That Boy Next Door - Leonetta Story

Twenty

'Hi Violetta...' Leon greets me carefully. 'Leon, dad, seriously? Couldn't you tell me? Before I got mad at you two for...whatever.' I looked at them both. Laughing between the words I just spoke. But also serious faces. Just to laugh again after the serious faces. And so did we all laugh.

Angie and dad came to the door to introduce themselves and let them in of course.

'Come on in.' Dad said, and they followed.

Angie started to talk to his mom, Meghan. She brought a salad or something. 'what have you there? Let me take it, so you can take off your jacket.' His mom handed the bowl to Angie. They both went to the kitchen 1 minute later. Dad and Leon's father, talked about wines and cars. Just men talk.

While they talk and diner being made, Leon and I talked on the couch.

'I'm sorry, Violetta, about earlier.' I nodded and closed my eyes. 'No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't reacted the way I did. I'm sorry.' He landed his right hand on my left shoulder. 'It's okay. Just one thing... Angie, is your mother?' 'No, she's my aunt. My mothers sister. She died when I was little, and they were always together. So when my mom was dying she asked Angie to take good care of me and my dad. And now she's living with us. I started to see her as my mom a few years ago. So, yeah that's us.' It was a bit quitter. We did realized then that we we're actually really getting to know each other.

'Well, I think that is beautiful what Angie did for your mother. To take care of you sister's family. Especially when they aren't with us anymore.' Leon blushes the silent away. 'Yeah, funny, I never thought about it like that. Thanks. What's your family "history"? or any brothers? Sisters?' 'I...I did-' 'You did? Is she or he not here anymore?' I shockly interrupted him. 'Leon, Violetta, dinner is ready.' Angie said from the table. 'I'll tell you later. Just let's enjoy dinner, okay?' He said before he stands up held out his hand. He is such a gentleman already.

'Yeah, let's just enjoy dinner. You can tell me whenever you're ready.' I whisper him as we sat down next to each other.

"Dinner was amazing. The grown up people talked like they were friends for a while now what is kind of great to see that they already have become friends. And to be honest, I think that dad and Angie needed this. And me too." 

I wrote in my diary before I went to sleep. And I dreamt about all what happened tonight. It was the best night in ages.
