That Italian Smile (manxman) *Completed*

Chapter Sixteen

        “Remember bello, meet me at my studio at 6:30,” Leo said before giving me another kiss on the cheek.

        Smiling up at him I gave him another hug while pulling him closer to my body. “Don’t be a worry wart, I’ll be there later. But since you won’t tell me what this surprise is about can you at least tell me how I should dress?”

        “Just dress how you normally would.” Well that doesn’t help. “And I will see you at what time?”

        Rolling my eyes I smiled while saying, “6:30 don’t worry Leo, I’ll be there.” After giving me one last gentle kiss on the lips he made his way over to the elevator. Once inside he turned around to flash me one last smile before the doors closed.

        Walking into the empty apartment, a slight yawn escaped from my lips while throwing my bags onto the floor. Axel and Jessie had made a slight detour to her parents’ house. The apartment felt weird being so quiet, but I knew I should enjoy it because it probably will never happen again.

        Making the short trip into my bedroom I flopped down onto the comfy bed. There was time for a short nap; it was only 2:15. After getting comfy onto the blanket beneath me, I yawned again before closing my eyes.

        What is that ringing noise? After my eyes slowly opened I looked around to see the room had become darker. That’s weird. Taking a glance at my phone sitting beside my body, I instantly jolted awake when realizing it was 6:15. “Shit!”

        Sitting up too fast caused me to fall off the bed. “Ow,” I groaned while holding my head. “Ugh I don’t have time to be hurt!” Pulling myself up on the bed, my legs rushed over to the closet, realizing there wasn’t enough time to take a shower.

        Pulling a random shirt out of the closet, I threw on a random pair of pants before grabbing my keys. Running outside I started up my car, groaning when the clock said 6:24. Hopefully Leo would be expecting me to be late, seeing as how something always seems to come up.

        Parking my car on the side of the street, I started running into the studio completely out of breath. “Well, well.” Looking up I saw the snooty woman who had almost got me kicked out the first time I came here.

        “I really don’t have time for this; I’m already late as it is.”

        “How could someone with so much class like Leo, be into someone who dresses like that?”

        Feeling my face pale I took a glance down at the clothes on my body. All the rushing around and I didn’t even notice what I was wearing. Great. My eyes widened while taking a look at my purple button up shirt which wasn’t even buttoned all the way, showing off my orange floral tee shirt. To top it off I had on a pair of faded jean shorts and blue loafers. Good god.

        “Because someone like me loves the way he dresses.” Turning around I saw Leo walking towards me, giving me a gentle smile. Wrapping my arms around him I buried my head into his shoulder while saying,

        “I’m sorry I’m late, I took too long of a nap. And I know I look like crap and I didn’t even have time to shower and-” My rant was cut off when a pair of lips were covering mine. Letting my body relax into his, a sigh escaped my lips when he ran his hands up and down my back.

        “Shh it is okay bello. And I think you look absolutely stunning.” Looking up at him I gave him a small smile before sticking my tongue out at the snooty woman giving me a nasty look. “That is all Kimberly you may leave.”
