Chapter 41
“dude, that’s my sister”
“This is beyond pathetic girls” Jenny walked into the Lounge sitting in between a very pregnant Haley and Jess.
It had been a whole day since the guys left for Trevor’s birthday celebration and to make for time, we all decided to camp out at Leon’s big house. Yes, technically its mine too but I just don’t feel right saying it just yet.
“What, the woman is about to go into labour, her nails need to be polished and ready” Jess said lifting her head from painting Haley’s toes a lovely Pink inspired by the gender of the baby.
Jess is obviously exaggerating Haley isn’t due for another 2 weeks.
I have to give credit to Haley if I was heavily pregnant and my man decided to go on a guy’s trip, I would lose my shit.
We just needed to wait a few more hours until they returned. Jess and I had seen a few pictures of the guys in a club and having drinks and made the right decision on not letting Haley come anywhere near those pictures.
“why don’t we go to the cinema room and watch a movie” Jenny announced. Jenny was just bored; she wasn’t worrying about her man in a different country probably surrounded by beautiful women because she didn’t have anyone.
She’s bathing in that single life.
“that sounds good actually Jenny, girls help me up” Haley said suddenly snapping her eyes open. I thought she was asleep. Moving this woman is the hardest type of manual labour I’ve ever endured in my life.
I grabbed her right side whereas Jess took the other side. Jenny the skinny girl could only make sure we didn’t trip over anything.
We had successfully arrived in the cinema room. I went onto Leon’s Netflix and decided on the movie we all loved. The other woman. Leslie is my actual hero in this movie.
“stop checking your phone “Haley whispered over to me. For the first half of the movie I was constantly checking my phone for updates from Leon. He said he would text me on his way home, yet I haven’t received a single message.
He must be really having fun.
Hasn’t he learnt his lesson.
“how can I not, what if “she slapped my shoulder before the words could even leave my mouth. This is what they say about when people cheat on their partner. The lose all trust in their other half and it becomes mental battle.
I know that I have to trust Leon.
“Fine, I’ll stop” I threw my phone on the seat next to me and cuddled up with my pillow my eyes watching the big screen as Leslie sat crying in her wedding dress. Oh, how we can relate.
This morning I was being a literally freak when I was walking around Leon’s room, the master bedroom. I soon became too nosey and I was now looking through his collection on the nightstand.
My fingers ran over a very familiar box. A box that I opened on a very warm winters night. Leon had just treated me to a dinner at our favourite restaurant. I arrived home to find My driveway covered in beautiful red and white roses.
He led me into the house my hands now full of red roses. Everywhere I looked there was pictures of us. From school to now. I cringed at some the hideous pictures that he had of us. But it was a sweet gesture.
Turning around I never expected Leon to be kneeling on one knee as he held out that Black box with a deep red ribbon around it.
Thinking back to that day I realised that Leon loved me with every fibre in his body.
I grabbed the box from the table and opened it to find the engagement ring sat in the white cushion inside the box.
I had an image in my mind of Leon going to find the ring I threw at him in his office that day. What was going through his mind? He could either let me go and continue with Emily or fight for me fight for our son.
He chose the latter.
“Liz were heading off, we love you” I heard Jess whisper. I felt a warm blanket being draped over me.
I peeked and saw Haley being helped up by Kaleb. He turned to look at me. “Love you” he mouthed before leading Haley out. I guess I must have fallen asleep watching the movie.
I tried to sit up, but I felt sleep trying to tug me back down. “Sleep Liz, I’ll be here when you wake up “I heard Leon’s voice very faintly as fingertips traced my arm.
I woke up a few hours later, I didn’t quite understand where I was but as I saw the beige walls and the familiar room as the master bedroom I knew exactly where I was.
I turned around only to stop immediately seeing his large form laying beside me. Leon looked tired as he slept with his arm over his eyes.
He still had jeans on which has got to be uncomfortable in bed.
I sat up pushing my hair out of my face. I headed towards the shower and removed my makeup and took a quick shower to get rid of the sleep.
When I emerged from the bedroom Leon was rolled over onto my side of the bed. Hmm, my side I do like that.
I leant over him to get a closer look only for his arm to wrap around my waist. He tugged me harshly onto the bed causing me to lay on top of him. I could feel his warm breaths down the side of my neck.
“Enjoyed your girly sleepover at our house did you” he said placing a little peck on my neck.
Leon had to actually open his eyes when I was silent. He referred to it as our house and it just feels so good hearing it as our house again after so long.
“I’m not actually mad, I was just kidding, “he said worry etched onto his face. Bless him for thinking I needed permission to have my girls around.
I’m not the one who forgot to tell me about the guys trip.
“I know Leon, I just, It feels good to hear our house coming from your lips” Leon grabbed my face leaning into me. I pulled away slightly to really look at him.
“it’s always been our house Liz if it was up to me, I would have been the one to move out. Its mine as much as it is yours” I leant down and placed my lips over his.
I kissed him lightly, not even seconds after did Leon flip us over so now, he was the one hovering over me. he grinned sexily at me when my robe opened revealing my body to him. I only had some black panties on.
“well this is a nice surprise” he said his hands sliding around my waist. I laughed nervously wanting to get up, but he held me down so that I had no room to move at all.
“what makes you think you can wear this little thing and just leave” he smoothed his hand down my neck moving towards my bare nipple. I arched my back when he pinched my slightly.
He grinned like a maniac as he saw my reaction to the simple bit of pleasure. I had no other choice but to let him do as he pleases. He soon grabbed me whole his lips leaning down to touch mine or so I thought. He just touched my lips before moving straight to my neck.
“LEOOOON” I groaned. I felt him smile against my skin clearly proud of himself.
Well two can play at this game. I moved my hand across his back before moving it towards his waist. I felt the hardness of his belt. As soon as my fingers expertly undid the belt and popped open the button to his jeans, I felt Leon freeze above me.
“I forget how good you were with your fingers “he groaned out slightly raising his waist. He slammed his mouth down on mine when he felt my hand finally slip beneath and feel him for real.
He was moaning above me using his arms to keep him up so he wouldn’t crush me.
It wasn’t long before we were flipped again. My hand trailing down his front only for me to completely let go and jump up from the bed.
