LEONA
"No I won't, I can't celebrate something I have no knowledge of." I got my hand from his.
I don't like how he's getting close to me and making me do and feel things I've never felt before. Not only that, he's getting too close to me. Even though his words does magic, I can't trust him.
"Alright, I won't force you." He said and walked inside.
I thought he'd leave. Why's he going in again?
"May I know how you managed to get into our house?" I asked while he sat.
" When I came I was calling your number but you wouldn't pick the call. I was leaving but then I heard Leonard crying so I had to break your door and get in."
My eyes widen towards the door.
" It wasn't a major damage and I've already repaired it."
I nodded, unable to believe how deep I slept that I couldn't hear a thing.
"He was already out here when I came, probably looking for Raymond since you were fast asleep. He calmed down when he saw me. I thought he must be hungry so I took his milk from the fridge, warmed it, and fed it to him. After that, we went to play."
" Okay, but why did you come? I mean don't you have work to do in the office? " I hope I didn't sound rude.
" I have work but I just have to come."
" I don't like it when you're being nice, it's kinda awkward," I admitted and smiled but I wish I hadn't.
Just a smile and..
He got up and took slow steps towards me.
" I don't like fighting with you but since you've requested it, I don't mind... "
" Hey, I didn't request anything. " I said and took a step back.
" Seems like that to me." He smirked and with some swift steps, he was facing me.
He traced his finger on my jawline repeatedly then tilted my chin up. Simple as that gesture was but enough to make all the butterflies go wild.
He raked his eyes on my face then down to my chest then he leaned in and pecked my lips. He moved to my neck and began nibbling on it, giving me soft bites.
My breathing hitched as my chest began to rise and fall.
"I like the way your body reacts to my touch Leona." He took my hand and placed it on his waist then stepped closer.
Without warning, he began to kiss me. I tried to resist but it was a lost cause. I opened up and kissed him back with almost the same fervor as his. My hands gradually made themself comfortable on his masculine waist.
He hoisted me from the ground and my legs wrapped automatically around his waist as my hands found way to his neck.
My skirt has now folded into a heap on my waist leaving my thighs bare.
The kiss got fiercer when his palms grabbed each of my ass and gave me a squeeze.
I gasped and moaned into his mouth when I felt something growing from beneath, then it began to rub my pelvis.
My legs tightened around his waist and tapped his butt, suddenly I felt that hard thing pressed against my opening he jerked then withdrew from the kiss.
"What. are. you. doing to me Leo?" He asked huskily as he tried to catch his breath.
I don't know what he's doing to me either. I've never done these things before.
I shook my head. I don't know what I was doing but all I know is that It felt good so good.
He walked to the double couch with my legs still wrapped around his waist. Once he sat, I felt the bulge in his jeans pressed on my core through my panty.
I yelped and sat up as my eyes moved to his front. I raised my gaze to look at him but instantly looked somewhere else. He looked so aroused.
"I think you should leave," I muttered and got up reluctantly.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Someone has to stop else, I don't know.
He didn't utter any word as he got up, straightened his shirt, and began to walk out without even looking at me.
Is that the best way he could do it? I crossed my arms and stared disappointedly.
All of a sudden, he turned. "Make sure you don't miss me too much."
Once the door shut close, I began to wish he didn't go.
I resisted the abominable urge to rush after him but when I heard his car pull out of the driveway, I knew he was really gone.
Why must he leave because I told him to anyway? He should've at least proved a little stubborn.
"Ahhh" Now I would have to sit home alone and sulk until Raymond returns.
I walked to my bedroom and had my bath then ate breakfast. It wasn't long before Leonard woke so I fed him then bathed him. I gave him his medicines even though he looked absolutely fine.
He sat on me as I read a novel I found in Raymond's study.
Raymond didn't come back early as he promised.
I started feeling bored with the book so I threw it somewhere and started playing with Leonard but the latter just kept yawning then before I knew it, he was dozing.
I tucked him to bed then picked my phone from the dresser.
Mr. Anosova was right, he called me in the morning. I recognized the number to have been the one which called me at the hospital.
