I'm In Love With A Psychopath

Mixed Emotions

We drive for days only stopping for gas and food or a short restroom break. Until we finally get to a neighborhood, it was in the middle of the rich countryside with so much land that you'd have to drive miles until seeing another palace of a mansion, garages big enough to fit 12 cars, fountains, 5 story houses, who could afford this? I looked out the window in awe and as I can't believe people actually buy these to live in.
"Close your mouth it's not that interesting" Leo says chuckling, I roll my eyes and continue looking out the car window. Until we pass through the neighborhood. I thought Leo would be taking me to a lower class hide out or goon meeting far past the house like where gardens keepers or maids stay, but to my surprise It was a huge mansion bigger than the others it was gorgeous but it was so secluded and it looked somewhat scary. Because of the storm. Leo pulls up to the front door and turns off the car
"So um why are we here again" I ask.
He looks at me squinting his eyes at me making a face as if he's asking if I'm stupid.
"Apollo is still after you he's not in jail so the first place he'd go is to your house or Penelope's house or hell even mine, I need to keep you safe in my family's safe house" he said as he began to unbuckle my seat belt with one hand while holding an umbrella with the other.
"The house is beautiful how can someone not want a closer look?" I ask stepping out of the car under the umbrella he was holding for me.

"Trees, plants, a fucking gate it may not be unnoticeable but it is protected" he says as we walk to the house. He's... not under the umbrella he's getting soaking wet he could catch a cold. We get into the house he then locks the door and turns on a security system.

"There, that's safer right?" He asks, I looks at him and nod lightly, he looks at me as if has thinking,

"What?" I ask looking at him up and down

"Go upstairs and take a shower" he says, so I nod again and begin to go up the enormous staircase, I then went to one of the 11 bathrooms in the mansion I turned locked the door so he wouldn't barge in like the first time.

I start the shower, remove my clothes and hop in. As I shower I wonder how or what made Leo become this way, I mean I know why but why does he protect me like this.

After I wash up and put on my clothes and leave the bathroom, I smell something... good downstairs. I go down stairs, following the smell to the kitchen. The smell gets stronger pulling me in closer, I open the kitchen door to see Leo with some sort of food on the counter he looks like he got into a food fight and lost but that dish, it looks odd but smells good what is it?

"Hey um are you hungry" he asks with a nervous chuckle. I look at him as dough is dripping off his head, I tilt my head in confusion.

"Um what is that" I ask getting a wet rag to wipe his face off with it.

"It's chicken pot pie more or less" he said smiling nervously. As I stare at it, It reminded me of the pot pie my mom made for me anytime I was feeling upset or stressed, but her pot pie was an actual pot pie with chicken sometimes a meat lovers pot pie without peas and corn and carrots but with a hot flakey crust, not a chicken pot pizza with soggy crust that's dripping on the floor.

"Wow, it's just wow" I say with a nervous smile

"Do you like it? I tried to copy your moms recipe because you looked upset" he replied. I thought it was sweet of him to attempt to cheer me up. But how'd he know her recipe? I begin to genuinely smile but before I could the chicken pot pizza fell out of his hands and onto the floor, I look at Leo as his smile turns into a frown and I begin to laugh.

"Wha? What's so funny" he asked

"You're all sad over the pot pizza let's just make a new one" I reply laughing harder, I wipe off Leo's face with the rag and begin to roll out the dough.
