Chapter 36

I was on my way downstairs when i heard the door bell rang. " kaii!"  I shouted. Wow. No sign of Kaii. Then i realized i was home a lone. She must have taken the day off. Great. Well, ofcourse i was going to school. Maybe i could catch the 2nd session. Oh, the door. I forgot. The person rang it again. I opened the door revealing..... The one and only Le.   ...." Leon!", i shouted jumping on him. " Hey sleeping beauty!", he shouted. I laughed. " oh my God, what are you doing here?", i asked jumping off him. " Thought, i might pay a visit", he said smiling. " And of course, i have to spend your 19th birthday with you", he said tickling me. I laughed. " You seriously remember?", i asked him. " Of course, i' m your bestfriend", he said caressing my cheek." You are indeed", i said. " I' m really sorry about your accident", he said stepping inside. " yea", i said closing the door in front of me. I turned around and he was already in front of me. Too close. " I guess there's a lot of...things you have to tell me, right?", he asked. I didn't answer him. I can't possible tell him everything, can I? . I can' t possible tell him everything, can i?. " Hey", he asked touching me. " um...i was just heading off to school, you should come with me, i mean you' re dressed for the occasion already. I' ll be out in the car", i said about to walk off when he grabbed me and pulled me into a tight hug. I swear there were tears. " It' s ok Em. I' m here now", he said rubbing my back. Well, at least someone cares, right?.

" So, i' m taking you out tonight, then and there we can talk about this?", he asked driving. " Yea, totally", i replied looking at him. I thought i might jump into another topic. " So, i see you got two extra tatoos?.", i said. He looked at me smiling." Ah yea, one has your name on it. Bestfriends 4 life?", he asked. " Bestfriends for life", i said smiling. " I like them" including your other tatoos", i said laughing. " Merci madame", he said smiling. I had to admit, Leon was hot. Six packs . whew!. But he was my bestfriend, i wouldn't go there. Plus he' s engaged to one of my old friends. Khadeja. They' re happy together. Anyways back to the description. Six packs. And tatoos were the colour of his skin.    Except for his face. He drove the hottest cars. Pretty cool huh?. I see you' re checking me out?", i said laughing. " You' re totally lying", he commented pulling up in front of the school. " You can' t park there darling, you don' t see the sign?", i asked. He got out of the car removing the sign. " No parking", from its place and throwing it somewhere else." No, i don' t", he remarked. I was about to get out of the car when he stopped me. He came and opened the door for me. I sat there laughing. " You are so crazy, you know that?", i asked getting out of the car. He closed it for me causing our bodies to meet. Shit. I looked away smiling. I could feel him gazing at me. " Blushing?", he asked smiling. " i am not", i remarked looking at him. " Sleeping beauty needs to wake up", he said smiling at me. " ok, sleeping beauty is awake", i said passing him. " Are you sure?", he asked stopping me and checking my eyes. " Yes stupid", i said smiling and walking off again. He ran up to me. " You know i love you right?", he asked " i love you too Leon", i said laughing. We walked in the school together. " The hall is empty?", he asked. " They' re in first session. Stupid", i remarked walking up to my locker. I felt when someone braced me down on the locker whispering something in my ear. Leon. Great. He just can' t control himself. " So, its just the two of us, what' s on the agenda?", he asked. I turned around looking at him. " You really should have brought Khadeja with you dude", i said smiling at him. " You really should have brought Khadeja with you dude?", i said smiling at him. " Yea, i really miss her, it' s been what?. Two hours without her. Man, she' s my life. Those curves, her beautiful eyes, skin?", he asked. I laughed at him. " Was i that that bad?", he asked. " yea, you had me beating up myself on the inside. Have i not taught you anything?", i asked.That' s when the bell rang, then there went the chatter from the high school kids. Uh. I looked at the space between Leon' s body and mine. Wow. Too close, but it really didn' t mean anything to us.That's how we were and we got use to it. Most of the time we were just running jokes. " No, you have not taught me anything", he said kissing me near my lip. Ok. This was getting too far now. He almost kissed me on my lips. I mean just an inch away. But he was running jokes. I knew him too well. But the strange thing was, he always kisses me on my forehead. He reached behind me into my locker taking out my math book. " You have math next?", he asked. " Ah, no, i have dancing class", i said pushing him off me a little. " oh well i' ll just do some math in dance class, because i can' t dance", i said.
