Chapter 37 - Tesoro

Leo came out of the vet clinic holding a small animal crate.

Shye gets excited after seeing what Leo was carrying, she was so excited to see what's inside. "Is that a dog? a dog?" she repeatedly said.

Leo put the crate at the back of the car, just before Leo got inside the drivers seat he heard a sharp scream.

He rushed towards his seat, "Wha- What happened?" Leo said worried. "There's a cat on the back" she said looking frightened.

Leo laugh hard, "It's just a small cat, what's to be afraid of it?" Leo said trying to calm himself down. The cat move towards Shye's lap making her scream louder.

"Calm down he won't hurt you" Leo said as he gets the small cat. Leo placed the cat on his lap, "Look he just sits there" he said calmly.

Finally Shye settled, "I thought it was a puppy so I opened the cage" she said sobbing. "He's gentle like me" Leo said winking before putting the cat at the back seat.

"So where are you taking me?" Shye suddenly asked, "Faraway" Leo said as he steps on the gas of the car.

"But I still have school" she said worried, "I'll think of something later" Leo said assuring her with a smile.

Hours passed and Leo was already tired of driving, he noticed the cat climbing on Shye's lap who was asleep. He just smiled and continue driving.

After another hour of driving, Shye woke up with the sound of waves crashing. She looked out the window and saw the beautiful sea, she was about to move when she noticed the weight on her lap.

She silently scream, "Leo, where are you? Take this fur ball away!" she whispered.

"Shhh Calm down and put him on the back seat" Leo whispered back.

As she gets down the car she felt the hot breeze through her face, then Leo came to her holding a small umbrella. "You must've missed last summer vacation" Leo said holding the umbrella.

She just nods with happiness seen in her eyes, "Let's enjoy the sun?" Leo said taking off his shirt. "Wha- what are you doing?" Shye was startled. "Enjoying the sun duh" Leo said bluntly.

Shye rolled her eyes and took out her phone to take pictures of the beach, Leo pouts.

"Stop taking pictures and let's swim" he suddenly said, "You go swim, I'm not in my bathing suit" she answered.

"That's it" Leo was impatient, she grabbed her phone and throw it inside the car. "Wha-" she was about to nagged at him but Leo suddenly grabbed her legs and carried her bridal style running towards the water.

"Wai- Wait Leo , I can't get" she was not able to finish her statement when Leo threw her at the water "Wet!" she yelled at him.

Shye was wearing only a white long sleeve, a short and a black underwear underneath them. She looked at her clothes and saw her underwear seeping through.

She covered herself because of embarassment, "Damn you Leo!" she yelled at him, "No need to worry its just us here" Leo said splashing water at her.

Shye suddenly realized what Leo had said, she took off the long sleeve and her shorts, she used the long sleeve to tie her hair up, "You're dead" she cursed at him.

Leo was distracted by her round breast, "Huh?" with his mouth opened, a big splash of water woken him up to reality. "Hey it got in my mouth" he said while Shye celebrates.

The two played in the sun for a while,

After all the fun the two rest at the back of the van, they sat there as the sun sets.

"Leo" she said separating Leo's attention from the setting sun, "Why?" as Leo looks over her, she grabbed his face and gave him a kiss on the lips.

"Thank You" she said sincerely after their lips parted, "I'm here for you" Leo said smiling, "And also this guy" Leo said grabbing the small black cat.

It made Shye laugh, "What's your name little guy?" she said as she flips the name tag.

"Te-so-ro?" she read it confused, "Yeah Tesoro" Leo said patting the purring cat. Shye jumped off the back of the van and stood in front of the sunset.

"Leo, Thank your for doing this for me" she said as she gazed on the setting sun.

"Shye!" Leo yelled her name holding Shye's phone taking a photo of her, as she turns his head back Leo snapped a photo.

"Smile!!" he yelled in a distance, Shye panicked and gave an awkward smile, "AHAHAHHAHA smile naturally, Think of what makes you happy" Leo yelled again.

Them playing in the water played in her mind and a soft smile came out of her slightly red lips.

Leo snapped a photo with him distracted to her smile, after a few shots he puts the phone and run towards Shye. She was confused so she ran away from him.

Shye managed to run far away but Leo catches up to her and grabs her waist and lift her up in the air. The two laughed hard as they play, Leo was twirling her around when he stumbles upon rock and fell.

Leo fell on her back and Shye fell on her chest, they both stare at each other deeply, "You're grey eyes shines" Leo said sincerely as his gaze goes deeper.

As the setting sun goes down completely they're eyes were still locked on each other,

The cat suddenly meows as darkness covers the whole beach, "I-I think Tesoro is afraid of the dark" she said awkwardly standing up and dusting off the sand off her legs.

"Y-yeah we should go" Leo said with awkwardness in his voice, the two of them get inside the car, Shye grabbed Tesoro and sat him on his lap.

"I thought you were scared of him" Leo said, "I mean he was gentle just like you said" she said softly running her hands on the cats head.

"Shall we go?" Leo said, "Go where?" she asked.

"To my vacation house" he bluntly said,

"VACATION HOUSE?!" She was shocked
