That Boy Next Door - Leonetta Story

Thirty-Six

After Leon ended the song and stood up, I walked to him and thanked him properly. 'It's amazing. I love it.' I whispered in his ear. 'Well, I love you.' I got shocked. 'Wh-what?' Before Leon could answer his niece, Callie came to join us. The rest didn't watch us anymore, luckily. I would be inbearest.

'Hey love birds😍. Leon, can I steal Violetta, right? For a minute?' I looked at Leon for a second. And he looked at me. A second later, he gave me a wink.
'Talk to you later. And you, don't you dare!' Callie and I laughed. 'I won't. Promise.' 'Okay. I'll let you girls talk.'
And he walked away.

'Violetta, I wanted to ask you a few questions...' 'Yeah. No problem. What's on your mind?' I looked at her with a curious face. 'Well, first I wanted to ask you... I'm just gonna say it.' I nodded. 'Okay.'
'What was that? I saw how he looked at you. And you at him.' I got butterflies and a little shy. 'I just.. when I first saw him... I wanted to say hi and stare the whole time. It was actually the minute they arrived here. I was just staring out of the window, and there he was.'

'Leon, did you write that song?' Fede asked me when I saw him at the drinks. 'Yeah. I did. It isn't the full version. I didn't want to do the whole song. So I did a little part. What do you think?' 'What do I think? I think it's an amazing song.' 'You do?' I smiled a little bit. 'Totally.'

'How did you guys meet then?' Callie asked me after. 'Well, that night we started with...' I started laughing a little, but because it's actually funny to tell the story about Leon and me. But I continued. 'That night, we started talking through writing on paper and holding it to the window so we could read the messages. And then we figured it would be easier if we became friends on the chat. We talked almost all night.'
'Wow. You must have been close then since the very first moment. Or that talking all night.' 'Yeah. We are. I think most people need to spend much more time to be this close. And we know each other now, a month or 2? Maybe 6 weeks...' 'I'm gonna grab something to drink. Do you want some?' 'No thanks. I'm good.'

'Callie, hey, what do you think about Leon's song?' Federico asked when she joined the girls at the table with some drinks. 'I think it's a great song, Leon. Really you should write some more like that. And you should go to that school you talked about. studio....' 'Studio On Beat.' 'Yeah. Studio On Beat.' Federico smiled and whispered 'tell her.' And walked away.

'What did he tell you?' Callie asked. Leon giggled a little. 'The thing is...haha I already took a test and I got excepted. Sorry I haven't told you earlier. But I wanted to see your face.' Now they both laughed. But Callie took it as him laughing at her. She gave him a little push. 'That isn't funny, Leon. Haha'
