Unexpected love

How Much I Love Him

Leo

My eyes open. It's still dark out. I look over to my phone to see Jessie passed out.

I groan as I sit up. I stand up from the bed and walk over to the balcony.

As I open the door, the cool draft blows in sending me a quick shiver.

I step out and take a deep breath of the cool night air.

I lean over the rail with my forearms supporting me. I stare of at the stars.

I wonder if Jess likes the stars?

Something about the nice brings me peace. Maybe it's the silence or the darkness that comes with it, but whatever it is I hope it stays.

I have always had difficulty sleeping. Well not always but mainly after I joined this fucking mafia.

Jess has helped me along with sleeping better. But since she is only with me over a phone screen, it's been hard.

I look down to my arms to look at my tattoos. It's kind of babyish but I really want Jess to ask about them.

I really like my tattoos. They are apart of me. I want to tell her about them. Each one has a different representation of big events of my life.

Like from my first ball to my first hockey game. I used to play hockey when I wasn't trying to stop my father from beating my mother.

I lived to skate. It was the only thing that I could escape to when my father got angry.

I haven't touched a hockey stick for 3 years.

I take another sigh before standing up straight and walking back inside.

I haven't told Jessie that I have another mission tomorrow with Vanessa.

I crawl back into bed and look down at my phones screen to see Jessie writing in that book again.

"Well hi there cupcake." I smirk with a tired voice.

"Why are you up mister?" She looks at the camera and I chuckle.

"Couldn't sleep. I should've brought a pair of your pants for me to sleep with." I wink.

"Shut up." She teases.

"Whatcha writing?" I raise a brow even though I know she won't tell me.

"Nothing that concerns you." She smiled teasingly.

"Hm, we will see about that." I smirk back.

"Go to sleep." She turned back to writing.

"Why?" I whine.

"Because you deserve sleep love." Her words make me flutter.

"You do too. Why aren't you sleeping?"

"Couldn't." She replied.

"Hm. Well Jessie Rolondo. You better get some sleep." I assure her.

"Well Leo West, I don't think I will." She smiles wittingly.

I chuckle before looking at her while she writes.

"Stop staring." She warned without even looking up.

"Sorry àmore your just very pretty to look at." I smirk.

She sends me a jokingly warning glare.

"Hm I can't wait to see you my love." I smile at her.

"I can't wait either." She giggles.

"Goodnight Jess." I smiled before laying down again and allowing myself to rest.
