It Leads me to You

Chapter 12

You couldn't help but laugh at the skeleton in front of you, he had taken you out for coffee to a nice cafe in town, but now he was just being stupid.

Stupid and sweet.

He was currently seated in front of you in your booth fanning his face, red tears leaking down his cheeks, tongue out and wiggled in discomfort.

He had just had a Carolina Pepper, tears leaking from his eyes, tongue swollen from the heat and even seemed to pulse. You tried to calm you laughs as you poured him some milk and slid him the mug which he chugged down instantly, only to make you pour more and complain that the milk was not helping.

You pour till the jug was empty and you had to order another, and another. Till you were 5 jugs in and he finally calmed down enough to pant against the table.

"Why'd I let ya tal'me into eatin that shit!?" He pants causing you to roll your eyes with a giggle.

"Cause you said you could handle anything. You obviously can't Mister. The Skeleton." You snark cleaning off some milk spills he had made as he chugged the liquid.

"I am getting you back, Treasure. Don't think I won't." He warns resting his chin on the table to look at you, you hear the bell ring above the cafe door but make no means to turn to see who it was. You just stare at the skeleton before you with a raised brow.

"Oh? And what would my punishment be?~" You coo playfully.

"I'm working on it... my brain is fried at the moment."

This caused you to giggle once more "You don't have one."

"Don't make me hurt you." He warns playfully, just as you were about to retort someone plops down in the booth with you. "I swear if I work the street one more time Imma cry a fucking river and send all ya fuckers sailing."

You knew that voice. "Leon, I swear if you keep swearing, Imma hit you, and get you running." You warn with out hesitation, the man gasps and looks at you in shock "Baby you're talking again!?" He squeals in delight hugging you tight.

"It has been to long since you talked baby!" He claims as you groan.

Leon was a friend to Andy, he was dating Andys' sister, he had the skin of black coffee, and a curly fro, light muscle tone, unless he hugged you, you couldn't tell he taps his chest, he was a drama queen in all honesty.

"I am meeting Drew and Claira here in a few, can they join you!?" He pulls you away to look you over, completely oblivious to the monster in front of you.

"O-Oh I'm not sure I-I sorta...." You trail off as G throws an arm over your shoulder and pull you to him, he had scooted over to you the moment Leon joined the booth.

"It's fine doll, they can join." He shrugs, the fact he was part of your affair was suppose to be under the radar, but he just blew that out of the water.

"Oh! Hello!" Leon greets him "(Y/N), who's this gorgeous monster?" He looks at you with a raised brow.

"Name's G sweetness. Nice ta meet ya." He holds out his hand, which Leon takes and shakes "Hello, I'm Leon. Friend to this one, though I am more like a father." He waves his other hand. "Now, you two on a date?" He wiggles a brow only for you to sputter in fear.

"N-No! Just hanging. He is my neighbor. I-I was showing him around town, y-yeah! He's new so I was giving him a tour!" You stutter.

[Yep that is my lie and I am sticking to it]

"Aww what a shame," He pouts. "He would have been perfect to cheat on with." He sighs and rests his elbow on the table, chin in palm.

"Oh?" It was Gs' turn to raise a brow "Why do you want her to cheat on her beloved husband?"

Leon looks him over then hums "I just don't... like that fact they are together." He waves again. G leans forward a bit more in thought looking him over then sitting back with a smirk. "Ya know he hits'er, don'cha?" You stiffen at the thought.

Leon had been friends long before you came into Andys' life, they had gone to the same middle and high school then caught back up after college.

"Oh so you know?" His tone was a bit cold at the fact.

You shutter, shame coils around you at the fact he knew, how long has he known?

"I've known for years. I was drunk the first night he ever laid his hands on her, course I didn't know what it was at first till the next morning, but I knew once I came to what I heard." Leon lays his arm over the back of the booth watching the windows for the others.

"And you did nothing because?" G asked, a bit of annoyance in his tone.

"Can't help if they don't want it." You knew that was a jab at you and you shrunk in on yourself a bit at that.

It wasn't that you didn't want help... you just felt it would be a waste. At the time, G didn't want you. He had made that very clear when he up and left the town, and Andy.. he was there when you were on you own not sure what to do. Freshly rejected by your mate, Andy was there for you.

You felt he was all you had, and you had o cling to him and do everything to keep him.

The two talked as you kept to your sulking.

The cafe bell rings once more and Leon sits up and waves. "Claira, Drew! Over here you two cuties!" He waves as the other two walk over.

You sank into your booth seat more. You were not looking forward to these two, you loved them.

But you felt they might not like what you are doing to Andy.

You would have to wait and see.