I sat in the sitting room and thought of calling him but stopped.
I tried to sleep but none came.
I began to think of the first kiss we had and what we did today. I brushed my fingertips on my lips and imagined him kissing me.
Just then, my phone beeped. It was a message from the same unsaved number. It reads,
💌*Are you missing me?*💌
An involuntary smile spread on my face.
Of course, I'm missing him but maybe it's because Raymond is not here so I won't reply to him.
My phone beeped again.
💌*Say something.* 💌 it reads.
I won't reply to him, he has to pay for leaving me.
He sent another message again.
💌*Fine, don't reply to me. I would be traveling this evening and that was why I wanted to spend some time with you but you refused so good-bye.*💌
What? He's traveling?
I quickly dialed his number but it went straight to voicemail.
Fuck him! I feel he did this intentionally and I regret telling him to leave.
I wonder what we would've been doing now if he stayed.
Raymond arrived later in the evening when Leonard and I were fast asleep.
I wondered what kept him so long.
The next day, Raymond took us to church, reminding me of our childhood days.
My mum was a devoted Christian who always makes sure that we don't miss church on Sundays.
After the church, we went grocery shopping then bought new clothes for Leonard.
We spent the rest of the day at the beach and it was so much fun though I still couldn't stop checking my phone.
"I like how long your hair is." Raymond compliments me at the beach.
" Yes but I'm thinking of cutting it. It's too long."
" Yeah, I also think so." He supported me.
I like the way Raymond tries to make time for us despite his busy schedules.
The next day was Monday and Raymond told me to stay at home and go to work on Tuesday. He said Leonard wasn't completely strong yet so I stayed another awful day at home.
It was really boring and I tried to call him but it was unreachable. I gave up and prayed that Tuesday comes quickly.
I couldn't sleep that night because I kept thinking of ways to scold him for pulling that stunt on me.
At 4 am, I was already up and preparing for work. I went through my wardrobe and searched for something nice to wear. When I finally settled for a dress, it was already 5 am.
I rushed to the kitchen and prepared breakfast.
Raymond was surprised that I woke up so early.
After eating, I bathed Leonard and dressed him up.
I took time to curl my long hair such that it ended just at my lower back.
But I still took my wig along, just maybe.
I dressed up but put a lot of effort into it.
Raymond dropped me at 7 am and I quickly walked to my office.
I've been absent for three days now so there was so much work for me to do but even that, I kept checking my door hoping that Dave will come.
During lunch, I went to his office but he wasn't there.
I mustered courage and asked his secretary and she told me that he went on a business trip and won't come back until next week.
I almost cried.
How could he?
Well, if this is how he wants to do it then fine. Why the hell should I even be bothered? It's not like I knew him or he's someone dear to my heart.
The days flew by slowly and somehow I got used to his absence.
Luciana and I became a bit close and sometimes she joins our car when Raymond came to pick me.
Just as anybody would, she was surprised to know that I birthed Leonard. They see me as a small girl.
After chatting over our lunch for a long time, we parted ways and I got back to my office.
It's nice having someone to talk to as a friend and I miss Rhoda so much. I heard her family sent her out of the country after what happened to me.
Immediately I sat down, the adjoined door burst open.
My heart thumped loudly as I turned to look at the person.
It was none other than Mr. Dave Anosova of course.
Our eyes locked but I quickly looked away and concentrated on my work.
My heart felt like it would rip out of my chest at each step he took towards me.
"LEONA"
I ignored him.
He can't just leave anytime he wants and expects me to jump into his arms when he comes.
I couldn't believe I was still angry at him for leaving.
He came to close my laptop then turned the swivel chair such that I was facing him.
I looked down at my lap and got up.
He held my hand to pull me back but I snatched it away.
"Look at me, Leona. Are you not happy seeing me? And why won't you talk to me? Didn't you miss me?" He seems restless.
That was how I felt when he left. How could he? I mean who does that?
No call, no texting.
I turned my back to him and crossed my arms over my chest.
"Fine, Iam leaving."
I heard his footsteps heading towards the door.
