It's been two weeks since Leo has left. There is only 15 more days until he comes home to me.

I've been spending lots of time with Tessa and Harland. It's been awkward when they go on dates and invite me.

I know they just want me to feel welcomed and not lonely while Leo is gone but I honestly feel more anxious when I'm there rather than alone.

Don't get me wrong I absolutely love both Tessa and Harland but on their dates? Really?

I'm sitting in my bed now eating pancakes and mango with a glass of lemonade.

The sun glared through the crystal glass from the bright blue sky.

I imagine Leo standing there staring out the window at the awakening morning.

I smile as I take a sip of lemonade. I look in the direction of where I imagine Leo.

He stands there as the muscles from his back flex. His sweatpants following the shape of his legs perfectly. The band of his boxers slightly showing over the band of the sweatpants.

I miss him so much. I take a deep breath through my nose of the room. I allow the musky scent of Leo to enter my senses as I continued to imagine he were here.

I grab my notebook and begin writing in it. The warmth of the room comforting me as I move the pen around in the page making words.

So far I've got 31 chapters. Took me awhile and I hopefully still have much more to write.

My bedroom door opens and I look to see who is entering.

I see Tessa standing there completely dressed and ready for her day.

"Hey babe!" She exclaimed and rushed over to me.

"Hey Tess." I smiled warmly.

"Want to go out with me today? I want to go shopping!" She smiled giddingly.

"Of course! Oh my good I need new clothes." I replied with my answer.

"Perfect! Now let's get you ready." She pulled me out of bed and pulled me to my closet.

We are now standing in Leo's bathroom as Tessa does my hair.

"So what's that notebook your writing in?" She raised a brow as she continued to focus on my hair.

"Nothing." I smirk.

"Hm. We will see is it's nothing or not one day." She playfully punched me and we shared a laugh.

"Ok! All done!" She gave me a pat on my head and put her hands on her hips to admire her work.

I held up a hand held mirror to see what the back looked like.

It was a braided bun with lots of style hidden in between the sections of hair.

"TESSA!" I exclaimed.

"What? It can't be that bad? Is it that bad?" She pouted.

"No Tessa! It's gorgeous!" I jumped with excitement.

"Really!? I didn't think you liked it."

"Tess, this is amazing, have you ever tried being a hair stylist?" I turned back to face her.

"I always wanted to be one but now I'm here. And now I'm with Har. Which by the way isn't a bad thing." She giggled.

"Really Tess, this is fantastic. From now on your doing my hair." I grinned with wit.
