Chapter 13 by syaminhazam
(UNEDITED)

The clothes already piling up on the bed like a mountain. Leo jumping on the bed added up the misery that I’m facing right now.

The closet almost empty as l take out one dress, try it on and then throw it in the bed. Looking back on the mountains of clothes on the bed, I sighed.

Woman oldest problem, you can have whole closet full of clothes but when time like this strike, you feel like you have nothing to wear.

Slowly  and exhausted,  I  hang all the dress back into the closet, one by one while checking it out.

“Mummy, wear this, buddy like this colour” Leo hands out a red and black chequered dress. It is a sleeveless knee length dress.

Changing into the dress that Leo suggested, I turned myself around, checking on the mirror at the vanity table

Nice, I thought to myself. Did I try this one just now?.

Feeling satisfied with my dress, I changed Leo into a black with red dots shirt and pair it up with a rugged jeans.

“mummy, we same,” he jumps up and down before wrapping his little finger around my neck.

“Yes, my darling,” I said kissing his forehead.

Sometime I wonder how much my life changed after Leo born. It is like my whole universe revolves around him. He’s happy then I’m happy. A single tear in his eyes can break my heart into million pieces.

After putting of light makeup on my face, I braided my hair and pull it to the front. My gaze falls on Leo playing with his toys.

It is only because of him I’m doing this. The smile on his face and the glow when he knows that Marcel is coming to see him is like a present to me, invaluable gift.

A soft knock sounded on the door as I just finish putting the colour on my lip with the brightest red shade.

Walking through Leo’s maze of cluttered toy, I finally stopped my step near the door  threshold. Tip toed, Looking through the peep hole, I saw Marcel rocking on his heel as his hand tucked inside his pocket.

Taking a deep breath, I opened the door, only to see the most greyest eyes I have seen, his eyes.
I stand stunned at the door as he bend down placing a soft kiss on my cheek.  My cheek burns as my cheek turned pink.

Turning my heel, I moved away from the door allowing him to walk in. I was walking through Leo toy while grumbling asking him to clean his toys before loosing my footing on the floor.

A strong arm pulled me back, landing my back smacked against his hard rock chest, “Leo clean your toy, then we go out,” his voice sounded from my back.

“Aye Aye Captain,” Leo yelled mimicking of the cartoon he watched recently.

Shaking my head, I chose my shoe to pair with the dress.

Leo walks to Marcel after he finishes cleaning up his toys. Picking up an extra beg  I walked towards the door and locking it behind me.

Marcel wears black button up shirt with stonewashed blue jeans and he combed his hair to the back.

His red Ferrari was waiting for us when we reached the last step.

“It’s okay, you can go now and thank you,” Marcel took the key from his driver. His driver nodded to me with a smile and he walks away.

He opened the door for an enthusiastic Leo and then he opened the door for me. The light touch of his finger on my bare make my body tingles down to my spine.

He walked to the other side and closed his door.

“Thank you for allowing me to see Leo,” he said while his eyes on the road.

I nodded.

“Where are we going buddy,” Leo ask from his seat at the back.

“playground first, then ice-cream, lunch then,-,”he paused, smiling at me briefly before turning his gaze in the road.

I can smell something fishy here

“Then we play game at my house, dinner than back to your house.

My head snapped towards his side “No way Marcel,”

He smirked, “Aha, at least you call me Marcel, no worries.. I don’t eat people,” he draws my hand towards his lip before kissing it.

“I won’t” my words was cut short by Leo screams of excitement.

Marcel wriggled his brow as he gives a victorious smile.

True to his word, he drives us to his house after taking our lunch. I was like a small child as I entered his apartment.

It is a spacious apartment with 3 bedroom and a small kitchen. He then ushered me and Leo in as he locked the door. The furniture inside is impeccable and shows his taste, which is very good.

He takes out his game console, which is a ps4. First he showed Leo the right way to play before he walks into the kitchen.

I followed him to the kitchen, “What are you doing,?” I inquired as I saw him taking out few things from his fridge.

“Cooking,” he answered dicing the onion effortlessly.  He then takes off his shirt showing the rippled muscle beneath the shirt just now, before putting up an apron.

“need any help?” I threw another question at him.

Damn.. that apron he wore didn’t cover his bare chest wholly, so you can still see he bare chest and his bulging arm flexes as he cut and diced the chicken and vegetable.

“ No, just enjoy the show,” he said winking at me.

Turning my heel, I walk towards Leo who is so happy playing the game. The kitchen is already hot and with Marcel cooking, it feels hotter.

Every now and then, I look at Marcel, stealing glances. Once a while, our gaze locked on each other.

“Marcel, I need to change Leo shirt .. where is the bathroom”

He showed me the way to his bedroom after placing the chicken into the oven.

After bathing Leo and changing his shirt both of us walks into the living room. Marcel already changed his shirt and oh my, he smell so fresh.

He is doing this on purpose as if can see a ghost od mischievous smile on his face when he realize I was studying him.

We watched Leo choice of movie which is despicable me 3 before having dinner.

“Presenting grilled chicken and stir fry vegetable Ala Marcel” he served the food on our plate.

Leo was eating while complementing Marcel ood cooking skill as he slowly munched the grilled chicken.

“The chicken is really nice Marcel” I told him as I savoured the food.

Leo was so tired, he dozed off on Marcel couch after the dinner.

I was washing the plate when I felt his presence behind me. Thw smell of his cologne clouded the small space. His hand on my finger, as his chest pressed behind my back.

“Marcel,Leo,”

“He is sleeping sweet Ella,” he whispered near my ear.

His body being so close near me, sends jolts of shivers to my whole body. I bit my bottom lip as my lip trembles.

His hand on my shoulder as he turns my body around facing him. My gaze was down on the floor as he lift my chin up.

“I have seen this in my dream, living like this with you and Leo,” he tucked a strand of my hair behind the ear.

“I really.. deeply.. in love with you,” he said kissing one eye before kissing the other.

At the same time, a loud knock sounded on the door. He groaned before pulling himself from me.

“Please stay,” he said before opening the door.
When he opens the door a blonde woman jumped and kissed him on him on his lip before hugging him tight.

“I missed you baby, “ the blonde screamed.

The grip on the plate slipped as it made a crashing sound into the sink.

Marcel turned his body facing me as he shakes his head
