~Leon & Pob~ #makeittillwedrop

Pob

Seeing Leon whilst I was cradling the kitten reminded me of our first encounter.
Even though I said I didn't want to tie him to me forever, it still hurt seeing him married.
How and when did it happen?

I wish I could ask him all these but going down that path will do no one any good. So I left, smiling at him like I would at a stranger though it killed me and I left.
Praying fervently I wouldn't bump into him again.

(Days later, at Fiat's house)

I was invited for dinner at Leo & Fiat's. These lovebirds were still going strong and it was so sweet to see them as such. I  reached around 7pm, with a bottle of wine. As the door opened, I looked up hoping to see Fiat or Leo but ended up looking into Leena's eyes. "Ah shit, they were invited too" I groaned internally.

"Come in Pob. Why are you standing there? This is Leena by the way, Leon's wife" Leo stated from behind Leena and beckoned me to come in. I smiled and made my way in. Though Leena smiled at me cordially, something was just off and I could not quite place my finger on it. And something about the way Leo was also acting was abit off but I didn't want to pursue it further. I went in, smiling my hellos at Fiat who was busy in the kitchen. Leo told me to make myself home and went off with the wine to pour it into glasses for us. I made my way to the hall, where a show was playing. I briefly scanned the room for Leon but couldn't spot him anywhere.

"Looking for my husband?" Leena asked. I jumped abit, noting our close distance and just took a step back. "Hmm, was jsut wondering where he was. Unlike him to miss a dinner at Leo's".

"Well, he was supposed to come. But since I heard you were invited, I made sure he was busy at work and had to miss the dinner."

I stared at Leena, wondering what the heck was wrong with this woman. She  behaved like she knew who I was. As if she was reading my thoughts, "Did you really think I don know who you are? I make it a point to do a background check on people around me, professional and other wise. What more a man I was marrying? I know who you are and your history. If I were you, I would keep to myself and not go near Leon again. Do I make myself clear?" Leena snarled.

This bitch, who the heck did she think she was?! I was this close to snapping at her when Leo interrupted us with dinner being ready. I looked at him and he subtly shook his head. Fiat, who was behind him, did the exact same thing. Something was really wrong and I was going to get to the bottom of it, one way or other.

Leena barely gave the three of us any time along during dinner. She was polite enough to stay out of our conversations but made sure she was around and that made the two boys just calm up and be only superficially polite and cordial. Around 10pm, Leon came by to pick his wife up. He nodded at us politely, kissed her and went off with her. I just stared at what was happening; thoroughly confused. I wanted to stay for a while to chit chat with the boys but they hustled me home, claiming they had a long day ahead the next day.

What was wrong with this fucking picture of domestic bliss?!
