Heartbeats in the Storm 🍭Leon X Sandy⭐

Unexpected Surprise 💥

*Leon, still blushing from the earlier conversation, tries to explain his embarrassment.*

“Of course I don’t want him to sleep on the couch. I-I want him in my bed... It’s just…”

*Leon’s face is completely red as he struggles to explain himself. Bo understands and laughs a little.*

"He called his sister and Gene and said he can't stay the night here. It’s already 9 pm; it’s dangerous outside."

*Leon, still red-faced, nods.*

"Yeah, I know. I just wasn’t expecting Sandy to be in my bed. That’s all…”

*He mumbles, folding his arms across his chest and trying to calm down. Bo finishes cooking and calls out:*

"Here you are, son. Call Sandy to eat… Oh, sorry, I mean call your boyfriend to eat. Haha."

*Leon rolls his eyes, still blushing from being called out by his dad. He goes to his room, where Sandy is sleeping, and gently shakes Sandy’s shoulder to wake him up.*

“Hey, sleepyhead. Wake up, dinner is ready…”

*Sandy doesn’t respond, so Leon tries shaking him again.*

“Sandy, wake up, c’mon. I need you to wake up…”

*Sandy mumbles with a cute voice:*

“Mhhh~ 5 more minutes…”

*Leon smiles at Sandy’s sleepy, cute voice.*

“No, c’mon. You need to get up. It’s dinner time, and the food is ready…”

*Hearing "dinner," Sandy wakes up quickly, clearly hungry.*

“Well… let’s go, honey.”

*Leon chuckles at how quickly Sandy wakes up at the mention of dinner.*

“You really woke up when you heard dinner, huh? Well, c’mon, let’s go.”

*He holds out a hand for Sandy to take. They join Bo and Nita for dinner, chatting about Sandy’s preferences. During the meal, Nita returns from Jessy’s house.*

“Oh, you’re back. Did you manage to talk to Jessy?” Leon asks, curious.

*Nita looks concerned as she responds:*

“Yeah, Leon. You’re lucky to be away from a crazy girl. She has pictures in her room with hearts on them and some with her and you. And she even has pictures of Sandy with knives drawn on them and some bad words like ‘kill’ and ‘murder’… she’s a little crazy with all this.”

*Leon’s eyes widen in shock.*

“What? Seriously? Damn… she really has serious issues…”

*He mumbles, clearly disturbed by the fact that Jessy has so many photos of him and particularly those disturbing images of Sandy. Nita continues:*

“Poor Gus.”

*Leon looks confused.*

“Why poor Gus?”

*Nita explains:*

“Jessy told me in front of Gus that she wants to date him.”

*Leon’s confusion grows.*

“She wants Gus to what? Why the hell would she want Gus to date her?”

*Nita adds:*

“Gus said yes Jessy forced him to say yes . I think she’s trying to make you and Sandy jealous.”

*Leon becomes angry.*

“God damn it… she thinks she can make me jealous by dating Gus? I’m already with Sandy. She has no chance of making me jealous. Poor Gus… she’s using him just to get back at me.”

*Nita adds:*

“Don’t forget Bonnie. Bonnie was going out with Gus.”

*Leon facepalms in disbelief.*

“Ugh, Jesus Christ… that’s even worse. Bonnie likes Gus. Jessy probably knows that and decided to force Gus going out in front of you, trying to make it look like she actually likes him, even though she’s just using him to make me jealous and Bonnie angry. She’s absolutely terrible. I’m never getting back together with her.”

*Nita, a bit annoyed, says:*

“Bonnie is my friend. She doesn’t know the past with Gus. Don’t be too hard on her.”

*Leon takes a deep breath, trying to calm down and avoid upsetting Nita.*

“Sorry… you’re right. It’s just this whole situation is frustrating and making me pretty upset.”

*Nita, looking worried, says:*

“Well… tomorrow is another day. It’s better if you plan what to say at school about the bullies.”

*Leon nods, leaning back in his chair.*

“Yeah, I’ll need to figure out how to handle those bullies. I just want to make sure they don’t mess with Sandy tomorrow.”

*Nita looks more serious:*

“I remember something, Leon, and it’s not good for you.
