~LEONA~
" You don't have to say things you're not ready to say but yes, I have a few questions for you, and trust me, Leona, I won't rest until you answer me. You'll have to!" He sounds determined.
" Oh really? What makes you think that am gonna tell you something? Or is it because of the sex we had that..."
" Low blow Leona! Just stop it, will you?. Stop using that against me." He growled pleadingly.
I feel for him but I can't help it. He should start staying away from me and the only way is for me to be harsh and stop entertaining him.
Today there was an attempt and I'm yet to find who was responsible. I really don't want to endanger anyone. Fighting Yolando or whoever is my job to do not some innocent people.
I'm glad he didn't fight them because I doubt he will be capable and also because I can't bear to see someone putting their hand on him.
"You started having these guts the first time we kissed and now that we've gone overboard with everything, you think you have the right to start asking questions?. Stay in your limits, Mr. Anosova. And mind your business!"
" What... what the actual fuck Leona! If I asked something, it's because I care about you. I just want to know you..."
" You already know me, Dave. What else do you want to know?"
" You haven't allowed me to know you the way I want to. Why are you being so difficult? It's frustrating and at the same time confusing. I feel like you're a mystery I need to to unravel!"
" There's no need to worry your head, Dave. Now let's get going."
He sighed then before I knew it, he had joined me at the back. His hands cupped my face and he raised it such that I was looking directly into his eyeballs.
I gulped.
His lips moved to mine and connected but I pulled back instantly.
"You have a fiancée," I whispered.
He scoffed. "I didn't intend on doing it anyway. Your mouth stinks."
"What ?"
He rose back to the front. " You think you're the only one who can hurt someone?"
Oh, so he said that because I reminded him of his fiancée?
"You've been drinking. I should have known better and not try to talk to you." He said and drove off from where we stopped.
" Huh?"
" You're drunk. I never knew you drink." He whispered.
" I took a few drinks but I am not drunk. " I defended but I felt bad. He just saw one of my bad sides.
" Then answer my question."
"What question?" I asked
"Were you a virgin?"
My heart skipped a beat as the words left his mouth. I leaned on the window and looked outside. I knew this was bound to happen. How do I answer him without explaining everything from scratch?
"Why are you not saying anything? Has the cat got your tongue?"
What else does he want to know anyway? If I wasn't a virgin then he wouldn't have seen that blood. Why's he questioning the obvious?
"Are you listening to yourself? How can a mother be a virgin? Stop being ridiculous."
" Then what was that I saw on the bed. I'm not blind, Leona."
I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply before letting the words tumble out of my mouth.
"You're quite thick and long and you weren't gentle so it's possible" I felt shy and blood rushed to my cheeks.
I haven't said those things before and besides, I've never seen his manhood. I only felt it.
He stayed silent for some time and it made me uncomfortable.
"So...so.. you didn't like it? You didn't... feel anything?" He stuttered in a low tone.
" I didn't." I lied.
" But you told me that you liked it." He said.
"That was only to make you feel good."
"What? How could you? You could've told me that I was hurting you and I would've stopped. You shouldn't have lied." His voice was remorseful as he made a turn.
" I'm sorry." He breathed.
There was no doubt that he was feeling bad. I wish I could see his face now. I wish I could take my words back.
I could see from the back how he was gripping onto the steer so tight and how his knuckles suddenly turn white. His jaw was clenched so tight, I could see the veins.
"Dave I .."
"I know Leo, I'm so sorry. I feel terrible right now. How could I have done that? I am so sorry. I'm sorry for everything." He said with eyes focused on the road. He was driving so fast.
"Stop being bitter Dave. It wasn't that bad." I hope it lessens the guilt I've built in him.
" But you didn't like it."
"Well.."
"It's okay. I already know that you'll say."
" Since when have you turned a mind reader?"I rolled my eyes.
He pulled over in front of a building that looked like a penthouse.
"This is not my home. Why did you bring me here instead of home?"
" You can leave tomorrow." He stepped down and opened my door.
