-I don't need music or fancy linens as long as you're here with me-
Reese, from Stone In Love. By @neverfakeit aka Morgan Rider."Are you still upset?". Alcina asked warily.
"No", came the muffled reply beside her. She hadn't pictured this date going this way and it was all thanks to Jason. Alcina had regrets for every moment with him, but those days were over now, nobody wants anything to do with their ex."You're lying". Alcina stated the obvious and Leonardo huffed, straightening his back and shoving his hands into his pockets.
As they turned a corner, a child ran into Leonardo. There was barely an impact, given to his rock hard bodice, but the little girl was caught in Leonardo's glare. A glare that could bring Godfathers to their knees.
"I'm sorry, Sir". She said with a shaky voice as tears gathered in her eyes. She turned on her heels and ran. But Alcina had seen a tear drop before the girl took off.
Alcina watched horrified as Leonardo kept walking as though nothing had happened.
"You insensitive brute!". Alcina shouted at him."What did you call me?"
"I'm done here, I'm going home". She turned and walked the opposite way. Palms clenched, she walked as fast as she could, but Leonardo still kept up with her.
"Stop acting like a child". Leonardo told her. He grabbed her hand, but she snatched it away.
She stopped now and glared at him.. "I'm acting like a child? Unbelievable!". She threw her hands in the air.
"You just made a child cry, because you were having stupid mood swings, and you're telling me that I'm acting like a child. I'm sorry if Jason insulted you, but you don't have to take your frustration out on the world"Leonardo sighed. "I'm...so". He bit his lip, "I'm ssshory"
"What?". Alcina asked as she hid a smile.
"S..orr..y" , was all he managed to get out. Leonardo hadn't said sorry in a while. All it took was Alcina's blonde hair and brown eyes to get him to say it.
"Thank you".
"How about that walk?". He asked as he offered his palm, which she took.
She nodded and they walked hand in hand towards that same corner. A comfortable silence fell on them as they both thought about what had happened there a few minutes ago.
Alcina couldn't read minds, but from the guilt laden expression Leonardo had, he was truly ssshory.
She giggled at the thought.
Leonardo glanced at her warily.
"Are...you ok?". He asked."Yes. I was just thinking about your ssshory apology". Alcina giggled again.
"Drink it in cause that's all you're getting from me". After a while, he spoke again, "so what should we do?"
"I don't know, something crazy and spontaneous"
"Spontaneous, I like the sound of that". Leonardo said.
"Leonardo?".
"Hm"
"Can I ask you a question?". Alcina asked and she felt him stiffen beside her.
"Sure"
