Chapter 14 - Proposal and Planning (Photo of Leo) ---->

"Psst... Wake up!"

Rolling in my bed, I sank deeper into my pillow.

"Psst Scarlett!" A voice whispered hurriedly.

"Mm." I moaned in deep sleep.

Hearing a thick sigh, I was about to drift off when I was flicked on the head.

"Ouch!" I moaned, rubbing the sore spot.

Groggily I looked around me and saw a dark figure kneeling on the side of my bed.

Just as I was about to scream murder, a hand covered my mouth quickly.

"Shh! Don't scream." The voice whispered harshly. "I'm going to remove my hand, so don't scream."

Slowly when the hand moved away from my mouth, I squinted in the dark to see Leo fully clothed.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Trying to wake you up." He replied back sarcastically.

Rolling my eyes, I patted around my pillow for my phone and saw that it was just after midnight.

"It's midnight, so what the hell do you want?" I asked flopping back on the mattress.

He shuffled a bit before sitting on the edge of my bed. "Get changed we're going out."

"Huh?"

"Get changed, we're going out." He repeated.

"No way, I'm tired and I want to sleep. Get lost!" I shot back snuggling into my duvet.

I closed my eyes and waited for Leo to leave. No sound come and I wondered what he was doing.

"If you don't get up in three seconds I wil-" He began to threaten darkly before I butt in.

"Or what?" I dared siting up so fast I nearly got a head rush.

He leaned closer to me where I was able to see his face clearer in the moonlight.

"You don't want to know princess." He answered huskily. "So it's the last time I'm saying this. Get dressed."

I whacked him on the shoulder and grudgingly got out of my cosy bed. He stood as well and looked at me. Standing opposite him with my hands on my hips, I glared at him.

"Get out so I can change then." I whispered.

A smirk appeared on his face when he gave me a once over before slowly walking out of my room.

"Meet me in the hallway near the study." He said behind his shoulder.

I yawned and switched on my lamp instead of the room light and picked out grey joggers and a thin long sleeved top. Once changed I slipped into some converse and ran a hand through my hair which wasn't too bad.

Slowly and quietly I walked out of my room and stood on the landing listening for any sounds.

I couldn't hear any sound or noise from upstairs where the twins slept and Noah was asleep since there was never any noise from his room. Settled that everyone was sleeping, I tiptoed down the stairs and saw Leo leaning against the wall of the study.

"You took your time." He teased when he saw me.

I raised a brow and crossed my arms.

"Follow me." He said.

We went to the side door which lead to the garage. There weren't any cars parked inside as they were in the driveway. Leo opened the small garage door which lead the the front of the house and walked down the driveway.
