This chapter is a bit steammyyyy so sit tight and relax... TWO HANDS ON THE PHONE 📱

Arabella's POV

The door opens right before my eyes, a tall slim lady now stood in front of me.

She was quite pretty, I noticed her hair to be slicked back in a high pony tail and she was still in a plaid purple blazer a black shirt underneath which cut dangerously low down her chest, revealing some of her cleavage. And a plaid purple skirt to match it. She had black tights under her skirt and strapped  black heels.

her glasses sat perched up her nose as he looked us up and down, mainly me.

I felt intimidated by her, her presence radiated authority as she already stood her ground tall and looked to be in some sort of high power.

She had a iPad in her hand, she clung it tight to her side and she took a step back. "Welcome!" She smiled, showing me her pearly white teeth that glistened in the moonlight.

I stepped in the house, Leonardo hot on my trail.

The house had a dark era to it, I stepped in instantly feeling a bit weary. Small lamps littered on the walls up the stair case giving the grand foyer light on the stairs, a huge chandelier hovered in the centre of the roof.

A old pink and purple carpet sat underneath my feet, which also looked to be a old piece of work, defiantly a antique of hers.

She must really admire the olden days and what the style used to be.

"Oh my, it's been so long since I've seen you!" She gushed out and I watch as she fell into Leonardo's embrace. My face scrunches into one of jealously.

Who the hell is this woman? And why is she all up and over my man?!

She lets go of Leon, but I don't miss the way her eyes skimmed up and down his body up to his handsome face, she was definitely checking my man out.

After a second and turns to face me. "Oh and who is this?" She asked Leonardo, but I answer.

"I'm Leonardo's fiancé. Arabella." I stick my hand out she shakes it with a look of shock on her face.

A hand falls onto her hip she arches her brow. "How did I not know that you were engaged! Why did it take me this long to find out!" Her voice has a heavy English accent as she spoke.

"Oh my, well you must tell me everything later!" She demanded, and now I was really starting to wonder, who was this lady to Leon?

She turned back to me and opened her red painted lips again to speak. "Oh I'm Alexis, Leonardo and I are family friends!" She introduced herself I nodded.

"Well it's very nice to meet you Alexis." I respond trying my best to be polite, I mean I was staying at her house, but this lady was getting on my nerves.

"Very well then, I'll take you guys up to your room, so that you can settle down for the night while Leonardo and I have a chat." She said as she marched to the stair case, her heels smack against the wooden floor boards.

What?!

A chat with out me? I think the fuck not.

I give Leonardo a confused look which he responds with a warning look almost as if he's telling me to shut up and behave.

Well I've got news for you mr Marino, we will be having a chat when we get in this room.

And I will be asking my long awaited questions.

I grab Leon's hand as we walk up the stairs, he gave me a look which I saw form the corner of my eye, but I just ignored it.

I was not jealous, I was just standing my ground, he was mine. And I don't share. And it was clear to me that she liked him.
