Message from Leo*
Leo: W R U?
Me: I'm home.
Leo: your sis house?
Me: yeah.
Leo: Okay, I'll come to pick you in 15
Me: I'm not ready!
Leo: it's okay

I rush drying my hair, seeing that Leo will be here any minute. I quickly put my outfit on and headed downstairs. I then see someone drive up to my driveway. It's Leo. From the window, I can see him coming to the front door.
(Ding dong)
I go and open the door.
"You're early, very early, come in," I say pointing to the couch. He comes in and goes to sit on the couch.
"Do you want something to drink?"
"Yeah, sure." He says.
"Okay, what do you want? I think I have orange, lemonade, apple, and coke. I think we have tea also."
"Can I have you?" He says smiling.
"Umm, sorry, that's not an option," I say.
"I'll have apple juice," he says smiling.
"Okay," I say.
Before I could walk away Leo grabs my hand and spins me 360 degrees. I fall on his lap.
"I missed you," he says looking at me.
I'm shocked and frozen. I just stay still.
"You don't miss me?" Leo then asks.
I don't respond. Just stare at his eyes. His beautiful brown eyes. I finally come to my senses and roll off his lap to the floor. I hit the ground.
"Ouch!" I say
"Here let me help you. You could just say you missed me too."
He helps me up and I'm embarrassed.
"You look cute when you're embarrassed."
"Haha..." I say walking away from him and walking towards the fridge. I open the fridge door and grab the apple juice. I walk over to the shelves and grab a cup.
I attempted to turn around and walk to another counter, but a tree was in my way.
"Sir do you want your apple juice?" I ask, holding the apple juice in one hand and a cup in the other.
He grabs both the apple juice and cup and puts them on the counter behind me. He then comes forward making me move backward and I'm literally leaning against the counter.
"So who was that guy, you were cheating with?" He asks.
"What guy? Cheating?" I say quietly looking down. 
"That guy? Don't act like you don't know."
"what guy?" I say quietly.
I look up at him. 
"What guy? Where? You probably saw wrong" I suggest.
"Does it look like I'm blind, I know it was you. Just tell me who it is." He says.
At this point, I'm so confused. I try to recall, cheating?

"Candy, I just want to know who he is, the guy at the deli." He says.
"Deli, Deli? Mark. Oh, his name is Mark." I say.
"So you like Mark, you forget you had a boyfriend." He asks, moving his hands on my waist. Pulling me tight.
I start laughing. "Well yeah, I like Mark. He's cute and adorable. Who's not going to love him."
I can see that Leo is low-key jealous and upset.
"But I wasn't cheating," I say.
"What do you mean?"
"Because that guy is my younger brother." I start giggling at this point. "Leo, you are funny, why would I cheat on you with my brother. That's gross." I say laughing.
Leo walks more forward to me, at this rate I'm over leaning against the counter. I am not flexible.
"I thought. I thought you cheated on me."
" We haven't dated long enough, I'm not so tired of you YET. maybe I'll cheat on you later," I say jokingly.
"Yet. I'll make it so you aren't ever tired of me." He says, pulling me closer to his face.

"Okay, I guess you don't want apple juice," I say pushing him away. I turn to grab the apple juice.
"Well, I want you." He says.
"Haha you're funny," I say putting away the apple juice.
I turn around again to look at him. Just moments ago, he looked like he was gonna cry, out of rage. I just smiled. "He looks tough, but is so soft, so precious."
"You're so sweet," I say.
"You're so small." He says.
I can't help but give him a hug. My head only reaches under his shoulders.
"So, are we going? Or not?" I ask.
"Should we go? Let's stay here." He suggests.
"Haha stay by yourself. Okay, let me grab my bag...Go wait in the car." I say letting go of him.
I quickly grab my bag and a coat upstairs and walk downstairs. I check if everything is locked and I finally head out. Leo is already in the car. I go in.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"You'll see." He says.

We drive for a while and Leo pulls into a big parking lot. From the parking lot, you can see all sorts of rides and colors.
"Are we at the amusement park?" I ask excitedly.
"Yeah." He says.
I get out of the car excited. Leo then gets out.
"I haven't been to an amusement park in the longest," I say.
"Same, the last time I came was with my mom when I was younger," he says.
" well now you're here with me," I say looking at the lights that can be seen from the parking lot.
"Yeah," Leo says looking at me.
"Let's go, have fun!" I say, dragging him along.
