Author's note- Hey guys! I just wanted to apologize for the last chapter when I called Leo, Liam by accident. My fault! Enjoy the story (:
Alicia P.O.V.
I woke up the next morning to an empty house, and since today was my day off, I'd figure I'd do a little shopping for my place.
As soon as I'm recovered I plan on moving back home, I know Leo won't like it but I don't want to stay longer than I really have to. I feel deeply about him, and I feel like the longer I stay the more attached I'm going to get.
I got Myself up out of The bed and went to the shower.
I decided to wear denim shorts and my yeezus t- shirt since it was sunny outside.
After I was done and had grabbed my bag, I called one of Leo's drivers, Tony, to come pick me up.
Not long Tony showed up and we were on our way downtown.
I told tony to drop me off at this little boutique I saw and that I wouldn't be longer than an hour or so.
But, as I walked into the store I felt like someone was behind me, I tried to brush it off and not look paranoid, but the feeling stuck with me all the way up to the boutiques doors.
I scurried inside and started looking around for some new pieces of clothing.
I ended up buying some cute Summer time clothes and went walking around some other stores until I couldn't shop anymore. The whole time I was waking in downtown Manhattan, I still felt that lurking feeling behind me. I decided to call Leo to come pick me up, he's the only Person that makes me feel safe surprisingly given how arrogant he can be.
I waited for him to pick up as the phone kept ringing when he finally picked up.
" Hello, Leo? It's me Alicia." I said, turning into another store to be safe.
" Hey, what's going on??" He asked, it was like he could tell something was wrong without even asking me.
" I've been walking around Manhattan doing some shopping, and I just feel like I'm being followed, can you please come get me?" I of all people hated asking others for things, but I felt like now was an exception.
" Of course, I'm on my way, stay put Alicia ." And with that Leo hung up.
Leo P.O.V.
As soon as Alicia gave me that call, I dashed out of my office and to the parking garage. I didn't know who was following her, or why, but I would make sure I found out.
If anything happened to Alicia I don't know what I would do, I told her I would take care of her, even if it's just for six stupid weeks, well at least that's what she thought. But in all honesty, I care way too much about her to just drop her after her recovery, I've developed a connection with her, she brings so much light to my life she doesn't even know about.
While I was on my way to get Alicia, I called every detective I know to search up this Rico guy, it had to be him. The way he looked at me in the bar the other night said everything, he wanted some type of revenge, and If it be on me, fine, but on Alicia? No way in hell will I let that slide.
I got to the place Alicia texted me she was at and ran inside. She was sitting at a table with her hands on her face.
I walked up to her.
" Alicia baby, I'm here." I said soothing her back.
" Oh, thank goodness!" She exclaimed putting her head up and giving me a hug. What I did next is what I've been wanting to do every since I laid eyes on her.
I kissed her, Deeply. I really couldn't help it. And the best part? She kissed me back too, and in that moment, boy I was the happiest man on earth. I pulled away and gave her a smile and helped her up.
I grabbed her things and we headed back to the car.
Strange thing is, there was a note in the drivers seat.
" keep your eyes on her - N." It read. I was wrong completely. This wasn't Rico, it was Natalie.
"Leo!" I heard Alicia scream from inside the car. I hadn't realized I was holding up traffic with the car door wide open and me standing next to it.
I got inside the car, put the note in my pocket, and started on our way home.
" Leo, What's bothering you?" Alicia asked.
" Nothing, nothing at all." I replied and kept driving.
Vengeance was in the air.