I refused to come out. " I have to go. Raymond is waiting for me."
"I already told him that you'll be coming tomorrow and he's okay." He answered.
As if Raymond knowing that we're together isn't enough. He had to tell him that I won't be spending the night home.
"Did you forget that I am a mother?"
"Raymond is doing fine."
"It's not his duty and I can't burden him all the time."
"What's your shit? He didn't mind."
I eyed him angrily. " Where are my things?"
He nodded towards the bag.
"I mean the file."
" Which file?"
" The one you said should be given to me. I placed it in the car and you told me to go home and work on it."
He placed his hands on his hips and stared at me. Confused. "What are you saying? I never asked anyone to give you anything."
"What? You're not kidding me are you?"
" No, I have no idea what you're talking about, and besides those papers in the file are all blank. I wonder why you'll keep that with you."
" Really?" I was puzzled.
" Yeah."
" You should ask your secretary then. She was the one who told me."
" Alright, I will but let get in first."
I nodded.
" Are you alright?" He asked when he saw how I was walking with difficulty.
I shook my head. He picked me up in his arms and walked to the elevator. I wanted to get down but he refused.
I didn't see the floor he pressed but after a minute, it dinged and ushered us into a well-furnished room.
When he placed me on the couch, he immediately bends and examined my feet.
"What happened? Your feet have swollen."
"I sprained it," I answered.
He took in a sharp breath then without warning, he twisted it a way, earning a loud cry from me.
"Sorry." He muttered. "Wait here. I'll be back." He said and disappeared into another room.
I looked at my swollen leg and whimpered. It hurt too much.
He came back after some minutes. "Can you stand?"
"I'll try." I tried to do so but I couldn't keep my weight on it.
"I'm sorry." He said again before lifting me off the ground into his arms.
He walked into a bedroom which was ten times larger than mine.
"Change. I'll be in the other room. Call me if you're done." He said after he made me sit on the bed.
I nodded and he left. I wonder why he was distancing himself from me now. I wish that he stayed.
After pulling my dress off my head, I found a towel on the bed and wrapped it around my body.
"Dave," I called and he appeared instantly.
I realized he was trying not to look at me as he came near.
He picked me up and opened an en-suite which led to the bathroom.
He has already prepared my bath, filled with a lot of bubbles and he made me sit on the tub. He then wrapped my hair up.
"I'll be waiting outside , call me when you get done."
I held his hand when he was about to leave. " Please stay. "
" No, I'll be waiting just here. " He declined.
" Why? You can stay here or bath me. You've done it before so why are you pulling back now?" I can't believe I was saying this. I totally forgot Katherine.
" But I ..." He stopped and looked away when I untied the towel.
"Don't look away, Dave. Please."
"No Leona"
" Why?"
"You know how I can't control myself around you right? Please don't make it difficult for me."
"But I need you here."
" Okay fine. I'm here." He said and turned his back to me.
So he won't look at me.
I managed to get in and allowed the warm water to take over my body. It was so relaxing that I suddenly want him to join me.
"You still don't want to join?"
He shook his head.
" Then turn around and look at me, there's nothing to see." My body was buried in the water so there was really nothing to see.
He turned and I smiled when my eyes met his and down to the slight bulge between his legs.
He runs his hand through his hair then walked out. "Just call me when you're done."
I chuckled and felt warm inside knowing that he was trying so hard to control himself around me.
I didn't know how long I spent inside until I heard a soft knock. "Are you sleeping?"
I must've stayed too long.
"Nope." I got out and dried myself. The pain in my ankle has dulled including the numbness but the swell was still there.
"You can come," I said and he walked in.
"Can you walk a little now?"
I shook my head. "It still hurt a lottttt," I stressed and raised my arms for him to carry me as a child does.
I'm enjoying this so much even though it's wrong.
He carried me back to the bed and gave me a clean shirt and yoga pants.
"Don't go anywhere, Dave. Don't try to be a coward. You told me you aren't ." I dared him before he could think of leaving again. I got my towel off then put the shirt and the pants on. He stayed but not with his eyes.
