the hot shower, burning her skin with the water.

Meanwhile, Ashlynn visits Corey. "Good morning, Mr. Sevier, and how are we feeling today?" Corey turned to look at the hot nurse. "Like someone stuck a syringe inside me to make me shut up, you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?" Corey asked her with a smirk. "Yeah... well..." Ashlynn started, "Save it, I know Jan only did it to help me prevent getting hysterical." Corey said. "Well, you pretty much were hysterical." Ashlynn nodded.

Jan doesn't know what to do. He's made sandwiches and displayed the many foods they can choose from: cheese, eggs, filet american, should he wait for Laura or just dig in?

But he doesn't have to wait long, Laura walks into the kitchen, all dressed. She goes straight for the seat, being beckoned by the glass of jus d'orange waiting for her. Jan quietly sits down and starts eating. Laura ate a couple of sandwiches, not looking at him. "Laura, I'm sorry, I just..." Laura placed a hand on his. "Don't apologize. I know it happened, and it shouldn't happen again." Laura said as she looked into his eyes. *Then why did my body welcome his touch? Why did I want him to continue?* She thought. Jan nodded. "Okay, we should go to the hospital."

Ashlynn then walked away from them as the two entered Corey's hospital room. "Hey you guys!" Corey exclaimed. 

He silently gave Jan a 'thank you' expression on his face, which spoke volumes. "I'm going to give you some time, okay?" Jan asked them. "Sure, buddy, and hey, thanks about last night." Corey said. "Don't mention it." Jan said as he walked away. Laura turned into Corey's direction and sat down on the hospital bed. "Thanks for what? What happened last night, Cor? And your finger?" she said while she noticed his bandage.

"What the HELL, Corey Daniel Sevier?! Don't play games with me! I KNOW you were getting seduced by that blonde skank of a nurse!" Laura yelled at him. "Laura, babe..." Corey said as he reached for her, but she blocks him. "Don't be like that!" Corey yells back at her. "You're lying to me, Corey, there's something you won't tell me!" Laura yelled back at him.

Corey bit his bottom lip, staring at her. "You could always read me like an open book. Yes, I have lied to you." Corey told her. "About what, tell me!" Laura demanded.

"These guys came to me... with pictures of us. They said if I didn't do what they wanted, they would do something to you. Something awful." Corey let Laura know. "They wanted me to sleep with the female director, who was the girlfriend of one of those thugs that put me here."

"YOU CHEATED ON ME?!" Laura yelled at him, in complete shock. "Baby, I did it because if I refused they would hurt you!" Corey called out, watching as Laura began to get up. He reached for her, but she moved her hand away. "Don't TOUCH me!" Hearing that from his girlfriend's lips, made Corey Daniel Sevier snap. His hand acted immediately. He slapped her hard across her face.

Laura couldn't believe her boyfriend had slapped her! Her cheating boyfriend.! "A real boyfriend would have let me walk out of here without using his girlfriend as a punching bag!" Laura said, as tears came to her eyes. "I hate you! I hate what you did to me!" She yelled at him. "You wanted a second chance? Forget it!" Laura said and ran out of the hospital room, going straight for Jan.

He reached for his hair and started pulling it. "Crap, fuck, fuck, fuck! Dammit!" Corey cursed out loud, almost digging his nails into his face. Why did he slap her? Because she wanted to know the truth? He shook his head.

Laura found Jan in the cafetaria. Jan saw the look of emotion on her face. "Laura, what's wrong?" Jan asked her. "Jan, he slapped me! He lied to me!" Laura said as she reached for him and began to sob in her friend's arms. "And I saw him with that blonde nurse, that skank!"

Hatred flared inside him. How dare he do that to her? Yes, he KNOWS the real truth. He wanted to hurt his best friend for slapping Laura like that. Slap some SENSE into him, that doing something like that to your girlfriend just wasn't something you did.

Corey's now finally out of the hospital, his hand in a sling. 2 Weeks have passed, of being cooped up in that hospital bed. He finally got to hear from Jan that Laura was willing to maybe give him another chance. He probably figured that his best friend and Laura had been spending a lot of time together, but we'll see how it goes tonight. Corey walked inside the bar and saw Laura sitting there. Just that moment Jan walked inside as well, bumping Corey. "Hey, Cor, well, good luck, huh?" Jan said to his friend. **Why I keep helping him is beyond me...** Jan thought. "Thanks buddy." Corey said and walked toward her. "Hey, Laura." Corey said to his girlfriend as he sat down next to her.