" I'm leaving, Leona and this time, I don't know when I'll be back."
What? He didn't just say that!
I turned my head sharply in his direction and he was about opening the door to leave.
Can I live another more week without him? I felt miserable these last few days when he was away and now..now..he wants to go again?
"You won't dare!" I shrieked and ran to him.
No. I didn't just do that.
He opened his arms wide and I fell into them then he encircled them around me in an affectionate hug.
Okay I did.
"Of course I won't." He said and continued hugging me.
Oh, how I missed this!
I don't know what this man has done to me but I like to be around him a lot. I enjoy having him around and holding me like this as if I was his. His own.
We disengaged from the hug and he looked at me.
"Now tell me, did you miss me?"
"Do you have to ask?" I breathed and hugged him again.
" Stop acting adorable, my little miss pretender."
I giggled.
" Now what do I do with you?"
" Anything," I whispered.
" Don't say anything, Leona, because there's a lot of things I'd love to do to you and you have no idea." He whispered and goosebumps formed on my skin.
"Things like?" I asked and stepped back, still close to him.
" Things like this for a start." He said then claimed my lips.
It was as if life had been breathed in me once his lips touched mine.
I feel so alive.
I groaned when he ended the kiss and he chuckled.
"Before anything, please let's take this ugly wig off." He said, pulled it off and dumped it on the floor.
I laughed as he ruffled my natural hair.
"So what will you do to me?" I asked, yearning to have him kiss me again as I stared at him. I wish I had the courage to initiate it.
He didn't say anything. Instead, his hand went to the small of my back and the other went beneath my thighs and he took me up bridal style.
My hand went around his neck as he left my office and into his.
He placed me on his large desk and propped in between my thighs. My legs wrapped around him automatically.
He groaned and kissed me as his hand ran through my hair, massaging my scalp.
He pulled back and whispered against my lips. "How I've missed this." Then he went back to kissing me.
His hands moved from my hair and rubbed my back then to my thighs which were cladded in a pair of trouser.
His hands went to my zip before he stopped kissing and looked at my face for permission.
What if someone walks in?
I looked at the door and he rolled his eyes then kissed me again before picking me up from the desk and passed through a corner in his office then entered a room.
There was a desk in the room then a bed and a large couch.
He placed me on the desk then opened my zip and removed my trouser.
I wonder the number of girls he brought here.
"Have you been..."
I couldn't help asking but he got what I wanted to ask.
"No, it's only you. I haven't brought anyone here before."
I nodded.
I wonder what I came here to do with him in the first place. I looked down at my fresh laps.
I didn't plan on having sex with him. I just missed him.
"What's wrong?" He noticed my mood.
"Nothing but I don't want to do it now," I whispered shyly.
" You don't want to do what?" He asked, staring at my face.
"Em.." I tried to say.
"Oh oo" he got what I was saying then he started laughing.
"No babe, we're not here to have sex. At least not now, not here and not like this. "
I blushed and looked away.
"I just wanted us to do this." He kissed me and carried me from the desk and sat on the couch.
He made me straddle him then he moved his hands on my thighs, igniting the fire once more while he kissed me like there's no tomorrow.
He began to remove my top and surprisingly I allowed him since he said we'll do nothing. Once he removed it, his hands moved to my breast and fondled it through the bra.
I was now in my pant and bra only and my long hair was tickling my back.
"This is not fair!" I pushed him away and he seemed surprised.
He laughed and took his suit off then began unbuttoning his shirt.
"Let me," I said and swatted his hands away. "You're too slow."
"Eager that much?" He teased and laughed. I joined in.
I've been imagining his muscles for long now and here he was taking time to free them for my eyes.
My eyes feasted on his abs and his solid broad chest once his shirt was off.
I pressed my chest against it and hugged him close, inhaling his cologne.
I don't mind getting his trousers off again. I'm okay with this.
"Are you okay now?" He asked and drew imaginary circles at my back.
"Yes, it's just like I've imagined."
He chuckled, drew me back, and kissed me slowly yet passionately.
This must be a dream because never in my life had I thought of doing such a thing with someone I'm only getting to know.
