A Cut To Love

Chapter 30

SAVANAH

It's been 2 weeks since the kiss between me and Leo and everything is going the way I have never dreamt of. Awesome.

I am an attending cardio surgeon now, work is pretty hectic which doesn't give me much time to spend with Leo. But he understands it.

He sometimes sleeps at my house waiting for me when I come late at night from work. He has been nothing but patient with me through these weeks.

We now have kissed multiple times, and each time it is electrifying for me. We have not put labels on what we are, and I don't intend to ask him to do it because I may sound like a clingy person.

Maybe he doesn't want to give it right now and I don't wanna slip the good thing away from me. I don't want him to be mad at me and lose the friendship that we had.

But from the past few weeks, I have been thinking a lot about it, Leo behaves so differently he cooks for me when I am late, he sometimes comes to meet me during my breaks at the hospital and he even cuddles with me when we sleep together.

I mean I don't mind this behaviour but it confuses me sometimes, but Jul told me that Connor and she made it official after a month of getting to know each other.

So it will take time, and I can wait for it, I don't want him to rush and regret it afterwards.

Right now I am meeting everybody including Leo at the lunch, the lunch was organised by Elyse as she feels like it's been a long 2 weeks since we all hung out together.

It's more like a 'you have to attend this lunch at any cost' kind of lunch.

It's the last week of February and the wind is quite chilly, I could see everyone sitting around in a booth from outside the window.

I entered the Italian restaurant and got a very sharp glare from the receptionist because I was wearing a black high neck, with black high waistline jeans and a long nude overcoat unlike people wearing expensive dresses

Before she would throw me out of the restaurant, Leo made his way to me. I looked at him walking toward me, he is a fine piece of man. Sometimes makes me wonder what he saw in me.

"Hey, gorgeous," Leo said while giving me a long passionate kiss on the lips which made me stand on my tiptoes for a little longer than usual. I could hear the receptionist muttering something.

Leo released from the kiss, he looked perfect in contrast to me I could hear my rapid breathing and I am damm sure my cheeks are flushed red with a little swollen lip.

"Hi." I shyly said looking into his eyes directly. "We all have been waiting for you," Leo said while breaking the trance which made me realise the rest four idiots were looking at us and smirking.

They all are gonna tease me, especially Jul. God have mercy on me and my poor soul.

We both made our way to the table, Leo as always gentlemen pulled my chair to let me sit down and then he sat on my right.

"Sorry for the delay, have you guys ordered yet." I asked still avoiding everyone's eyes.

"Ya, we all ordered our drinks, your lover boy already ordered a pineapple soda for you, you guys did put a good show over there," Elyse said by playfully nudging my left elbow and everyone laughed.

He is not my lover boy, but still, I could sense my cheeks getting hot and Leo's hand caressing my hand gently under the table with an innocent smirk on his face.

I looked at Leo who was already looking at me, "thanks." I said in a low voice and he just simply nodded.

We all ordered our food and chatted about what we all have missed in these few weeks. Our food arrives and we all quickly dived into it.
