Two Of A Kind

fourteen

Tessa's POV

He instantly tenses at what I said. I pull back to look at him and he's clenching his jaw, a different look in his eyes. 

"Leo?" I speak, breaking him from his thoughts. He looks straight at me and instantly, his eyes soften. He rubs his thumb pads on my waist in a circular motion, 

"How has he hurt you amore" He speaks softly but his jaw is still clenched. I could tell there was a need for an answer in his voice, and I trusted him enough. I took a deep breath, ready for the unknown.

"He abused me Leo" I scoffed, almost laughing at the memories. I'm just mentally fucked like that. His fists clench immediately at the word 'abuse'. He doesn't say anything else, so I proceed.

"He would grab my hair and slam me onto walls, the floor, anything really" I explain, tears threatening to fall down my face. At this point his nails are digging into his palm, creating a light bruise. I grab his fists in my hand and squeeze them tight, trying to ease his thoughts. He looks up and gazes into my eyes, I almost get lost in them.

His eyes soften and fists loosen, plopping his head onto my shoulder, taking a deep breath.

"I'm so fucking sorry amore" He sighs, sounding guilty. I run my hands through his hair,

"Don't apologise Leo, there's nothing you could've done" I whisper, keeping him close to me. He pulls away and cups my face with his huge hands.

"I could've saved you, I could've been there for you, I could've helped you, I coul-" He's cut off by my hand covering his lips. He looks at me with a small grin on his face.

"Why are you grin-" I'm stopped by a warm saliva feel on my palm. "Leo did you just lick me" I gasp in shock, moving my hand away to see. He nods his head and leans into my ear,

"I can't wait to lick more of you" He smirks devilishly. 

This boy is gonna be the death of me.

I quickly move off him and shift back into the passenger's seat, clutching my thighs together for dear life. He raises a brow, his smirk still visible.

"Did I make you nervous mi amore?" His voice laced with sarcasm. I punch his shoulder, his smirk easily changing to a pained expression.

"Shut the fuck up" I mumble, blush arising quick. I look out of the window before I get too red.

"Belissima, I know you're blushing. You don't have to hide from me, especially since I caused it" He pulls yet another smirk, starting up the car. I roll my eyes resting my chin on my palm. As he goes to reverse, he puts his hand on my head rest, shifting his body to look behind the car.

That is a weakness of mine. Butterflies fly around my stomach, while I try to hide my face.

"Look at me amore" He says strictly, I turn around and look into his eyes,

"I like seeing the effect I have on you" He grins, his focus back on the roads.

"Oh whatever, It's not you don't worry" I jokingly reply, but his jaw immediately clenches.

"Then who would I have to kill?" He caught a glimpse of me, completely shocked. My jaw gapes open, trying to comprehend what he just said, and it hell didn't sound like he was joking.

"No one I'm joking" I smile nervously, looking back in his direction. He flashes a small smile and nods his head.

"As I thought belissima" And his jaw loosens once again. I smile to myself, blushing showing on my skin again. The rest of the ride was complete silence. Not the awkward silence but the comfortable silence.

He stops the car and quickly jumps out, coming over to my side to open my door for me. I smile in appreciation and get all my belongings. 

"Let me hold it for you amore" Leo offers, taking my bag off my shoulder. I look up to him and he raises a brow.

"Piggy back ride?" I smile cheekily, knowing he'd say yes. He chuckles before bending down for me to jump on.

"As I've always said, your a loser" He repeated, memories flooding back to me. Soon enough, we reach the front door and Leo knocks. Immediate footsteps emerge from the distance. The door opens and I see Miyah.

"Leo!" She squeals and hugs him tightly. I get off Leo so he can have his moment with Miyah.

"How's my bella?"  Leo questions, picking her up. She squirms around for a few seconds before calming down.

"I'm good, how are you" She replies, leaning her head into his chest. He smiles and rubs her back gently,

"I'm good bella, and why are you still awake" He glances at his watch, the time is 10:03. She looks at Leo with a silly smile, shrugging her shoulders before she digs herself into his chest once more. He genuinely chuckles before placing a kiss on her cheek.

"I think it's your bedtime mia bella" He ushers, setting her down. She pouts before opening her arms one more time. This is too fucking cute.

Leo picks her up once more, kissing her cheek again.

"Good night mia bella" He says softly, rubbing her back. She snuggles into Leo's strong embrace,

"Good night Leo" She says sadly, kissing his cheek. He smiles in pure happiness before letting her down, watching her run upstairs.

Then Reece shows up to the front, he looks at Leo and nods his head.

"I'm Reece" He speaks up, holding out his hand to shake. Leo immediately shakes his hand,

"Leonidas" He nods back. At least we got that introduction out of the way.

Tessa he's your fucking friend not boyfriend.

Reece smiles at me before heading up to Miyahs room, probably tucking her into bed. I turn over to face Leo, seeing his arms are already open for me. I jump straight in and wrap my arms around his neck. 

I fucking love his hugs, I feel like nothing else matters in this world. He snuggles his face in the crook of my neck, causing me to giggle.

"Goodnight Leonidas" I mumble into his chest. He pulls back before smiling,

"Goodnight mi amore" He says as he takes a step back. 

"And don't call me by my full name, I'm imagining how you're gonna say it at my house" His smile transforms into a smirk. My jaw gapes open, seeing him chuckle at my reaction. 

I know what I'll do.

"See you tomorrow, Leonidas" I yell, a smirk appearing on my face. He turns around and grins slowly.

"Yeah, In my bed?" He shouts back, entering his car.

Why am I doing this, I feel like we became closer after I shared my life with him. Even though I shouldn't, I like the feeling.
