Love, Alexander

Chapter 28

Alexander

"Right. You have a new boyfriend" I said, avoiding his gaze. "What?" He asked as if he didn't know what I was talking about. "Isa told me" I said, not wanting to tell him that I saw him the other day flirting with another guy.

He seemed to hesitate a bit. So he really have moved on already. "We've been dating for a month now" Leo stated. The words cut through my soul, a part of me collapsing.

He started laughing out loud after moments of silence. "I was just kidding!" He continued laughing, tears forming in his eyes. Confusion clouded me as I sat up. "He's my friend" Leo wheezed, trying to catch his breath. Cute but not funny, Liandro.

"You were flirting with him the other day" I stated, hesitant if I should continue. "I saw you" I added. He looked at me with a raised brow as if he was asking me to continue.

"You looked happy with him" I admitted, earning a huff from him. He smiled while looking at me with those beautiful eyes. "I am" He said. "He's just my friend, don't worry" The last words caught my attention.

Don't worry? Was he taking my feelings into consideration when he said that? Did he think that I'd be jealous of that stranger that's why he said that?

"His name is Blake" He informed and for whatever reason, I didn't want him to hang around with him.

"Do you trust him?" I asked, concerned about his safety. "Yeah. He's kinda cute" He replied, the words making furrow my eyebrows. "He's a tourist, I met him on Grindr"

"What the fuck Leo?" I stood up from the bench and stared at him with disbelief, my hands on my hip. He laughed again. When will he be serious?

"That was a joke. Calm down" He tried to sit me down, knowing what could happen if he pushed my limits.

The night went on as we made our way back to the penthouse. After saying our goodbyes, Leo and his father left the penthouse.

"Hey, Alex" Leo spoke through the other end of the phone. God his voice is so sexy. "Hey" I answered back. "Can I come over? I have something I want to show you" Leo spoke as if he was trying to seduce me. Though we were just 'friends' it still felt like we were in love—because I still was.

The words that fell out of his mouth succeeded on turning me on. "Okay" I answered. It's been months since I last touched myself. I'd get hard every time just by thinking about him, and now he's coming over.

After spending boring nights in my new place, something exciting was finally about to happen. There had only been a few people come over—maids and the people that delivered furniture.

I didn't expect anything to happen later, but I was kinda hoping he meant something by saying 'I have something to show you'. It'll only be harder to move on if ever we did something. I fixed the place just in time before the door bell rang. It was our first time to meet again since my birthday.

I hesitated to let him in, knowing that my feelings will just flow out of me. I've been crying myself every night to sleep, thinking what could've been if I stayed. What would've happened if we didn't give up on each other. Months of depression because of our situation, and now here he was. The man that caused me pain, pleasure, and happiness.

I opened the door, my hearting beat like crazy. My first instinct was to hug him. But I knew that wasn't necessary, especially now that he looked so happy while I looked like a mess. "Hey" I breathed. His smile was so contagious. I guess our breakup benefited him the most.

My eyes lit up at the sight. He looked more beautiful than ever, all I wanted to do was to give him my heart—again. I could sense his joy from seeing me. "You look tired" He took a step forward. His aura radiating different emotions—happiness and concern.
