Chapter 50 - Flowers

Shye was panting as both her and Leigh lay on the outdoor bed.

"Damn, Leo you really are a beast" Shye said as she catches her breath.

Leo laid down between the two, "Can you guys still go?" he asked while he close his eyes.

The two girls stood up and ran inside, "Let us rest a little!" Leigh yelled pulling Shye inside the house. Leo laughed and get dressed.

Leo get dressed and finished preparing dinner.

"Hey girls, dinner's ready" he yelled placing the last grilled meat on the table, Shye yelled back.

"We're still resting ourselves, calm down you beast" she yelled, "You naughty girl, I meant real food and bring Tesoro with you" Leo said as he sat down.

The two came out with Shye covering her face from embarrassment, Leo laughed making her blush more.

"Stop it here's Tesoro" she said setting Tesoro down. Leo feed raw beef to Tesoro before finally settling down for dinner.

"So what you girls think?" he asked, Leigh's eyes brightened up upon seeing different kind of meats.

"These all look delicious" she said picking up a knife and fork, Shye agreed and nodded.

As they started eating Leigh got curious about Shye. "So Ms. Shye how old are you?" she blurted out,

"Ohh I'm actually 22" Shye replied, "You're that young? That seems wrong Leo?" Leigh uttered looking at Leo, making him spit what he was drinking.

"How is that wrong? We're all adults here!" Leo emphasize, 'Well yeah but she's a student and you're like 27-28 years old" Leigh said without remorse.

"HAHAHAHAHA, It's fine Leigh. This old man treats me well" Shye replied making Leo more annoyed.

"Fine ladies you win, I'm old" he said.

Just before they're meal was finished Leo's phone started ringing.

"Where's the sound coming from?" Leo asked, "Not my phone" Shye said. Leigh pointed at the table near the grill.

"Who could be calling me?" Leo said, he stood up and grabbed the phone, it was Amy.

"Hello? What made you call all of a sudden?" he assumed as soon as he picks it up.

"The shop is so busy and investors are contacting us, although this is not the right time. We need you back here" Amy explained.

"Is that so? How are the girls?" he asked. "Their fine, just get your ass down here. Don't worry, I'll handle things about Shye" Amy confidently said.

"Okay, we'll be there first thing in the morning" he replied. A spark of fear came upon Shye after hearing what Leo said. Leigh hold her hand, "Want to go for a walk?" she asked Shye.

Shye stood up and nods, "Leo, we're just going for a walk." Leigh said. "I should come with y-" Leo was about to insist but Leigh gave her a wink.

"Okay, don't wander too far" he said sighing.

The two of them walks toward the shore, "Uhmm, Ms. Shye. I know there seems to be a problem in the city and I get that fear is lingering in your mind" Shye just stayed silent as they both sat down the sand.

"But one thing is for sure, Ms. Amy and Leo won't let anything happen to you" she emphasized, "After being with them for a while, I can see when they deeply care about a person" she added.

Tears started falling from Shye's eyes, "I keep bothering everyone" she said sobbing, "Don't think that way, they're doing this cause they love you" she said rubbing her back.

"How about this? You should return to the city tomorrow and if thing don't go your way, I'll even pick you up and bring you here again" she said assuring her.

"Really?" Shye looks at Leigh with her cute eyes, "Of course" Leigh hugged her tight.

"I trust all of them but not the public" she said, "You needn't have to trust the public, as long as you trust and believe in yourself and the people around you, I'm sure you'll be back at it again" Leigh explained.

Shye dried the tears from her cheek, "You're right". Both of them smiled as the cold breeze of the sea come their way.

After a while they decided to walk back home, when they reached the gate Leigh tried to part ways with Shye.

"I'm off, enjoy the rest of your stay here" Leigh said as she walks the opposite direction.

"Wait, you're leaving? I thought you would spend the night here?" Shye asked, "Even though I wanted to, I have to tend the greenhouse garden" Leigh said in her cute voice.

"But it's already dark, are you going to walk to the greenhouse?" Shye asked, "Yeah, it's not dangerous in this town" Leigh laughed.

"Still, wait here" Shye said running inside.

As she gets inside, she grabbed a fur coat and yelled, "Leo where are you?" she yelled.

Leo just got out of the bathroom, "Leigh is waiting outside, take her home its dark for her to walk alone" she said pushing Leo towards the door.

"Wait let me get my jacket first" he said grabbing his jacket from the coat rack, "Here, give this to Leigh, tell her it's a gift" Shye said.

"You sure you don't wanna come?" Leo asked, "I'll prepare things for us to bring tomorrow so I will stay here, plus Tesoro is with me so I'll be fine" Shye said like she was rushing.

Leo walked out and saw Leigh slightly shivering, he walks towards her and when he reaches her he puts the jacket around her.

"It may seem so hot during day but it's freezing cold at night" he stated smiling at her, "Uhmm, What are you doing out?" Leigh was confused.

"I'll walk you home" he said looking at her, "But what about Ms. Shye?" Leigh was worried.

"Don't worry, she's the one who suggested this. I think, it's unsafe for a woman to walk alone at night" he winked at her.

"Tsk, you're the one looking dangerous here" Leigh smirked then laugh. "Okay fine, Mr. Gentleman. Let's go" Leigh started walking. 

They walk for a while and they converse as they walk, "So how's the flowers this season?" Leo asked, "Well they're about to bloom in a week that's why I need get home and make preparations" she explained.

"Really? wish I'd be able to see them" Leo said in a baritone voice, "Well you could see them tonight, but I don't think they'll bloom" she joked.

Leo sighed, "Too bad will be leaving tomorrow" he looked disappointed, "Don't get too down, you gotta boost everyone's spirit tomorrow" Leigh stated.

Leo just stayed quiet, "You know what maybe, I'll send some of the flowers to your shop" Leigh tries to cheer him up.

"Wait, you would do that?" Leo asked with a shocked eyes. "You love those flowers, aren't you scared they'd dry out when it is in my car?" he asked.

"I trust Ms. Shye and you to take care of it, so yeah maybe I'll send some if they bloom" she said in a soft voice.

Leo smiled, "You can count on me" he boasts. "You should also visit sometime, we have extra rooms for you" he added.

"I'll think about it, no one will take care of the vacation house if I leave" she reminded him.

"The house can last a week without you, so when you feel like it you can visit us" Leo said in a comforting tone.

"I'll take you on that offer soon" Leigh laughed and agreed.

The two was near the greenhouse when awkward silence get to them, and then suddenly "So how many woman are you banging right now?" Leigh asked without hesitation.

"You're mouth really has no filter" Leo said, "So? how many?" she asked once more.

"Four?" he said, "Pervert" she instantly replied. Just before Leo replied they reached the door of the greenhouse.
