Chapter 12:
****
I couldn't sleep the entire night. I had drowned myself in my own tears.
Next day I woke up late. It was almost 11 am.
****
I was too lazy to take a shower so I just hopped out of bed in my shorts and a tank top. I went down to the kitchen and made some coffee to help me get my head straight from my hangover . I heard the door bell ring.
I walked towards the door sipping my coffee. I opened the door.
****
It was Leo. He had a bag in his hands. I just left the door open and walked inside , ignoring him. Yes , he did save me yesterday but i was hurt about him making out with Danielle.
He locked the door and followed me to the kitchen. He pulled out some pills and handed it over to me and said , "Here take these , It will help you with the head ache." I snatched the tablets from him and gulped it down with water. "I am going to have a shower.", I said and walked up to my room.
****
After the hot steaming shower for 30mins , I felt better. I had literally washed away Reuben's touch.
I put on some dry clothes and went into the kitchen. Leo had prepared sandwiches with bacon and scrambled egg. It looked delicious. Completely ignoring his presence I started eating it. It was yummy. Leo sure knew how to cook.
****
Leo sat on the couch and was peering into his phone. I finally broke the silence between us. " Thank you Leo, If it wasn't for you, I can't even imagine what would have happened to me .", I said as a tear flowed down my cheek. Leo looked concerned. He pulled me into a tight hug and said ,"Nothing is going to ever happen to you as long as I am alive ." His words were calm and soothing. He pulled away and placed a kiss on my forehead and said ," You are mine , Jules. Mine forever ." I hugged him.
I was still pissed with him. I wanted to ask him about Danielle. I just did not have the guts to.
****
"Leo what's going on between you and Danielle?", I asked. He frowned and said ," Nothing, we are just friends." My heart was shattering. " Do you make out with all your friends ??", I asked as another tear rolled down my cheeks. He stood up and said ,"I'm sorry I shall talk to you later . Take care." He left. I couldn't believe he left me crying. This hurt me the most. Why is he lying?
*****
I decided to meet up with my friends and spend some time to keep my mind off of all this. I just decided not to tell them anything and make them worry about me. I wanted them to be happy around me and not always pity me. What is love if it is out of pity.
