I Think I Love You.

Finally, A Break

Claire and Leon have been best of friends since their first interaction in Raccoon City, and all that chaos. They have been on a few missions ever since. Some were solo missions for the two, and some have been missions where they have teamed up.

It's been a while since the two of them have gotten a day off. Or at least a day off to hang out with one another. It was a well needed day off for both of them.

Claire picked up her cell phone and dialed Leon's number. As the phone rang, some doubtful thoughts ran through her mind.

'What if he doesn't pick up? What if he's busy? I can call back later.' Claire thought.

"Leon Kennedy." He greeted.

Claire sighed with all the unexpected air she'd held in. "Hey, Leon." She greeted. "What are you up to?" She asked as she leaned on her island in the kitchen.

"Nothing important. I'm laying on my bed." Leon answered as he yawned. "What about you?" He asked, clearing his throat.

'Sure, you dumb fuck. It's almost 11:30 am.' She thought to herself.

"Oh, um. Nothing important as well." She started to say. "Hey, do you have the day off?" She asked as her nerves started to rise.

"I actually have today and tomorrow off." He started. "What's on your mind, Redfield?" He asked as he sat up on his bed.

"I do, too." She commented. "Would you like to do something with me today? tomorrow, too if anything?" She finally asked.

"Sure. I don't see why not." He smiled at that thought. "What do you want to do?" He asked as he swung his legs over his bed.

"Gun range? Movies? Lunch? Your pick." She suggested as a light blush crossed her face.

Leon chuckled at first. "I wouldn't mind hanging out at your place for a bit."

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yeah. Hey, give me like an hour or so, and I'll be over." Leon reassured, as he finally got up from his bed and stretched.

"Oh, yeah... um, sure. See you soon." She said, hesitant to put the phone down.

"See you soon." Leon repeated as he hung up the phone to get ready.

Claire finally put the phone down and walked back into her room and picked out something to wear. A simple black off the shoulder 2 layer top and skinny jeans should do. As for accessories, she chose a black glittered belt, and silver hoop ear rings.

'I should take a shower.' She thought to herself.

She then proceeded to search for some more clothes. She picked up a nude strapless bra and a pair of black boy shorts. Claire bit her lower lip and looked at her clothing choice.

'Why am I always dressing nice to see Leon? We're not dating or anything.' She thought.

'Dating.' That word stuck to her like glue. She picked up her phone and her clothes and walked next door to the bathroom. She played some music on her phone as she got ready to shower. She usually listened to Nickelback, Linkin Park, Green Day, or some old time bands if she was in the right mood. This time, she wanted to try out more upbeat music. Claire found a playlist featuring Chris Brown, Usher, Ne-Yo, Ariana Grande, Ke$ha, and more. She let the music play, and she hopped in the shower. She enjoyed some of the songs that played, and some she recognized from past missions and events.

Claire's shower was quite short. She didn't mind, as long as she got a chance to freshen up. She then jumped out, dried off and got dressed. She decided since Leon was going to arrive at any minute, to blow dry her hair. She hated her hair wet, especially when it's down.
