Leading lights | Felix

16.

Another month had passed since Leah started living in the apartment near to stray kids's and was on her last month of pregnancy. And while the other 4 member of stray kids were yet to find out about a girl living next door to them, the 4 who knew Leah was getting even more closer to the girl. Especially Felix who was at her apartment every other day sometimes helping her cooks or just simply sitting and chatting with her. And Leah was afraid cause she was starting to like the boy lately. And not in a friendly way either. Now she wasn't worried about the possibility about Felix not liking her , what worried her was actually quite the opposite scenario , cause she had a feeling that the younger Australian was starting to like her too. But she desperately hoped she was reading his signs wrong cause she feared that if they ever got together she will ruin the boy's life and everything he worked hard for.

It was yet another evening when Felix was at Leah's apartment talking with her . But he looked quite nervous for some reason.

Agn: ok that's it .

Flx: what happened?

Agn: I've been noticing you since you came over today. Something is bothering you and your nervous about something. What happened, you know you can tell me.

Flx: actually about that. I was looking for a better chance to say this but yes your right , I'm nervous and something is bothering me. It's nothing bad though.

Agn: if it's not bad then you can share it with me right or is it something regarding the group that your not allowed to share.

Flx: no it's a personal thing. You see I don't know how you will react to what I'm about to say , but I um.... Like you, and not in a friendly way.

Agn: shit you can't ... No that came out wrong. Now I am not disregarding your feelings for me or doubting you . But your making a mistake.

Flx: how is liking you a mistake.

Agn: cause think about it Felix, I'm not dating material, while I like you too , we can't be together cause if we get in a relationship you would have to sort of take up a co-parent role for my child . And if people ever find out , they would drag you down, they would think your crazy for dating a girl who got knocked up by some dude, who didn't even stay , when she was so young. Your haters are just looking for an opportunity to drag you down. Drag the entire group down. And as your friend and as your fan I can't be the reason you get hate.

Flx: you like me too ?

Agn: not the point. The point is we should just remain friends.

Flx: why cause the public won't like it ?... Hmm ? Then what about me , what about my feelings and what I want. Why should I sacrifice my happiness to satisfy some people who only knows me through a screen. And I'm sure Stay will understand if we ever get caught. And about the haters , well I don't give a fuck about what haters have to tell about my life.

Agn: but Felix.

Flx: do you like me ?

Agn: yes I do but.

Flx: no buts. I'm saying this again . I like you , and now I know you like me too. So will you be my girlfriend?

Agn:...... I'm torn Felix. While on one side I just want throw caution to the wind and just say yes. Another part of me knows how risky this and I don't want to -

Flx: then just say yes and let me handle the rest. Also Leah I would gladly take up a co-parent role with you. As long we are together which I hope will be forever.

Agn: you sure about this ?

Flx: yes I'm sure.

Agn: then yes I'll be your girlfriend.

The next thing she knows she is being side hugged by Felix and  they spent the rest of the evening watching a movie before Felix had to head over to his apartment
