A ringing noise of alarm made leo open his eyes. He stretched his right arm blindly in search of his phone.
By opening his one eye ,he groggily swiped his finger on his phone, effectively putting it on snooze. He turned his head to the other side, trying to get 5 minutes more sleep
It was 4 :30 am, which means it's time to do some exercise. Leo has a habit of waking up at dawn just to do some exercise. Ofcourse, his bulky and we'll shaped body is not god gifted to him , he has to work for it.
The alarm went off again in exactly 5 minutes, making Leo groan. He sat up and took the phone in his hate . He turned off the alarm.
As much as he would love to have more sleep, he is afraid that he will lose his 6 pack abs after having so much alcohol in recent days.
Sleepy yet he made his way out of the bed. Sweatpants were hanging low on his waist but he didn't care.
He made his way towards the bathroom, where freshen up himself. His eyes had dark circles around them maybe because of the events happening recently in his life.
He made his way out of the bathroom and got changed in a fresh pair of Puma track pants along with white tight t-shirt. Yes , tight t-shirt, cause he loves to show off his god like body to all the men and women out there.
He didn't combed his hair and left them a little messy ,which gave him a sexy look.
As he stepped out of his apartment , instead of taking a lift , he opt for stairs. Yup, he can we really, really serious when it comes to burning some fat .
He walked himself towards a park which was near to his apartment building. It was big enough and gave serenity feeling.
One would say as to why a young man has to wake up at this time when it is barely 5 in the morning but Leo has always been a reserved person. He don't like when the park is crowded with people, instead he would work out alone with very few pair of eyes looking at his way.
As he jogged round after round, his mind automatically thinks of his wife.
Leo hates it, he hates that he has no reason to hate her and he don't have any reason to divorce. He has to wait for the right moment and he don't know when ' the right moment' will come.
He remembers the last night conversation he had with his wife.
He don't even know why the girl got this idea. Leo wasn't frustrated because of the money he would have to spend on her but rather because of their weird awkward situation they both are facing currently.
It was weird that the girl took different meaning of his words when he was trying to say something else.
Maybe he shouldn't have shouted on her, afterall none of this is her fault.
After jogging for one hour straight and winking at the girls occasionally, Leo made his way home.
He was drenched in sweat, his t-shirt was sticking on his toned body .
He punched the code of his apartment and stepped in. A smell of pancakes hit him like a brick as his stomach growled in protest. Damn, he is hungry.
In front of the kitchen counter stood Isla . Her hair tired up in a messy hair, some strands were falling on her face making her look even more beautiful than she already was.
She was dressed in black sweater along with grey jeans , a delicate chain was on her neck.
" Good morning." She greeted with a warm smile , turning her eyes into crescent. She seemed happy.
"Good morning." Leo replied with a curt nod of his head.
" Will you have breakfast?" She asked as she pointed at the pancakes placed in the plate.
Leo awkwardly scratched the back of his neck as he replied. " Will take a shower first ." He said.
Isla nodded and continued cooking.
Soon Leo came down, dressed up in black and white suit that complimented his body completely. His black hair were still damp as a aftermath of shower. He is handsome, Isla concluded.
He sat on the stool of the kitchen as Isla placed some pancakes in his plate, wordlessly.
Isla noticed how he was eyeing the pancakes with curious and calculating glance.
" They are made up of oats." She said as she took one pancake and sat some seats away from the older.
" Oats." He asked , clearly amused to find that pancakes can be made by oats too.
" Yes. It's mom's recipe. " Isla said as she spread some maple syrup on the pancake and passed it on to her husband.
Leo did the same, although he used very small amount of syrup. He placed a a clean white handkerchief on his lap before cutting a small piece of the pancake. Isla noticed everything. Whatever Leo does, it looks elegant.
They sat in silence until they both were done eating. Isla got up from her seat and walked towards the sink, leaving her plate there.
" You don't have to work." Leo's was heard from behind, Isla turned around and saw that Leo's gaze was fixed on her. " We have enough money for that , you know." He added.
Isla stood on her place, her fingers fidgeting.
" As I told you yesterday, I don't wanna be a burden on you and this job makes me feel relieved ." Isla said, although her voice was small and barely audible, it hooded a certain determination.
" I didn't say that you are a burden on me. The situation is burdensome on both of us. You don't have to work. I promised to take care of you." He said as he hooded his hands over his clothed chest.
" I didn't asked you to take care of me." She said as she felt the need to clear herself.
Leo arched his brow at her as he stood from his seat and placed his hands in his pockets.
" Fine. Do whatever you want." And with that said, he left for his office.
