Angelical

-----Chapter Sixteenth-----

The moon was shining brighter late at night, seeing people's light inside their houses already off, everything was quiet, except for Valentina, the night stand lamp was on giving her enough light.

Leon have already fallen asleep at her bed, the man didn't seem to like being alone at the guest room, he's just not comfortable being alone sometimes, which makes Valentina overthink sometimes about not making Leon comfortable at the guest room's bed, it feels like she didn't cleaned the guest room well, even though she had cleaned the guest room during the weekends, since she doesn't like dirt a lot, but surely she was messy while painting sometimes, even often times she was clumsy.

Being up late was unhealthy for her, so when she can't sleep yet, she would often read books, waiting for herself to feel sleepy, Leon was facing the other side, the only thing that Valentina is seeing right now was the back of his body.

Leon was awake, this time he turned to his side, facing Valentina, seeing her awake late, basically worried about her, she had a  loose strand of her hair, making him see her other right side of her face, he had admired her side profile enough.

When it's evening, she would put her hair down, when it's daytime she would tie her hair at low messy ponytail style, he had said to himself many times.

Am I really that lucky enough to have a woman like her?

Valentina had her eyes at the book, she was on her night sleeping clothes, he had saw her many times back then, he saw her read many books, mostly fairytales ones back then when their little kids, he had saw her how much talented she was, she was talented at arts and especially on playing musical instruments.

This time Valentina have felt like she was being watched, she slowly looked at the side, seeing a pair of brown eyes looking at her, Leon noticed this, "Why are you still awake?" Valentina was supposed to question him back, "I can't sleep well." Instead of Valentina questioning him back, she choose to answer him back.

His own dark brown hair was messy, he had sleepy eyes, wanting to go sleep again, but surely Leon wake himself up to check something, it was random anyway, but he was surprised that Valentina was still awake.

She was on her seating position, her own back was layed at the headboard, while her legs are curled up to her chest, she had her book at her hand, she would often put her book at her thigh if her hands have something to hold.

This time Leon put himself at the same seating position of Valentina, "You should put that down now." Leon said, even though Valentina doesn't feel sleepy yet, she still listen, since she kind of overthink to herself that she didn't want Leon being upset towards her.

The lamp was still on, curtains are open although window was closed, Valentina have felt like she was being carried, for Leon she had put Valentina on his lap, her front body was facing him, Leon can feel Valentina's chest onto him, he can feel her chest going up and down slowly.

Putting his other arm around her waist, this time Valentina have felt like her whole face turned red, especially her ears as well, he put a hand at the side of her thigh, Valentina's face was mixed like the color of pink and red, but in reality, it had felt like her emotions are messed up.

The more her emotion changes the more her breathing changes at the same time, she had felt like she had crazy emotions running inside her, Leon can feel her breathing change, it's like her whole heart was beating fast, her chest going up and down.

This time Leon removed his arm at Valentina waist, putting his hand at the back of her body, he than tuck the loose strands of her hair behind her ear, getting much more closer, to the fact that Valentina can feel him breathing, "Calm down." He whispered at her ear.

Valentina than fixed herself all up, calming herself, until her breathing changes, this time Leon removed his hand at the back of her body, he moved his hand at Valentina's  cheeks, with his other hand still on her thigh.

And then again, removing his hand at her cheek, feeling his fingers at her hair, it had felt like Leon wanted her to lean to his chest, but before that, Leon felt a arm at his waist, putting her other hand at his cheek, cupping it with one hand, this time she leaned in much more closer towards his face.

He had felt her lips at his cheek, he didn't know what to reply, he was lost with his words, Valentina than removed her lips at his cheek, saying something before she sleeps, "Goodnight Leo." Valentina said, before burying her face at the crook of his neck.

Leon was warm enough, although Valentina didn't know if Leon would be comfortable enough if she kissed him at the lips, so instead she would kiss him at his cheek, "Goodnight Ophelia." He said before he go back at sleeping, the lamp was finally turned off by Leon, the only light that has at the room, was the moon reflecting its own light.
