Leal

37.

I've kept my hair straight from this morning, I've redone my makeup and I've put on a skirt with a top for this party Leo wanted us to go to.

I stare longingly at my bed; I'm putting off my Friday nap for this party, which means I'm going to be so much more tired tomorrow.

"Bye, baby," I kiss Roland's heart shaped black spot on the side of his face.

He barks and whines a bit when I retract from him, "I know, baby," I stroke his fur.

"Leo is here, Chiara!" Emilio yells.

I head downstairs and look around for my boyfriend.

I walk into the living room, only finding Alexsei in there.

"You okay?" He looks up from his phone and asks me.

"Yeah, just looking for Leo, Emilio said he was here," I check my phone, half-certain that Emilio was just taking the piss.

"He's outside," he glares down at his phone, "he didn't come inside."

"Oh," I shake my head, "alright then."

"Bye guys!" I yell out to my brother's as I open the front door with a jacket in my arms.

"Be safe! Home by 11:30!" One of them shouts.

"Don't come home ever!" Another one shouts. Probably Taylor.

He loves me really.

I make my way towards Leo's car, hurriedly putting my black leather jacket on.

"Took long enough, babe," he smiles when I shut the door.

I do up my seatbelt whilst he reverses out of the driveway, "yeah, sorry."

"No worries," he places a hand on my exposed thigh.

"Who's party is this?" I ask, looking out of the window.

"My friend, Aaron's. He's chill, and I wanted to introduce you to my friends."

"Looking forward to it," I nod and face him.
