In The Enemies Arms

Rise

CLARA

I woke up similar to how I did everyday, the bright sun beaming on my face telling me it was time to start my day. Yet I groaned and rolled over into the hard log next to me. Leo lay next to me, his eyes hidden behind his tanned closed eyelids. His hair was as dark as the night and wayward. I loved it like this, it was so quiet and peaceful.

My brown eyes stared at the huge man next to me in admiration and awe. How did I ever get so lucky? 'Stop burning holes in my head sweets' he rumbled, rolling over, away from me. A small giggle left my lips at the slight annoyance in his voice. Now he knew what it felt like when he woke me up for something mischevious

Swinging my legs from the bed, I stretched like a lazy cat before walking towards the bathroom. My morning showers was something I looked forward to the most. The warm sensation of water cascading down my body whilst scrubbed the sleep from my body was the greatest blessing. I thanked God everyday for this gift of life. Something I once cursed frequently

I stepped out of the shower and carried on with my daily routine. My face and was now washed and creamed, and my teeth now sparkled a lovely white. My hair was dried with the hair dryer Leo had bought me when I first arrived here. I smiled at it fondly, before allowing it to blow hot air. After completing my daily routine, I exited the bathroom to find my lazy boyfriend asleep.

'Leo!' I groaned loudly, now it was my turn to be annoyed. It was 9 am and it was time for us both to start our day. I had a lecture at 10:30 and there was no way I would miss it. 'Leonardo! get your ass out of bed right now!' I instructed in a strict tone. The long childlike groan that left his mouth made me snicker before he arose and trailed to the bathroom

'you are so lucky I love you kitten...' he complained before going into the bathroom to follow out his daily routine. I shook my head with a bright smile on my face, before collecting my bag and heading downstairs. 'Hi Liquor' I greeted, he nodded his head at me, acknowledging my presence. He was always awake at this time and was behind the bar cleaning it and counting the stock. He really loved that bar

I skipped into the kitchen, with a prep in my step. 'Good morn' greeted Armz. Armz was always awake at this time, mostly because Leo and he would hit the gym for an hour after he dropped me to university. 'Good morning' I smiled sitting down at the breakfast bar, I watched Armz cook up some eggs and bacon. My stomach growled at the delicious sight.

'don't get any ideas, this is all mine' he smirked greedily but my narrowed brown eyes instantly showed him not to play with me and my food. 'Fine then, Jeez! Ill share some' he groaned before placing some on a plate for me. I licked my lips hungrily before devouring the delicious food. 'Where's the Prez?' he asked in between bites.

The question made me roll my eyes, Leo spent as much time getting ready as a pageant queen. 'Probably upstairs powdering his nose' I stated sarcastically, scarfing down the food. We carried on speaking as we ate before we washed and packed away the dirty plates. 'Ergh! Where is he!? I am going to be late at this rate!' I complained

'Leo!' I hollered up the stairs, before he came into view. He had a long tired of face, one that looked annoyed that he was awake. It took so much in me not to laugh. 'Don't even think about it' he scolded as he walked down the stairs. I wouldn't change my life for the world.

I held on to Leo tightly as he speeded through the busy Californian roads. The city was bubbling with life today, it was still warm and light out. The humming of cars and the warm breeze filled my ears as I watched everything around us disappear in a blur. This was when I was at peace. On Leo's back, not caring about where we were headed but more happy that we were together.

The hot black metal beneath me sent thrills up my already flustered body, each rev sent another warm flush through my body causing me to tighten my grip on Leo's thick leather jacket. He smelt so good, the warm metal and his outdoorsy smell invited me, making me snuggle into him more.

The bike started to slow down, and that is when I realised we were at the top of a hill. He slowly parked the bike before taking off our helmets. I only watched in adoration, his full thick beard hugged his tight jaw, showing the fierceness of his piercing eyes. His nose was slightly crooked but in the best way, and his tan warm skin. 'Hmm' I moaned to myself as his thick fingers traced my scalp.

'Clara?' he asked attentively. His eyes now staring directly into mine. I had zoned out completely, not hearing anything he had said to me. 'did you hear me?' he asked me again, I was staring at him but it was as if I was deaf. All noise was not being calculated by my brain as I stared at this God of a man.

My chest rose and fell as my mind fell further into fantasy. Thinking of all the filfthy things we had done together in the past, the fornicating and love making. 'Clara?!' Leo announced louder this time, snapping me into reality. 'Sorry' I blushed profusely, ashamed that my mind was in the gutter.

The warm air stroked my cheeks, and brushed my unruly curly hair. 'Leo' I whispered exasperated. This man was pure perfection. Everything about him was a heavenly dream. From his looks to his amazing heart. Our souls aligned, together we were a force to be reckoned with.

'Promise me one thing' I said, grabbing his face in my small hands. His nose was now against mine. I sat on one side of the bike, both of my legs off of the ground but in between his. His strong arms were next to my waist, whilst his hypnotising eyes stared into mine.

'What is it?' He breathed gently. I stared into his luscious eyes as if it was the first time we had ever seen one another. 'Promise to love me forever' I breathed back, my lips inching impossibly closer to his. A soft smile adorned his lips before he gently melted ours together.

Our mouths fused together like opposite energies before he pulled away. 'I promise you Clara Duru Arslan, that I will love you until kingdom come'
