Soon enough, we arrive at Leo's house and I am in a hurry to see him. I just want to know that he's okay and that the accident didn't do too much damage.

I also want to see him because I miss him a lot. I want us to have a good conversation so we can go back to being us. Even though I'm mad at him, this accident gave me a wake-up call. At any moment, I could lose him permanently. I want to spend as much time with him as possible. So we can just talk this out and makeup.

Xavier opens my door and we make our way inside the house. I'm getting more anxious and nervous because I don't know what to expect. How badly is he hurt? How much is he hurt? Is he bleedin-?

"You're okay..." I let out when I see him. There is not a scratch on him or a hair out of place. He looks fine. And he looks fine. Fuck, this man looks good.

"She's awake? You were supposed to kidnap her," he says talking to Xavier.

"KIDNAP ME?" I ask as I whip my head in his direction."WHAT DO YOU MEAN KIDNAP ME?"

"I'm just gonna go," Xavier says as he winces and goes to leave the room.

"NO!" I stop him. "Both of you need to explain what is going on right now."

They are both quiet. Like pitch silence. I can't even hear them breathe.

"Speak up. I thought Leo was in an accident I say facing Xavier. "And you're supposed to be in bed, hurt from your accident. What are you doing here looking like all perfect and all Leo for?" I continue looking at Leo.

"Perfect? You think I look perfect?" he teases. "And what accident? I wasn't in an accident." Leo replies to me.

"Then why did Xavier say you were and what is this about kidnapping me?" I question them both.

"I just have one thing to say," Xavier starts. "It was all Leo's idea."

"Cazzo, seriously? Just shut up," Leo scolds him.

"I don't care who's idea it was. Just one of you start talking!"

"Damn she's scary when she's mad," Xavier tries to whisper at Leo."

"Tell me about it."

"I am right here and I can hear you by the way." I let them both know and they both give me a sheepish smile.

"Leo told me to kidnap you," Xavier lets out while throwing his hands up in defense.

"But I got you a gift," Leo exclaims. "Let's focus on that instead."

These two are a mess, and I honestly am struggling to hold my laughter in. But this is serious.

"You told him to kidnap me? What is wrong with you Leo?"

"You were taking too long to process everything and I was getting tired of stalking you, so I thought I'd help you speed things along," he confesses.

"By kidnapping me? Wait, you've been stalking me? Leo, what the fuck?"

"It's not that bad when you hear the whole plan."

"It's terrible." Xavier retorts at Leo.

"Shut up X!" Leo slaps Xavier and turns to face me."He was supposed to kidnap you, then bring you here, and I was gonna give you an apology gift so you'd forgive me." The fuck?

"Why?"

"Well, because I missed you and I wanted to see you." I must really care about him because even though I should be mad at him, I find it kinda cute that he'd go through all of this trouble just because he missed me.
