He quickly stood up, disbelief written on his face.
"Angel, I-" He didn't get to finish because I quickly threw my hands around his torso and hugged him.
The side of my head rested just a little under his chest and I could clearly hear his erratic...

Yesterday's night was the best night of my life. I haven't slept this good in a long time. Thoughts of finally tasting my little flower helped me sleep.
I didn't even want to get up from my bed. The only thing that made me wake up was the fact that I'm going to see her again.
I sit up and rub my face when I hear a knock on my door and Eleanor walks in.
"Leo, sweetheart, what would you like to eat?" I hear her loving voice.
In case you forgot, Eleanor has been my house keeper, my cook and everything else for my whole life. But I treat her more as my grandmother.
"Whatever you make is fine." I say while getting up.
"Hmmm. You're in a good mood today." She raises her eyebrow and smiles mischievously. "Is it because of a girl?"
I turn to her. "Actually yes. I have a girlfriend." I say in a carefree tone.
She clasped her hands together and laughed warmly. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? I want to meet her!"
"Eleanor, you are getting too excited for your age. And besides, I don't think she would want to come here, so don't push it." I say sternly.
"Why is that?" She pouts.
"She's scared of me. Actually no. She could pass out just from hearing my name." I scoff.
"Well, if I didn't know you for almost 19 years, I would be afraid of you too." I raise an eyebrow at her. "But, I know you're a good kid. And she will realize it soon enough too." She smiles.
"People should be afraid of me. Everything is easier that way and I actually like it, you know that. But I don't want her to be afraid of me. But how the fuck do I do that?" I ask Eleanor, frustrated.
She chuckles. "You like this girl. The right thing to do is give her space and be honest with her."
"You know better than anyone that I can't do either of them." She sighs. "If I give her space and leave her alone, my enemies can take her. And you know I can't be honest with her." I lay down and put my hands behind the back of my head. "Your advice sucks."
She smiles warmly. "Invite her to dinner sometimes. I will make whatever food you want. I want to meet the girl that has won the heart of my little boy." She says teasingly.
"I'll think about it. Now go make my breakfast, I'm starving."
"It'll be ready in 15 minutes!" She screams already out of my room.
That old woman. I swear she's even more energetic than some people my age.

I see Bella locking her door and heading to me. Yesterday after I dropped her at her house I told two of my men to keep an eye on her. I also wanted them to keep it low key, but of course they had to fuck up.
