CHAPTER 11

LEILANI

I woke to a heavy weight pressing down my middle. My eyes popped open and I was horrified to see that it's Zero's big muscled hand.

I swallowed twice and quietly swiveled my head to stare at the man beside me on the bed. I released a breath I didn't know I was holding.

Quietly and so carefully, I carried his hand away from my body and rose from the bed. He was out like a light and it made me wonder what time he came to bed.

Thank God I slept through all this.

I got up and knelt down beside him, I started my morning prayers.

I have no idea what God has in store for me but I'm still bewildered that a man like Zero would take whatever interest in me. I closed my eyes and began praying.

Several minutes later, I came out to the living room, hoping that I'll be the only person awake but I wasn't.

Zero's friend, Morris was scampering around in the kitchen. He stared at me thoroughly as I entered the kitchen.
