Two Of A Kind

Tessa's POV

Oh he's so gonna get it.

I resurface to the top of the pool, seeing a laughing Leo. I've never heard him laugh before, it was so... genuine. 

"Leonidas Ford" I seethed through my teeth. He immediately stops laughing,

"Leonidas Alessio Ford" He smirks, standing by the end pool. Well at least I know his middle name now. 

I swim my little legs past Beau and Bri who are too busy sucking each others faces off. Where is Adrian and Carter?

"Can you come in now?" I ask, seeing as he looks comfortable where he is. He steps closer to me, bending down so he can lift my chin with a sly finger.

"Give me a kiss first amore" He says huskily, causing me to chuckle. I lean in and kiss him deeply, trying to get his focus on me so I can do this.

I pull Leo into the water mid-kiss, a huge splash following behind him. I laugh cheekily but I know I need to swim away and fast, so that's what I do.

I swim as far as I can to the other side of the pool, laughing hysterically. 

Suddenly, I hear loud splashes close in behind me. I turn around to see Leo right on my toes. 

Why the fuck is he such a good swimmer?

I squeal when he grabs my waist underwater, turning me around to face him. I immediately wrap my legs around his waist for some odd reason, my hands wrapped around his neck.

"You're a cheeky one, mi amore" He whispers deeply. His hands resting on my ass.

"What can I say" I bragged, shrugging my shoulders. He gazes into my eyes for a second, and I get lost in his. 

Next thing I know, we're in a deep kiss. Our lips moving in sync, running my hands through his hair. He adjusts me so that I'm not sliding off him anymore, but something's in his pocket, causing me to pull away.

"Did you not empty your pockets when I pulled you in?" I raise a brow, almost feeling bad if his phone was in there.

"My pockets are empty amore" He smirks dangerously. 

Oh fuck.

I gasp, slapping his shoulder.

"Leo!! I know I'm sexy but contain yourself you beast" I joke, grinning at him.

"You have no idea how much of a beast I can be amore" His smirks still wide on his face. I roll my eyes playfully before getting off him, sliding past his hard on.

"Don't do that to me" He observed, looking down. His deep, husky voice coming out. I chuckle at his neediness.

"I'm gonna look for Carter and Adrian, stay here" I order, climbing out of the pool. He nods and starts scanning my body again.

He could never get enough.

Walking into the house, I hear a faint tap running. I follow the noise and realise it's the bathroom I was in last. Opening the door, I see Carter and Adrian with a tub of water balloons.

"Now what is happening here" I sing, interested in their plans. They whip their heads around in worry.

"Perfect, now it's 3 on 3" Carter confirmed, looking back to the taps full on balloons.

"We're planning on starting a water balloon fight. You, me and Carter vs Bri, Beau, and Leo" Adrian explains, tying up the last water balloon.

"Oh count me in, I need to get Leo back" I smile devilishly. They both look at me and start returning the same look.

"Let's hope they're not facing us holding buckets of water balloons when we walk out" Carter said, picking up a bucket.

"Beau and Bri are sucking each others faces off and Leo was facing the other way when I left" I explained, shrugging my shoulders.

"Great, let's get to it team" Adrian picks up the last bucket and ushers me to walk out the door, followed by him then Carter. 

Right before we head outside, I peek through the door to see all of them either occupied or not facing us.

"Clear" I whispered, leading them to nod their heads and start forwarding out. We walk outside quietly and the boys put the buckets down with ease. We all pick up one water balloon,

"Ready" Carter whispers, me and Adrian start smiling and nodding our heads, prepared for the unknown. 

"3"

"2"

"1"

And with that, balloons went flying out, hitting the 3 of them every time. 

They all let out a shout, except for Bri who squeals. I chuckle at their distraught, throwing more and more balloons in their direction.

Suddenly, the boys exit the pool, copping the balloons to the face/body. They urge themselves closer to us, making me scared. I grab the rest of the balloons out of the first bucket and start running to the other side of the pool.

When I make it far away from them, I see Adrian and Carter running to me. 

Fuck, don't tell me.

Beau and Leo are with the balloons, Bri climbing out of the pool to help them. I shriek when Leo picks up a balloon, aiming it at me. 

"You shouldn't have done that amore" I heard him say as a tight smirk appears on his face. Next thing I knew, a balloon hits me on the back, the cold water splashing out. I arch my back at the feel. I take a second before I turn around,

Beau is holding the bucket and Bri is followed behind, heading towards us. But where is Leo?

Suddenly, arms wrap around my waist. 

Leo. 

I scream in fear, trying to wriggle out of his grip but its no use when he towers over me and is like 2 and a half times my weight in pure muscle. Once I realise that, I stop retaliating and keep my eyes shut instead. I feel his head lean on my shoulder, kissing it softly.

"Now what made you think you could do that" He whispers, his lips brushing over my ear. Sparks flow through my body at the touch. 

I keep quiet, not letting anything slip out of my mouth. He notices that and twirls me around by my waist.

"Answer me amore" He whispers, his hands still around my waist. I don't know what to say, so instead I change the subject.

"I'm tired" I say in a sleepy voice. Immediately, he picks me up and holds me bridal style.

"What are you doing" I say quietly, wrapping my arms around his neck. He looks at me and pecks my lips,

"Taking you home belissima"  He says softly, looking towards the group of people.

"Me and T are heading out now, y'all have fun" He nods his head at them, getting a bunch of 'byes' in return.

I rest my eyes, leaning more into his embrace.

"Amore" He announces, I shoot my eyes open and look at him,

"What do you think about moving in with me?"
