An Unexpected Kiss

"Follow me Leonardo", The grandfather stood up from his chair noisily. Leo also stood up and followed the old man with a cold aura emitting from him.

"Excuse me", The young man said and also stood up from his seat. 

Abi gulped her spit and drank her wine slowly. It was her against the whole family now. 

''I don't wanna die young', She thought in her head.

When she raised up her head to look at them and regretted it immediately. Her eyes met with Pen and she was looking at her with pure disgust.

"How much will it take for you to let Ophelia be the surrogate?", The grandmother stared at Abigail.

"I want to give birth to my baby myself", Abigail voiced out confidently.

"You wench!", Pen shrieked.

"Just because you managed to be the woman that got impregnated by my son doesn't mean you're part of us", Adrian spoke harshly.

"You're nothing", Pen backed up her husband. "Can you believe that this witch wanted to abort our grandson?"

"What?!", The grandmother roared with anger and glared at Abigail.

"No…It's not what you think", Abi tried to defend herself.

"Shut it, you devil!", The grandmother hissed and looked at her daughter-in-law to continue.

"I managed to slap her but my son called me names when he found out about it. She must have reported me to him and fed him all manners of lies", Pen cried.

Abi was surprised to hear that. When did she? How did Leo get to know about that?! They never discussed it as an important matter. Besides, he doesn't care about her, so what was her mother-in-law saying?

"Really?", The grandmother asked.

"Look here, I'll kill you if you hurt my grandson", Adrian was the most angry person at the table after the grandmother.

Abi blinked so much that she thought she would go blind. She was trying to prevent her tears from falling. She wanted to cry so bad so she told them to excuse her.

The maids directed her to the bathroom and she spent some minutes there crying. She cried silently because she didn't want to be heard by anyone.

Her makeup was ruined when she looked into the mirror. She was alarmed and was scared of going back there without touching her face. 

She didn't bring her bag with her so she decided to wash her face and go there like that. She splashed some refreshing water on her face and dabbed at it with some tissues when she was done. 

She still looked beautiful and fresh when she was done. She was scared to see Leo at the entrance of the bathroom.

"Why did you spend so long?", He asked coldly and gave her her bag.

"Nothing", She replied and took his hand.

"We're leaving", He said and walked with her to the car.

"Get in the front", He scowled at her when she tried to open the door for the back seat.

"I'm driving, dummy", He rolled his eyes and sat down.

Abi didn't say a word throughout the journey. She could feel Leo's gaze on her.

"What?", She had to ask when it got to a stage.

"Are you hungry?", He asked her and she stared at him.

"No", She lied and closed her eyes to rest. A tear rolled down her cheek and she cleaned it immediately.

Leo saw it but he didn't say anything. His grip on the steering wheel was tightened and acceleration was faster than before.

Abi walked to her room and began to cry. She wept as she stared at the mirror in her bathroom. Why did they have to speak so mean to her that way?!

Was it her fault that Leo made love to her that night and got pregnant for him?

When she was through, she was feeling dizzy and was hungry. Her battery was flat and her charger was nowhere to be found. She began to think of what to eat. Her stomach grumbled violently.

She didn't know when her feet found the way to Leo's room and her knuckles kissed his door gently.

She held her breath and knocked once again on his door. She froze as she stared at him when his door opened. She was in a gray singlet and mini short with water dripping from her hair.

What was she thinking?

From the way Leo was looking, he had just had his night bath too. He was in a plain white sweatshirt and gray sweatpants.

Abi was speechless when she saw him. All the words she wanted to say didn't come out of her mouth. She continued to stare at him.

"What do you think you're doing, Abi?", His deep voice asked.

"Huh?", Abi was back to her senses after hearing that.

"I…I need your charger", She said muttered with her eyes on her slip on.

"What?", He asked irritatedly. She was either always looking at the floor anytime she was talking to him or she was speaking with a low voice meant to be used in the bedroom.

"I need your charger", She spoke up looking in his eyes for three seconds.

"Come in", He said and frowned when she sneezed.

Abi walked in after some seconds of hesitating. The room was modern and fancy. The floors were made of shiny marble. The furniture was black leather. A huge window showed the city view. A large desk sat in the center. 

A colorful painting hung on the wall. Everything looked expensive.The room felt cold, like its owner. No cozy touches, just sleek and perfect. 

Abi made sure she had a good look at his room. She sat on his bed while he looked into his stuff for a charger for her.

She stared at his back as he crouched over. He was looking into a brown box that contained his stuff. 

His broad shoulders and chiseled back muscles were evident under the fitted white sweatshirt, which clung to his torso. The fabric stretched across his shoulder blades, accentuating their sharp definition. A subtle sheen hinted at a high-quality material.