"You can look now," He came to me and pressed me down onto the bed by my shoulders with his hands.
When I sat, he took my feet then rested it in his palm. He then got up and came back with ice. "It will help to reduce the swell." He said and placed it on my feet. He did that close to 20 minutes then he got up again and came back with a compression wrap. He took it from its packaging, unrolled it then wrapped it in a spiral on my ankle. When he was done, he made me lay then he raised my feet towards and above my heart for another 30 minutes I guess.
"Is this what is called rice something something?" I asked and he chuckled.
" Yeah, the r.i.c.e treatment." He took my hand and helped me up. " Let's walk to the dinning."
When I stepped my foot on the floor, the pain was mild and I could walk without support. "Thanks." I smiled and placed my hand in his as we walked out. The pain hasn't depreciated completely so I was still limping but it was okay compared to how I felt earlier.
When we got to the table there was so much food so I just ate whatever I could lay my hand on. I remember taking broccoli then potato cheese and beef. And even burrito.
I never knew I was that hungry.
After the meal, he went to shower and I took that moment to text Raymond. I told him that I am alright and that I am sorry.
He quickly texted back requesting to hear my voice to know if it was truly me.
I called him and he expressed his relief. "Thank God, Leona. I almost went mad."
"Even after what Dave said to you?"
" Yeah, I don't really trust him you know." My eyes went to the perfectly built man who just came from the bathroom with just a towel wrapped loosely around his waist, leaving his prominent v-line to show. While his wet hair kept dropping water on his shoulders and torso.
He looks delicious and I couldn't look away. His muscles contract as he searches for something to wear in the walk-in closet.
"Now that I've heard your voice, I'm okay." I heard Raymond say. I wasn't paying attention anymore.
" Talk to you later Ray. Got to attend to something." I said and hung up.
I had no control over my brain anymore. My hormones have started thinking for me. I got out of the bed and walked towards him. I hugged him from behind when I got to him.
"What are you doing?" He asked with his hands holding onto the closet handle. I passed under the little space created by his hands and hugged him properly from the front. "I'm hugging you," I replied then his arms came around me.
I moved my hands on his back then sucked on one of his nipples which were close to my mouth. He gasped and groaned quietly.
"I need to put something on."
"Then?" I asked.
"We'll sleep" he answered.
"That's all?" I was disappointed.
"Yes, is there anything else?"
I shook my head.
I regret saying those words to him earlier. I think that is why he's restraining . I miss my old Dave. He is boring now. I hugged him tightly again.
"What do you want, Leo?" He asked in a hoarse voice that sent waves down my spine.
I raised my head from his chest and on my tippy toes, I tried to kiss him but damn he was so tall.
"Please. Kiss me."
He looked down at me then planted his lips against mine. My body ignites as I thread my hands in his hair when he deepened the kiss. I moaned feverishly as his hands moved slowly on my back then slipped under my shirt. My skin burn where he touched and I can't help how my stomach flutters.
He lifts me up slowly then placed me on the bed. When the kiss broke, he leans back. "You know we can't do this." He got up.
"Why? Is it because of Kathie?"
" Hell No. He got back onto the bed "I just don't want to hurt you and you're not feeling well."
" I am fine and you'll not hurt me."
" But I did earlier. I don't want to again."
" You didn't hurt me!" I blurted.
" But the blood..." I placed my finger on his lips to silence him.
" It came because I was what you thought."
"What? What are you saying?"
" You're the only one Dave. The pain was meant to happen."
" Tell me the truth." He hovered above me and stared deep into my eyes. " Were you?"
I nodded and looked away.
"H..how..how?"
"Please save me all the questions for later." My hands moved to his neck drawing him to me then kissed him.
He kissed me back immediately. I let go of his neck then snaked my hand to his waist, untying the towel.
I raised my waist a little against it and felt electricity shoot inside my body once his shaft touched my core through my yoga pants. He was incredibly hard. So hard and turned on. And somehow my soreness down there disappeared.
So much for someone who vowed to stay away from him.
