When I woke up, my body ached from a long sleep. I stretched on the bed and my neck literally cracked releasing the build up tension. I checked my phone time was 9:00 A.M., I don't usually wake this late. But it's sunday so I can relax a bit. Then I remembered yesterday's horror, but I told myself. Nothing will happen to me. I am in Leo's apartment. The stalker never sends anything here. Last time when I stayed with Levi he didn't send anything. Nothing would have happened in my place too, he had never entered a flat in the apartment and even if he tried I have Adam and Domnico to protect me, they are trained in this field after all. But I needed someone close to me whom I can hold if my brain does all the overthinking. I need someone to talk to and Adam and Domnico are very professional, they don't even talk to me unless it is for safety purposes. After washing my face and brushing my teeth I left the guest bedroom. I headed straight to the kitchen, I am hungry. Leo was not there. I searched for him in the living room, he was not there. I knocked his bedroom couple of times but he didn't answered.so I went to different rooms and knocked, no one answered. Then when I knocked this one room, a rough voice answered "come in".
I entered the room that looked like a home office, no not a home office a full fledged office. The office looks modern done in shades of greys and everything is made with a mirror. It is not excessive it is minimal and functional yet so extravagant in its simplicity. Leo is sitting in a chair in front of the table looking at the files on the table. He smiled at me "slept well sleepy head." "Yeah I didn't wake up until now. I don't usually wake up late." He nodded "well sundays are for relaxing". "But you are working like it's monday." He laughed "I am an exception". "Did you have breakfast?" "I didn't, but I will prepare it for us." "Let's do it together" I suggested. Leo stood from his chair and walked towards the kitchen.
We entered the kitchen. Leo had raw material for everything but we decided to make a simple omelette and chop some fruits. Leo told me he had sent Adam and Domnico on and off for the day. He said they will come back if I needed to go outside, meantime he and Levi are at home. He texted Levi everything about yesterday and told me Levi will come as soon as he wakes up and see the text. We put everything on the counter. Leo took the task of chopping and he started dicing onions. I gaped at his strong veiny forearms that look delicious by the way but the thing that shook me was his chopping skills. He was chopping like a pro chef. "Wow when did you learn to do that?" I asked. Leo gave me a glance and then focused his attention on the chopping board. "I used to work part time at dinner." "Yes but you worked at the cash counter". Leo looked at me for a moment. His eyes reflected something indecipherable then he blinked and his eyes were blank again. "Yes but I learned the basics there and I used to cook for myself in college, there I also worked part time in a McDonald's." I giggled a little "I am not surprised at all. You were always good at multiple tasks. King of all jack of none. You rephrased that saying you know." Leo laughed and his smile brought a smile to my face just like in the past.
