CHAPTER 49: LEO'S VISIT

Nat's POV

I was busy doing work before I heard the doorbell rang.

By work, I mean shooting of course.

That's what I've been doing for the past week.

Now that Sophie was here to learn shooting too it was now becoming difficult to not shoot her head inside of the target and boy I'd be lying if I didn't say that wasn't satisfying.

Well, she was training to be the second-in-command cause I was already in line to be the leader.

I rush towards the door and open the door.

All the air knocks out of me when I see Leo standing on the doorstep.

I can't help but fling my arms around him and crash my lips on him.

I feel the fire ignite me again and I melt into his arm. I've missed the way his tongue brushes against mine and how exotic it feels. Kissing him and being in his arms feels like home.

He hugs me tighter and all the insecurity I had about him not feeling the same about me dissolves in my chest. I tug at his hair and he moans in my mouth and it's the hottest sound ever for me.

Slowly he pulls away and our breaths come out heavy.

He smiles at me and tucks my hair behind my ear.

He pulls me in for another hug and whispers in my ear, "I've missed you"

"Me too, "I say and kiss his jawline.

He pulls back and drapes his arm around my shoulder.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him.

"You don't want me here?" he asks and arches an eyebrow.

"Of course I do why would you even say that, "I say and turn around to face him.

"I came here because I wanted to meet someone very important"

"Me?"I ask and he smiles and shakes his head, saying no.

"Someone else"

"Who?"

"Someone called Felice"

"Felice?"

That's my uncle.

"Ya. Why are you here anyway?" he asks me.

"You don't want me here?"I say the same thing he did and smile innocently.

"I want you everywhere babe. Even in my bed" he says and smirks.

"Pervert, "I say and smack him on his shoulder.

He laughs and shakes his head in disbelief.

"Why you don't wanna sleep with me?" he says and it feels like the temperature in the room has risen.

"I-uh no. Sex is gross," I say and crinkle my nose and try to ignore the loud hammering of my heart.

"Is it? Planning on staying a virgin forever?"

"Maybe, "I say and look away.

"Maybe? You're dating me. Of course, I won't let you die a virgin" he says with a sly smile.

"Uh-hunh?"If he wants to play then so can I.

"What if I'm not a virgin?"I ask with him.

"You're not? But you just said--"

"I said 'maybe' "I say and laugh

"This is not funny," he says with a frown.

Jealous Leo is my new favorite Leo.

"I'm a virgin chill," I say and he looks the other way.

I'm glad this conversation ended.

"Now why did you wanna meet Felice?"

"Clan stuff," he says and moves towards the sofa on his left and sits on it.

"He's busy right now," I say.

"Okay so tell me what are you doing here?"

"I'm just here to take care of him. I'm doing a nurse course,"I lie.

"Oh," is all he says.

"What were you doing earlier?"

"Nothing"

I can't tell him I was shooting.

"Are you free now?"

"Yes"

"Is Felice here right now?"

"No"

"Are you bored?"

"Kinda"

"I have some ways to entertain you"

"No I'm good," I say and sit next to him on the sofa.

"Are you sure?"

"I swear Leo if you talk about sex anymore I will kick you out. Seriously" I threaten him and throw a pillow at him and he just pouts and shuts up.

Good.

==============

Ding-Dong!

The doorbell wakes me up from my peaceful slumber. I had been sleeping on Leo's chest with his arms wrapped around me and his head on mine. I didn't even realize when I fell asleep. He's such a comfortable person to sleep on and to be frank I've slept better today than I have in a few nights.

I rush towards the door and open it to find Uncle Felice and Sophie standing on the doorstep.

"Took you long enough"Sophie comments and I roll my eyes at her.

I smile at Uncle Felice and he smiles back before stepping in and taking his coat and shoes off.

I've grown fond of Uncle Felice this past week. He's not bad as everyone makes him. Honestly, he's one of the most decent people in our clan. I told him all my problems with Marco and Leo. Of course, he knows they're the clan leaders of our enemy clans but Uncle Felice approves of Leo, he thinks Leo's decent and won't break my heart and it was the right choice to pick him instead of Marco. Plus he's super good at shooting too.

Jackpot.

I hear a gasp and immediately rush towards the living room where Leo is sleeping--

Fuck Leo is in the living room where Sophie is right now and he's our enemy.

Shit.

As I enter I see Leo standing up and taking out his gun and aiming at Sophie. Sophie takes out her gun and aims it at Leo's head and looks at him with a grim expression.

I step in front of both of them and raise my hands in front of them, indicating them to stop.

Thankfully they put their guns aside and look at each other with hatred clear in their eyes.

"What is this bastard doing in our living room?" she asks at the same time when Leo asks, "You! What's this bitch doing here?" with venom laced in his voice.

I look at her and then at him.

He raises an eyebrow.

"He's my boyfriend Sophie and Leo she's my cousin, "I say and wait for the sharp intake of breath.

"You know I'm dating her! And I know she's your cousin Nat. She told me about this when she supposedly came to'help me'" he says.

"What?' Help you'?" I ask him and glare at Sophie.

"Yes I went to him and I know you're dating him, you dumb cow. What is he doing HERE?"

"I came to meet Felice" he answers before I could.

"You mean Uncle Felice? So the leader of the gang we hate came to meet one of the most important members of our clan? You expect me to believe that?" Sophie says and scoffs.

"Uncle Felice?" he says with a sharp intake of breath and looks at me.

I just stand there dumbfounded and he says, "So that means that Nat you're a member of the Albergo clan? Sophie's your cousin and she just called Felice 'Uncle Felice'"

"Yes I'm a member"

"What the fuck? Have you been playing me all along?" he raises his voice at me.

"No," I say the same time Sophie says "Yes"

"She's not just a member. She's the soon to be l--"she's about to say when Uncle Felice steps in and coughs, indicating that she needs to shut the fuck up.

Thank you, Uncle Felice.

"Natania Albergo", Leo says, putting two and two together.

He turns to leave and starts walking towards the door.

"Leo?! Wait," I say and rush after him.

"Well he deserved to know," I hear Sophie say and it takes every ounce of self-control not to turn around and smash her head against the wall.

I open the door and see Leo walking not to ahead of me.

"Leo!" I call out to him but he just walks faster.

I run after him and pull his arm so that he has to face me.

"What Natania? Here to kill me?" he says with coldness in his voice.

"No! Why would you even say that?" I ask him but he just turns around.

I pull his arm again and he looks at me with no emotion in his eyes.

"Please lemme explain Leo--"I start when I see Marco approaching us and I stop speaking and look at him with fear clear in my eyes.

"My least favorite person with my least favorite person number two.. What a sight to behold," he says which causes Leo to groan and Marco to smirk.

I just look between them and I can do nothing but wait for the next bomb to explode.
