Forced to Marry the Devil

Chapter 5

Leonardo woke up to the feeling of someone trailing kisses from his neck to his torso.

Teresa? He thought. He opened his eyes to find out he was looking at Sophia. Sunlight was streaming from the window on the side of the bed onto them.

What time is it Sophia? Leo asked sternly.

It's about to be 11. Why? I thought you said you didn't have any work in the office today. I even took a day off, she replied. Oh and why the hell were you saying Teresa's name while we were making love and while you were sleeping last night?

Just because I told you that I didn't have work in the office today, it doesn't mean that I don't have work at all! Leo thundered, completely ignoring her last question, getting out of bed and putting on his boxers that he found lying on the floor beside the bed.

He found his cell phone and unlocked it. Holy crap!!!! I'm so dead!! he thought. There were 10 missed calls from his father and 14 from his future father in law.

Sophia!! How could you dare to forget that you're my PA?! He thundered again on Sophia. His frown made her so scared that her hands began to shake. She knew how Leo became when he was angry. She had been his PA for a year now, as well as his mistress.

Leo, I didn't mean to. I just.... I just thought that.... I.. I don't..... know... she stammered.

Enough! You had better show up in my office tomorrow morning for work. On time. I won't repeat myself woman, you don't own me and neither am I in love with you that I'll take out my valuable time for you. You have no right over me, Leo said angrily as he quickly got dressed and made his way to his car, leaving Sophia scared and alone in her apartment.

He dialed his dad's number as soon as he got in his car. Dad, were you calling me?

Oh no son, I was calling your mother in heaven came the angry reply. Leonardo braced himself.

Where the hell were you, you blooming moron?! You bloody idiot, you have to attend a meeting with Garcia. Or did you forget all about it? Eduardo yelled. He was beyond furious at that moment.

Dad, I...I Leo began. Enough! Get your pathetic ass to the Garcia mansion right now! And don't make me more pissed than I already am boy, growled Eduardo .

Lorenzo looked at his phone for what he thought was the umpteenth time, finally Leonardo texted him, telling him that he'll be at their house in an hour. He was hoping to discuss the marriage contract when Teresa and Leonardo were together.

Child, go and eat something, even though you're not hungry. Leonardo will be here soon. I will discuss the contract then. I'm sorry I kept you waiting. I thought Leonardo would show up on time as his father had promised, said Lorenzo, eyeing Teresa who was playing with a paper weight on his desk.

Let me know when you want to see me father, came the reply.

Teresa went down to the kitchen to find her mom putting a chocolate cake in the oven.

You missed it, sleepy head. She said, you can lick the spoon though. Oh and breakky is in the microwave.

Once she was settled, Teresa kept staring at her food. It was a mini pizza with a smiley face on it made with from pepperoni slices. Mom, how old am I? She asked trying to keep a straight face when mentally she was giggling like a 2 year old.

Well, let's see. You are 24 years old according to your father.

And according to you?

According to me..... Rosalina began, coming over to where her daughter was sitting at the kitchen counter, ....you're still my 5 year old baby with two golden piggy tails tied in pink ribbons, she said, tickling Teresa and making her squeal just like a little girl.

Ohmygosh.... ohmygosh mom stop! Stop! Someone's calling me she squealed, hoping that her mom would let go of her using that excuse. Her eyes fell on her phone, oh my goodness someone really is calling me, mamma let go! she managed to breathe out under her mother's playful hold.

Who is it? Let me see? If it's you're fiance then I'll start yelling embarrassing things about you from the back. He does need to get to know you, you know her mom said in her accented English. Teresa wished she had such an accent, but unfortunately she was a pure Anglophile except for her name and her choice of food.

This is your worst nightmare come true speaking, Teresa I am coming to kill you, said Teresa's caller when she picked up.

Oh shut up Selene, you sound so girly when you do that. Get a sex change operation and then you can threaten me all you like. Or be like that guy from 'Scream'. Teresa was delighted, she hadn't spoken to Selene for a long while, she had been worried about her best friend. The last time she had seen her was 6 months ago when they both took a road trip from the Garcia mansion in California, to her uncle's farmhouse in Texas.

How have you been? Where have you been? Where are you now? Is this your new number? Mom's listening in so I'm putting you on speaker. Won't you come over and see us? What made you remember me after so long? You couldn't even leave me your number, Teresa kept firing question after question onto Selene without giving her a break.
Woah, easy there chikka. I'm in California. I'm staying at my aunt's place. I had lost your number. I'll come over tomorrow, I need something from you, but I'll tell you that tomorrow. This is my new number so don't forget to save it. I finally found the piece of paper on which I had written your number stuck inside my suitcase. And.... lemme breathe.....I'll answer all your questions tomorrow okay. Don't you dare go anywhere, replied an exasperated Selene. Oh and how are you Mrs Garcia?

Oh my dear I am good. I wanted to rapid fire questions at you too but since you're coming tomorrow, I'll grill you by your ears then. Rosalina replied jokingly.

Oh you, just wait till I get my hands on you. I will strangle you for shutting me out this way. 6 months is a long time! Teresa yelled at her friend.

Oh comeon, who's my favorite Latina? Teresa is! I have to go now, but I promise that I'll come over tomorrow okay, said Selene, hoping Teresa would understand why she had not contacted her for so long. She desperately prayed that Teresa would help her find what she was looking for.

Okay, I know my previous two chappy's were too short. I hope this one makes up for it :D
