My Choice

chapter 71

Vilu's pov

*We pulled away from each other and I looked at him, trying to hold my laugh*

V: You look funny

L: Have you seen yourself? You shouldn't use that much make up

*He bursted out laughing and after trying to be mad, I started laughing too*

V: I look like a monster

L: You're such a beautiful wet monster. Let's go inside or we'll be cold and sick

*He took my hand and led me back inside.*

L: Come with me

*We walked downstairs leaving wet spots on the floor and arrived at big wooden door. He opened and entered. I looked around and saw a large table full of papers, a two meters high portrait of the royal family next to a bed.*

V: This is your room?

L: Yes, consider yourself lucky because you're the first one here

V: And what are we doing here?

*He went to another room and came back with two towels. León threw one on me and I dried my face and hair. Then I walked further and noticed a corner with a guitar, piano and a silver microphone*

V: You sing?

L: I try to. It's one of my hobbies

V: And can you sing something for me?

L: Well, okay but you sing with me. I know you can sing and play piano so no excuses

*He took the guitar, motioned for me to sit next to him and started singing. He chose a simple, well-known song so we sang together. We didn't lose hold on eye contact. We were so close and my heat was beating fast.*

L: Your voice is so lovely

V: Th-thank you

*He placed his hand on my cheek and leaned in*

L: You are beautiful, I hope you know that.

*I was too shocked to speak. I wanted to feel his lips on mine again so badly.*

L: Thanks for a nice date

*He mumbled and kissed me soft*

V: León, I don't know if we can stay friends if you keep on being like this

L: Then let's not be just friends.
