Chapter 24

"Finally the most important one is if I feel that you don't deserve me-"I said looking straight in his eyes, "then I want you to pretend that we were nothing but strangers."

I saw Leon gulp making his Adam's apple bob up and down. A pain stricken expression on his face. Wow, I never knew I affected him this much.

Hesitantly he nodded.

I was purposely making it hard for him to get on my good side. For one, he deserves it and two, because I like the undivided attention he's giving me. Call me selfish but there might be a chance that something will separates us again, so I want to spend as much time with him as possible.

"Okay then, for now it's all the conditions have but I might tell you others later on." I gave him a stern look and enthusiastically he nodded his head. Once I was satisfied, I allowed myself to lean into his touch and lay me head on his shoulder.

I sighed in content when Leon kissed me gently on my head.

"Thank you for giving me a chance love." He whispered softly in my ear. "I promise I will make it up to you."

Tilting my head up to look at him, I lazily smiled and said, "You can start by finishing the project."

Leon dramatically sighed, "If I must!" he said almost in mock pain before breaking out into a grin. Laughing lightly, I nudged him playfully. "Can you come to my house today and pick it up?" I asked him.

He thought about it for a second and then nodded his head. "Yes I can. So I'll pick you up after school and together we'll head to your house." He made it sound like I had no choice.

I gaped at him in disbelief. "Really?" I sassed at him with a raised eyebrow.

This devil cheekily grinned at me. "Really, really."

I scoffed at him and purposely moved away but Leon quickly held on to me.

"Okay, okay - I'm sorry!" He pleaded cutely and held me tight. His head was in the crook of my neck as he murmured, "Don't leave me."

My eyes softened a little as I tried to peer at him but his face was hidden.

Oh Leon...

****

The rest of the day passed quickly and finally it was time for me to go home. Leon and I could only spend lunch time together since we don't have other classes together. Throughout the break, Aria kept sending me looks and I don't know why - I mean, she knew that Leon and I would get back together once Tessa was out of the picture.

I sighed and rubbed my forehead as I walked towards the car park.

Sometimes I don't understand that girl.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. Plucking it out, I checked and saw it was a text message from Leon.

'Hurry up, I need to feel you in my arms like right now!'

Laughing, I rolled my eyes but quickened my pace. A silly grin was on my face as I exited the building and headed to Leon's posh car. My smile faltered a little when I saw Leon and Aria talking and by the look on their faces, it seemed very serious.

My strides slowed down when I was close enough to hear them. They both didn't notice me approach as they kept talking.

"What the hell are you saying Aria? I don't understand you." Leon said in confusion.

Aria let out a frustrated sigh. "Just be careful okay! Don't le-" Aria quickly shut her mouth once she saw me. This only made me more suspicious as I eyed the two of them.
