Waiting for the sun (Leondre Devries)

Leo's pov
Y/n saw it. She knows I was writing about her. After I pulled away, she pointed at herself with a flabbergasted look adorning her features. She looked surprised when I nodded. Of course I was embarrassed but didn't show it. Tried to look confident. Good thing y/n didn't see the page taped to the back cover. That was Carla's song. Love To See Me Fail. Even when we were together, she hated to see me succesful. But only when we split, did I have the nerve to write.

Y/n pov
I spent the rest of my day talking to Leo. I finally figured out where I know him from. I asked him what he did for a profession when something in my brain jumped out my mouth.
'BARS AND MELODY!!!' I screamed.
'I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!' Before adding 'not in a wierd way'
This is THE LEONDRE DEVRIES. And I was talking to him.
When I got up to leave, he touched my arm, leaving a warm tingly feeling when he left it.
'Where are you going?' He asked, sounding upset.
'I've got to work, ya know. Not all of us can open our mouths and have people throwing money at us.' My reply came. He laughed and asked if he would see me tomorrow.
'Wait. Can I actually have your number? Umm if you don't mind.' He sounded unsure in the last sentence. I felt my face warm and I took my phone from pocket. He entered his contact as 'Leo the lion 🔆🔆'. I giggled at that. To match him, I decide to name myself 'Princess ♥️❤️💕'.
'Bye Leo.' Escapes from my mouth as I leave.
'Bye Princess, miss you already.' Eeeuuuuggghhh this boy could make me blush more than he should be able to. He put a smile on my face for the rest of my day.

My shift at the coffee shop is three hours; half four till half seven when I close up. It had been pretty uneventful today. And to be quite frank, I didn't mind. Not when I had more important things to think about. You caught me. Those 'things' may or may not be Leo. But he doesn't need to know that.
I am suddenly made aware of someone else's presence at the counter and I pull my brain back to now.
'What can I get for you today?' The sentence automatically forms from my lips without me having to think about it. I walk to the till to take their order.
'May I have one Princess. She's the perfect height with the most stunning y/e/c eyes and a capturing smile, able to mesmerise you with one glimpse. I've been let to believe I could find her here?' Of course. Why didn't I guess. Well two can play that game.
'Sorry. I think your thinking of next door. I hope you find the girl you're looking for. She seems very attractive. And amazing.' I smirked at him, then taking him by the arm to the closest table and seating him down opposite you. Unintentionally, i just stared into his eyes for a while. I got lost in the shape. The colour. Nutella was branded in my head. Aaaahhhh Nutella. OOOH NUTELLA. MARCUS WAS GONNA BRING ME NUTELLA. YESSSSSS
Wait. Didn't Leo love Nutella? The thoughts would randomly pop into my head, each one triggered by the one before. I jumped up immediately. Leo looked confused. But when I came back two minutes later with two mugs, he became exited. Bringing it to his lips, a smile formed on his lips when Leo recognised the drink. Nutella hot chocolate.
'While you were busy, someone dropped something off for you.' He said, pointing to the counter.
I was pleasantly surprised.

Aahhhh Marcus is amazing. One day he will make a guy very happy. He really does believe in true love and has gone through guys like I go through shoes. Fast. He's not a player, just trying to find a guy. But there's not as many gay guys as you'd think in our area.
I'm snapped out of my daze by Leo placing his mug down. Already half finished!!! I lift mine to my lips and start to drink. Faster and faster till I think I might be chugging. Oops. But now both our drinks our finished, I take the mugs out back and wash them. It's closing time now, Leo gets the hint and stands, waiting for me. I empty the till and do all the other stuff before taking Leo's hand and stepping outside. I only have time to lock the door before the cold hits me. Like a bus. A massive double decker one.
Once more, I take his hand, but only to warm myself up. I think.
'Where do you live.' Leo asks me, concern laces his voice. He seems to have picked up the fact that I don't have a jumper on.
'It's like a half hour bus ride away...' I moan.
'Come to my place. We can warm you up.' A smile erupts on my face.