"How have you been?" Corey asked her. She glanced at Jan who was at the bar, his back to them as he ordered a drink. Then after Corey's question did she look at him again. "I've been okay. Been spending a lot of time with Jan. Corey, please..." Laura said, placing her hand between his lips and her cheek, the cheek he had slapped her.

She gently pushed his lips away from her cheek. Laura didn't want him to kiss her there, not even if it had been the one cheek she had received his slap with. "Listen Laura, I'm really sorry for what I did, but it was necessary, those guys would have hurt you, I slept with her to protect you from those guys that put me in the hospital for 2 weeks!" Corey said to her. "How's that nurse doing, Corey? Are you still seeing her?" Laura shot back at him. "Spare me your apologies, please!" Corey shook his head. "I am not seeing her, for what its worth, I only kissed her that one time."

"I love you, baby, I can't stop thinking about you, the bed is so empty without you." Laura pushed his hand off. "DON'T. TOUCH. ME." She fumed. "You still think you did the right thing? Why didn't you tell me I was going to get hurt, Corey? WE could have found a way to get out of that mess BEFORE you got into the hospital!" Laura yelled, attracting attention.

"I'm sorry that you had to find the truth that way...." "God, please Corey, please stop!" Laura said, tears sparkling, threatening to fall out of her eyes. "But the truth is.." "I DONT'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" Laura yelled at him, not caring if people were watching them. She knew Jan was sipping his drink and watching them, though. The tears seemed to have an immediate effect, although not the DESIRED effect that Laura wanted, Corey began to have tears of his own stream down. "Oh My God, you're crying now?!"

"I don't love you, Corey. I can't take you back. What you did to me still hurts, even if you wanted to protect me, it's over, Corey, I'm sorry." Laura said as he stood up, but Corey grabbed her arm.

"Corey, I SAID DON'T TOUCH ME!" Laura exclaimed, gasping when she felt him pull her closer by the touch of a breast. "Corey, PLEASE STOP!" she felt him kiss her on her cheek, then her lips... unwantedly. Unrequested.

In her mind she had wanted him to do that the very first time their relationship was on the rocks, but this was the third time they gave it one last chance to make it work, but it wasn't going to work this time. Laura stamped her foot down on Corey's which made him yelp in pain and then he was pushed back into the table. Laura ran toward the bar and wrapped her arms around Jan.

 

"LAURA, why do you do this to me!" Corey shrieked, mixed with sobs. "Another chance that pops like a balloon right into your face, Cor." Jan said as he held a sobbing Laura in his arms. "Seduction isn't the key to a woman's heart, as you've just witnessed." Jan told Corey as he caressed Laura's hair.

 

Laura was sick of fighting her feelings, so she moved her head up and kissed Jan full on his lips in front of Corey. Corey watched his ex-girlfriend kiss his best friend. Jan returned the kiss, his arms wrapped around her, holding her. All was drowned out, the sounds of the music playing, it was just them. There was nothing he could do. All he did was sobbing silently in the corner of the bar, as one's feelings for the girl died and the other guy's feelings for the girl intensified, tongues used to deepen the kiss.

 

Jan held Laura in his arms as he walked toward his bedroom, he left the door open and placed Laura on his bed, and felt himself harden the moment he took his hands away from her, watching what she was doing, her hands taking off her clothes, totally nude in front of him. Jan eagerly began to undo the rest of his clothes and was soon as naked as Laura was. Jan kissed her lips deeply.

 

Laura grinned seductively at him as she pulled him to the bed with her. "Laura... do you want to do it...." "safe?" Laura whispered as she kissed his chest. "I want you, Jan, without it..." Laura whispered as she rolled over so she was on top, her kisses trailing over his stomach, catching her prize in her hands as she stroked him. "Ohhh Laura..." Jan moaned out.

The moment he felt her mouth around his cock, he said it. "Laura, I love you!" Laura didn't stop sucking him, focusing on givimg him pleasure as she was a bit pre-occupied to tell him that she loved him too.

