TAMING MR. POPULAR

Episode eight: So it's you III

Leo's POV

As exhausted as I was after the hangover since last night, I hadn't gotten over it. Something told me to go to the basketball court, it's been years since I played it.

  I creep away from the watchful eyes of Tim and secretly went it. It was like I was learning from the beginning; it takes practice and then Boom! I won my very first shot since the last 30 minutes.

But I felt someone was watching me and decided to take a look. God save my soul if it was Tim, I won't be able to escape it.
   On approaching the small bent that led to the door, it seems the person notice my movement. Almost immediately,
  That person whom I come to know was a girl, fled away before I could see the face. Her hairpin that fell down caught my attention, I bend down and pick it up. I decided I would pick it up and keep it. I've never seen such a long hair as her's; it touched her waist.

I will see you again my little mermaid....

_____ _____ _____

  Boring,
Is a perfect description of the day.

The annoying part is the fact girls couldn't get their hands of him. I went to the bathroom to ease and wash my hands. I suddenly have an erection and felt uncomfortable in my pants.

  After adjusting it,
I walked to the sink and wash my hands, the door to the male restroom flung open. I didn't bother to look up, it could be any body.

I jerk up on feeling hands wrap around my waist. Immediately I turned around.

"Chole?
What are you doing?"

"The obvious handsome." She said slickly, putting her hands beneath his clothes, he held her hands right there.

"Stop it already." I said to her wearily.

"I know you want me just like I do." She tries to kiss him, he dodged.

"But I don't want you -

" I can make you want me."

Her free hand went for his third leg, he breathe in sharply before taking her hand off him.

"Not today Chole."

"Sure.
But I'll get you.
Just the way I want." She giggled.

Shaking her buttock as she turned to leave.

He heaved, looking into his pants on seeing his own mess.

  I'm beginning to miss Tim's company so I decided to go find him.

I sighted on him, Carl and his gang. They seem to be pestering a lady probably cowering as they all surrounded her, standing in her way. I walked closer and before I knew it, like a raving bull, she pushed and knocked Carl down. Running with her head bent, her hair lose and let down.

Is that not my little mermaid?
That was so fast.

She ran into me, her head colliding with my chest.
I held her shoulder to keep her from knocking myself and her down.

Her head jerk up.

I find my smirked going broad.

"So it's you!"

Not just is she my little mermaid but also my intended bride to be.

"I'm sorry." She stuttered and tried to walk pass me, I find my hand reaching out to pull her back.

"Wait.
Don't you... Recognize the face?"
She just stare at me dumbly

"Leonard Powers."

She nodded before mumbling word. "Cindy."

"Okay uh... Cindy follow me."

She hesitantly did, walking slowly behind.
We entered an empty classroom.

"Wwwhat are we doing here?"
I heard her say, I caught a glimpse of an expression on her face which I can't fathom what it was but she seems uncomfortable.

"Come sit." I told her, she said nor move an inch. I walked to her keeping about a few inches from us. Expressing and describing with my hand, I said:

"I'm big dog.
Don't bite, bark alittle." I gave her  alittle wink. She smiled alittle showing relieve. I place my hands on her shoulder and I felt this tingles that crept it way up to my heart. This spark follow into my vein but I chose to ignore it.

"This is not something I do like everyday." I said gently placing her on the nearest chair. I went behind her, my pen in my hand, I reached out and touch her hair. Just like I imagine, it was soft and silky.

I braided her hair into two.
I smiled at the memories that flashed my mind. The last woman I ever braided hair was my mother.

A faint memory flashed my mind; of my mother on her devil rocking chair, sitting in a very relaxed position and myself standing behind her playing with her long coffee brown hair.

I suddenly thought,
This girl reminds me so much of my mother and I'm beginning to fear of what I dreaded for years. I must pull back.

The hair was braided and brought out two long wipe.

"We're done.
I got to leave now."

She nodded,
Looking at her feet.

"See you around." I bent to kiss her cheek and I sharply inhaled her body scent.

My mouth burned from that touch, my heart churn from that simple act. It want something more than that and that, I can't afford.

Love...