Below, his gray sweatpants hugged his athletic build, showcasing powerful glutes and thighs. The soft fabric draped elegantly over his muscles, hinting at a toned physique honed from regular exercise.

His dark hair was perfectly messy, as if styled with effortless charm. Abi quickly looked away when he rose up. 

"I can't find a type C cord for you. Do you need to call someone that urgently?", He asked with a frown. It was late so why would she need a charger that bad? Can't she wait till the next morning?

"Yeah", She began to fiddle with her singlet. For some reason, Leo found that cute even though his coldness was still in him.

"Who do you need to call? Your mom?", He asked with worry. He was afraid that something might have happened in her home.

"No, it's Julian", A smile found it's way to her lips. "I missed his call when I was at that place. I wanted to call him back when my phone went off"

Leo said nothing and just nodded. He was glad that he couldn't find any charger to give to her. She wanted to talk to another man that late when she was a married woman.

"I'm hungry", He heard her say after a while.

Leo stared at her with amazement when she said that.

"Did you eat at the dinner?", He asked with a frown.

"I couldn't eat", She replied with a frown.

"Come here", He said coldly. Abi looked at him but she didn't stand up.

He got pissed and approached her. Abi held her breath when he held her chin and looked into her eyes. She couldn't speak and just stared at his face.

 He left her chin and took out a small towel from his stuff. He began to dry her hair with it without saying anything.

"Oh", Abi bit her lips. "I wanted to do it but-"

"You ran here to get a charger to call your boyfriend", He said coldly.

"He's my ex-boyfriend", Abi corrected him.

"Do you know how much I had to spend because of our scandal?!", He raised his voice at her and dropped the towel in his hand.

He turned his back at her and went to sit elsewhere to order some food for her.

"I'm sorry", Abi said softly.

Leo heard her but he didn't say anything. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone to the club that night. I shouldn't have even gotten drunk or walked into your room. I shouldn't have met you in the first place", She began to cry.

Leo's eyes darkened when he heard that from her. When she began to cry, he felt like a monster that took all the good stuff from her in this life.

When he saw her cry in the car, he knew his family had said many bad things to her while he was away. He wasn't there to protect her from them. He hated himself for doing that to her and leaving her helpless.

"I already ordered your favorite vanilla ice- cream from nicB with your chocolate cake and cookies", He said to make her smile but he got the opposite.

"I don't want that tonight. I want to eat spaghetti and chicken", She pouted.

Leo just took a deep breath and looked at her. "No one asked you to order that for me", She said with a frown.

Leo took his phone again and placed a new order for her.

"Why did you cry in the car?", He asked with his eyes on the phone.

"Nothing", Abi said and sniffed.

"Tell me", He demanded and turned his head to look at her.

"Why did you scold your mom for slapping me?", Abi asked back.

"Oh! She slapped you?", Leo pretended not to know because the last time he checked, she had told him that nothing happened.

"Stop pretending", Abi rolled her eyes. "They just said some mean things to me. Don't worry, it's just like what you usually say to me"

Leo frowned when he saw her try to smile even though he was hurting. He wanted to hug and tell her that he was sorry for whatever pain he had caused her.

Suddenly, he saw her hand on her boobs. She was fondling it and he had to take his eyes away.

"W-what are you doing?", He asked her while trying to keep a straight mind. Her boobs were so soft and big from the way she was touching them.

"Oh! I do this sometimes. My boobs hurt", She complained. "That's why I didn't wear a bra"

'I know you ain't wearing one, stupid!', Leo yelled in his mind.

When he had seen her outside his room, her boobs was the first place his eyes traveled to. He wasn't a pervert but lately, she had been turning him into a perfect one.

"Are they hurting that bad? Do you need Roman?", He asked because it was only Roman he could trust.

"No! Fondling it would do", Abi continued.

Leo just closed his eyes and stood up to drag her out of his room. 

"What are you doing?", Abi asked when he pulled her up.

"Go and wait for the food downstairs. It'll be here in twenty minutes", Leo said and shut the door on her face.

Abi was flabbergasted when she saw him shut the door in her face. She began to knock on the door and begged, "Leo, please open the door. My stomach hurts a lot"

Leo paused in his steps when he heard her call his name for the first time.

"Leo!", It looked like she was in so much pain so Leo opened the door quickly.

He was damn afraid when she collapsed in his arms when the door got opened. He removed the strands of hair from her face and looked at her carefully.

His heart began to beat faster and he feared for the lives of his baby and wife. He was scared that something had happened to them. The first person to blame him would be Dominic if something happens to them.

He realized he got tricked when she suddenly opened her eyes and ran into the room. He found himself chuckling and watched her take a white cord from his box.

