Till Death (A Bruno Mars Fanfiction)

Chapter 66

"Nay...." Bruno whispered early in the morning.

"Whaaatt?" she asked not turning around.

"What's wrong?" he asked her running his fingers along her waist. "You aren't sleeping...."

"I'm fine." she told him realizing he was right. No. But I'm not going to tell him. He continued to run his fingers along her back which for some reason really calmed her down. She closed her eyes feeling her body relax through his touch.

By nine in the morning Naomi had fallen deep into sleep and was not going to wake up for anything. She was stretched across the bed kicking the blankets off. Through her deep sleep Bruno went through Naomi's clothes to wash them knowing that she was going to sleep all day if she could. He had watched her do her laundry enough times to know how much soap she put in with her clothes and how many dryer sheets she used. By 11 in the morning he had thrown her pajamas in the dryer unaware of the sound that the dryer made. "Ughhhhhh." Noomi moaned hearing her dryer go off to signal it had finished drying. "Brunnoooo." she whined getting out of the bed seeing her clothes in piles and a plate of french toast on the counter. "You are too much." she said wrapping her arms around him laying her head on his shoulder. She felt him rub her back still feeling the tension in her back. What the hell is going on with her? He thought not saying anything to her.

"Let me warm up your breakfast...." he said letting go of her. "It's really good. I made it exactly like my mom does...."

"Are you going to go home before your tour starts?" she asked him sitting at her small kitchen table.

"No, I don't think so." he said tapping his fingers to the beeping of the microwave.

"I wanted to go home before everything started this summer...." she told him taking the plate from him.

"Then you should." he said sitting across from her taking a sip of orange juice.

"That's probably expired...." she said watching him drink the orange juice without any problems. "Bruno....noooo...."

He put down the glass starting to laugh at her. "I went to the store when you were asleep." he responded.

"Oh. Oh god. Okay." she laughed at him forgetting how tense she was. "This is really good."

"I know." he smiled. "But now that I'm thinking about it....I want to go home so my mom can cook for me...."

"Then go!" she exclaimed. "It's a long time..."

"Not really....it's the summer and then Vegas after and then I'm done. I'll go home for Thanksgiving." he said changing his mind.

"I'm just a baby still, I guess." she said. "I miss my parents now."

"Just because I'm not there doesn't mean I don't talk to her or anything...and you know I talk to my dad all the time..." he said.

"I know...." she responded. "It's just, I went home for Christmas. You didn't. I'm not saying it was wrong that you didn't or anything. I just know you haven't been home in so long...."

"She's coming in May, Nay. Since my sisters are here and she has the kids...I think Tahiti misses her kids a lot...."

"And you had everything to do with that, didn't you?" she smiled. "You're such a good person...."

"Yeah. I did." he shrugged.

"Hey...." she suddenly changed the subject. "I want to buy a new car while I'm here. Come with me...."

"When?" he asked. "My schedule looks so..." she grabbed his phone from him flipping through his calendar.

"I am here a week and a half. Spend some time with your girlfriend...." she said with a sad face seeing his schedule was packed. "Do I have to send you a calendar invite?" she asked. "It would just be easier if you got a damn iphone and we could share calendars...."

"Ugh. Give me my phone, Naomi." he groaned watching her continue to eat. "Let's go buy you a car today, then."

"Really?" she asked smiling with a piece of bread in her teeth.

"Yeah. But you know what you want, don't you?" he asked trying to ignore the bread.

"No idea." she told him feeling the bread on her teeth using her tongue to get it off. "Were you going to tell me about that or just let me walk around with it stuck in my teeth?"

"I was going to kiss it off, but you beat me to it." he said leaning over to kiss her.

"Oh, I'll put it back there if you want me to...." she smiled through the soft careful kiss.