 

When she felt him almost get an orgasm, she pulled away and pulled Jan up by his back. "Touch me, Jan, please." she whispered, her eyes reflected in his with equal lust. Jan began to kiss her body, when Laura pulled his hand to her pussy, feeling his fingers caress her there. Laura moaned his name. "I love you too, Jan." Laura told him as they both kissed, his other hand wrapped around her, as she pushed herself against his fingers. In a surge of passion Laura took his fingers out of her pussy and pressed her body against his hard cock, blushing as she whispered what she wanted him to do in his ear. "Fuck me, Jan." She cried out his name as he felt him slide inside her.

 

Jan gently moved in and out of her, his hands wrapped around her back, their tongues starting a rhythm based on his thrusts, french kissing eachother as they made love together. "My God, Jan!" Laura moaned through their french kisses.

 

"Oh god, Laura, I'm close." Jan moaned out, as he held her, having kissed her nipples and trailed his tongue over her breasts which made Laura moan with pleasure. "Come with me, Jan." Laura whispered kissing him deeply as two souls became one. "You were great, Laura." Jan said, kissing her cute little nose, which made Laura giggle. "So were you, Jan." Laura said, kissing his lips... and slowly whimpered when she felt him pull out. "Want to go to sleep?" Jan asked Laura as he ran his hand through her beautiful hair. "Uh-huh." Laura said smiling. Both bodies slipped under the covers, and Jan turned off the lights. Both starting to fall asleep.

 

A couple of minutes later, Laura begins to dream. She sees Corey, sitting in the darkness at their house, sobbing loudly. She wants to get closer, and place a hand on his shoulder, but her hand phases right through him. With a jolt, she's wide awake. Jan rubbed his eyes. "Laura, what's wrong?" Jan asked her. "It's Corey." Laura said. "Oh." Jan said, not expecting his name to be named this midnight.

 

"Jan I'm very thankful for your advice, but i gotta check on Corey" ..."Like i told you, Laura do what your heart is telling you!" "Thanks Jan, that is sweet." Laura said kissing him softly on the cheek. Actually Jan wanted her for himself, but he'd never do anything against her will so he let her go.

 

Laura took Jan's car and drove to their place which was only 20 min. away from where Jan lives.

while driving, Laura always had to think about the fight between her and Corey and suddenly the scene where he slapped her came up, but that didn't change anything. Laura wanted to look if Corey was ok.

She just parked the car and then entered the door, obviously she still had the key for their house. "Cor...are you here" she asked not getting any reply.

 

Laura was sneaking in the dark from room to room and finally stopped when she saw her boyfriend sitting on the ground, sobbing and calling her name, she hides behind the curtain and doesn't know how to react.

Then his eyes suddenly found her standing there. "Laura?" He asked, blinking his eyes.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with Jan?" Corey asked her as he looked at her, while deep inside his heart he was happy that she was here.

 

"Don't be like that, Corey. Please." Laura said as she tried to comfort him, but Corey's expression remained the same. "It was my fault, I was too upset about seeing you with that nurse, and then what you did to protect me. I'm sorry I yelled at you, Corey. That wasn't fair." Laura said to him as she wrapped her arms around him.

"We love one another, Corey, I'm sorry, butI want to try it with him. That doesn't mean we can't still be best friends." Laura told Corey as she tried to wipe away his tears.

 

Corey looked at her, and slowly went from a half-smile to a soft smile, and hugged her close. "Okay," he spoke hoarsely, "but promise me something, if he doesn't treat you right, you come to me and tell me about it. Okay, Laura? Because I couldn't live with the fact that he would hurt you."

"I promise!" Laura said as she kissed his cheek, then pulled away. "Will you be okay, Corey?" Laura asked him. Corey nodded. "Sure, Laura. I'll see you around." Corey said smiling, all the bad things forgotten and behind them now.

 

Laura walked out and embraced her boyfriend. "How did he take it?" Jan asked her. "He's okay with it." Laura said, kissing him softly. Jan kissed back and smiled. 'Let's go home, shall we, honey?" Jan asked Laura. "Sure," Jan said with a smile and together they left Corey's place and returned to their house.

The End.
