What Love Is

Weaknesses.

"Hey.. "His minty breath fans my neck , large arms enveloping me. I try to fight off sleep whilst tucking myself beneath the bed covers.
" It's 3 in the morning Bob the builder"I mutter ,my eyes still shut.
"Bob the builder?... don't tell me you're dreaming of a cartoon character rather than me..ouch!"His husky voice has the same effect on me. I blink a few times.
"Hey baby" I reluctantly open my eyes ,he tugs my bottom lip gently into his mouth,I whimper in pleasure.
"I wouldn't mind waking up like this everyday "He mutters

Kayla Bear....

"Where's my breakfast in bed?"I tease and he gives out a throaty laugh.
"Miss K ,you gotta specify."He whispers and my hormones shoot up.
"Caesar ,stop it "I throw a pillow and him and he doesn't stop laughing.
"Make me"He challenges ,his eyes are a shade darker.

You just won't stop turning him on huh..
"Mr Banks , we've talked about this."I gasp as he takes off the covers , leaving me bare with just his shirt on.
"You look good in my shirt..makes me think of things I could do to you(I smirk)...but we have talked about this ."He growls , getting up from the bed.
"Marry me..." He adds , waiting for my reaction.
"It's too early to play with me Caesar"I roll my eyes.
He doesn't  move ,his gaze on me.
"Seriously..??."I gasp.
"Seriously.."He replies.
"Leo..(I mention his middle name ) ..baby , don't you think it's too soon?"I stand up , moving to face him.
" Think about it ,I have"He kisses my forehead and enters the bathroom.

Think about it?..Haha! ,Maybe he's forgotten you're still in your first year in college.

I pace through the hallway , trying to soak in what he just said.
Are you still here?
What do you want me to do smarty-pants ,run?!

......?!

What?. I turn back to see if he's done showering.
"Don't move these legs Kayla"I mutter to myself. I suddenly realize that I'm still in Caesar's long sleeves. I took my dress off last night and put it on, keeping my bra and underwear intact.
" Kayla?..."His voice echoes through the hallway.
I freeze , the cold breeze of the hallway air conditioner hits me.
"Kay ? , where are you?"He calls out .

Can't you speak anymore Mrs Banks?..
You're not helping.

Wasn't trying to.

Now that's new

Watch that sarcasm Kayla

Crazy.

Says the one talking to herself when her boyfriend is right in front of her.

You little annoyi.....
"Baby! .."I hear Caesar rave.
I snap out of my daze and hug him suddenly.

Smart way to avoid the embarrassment...hihihi

"I scared you with that statement , didn't I?...I apologise , it's just so hard to not..."
"No no no , don't say anything else Leo ,I just panicked for a second there... it's not everyday that you get a marriage proposal from a billionaire at the age of 18"I squeeze his arms and he laughs lightly.
"Kayla.."He pulls me in ,as if we're not close enough.
"I know , and believe me ! ,I want this too but I want to at least accomplish something before this happens , there's no way I'm gonna be just a housewife , Banks. I wanna  make you proud ,I want to work.."I trail off when he bites my earlobe , tracing his hands on my back.
"Caesar ,(I giggle) listen!"I huff.
"No sex till then?"He mutters in between kisses.
" Caesar.."I moan .
"Then don't start what you can't finish Kayla."He adds , stopping every activity and walking away from me.
I gape at him .
Did he just leave me in a flustered mess?.. arghh

"....Lord give me patience"I growl.

***
"See you soon babe "I unbuckle my seatbelt and childishly throw myself at him ,he  catches me , tightening his grip. I hold on to his suit.
"Miss you already."He plants a quick lingering kiss on my lips before setting me free.
"Bye.."I wink and get out of the car. He drives off and I check the time.

5:30am.
He's gonna get to work by 6am , gees..and he's the boss. I plod to Elaina's front door, already missing his touch ,scent , those soft ....
"Aniya!"Elaina opens the door.
"You're already awake?"I ask.
"Yes ,I saw the car lights through the window ,was watching this Frankenstein movie."She replies as I enter the living room.
" Ahhh yes , your weird morning routine"I chuckle at her.
"There's nothing like a good old scary movie to start the day with."Her eyes are glued to the TV screen as she settles in the sofa. Our focus is suddenly centered on Sandra as she noisily staggers down the stairs and into the living room. Her hair is disheveled , clothes wrinkled , she squints at us.
"Hey !,look you're on TV" I point to the TV screen as the Frankenstein character appears.
Elaina cackles with me.
"Ha.Ha.Ha. well played Kayla"Sandra growls.
I climb upstairs to the guestroom and freshen up.
"Kaylaaaaa!! "Sandra screams my name and I'm certain she's now wide awake.
"What!"I scream back.
"Come and check this out! Now!"
I put on a big T-SHIRT with shorts and head downstairs.
"This better be good"I scorn.
Elaina's still engrossed in the movie.
"Come here lad"She nudges me to the kitchen area.
"Sandy!"I glare at her.
"Baby girl.."She only calls me that when she's about to ask for a favor.
"No"I say.
"Hey! ,You don't even..."
"No.."I repeat.
She pretentiously sobs and I stifle a laugh.
"Fine , what do you want"
"Can we keep the car? ,I know you can't drive but I can , we spend a lot on transport for school Kay. This is a great help for us. "She wiggles.
"It's not like I have a choice ,Caesar insists I keep it."I explain to her. She runs to living room to jubilate with Elaina.
I  head back upstairs for my phone and my phone buzzes on my way downstairs.

Caesar:
Your chauffeur will be in shortly ,in case you want to go out.
I love you.
P.S: Kayla , no more taxis or buses. You're mine now.🚫

I giggle ,he read my mind.
There's a knock on the door and I know who exactly it is. Wasn't expecting a massive twist in my life ,I had lost all hope ,but here I am. Finding a new strength within and letting go all weaknesses. Caesar was here to stay ,I know that ,damn right I know.
