Leo never spoke in front of Rosa about Eva. even when Rosa saw them fight that day he took her room and asked her to wait for her mother Rosa was young at the time she didn't understand what happened that day. but she is no longer that young child she is a young lady a very beautiful one too.
Leo smiled hearing her question " Yes. " he replied
" Did you forgive her," she asked.
" No. " he replied and saw her frown. Leo now what she was thinking " Now you are wondering what exactly happened between Eva and me. am I right "
" Yes. but you dont have to tell me if you dont too " she always felt that Leo didn't like to speak about Eva.
Leo stayed silent for a few minutes be for he started to speak " I met Eva when I was in high school we fall in love or to be correct I was the one who was in love in that fake relationship. for eight I was in love with her she was everything to me I cherished her. but I was wrong Eva never loved me she was only after the money. " Leo paused for a moment taking a deep breath
" I discovered that the day that I found out that she was pregnant and had aborted the child. I couldn't stand to look at her or hear her voice from that day it's like all the feelings that I had for her had disappeared. "
" I'm sorry. I... " Leo cut her off
Cupping her face he placed his forehead on hers " Dont be sorry. you may not know this but you were the one who saved me, Rosa. you being in my life had brought back the meaning of happiness to me. I know its selfish from me to say these things but I need to say it even if it is. "
Rosa stared at him with confused eyes. the way that Leo spoke with right it wasn't the usual tone that he speaks with to tease her. she gulped softly as she stared at him she could feel that her face became very hot and her heart was beating fast.
" Rosa. what's wrong? " Leo asked when he saw her staring at him without saying anything
" I... Its nothing. " Rosa smiled nervously
" Did I said something that upset you? " he runs his fingers through her hair as he asked. Rosa felt that she was about to suffocate if he keeps on staring at her like this.
" No. it's just that I feel sorry for you that you had to go through all of this. " Rosa wasn't lying she was shocked when heard what Leo said. however, there is something that she didn't understand " But if you don't love her why are you going to marry her? " she asked
She saw him close his eyes and sigh " Because her father and my father are friends. uncle Antonio is like a father to me and his health is not doing very well I can't tell that about everything that happened. "
" But what about your happiness? this is not fair. " Rosa said as she sat up on the bed. she was feeling very bad for him
Sitting up too he spoke " What if I told you that you are my happiness. " he whispered his face was very close to her face that she could feel his breath on skin.
Rosa blushed forcefully hearing his words she looked down trying to hide her face.
she looked up when she heard him chuckle " Silly girl I was only teasing you. go back to sleep I have some work to do. " kissing her forehead Leo left the room
Rosa who was still in shock hadn't moved from her place. she touched her face and felt that It was very warm. his words kept on repeating in her head she took the pillow covering her face with trying to calm herself down. Leo had gone so far with his teasing this time she thought.