"Thank you", She said and ran out. She stopped and looked back when he whistled.

'Shit! What's my phone doing with him?', Abi was panicking.

"I would give it to you if you promise not to call him tonight", Leo didn't know why he was interested in her love life.

Why does he care if she was calling a man or not?

Wait, was he falling for her?!

No.

That's not the case.

All he knows is that he doesn't like to see her getting hurt and he doesn't like her to be sad. He loves seeing her happy and healthy.

"Fine", She frowned and tried to take the phone from him.

"Baby!", Ophelia suddenly appeared and ran to kiss Leo on the lips after shoving Abi out of the way. Abi staggered but found her balance quickly. Her heart broke to see that sight so she just ran to her room with the cord in her hand.

Ophelia saw Abi run away with tears in her eyes and smiled victoriously. Leo had pushed her away but Abi wasn't there to see it. She was happy about that too.

"Are you crazy?!", Leo exploded with anger. Everything happened too fast. He didn't see the kiss coming. He was very pissed and had many emotions running in him.

"Ouch", Ophelia held her chest dramatically and let out a long laugh.

"We've done more than this, Leo. We've fucked many times so why does this irk you? Oh! Your wife?", Ophelia thought and let out a soft chuckle.

"She knows I'm your fiancée. She should know if she's not dumb! Besides, it's not like you like her or something. I heard her ex-boyfriend wants to get back with her. I've been doing some digging for us. I'll help her get back with her ex-boyfriend so we can make out wherever we want", She began to rub his chest but Leo flung her hands away.

"What are you doing here?", Leo asked.

"Chill! Your mother told me to come and cheer you up because your dinner was ruined because of some girl", She rolled her eyes and placed her hand on his chest again.

"Now that I'm here. Let's just have a round and I'll go home in peace. I brought a condom", Ophelia said shamelessly and took out a condom from her bag.

"I'm not doing anything with you. I'm not in the mood for this", Leo said coldly.

"Oh! Don't worry. A little touching here and there will put you in the mood", Her hand started to dive to his dick.

Leo grabbed her hand angrily. Ophelia chuckled as he dragged her out of his house.

"Your mother would be furious to hear this", Ophelia yelled in anger.

"Send her a voice note of what I did to you. Make sure you tell her to hear it with the rest of her family with a speaker", Leo hissed and slammed the door on her face.

He then went to check up on his wife. He knocked but she wasn't responding. He must have forgotten to change the passcode the last time she paid a visit but he made sure he changed it that night.

"Abi, come out and hear me out", He said softly. "She's gone now", He added and waited to see if she would come out but she didn't bulge.

"Fine. Come and get your phone", He attempted to lure her out with that but she still ignored him.

He went back to his room in anger. Ophelia just ruined his night with his stupid kiss. He glanced at the condom on the floor and threw it into the dustbin.

Abi stopped crying long ago because she concluded she was a fool to cry. It was clear that he didn't love her at all. She didn't know why she was expecting so much from him.

Her stomach grumbled and she looked at the small stopwatch on her table. It was some minutes to nine so she decided to eat.

She felt bad for the food to waste after he had bought her another food when she said she doesn't want to eat the first food he had ordered.

Her door was opened and she came out of her room. She decided the steps slowly and saw the nylon on the dining table.

She froze when she saw Leo there already. He was eating his own portion of the spaghetti and chicken. She sat far away from him and began to eat. 

She doesn't care too.

She would get back with Julian and leave her life. He can have his baby when she gives birth and take care of it with his fiancée.

They both ate in silence. Leo couldn't help but look at his wife every now and then. A normal wife would be angry after witnessing such scene so he couldn't blame her.

As she started to clear her plate, he cleared his throat and asked, "Are you angry?"

"No", She said quickly and walked towards him to clear his plate when he held her hand.

"Look at me, Abi", He requested but Abi didn't grant his request.

"Leave me alone", Abi said and walked away. Leo followed her to the kitchen and watched from the door as she did the dishes.

"It was a mistake", He said after some time.

"It's fine. She's your fiancée. I'm just someone you had to marry due to convenience", Abi smiled at him.

"I'm glad you walked into my room that night, Abi. I'm also glad that I managed to get you pregnant", Leo said quietly.

Abi stopped doing the dishes and looked at him. She doesn't get what he was trying to say but she knew when someone was so genuine with their speech.

"You're the first woman I've managed to impregnate. I couldn't be more than grateful after hearing you were carrying my child. I thought I was impotent when it got to a stage but Roman confirmed that there was nothing wrong with me. I tried with so many women but I'm the most grateful man to have you walk into my room that night to bear my child", Leo said quietly.
