I was ready.
When we got home that afternoon, I was ready to tell him everything. Believe me, it took me 30 min in the bathroom trying to see and measure the pros and cons.
In the end, the pros were more than cons. For instance, he would stop living in darkness and life full of lies. And most importantly, I would be free.
In the car, we were not alone. His dad was in the back seat with us. He wanted to see November, before he went home.
I glanced at Leon who was driving the car smiling like a kid who just had the best ice cream in the world.
"What are you smiling at?"
"I just feel happy, that's all." I felt bad for what was going to come to him soon.
We got home shortly after and I stayed behind to tell him that we had to talk.
"Yes, I know that we have to discuss some things. That is why I prepared for the trip."
A what??
"To where?"
"It is a surprise. Now go and get ready, we are leaving today." This, of course, ruined the plan because how am I supposed to announce to him that shocking news when we were on a trip to God knows where!!
I had to reschedule.
I left him talking with his father and went up to meet November on the way. She was dressed in this beautiful baby blue dress hugging her body and reaching her knees. She had a white purse and matching shoes.
She looked like a grown up lady and not the 17 year old girl she was!
"Going out?" I asked, eyeing her skeptically.
"Well, yes. Omer invited me to dinner." A smile crept to my lips immediately.
Seems like my hard work didn't go to waste after all. I am so proud of myself.
"That's great, but make sure to come back early." I was warned.
"Yes, ma'am," she said, saluting me as she ran downstairs, colliding with her father who shouted a 'watch where you are going' behind her.
Leon continued to talk with his father and I entered our bedroom to pack for how many days? I don't know.
I missed my mom. I couldn't call her because she and Emily were not on good terms after that disastrous day. So, I avoided that, since I was Emily for the moment.
I grabbed my suitcase and packed my stuff. I made sure to pack at least for three days because I doubt if we will be spending more than that after he had just signed the best contract. An hour later, I was done. I took a shower and decided to rest for a while, but because of tiredness I drifted off to sleep.
🎗🎗🎗
He told me we were going somewhere nearby, but we had been sitting in this car for four hours and my whole body was stiff due to staying in one position for a long time.
"Would you stop shifting every damn second? You are making me nervous." He said suddenly and I glared at him.
"It's not my fault that my body is stiff because of this long trip!" Then he chucked.
"Don't make fun of me, I am serious."
"If you could see yourself pouting like a 5 year old child."
Before I could say something, I saw the sea.
It was reflecting the rays of the sun creating a beautiful scenery before my eyes.
I hadn't realized that Leon had come out until he called me from outside. I tore my gaze from the scene and got out of the car.
We walked a couple of meters and we arrived at the port. My heels were killing me and I removed asking myself why I wore them in the first place.
Oh I remember! It was because I was wearing this white dress and since I only possess one pair black heels, I wore them before they became too small, to go with the white dress.
Leon, on the other hand, was wearing a white shorts and T-shirt and sandals.
With heels in my hands, I tried to keep up with him. He was on the phone talking to someone. He stopped suddenly and as clumsy as I am, I collided with his back.
Obviously, I tripped but he caught me before my poor ass could reach the hard ground.
"Eager are we?" He mocked me and I wiggled myself out of his grasp only to hold me tighter.
"Can you stop being stubborn and aggressive?"
"Then let's get going." He let me go but grabbed my hand and we continued to move forward.
A man in a uniform came to us and saluted Leon.
"Is everything ready, Kendal?"
"Yes, sir. Have a nice trip." With that he left and Leon led me to this yacht that had a name in another language. Melek. Angel.
He took my hand and helped to board the yacht.
When I went inside I was amazed. The inside was like a house.
The walls and the floor were wood that had a color that could fool you that it was golden. It had white couches and a coffee table with some color as the walls. The roof was white and contained small lights illuminating the whole place.
I was caught off guard when the yacht started moving and I gripped one of the couches to prevent me from falling.
When I got stable I sat in one of them that faced the front and watched how Leon maneuvered the wheel taking us to the end of the world.
I couldn't explain how I was feeling. Happy, contented. Like this was where I wanted to spend the rest of my days.
As if sensing that I was watching him, he turned around and gave me a heart melting smile.
What I was feeling was completely new to me, and I was afraid. Afraid that I had fallen for him when I knew I hid dark secrets.
