later in the evening after Amber and Leon got home
" Leon when are you going to teach me gaming " she asked shyly
" ok come here " he said as he stood up to get the controls
"here have this one we will play FIFA"
"oooh is that like football" she asked curiously but excitedly
" yes now lemme explain to you how the controls work "
Amber listened carefully to what Leon had to say although she kept getting lost in his handsome face
"ok so let's play "
Leon started the game which he was really good at
Leon kept scoring almost every second and they were up to fifteen to zero with obviously Amber at zero
" Gooooaal! yeees I did it did you see that Leon I scored "she shouted as she jumped on the couch
" yeah finally " he said nonchalantly
" geez you're so mean" she said with pouted lips as she sat down
Leon pinched her cheek and laughed out loud
"Well atleast you scored something " he said still laughing
" you're mocking me wait till I get a little bit more experience I will crush you just wait " she said with a frown and pouted lips
"you know what how about we play when you get more experience cause I could sure use some competition " he said indifferent
" ok " she said feigning to be angry
" How about we play candy crush or fruit ninja on our phones those are my favorite games" she said with glowing eyes
" I don't like them they are very childish "
" Are you trying to say I'm childish " she crossed her arms around her chest and looked at him with a raised brow
"I never said that " he said as he rested his head on the couch and closed his eyes
"Anyway Leon how is my mom doing I tried
calling her twice today she didn't pick up" she said in a worried tone
He immediately opened his eyes and faced her "Your mother is in safe hands Amber I promised to help in her treatment and I will do that and more"
"thank you so much I appreciate "she said honestly
"you don't have to thank me you're also doing something for me right"
" yes but you can't compare the two what you're doing is for me and my mom is beyond words so thank you" she said genuinely
" Then you are welcome "
"Does your girlfriend I mean your ex know that I am here with you " she asked coyly
"she obviously knows "
" Leon what if she decides to leave you and go to another man within the two months "
" she won't Amber she loves me more than anything " he said sounding a little stronger than she expected
"ok I'm glad to help although I feel like the major beneficiary in this deal .....I mean I get to live in your life of luxury for two months before going back to my depressing one " Leon felt a sting in his heart he wasn't sure it was because of the words [go back to] or [ my depressing life]
"how about you teach me something too " he said changing the topic
"ok tell me what you wanna know"
"how about you teach me how to make your favorite ice cream cake "
"yes! finally something that I'm better than you at " Leon laughed at her statement
She got up and pulled him by the hand to the kitchen " let's go"
