"I couldn't just let you walk around with that hard rod bulging all day.You're enough of a damn chick magnetic without advertising your full package.These poor girls in here are about to orgasm at just the site of your ass."
He looks up in the reflection and catches them, gawking at him."Hmm.Maybe."
"There ain't no, maybe."The elevator arrives, and we exit first.He cinches my hand and leads me down the staircase.I hear the girls giggling like mad behind me.
As we cross the lobby, I notice another group of girls standing off towards Michael's.They are apparently waiting on the group behind us to join them.We stop at the front desk, and I turn to look at the girls.They all look up from their phones at the same time.The girls from the elevator walk across the big hall towards them.Several point and one is walking backwards to them, but they all are now staring at us.
When Aurei reaches over to take a set of keys off the desk with his name on them, his shirt slides up off his waist, and his tight little ass below his beautiful golden skin over his muscular straight legs flashes them.They snap a quick pic of him.I tell him as he straightens up and flips the keys into his hand."You owe me something special."
"I do?"
"Yes.I def did you a favor."I tip my head with a nod toward the pack of googling girls, and I wink at him.
He looks at them and smiles with his most beautiful smile."I have a surprise already wrapped and waiting for you back in the room."
"What?You do?"I ask, surprised.
He pulls me towards the exit doors."I do."
We pass through the door, and he turns down the sidewalk.
"Where are we going?"I ask as we walk.
"To catch a bus to the metro, then to the Colosseum.I'm going to give you The Glorious Empire Tour of Archaeological Interest.I thought you would like to start there.How does that sound?"
I jump up and down while we walk."Sounds purrfect!Why the car keys if we aren't driving?"
"They brought the car this morning so that I would have it first thing in the morning.I'll take you back and forth myself to the studio every day.Compromise is what partners do."
I fling my arms around his neck, and we almost fall."You're absofuckinglutely the sweetest man ever!"His arms grab me as we stumble, and he hugs me tight to him to steady us.He easily controls our weight once he has us centered together.
"Yes.I am!"He admits, sending me into a fit of giggles.
He laughs at me, then with me."You are so contagious."
When we arrive to board the bus, Aurei cinches my hand to lock us down tight.We board the back, and he steers us to the middle.We stand inside the small box next to a family: husband, wife, three small kids, and a baby.Oh, man!I bet they are practicing birth control by pull-out.I look closer at her face and see a sweet, sincere look there.She is content with her fate.I look down at her children.Two are girls, and they are holding hands.The other is a boy, and he is hiding behind his Mamma.I lay my head on Aurei's arm.He pulls his phone out of his pocket and reads a text.I hear a little voice say."Mamma, bella."Aurei squeezes my hand, and I look at him.He winks and nods down to the little boy.I look down to see he is still hiding behind his mother's skirt, but his big chocolate eyes are peering out and glued to me.I smile and wink at him.He pulls her skirt in front of his face and hides.
I hear Aurei chuckle, and when I lift my eyes back to his, the unspoken word jumps from him to me.Boom!It hits me squarely between my eyes, making me blink."Oh...."
He chuckles louder and brings my hand to his lips."See.It's startling the first time."
I smile and lay my head on his shoulder."Yes, it is, but I liked seeing it too."He kisses the top of my head as he starts to text.I try to see who and read it, but it's in Italian.
Suddenly the air is filled with a horrible, high-pitched scream that curls the blood.Aurei and I cringe at the same time.The sound is piercing in the small enclosure.The baby is screaming!
I look at Aurei to see his eyes squinted in pain as he tries to concentrate on his phone.I lean over and say in his ear."Shall we sing?"
He looks at me with a grumpy fuck frown."What?"
"Shall we sing?"I frown and squint my eyes at him, mocking him.
He nods."If you think it might help, please sing!"He focuses back on his phone, trying to ignore the paralyzing scream.I glance over at the couple.The mother is digging into her diaper bag as the father gently holds the little body still.The screaming baby's body is red with anger.
What do you sing to a baby?I don't know any lullabies.I've never been around kids before.None of the nursery rhymes I heard as a child come back to me.I stare as the baby starts to turn blue while the mother calmly prepares to change the diaper.She is cooing to it,but that isn't working.
I take a deep breath and start to hum loud, my go-to song.I've sung it hundreds of times to the girls in Vegas."Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera.I hope it works on babies too.I'm competing to be heard, so I let go of Aurei's hand and step in front of him to sing directly to the precious thing.He swaps his phone to his other hand and puts his arm around me, securing me as he buffers the bus movements for me.
When I hum the high notes leading up to the lyrics, the baby catches its breath and pauses, listening.I shake my head, and it stops crying to watch my hair float, then fall.I sing using Aurei's trick of changing the words.I laugh down at him as he stops crying, focusing on my voice.I smile at the father as the mother quickly and efficiently changes the diaper.I sing to the mother that his is beautiful, then I sing to the baby boy again.She finishes and smiles at him, then up to me.I hum a little more while she lifts her shirt, pulls her breast out, and puts him on it to suckle.He cuts his eyes at me one more time before he closes them, enjoying his warm ready meal.
