Chosen by Karalina >Book 2

Chapter 8

Leonardo pulls me to the back of the house laughing after our dance like teenagers up to mischief. "Want to go for a ride?" Leonardo asks me.

I smile and nod knowing exactly where we going to. "Definitely."

We surprisingly walk pass our normal small boats. I look over to him curiosity evident on my face as I crease my forehead. "It's a surprise."

"Of course you planned this." I roll my eyes.

We in a much bigger boat then usual. More like a small yacht. "Make yourself comfortable." Leonardo says motioning for me to go down the steps into a cabin. There are white couches lined out around the cabin with a mini bar in the Centre.

"It's so cute down here." I yell admiring the space while Leonardo steers us further onto the lake. A few minutes later he joins me looking a bit nervous while I wait on the couches. "You know if you wanted to have sex with me we could've just gone to our bedroom."

He stands across from me leaning against the bar. "I actually didn't plan on having sex with you today. But if you offering?" He looks at me expectantly with a devilish smirk and I bite my bottom lip smiling at him.

I notice how tense he actually is standing so far from me. "Whats going on? Why did you really bring me here?"

"I know I said when you get out of hospital we will talk, about everything. It took a bit longer." He trails off

"No kidding." I offer him a small smile. "What do you want to talk about?"

He stretches out his hand for me to take and I place mine in his. As he pulls me up I knock lightly into his chest and he looks at me like he wants to kiss me, but changes his mind and leads the way up onto the deck still holding my hand. "You want a drink?"

"No, thank you. But you go ahead."

"I notice you not drinking so much."

"Doctor says it's bad for my memory."

"Ah, the memory. I've been thinking about that alot. It's really that important to you, yes?"

"It is, but we not going to talk about that. We moving forward." I say moving my hands infront of me for emphasis. "But I am curious about something though."

"What's that?"

"If I was married, am I not still married to him or how does this work?"

"Don't worry, I took care of it." He actually seems sincere, maybe we will be okay after all.

"So legally, we are married?"

"Yes. Legally everything is on your name too. Legally your name is Karalina Demarco." He breathes out.

"Why do you say it like that?"

"Like what?"

"It's just the way you said it."

He looks at me with a smile. "Because legally, you are married to me and nobody else."

"Okay. Great. That's good. How exactly did you take care of it?" I ask like the nosey person I am.

He looks at me with a solemn look. "Karalina, do you still want to be with me?" He changes the subject.

"What? I love you." I say as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. And it should be obvious. Hello, I've done so much for this guy.

"I didnt ask you if you love me." He says

"I know.. How can you ask me that? I don't see my life with anyone else." I state matter of fact.
