Chapter 22 - Lot To Remember

Aries pov

My head hurted so much. I opened my eyes and saw the ceiling was spining around it made me want to puke. I raised and rushed in the toilet but the door was lock.

Damn..! Who is this shit inside my bathroom. I smacked on the door with my ranging anger.

"Hye.. I need to use the rest room." My fist was busy knocked on the door.

After some knocked, the door wide open revealing Leo in his towel wrapped around his waist. The water dripped from his wet hair, slowly rolled down his chest. Damn..!! He's hot.

"What are you doing in my room?" I roared not giving him the chance to bashed on me.

He looked at me disbelief like I just commit the greatest sins of all time. "Are you still drunk or what? This is clearly my room."

My eyes roamed around imediately. After few second, the truth hit me. This is his room. What am I doing here? What happen last night? The next second, my sight trailed down my body. I sighed in relief as I found I still dress properly.

"Don't be relief that soon. You have lot to remember." I heard that clearly before I enter the toilet in a rushed.

I threw up most of my stomach content. As I washed my face, Leo warning rang in my ears again. I have lot to remember. What did I do last night? I don't have any ideas.

I get out from the bathroom but didn't see Leo in the room anymore. I exit his room and went in mine. After freshen myself, I sat on my bed thinking hard the things I did last night before the knocked on my door pushed me back in reality.

"I need to talk to you." Leo husky low super attractive voice got my attention.

"What now." I mumbled the time I opened my door.

He stoond there in his black suit and tie. He was looking at me fiercely. I used to see him dress formally but the current him just took my breath away. What's wrong with my head? Am I still drunk or what?

"Lets talk. In the living room." He gesture me to follow him, so I did.

He sat acros me with his leg cross. I got the feeling he was somehow furrious to me. He spoke nicely and that scary me. Leo was acting weird. Why is that?

"I have an operation I need to lead. I might not be home this few days. I add few of my man in your CPO while I'm away. Just to make sure you'll not running away from me. Although you can try but don't mess with me Aries." He spoke fiercely directly on my face.

I use to his warning but this time its felt weird. Why was he angry? Leo was not being his usual self.  He was irritated and annoyed. What did I done that provoke him like this?

"Do you understand me?"

I nodded imediately, not daring any idiot action this time. He sighed heavily as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Ok.. you may go." He waved as the cue to my leave.

But I didn't budge. My gaze was still at him. He looked up to me and sighed again.

"What is it?" He asked annoyingly.

"Why are you angry?" I asked frustratedly.

"Do I look angry to you?" He asked back.

"Yes you're."

"How can you tell?"

"Your vibe is different that usual. You're holding your anger."

"You still got lot to remember." He stared right in my eyes and sighed again.

Ignoring my question, he raised and walked toward the exit. Pain slowly crawled in my heart seeing him leaving the house. I thought I'll be fine without him, I thought I'll be ok with him leaving, but I'm not. I'm clearly not ok alone.

"Leo.." For the first time his name rolled from my tongue making him stop by the door. "You'll be back right?"

He turned to me, and this time, his smiled light up my darkness.

"I'll be back."

Before he cross the door, I ran in his direction and crash my body on his chest, hugging him as much as I could. I don't want to lost him too. I wish the time stop when he returned my hugged. His warm breath felt on my neck slolwy filling the emptiness in my chest.

"Do you have something you want to tell me?" His voice sound very sweet by my ear sending chill all over my body.

"I don't." I answered with my face burried on his chest.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I am."

"For a moment I thought you remember it." He let out a meaningless chuckled.

"Stop telling me to remember and just tell me." I protested.

"No.. I'll keep asking you to remember it until you remember it on your own."

"Is this a payback?" I asked again.

"I wish it is.. but Its not. Remember it Aries. The things you told me last night. If you remember it, I'll give you my official reply."

"What if I don't remember it?"

"You got nothing to lost." There was a slight disappointment in his voice.

I looked up to him after he pulled away from my embrace. We exchange this weird but comfortable look for a while. He raised his hand and run his finger on my cheek then caress the top of my head slowly.

"I'm leaving." His right leg cross the door already.

"I hate waiting, so you better return as fast as you could.. in one piece.. safe and sound." I can't hold my tears any longer. Its too painful to watch him leaving.

"I hate waiting too. So you better remember it. The time I return, I expected you already remember it."

Before I could replied, he pulled me toward him and kissed me on my lips. I haven't taste him completely but he broke the kiss and rushed out, closing the door behind him.

That's the time my long contain tears stream down my cheek. I cried out loud after being hit by the reality. Damn..!! Bullshit..!! If I knew feeling in love was this painful, I prefer to hate him instead.
