Fearless (Book 1)

Chapter 19 - Suspicions

Y/N POV

Something is just not right with mom. She's been looking stressed for some reason on the phone every time and I'm telling you that it's not with her boyfriend from what I'm hearing.

I'm sitting in the hallway drawing in my journal waiting for school to start. I hear footsteps coming. I look up to see that it was Leo in his human form. I shut my journal and pack it up in my black backpack I got yesterday.

I stand up and sling my backpack over my back. 

"Hey fearless." I said hugging him while he hugged me back. His hugs were always so comforting.

"Hey beautiful." He said kissing my cheek now. That didn't change my mind about what I heard my mom say. He noticed my expression and asked, "Are you okay?" While cradling the back of my neck.

I turned to look at his face and changed my expression. "Yes I'm alright." I said.

The warning bell went off. "We gotta go to class." Leo said and then we walked down the hall with him messing with me a little bit. When we got into the social studies classroom, Mrs.Steele was already at her desk typing up something.

The other students were behind us and were walking to their desks. Or to their friend's desks or something to hangout with them before class started.

The final bell rang. The students went to their assigned seats.

       
                
                        After school

"You're short." Leo said as we were walking on the sidewalk from school. I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

"I'm like 2 inches shorter than you or something." I said chuckling as we went into the alley.  I began to take off my black backpack that was barely full.

Leo took my face gently in his hands and we both leaned in with his lips on mine. My arms went around his neck with his hands around my waist.

Leo and I pulled away only to reangle our heads to kiss again. When we pulled away, he looked at me with a concerned look on his face.

"Are you okay?" He asked. His thumb now caressing my cheek. "You've been like this almost the entire day."

There's no turning back now. I took a breath and exhaled. "I have been having some suspicions with my mom. I don't think it's a good thing."

"How long have you been having that suspicion?" He asked now looking into my eyes.

"Well... I've been having it since yesterday and I just couldn't even stop thinking about what she said." I said breaking our eye contact while I'm looking down now.

"If it's bad, I'd suggest trying to hear her without getting caught." He said lifting up my chin and then he kissed my lips again and pulled me into his embrace. "It's gonna be alright." He said in a soft voice.

I sighed. Clearly comforted by him. Everything about him I'm comforted about.

As we pulled apart, Leo brushed some of my hair away from my face, cupped my face in both of his hands, and then his lips softly planted onto mine while his thumb softly caresses my cheek.

After we pulled apart, I picked up my backpack and slung it over my shoulder. I looked at Leo and took his backpack for him to transform back. He looks hotter in his turtle form.

At least to me.

After he transformed, he opened the manhole for us to go in.

"I sometimes don't understand how you can easily lift up a manhole cover. They're heavy." I said aloud. I always wondered how he could lift that darn heavy thing.

"It's called training your muscles." He said. My eyes started wondering up his muscles. I quickly stop looking at them and I heard him chuckle. "Ya like what you see?" He asks pretending that he wasn't taunting me.

I walk and climb down the ladder. "I know what you're doing. Quit trying to make me blush!" I said but I felt my face quickly heat up.

He chuckled more as we were walking in the tunnels now. "I think you're blushing now." He said.

"Um I- I'm not." I said.

"Then why is your face red?" He questions innocently.

Shoot!

"That's because I'm mad that you're charm is working on me." I said as an excuse. I feel myself being lifted up and being slung up on someone's shoulders.

Why Leo!?

"Oh is that so?" He asks while smacking my butt now.

"Ahh! Leo!"
