I woke up the next day feeling tired. I turned and saw Leon sleeping beside me. His handsome face was asking for my touch. I caressed his face and he frowned and opened his eyes. I quickly withdrew my hands and close my eyes.
"You know we can pretend to be asleep all day long," he said, holding my waist close to himself. Then I noticed something... I was naked.
"Ahhhhhh, you pervert!" I yelled and pushed him off the bed. He fell flat on the floor.
"Ouch, what was that for?"
"You….. you….. close your eyes…. don't look!" I yelled. Leon looked at Gem, she was like a terrified kitten…. so cute. He chuckled.
"No need to cover it…. I've seen more than enough last night….. don't you remember….. you were begging me to..."
"Don't say it, don't!" I yelled.
"To….. "
"Shut up ..." I yelled.
His phone rang.
"Hello." his serious look came back"….. I'll take it now," he said and walk towards the door…. that was when I realized….I was in a hotel room "Shit." I cursed as I quickly grabbed a big shirt from the floor and put it on. Leon walked in.
"Wow…. you look sexy." he teased.
"Fuck off," I said.
"You know that's my shirt right?...." he said….. and I glared at him. "It looks good on you."
"I hate you, Ahh….." I said. "What's that?" I asked
"Oh, this…. it's our marriage certificate…." He said and my jaw dropped.
"Marriage what? who's marrying who?!"
"You are married to me now….you made a promise last night!" he said.
"It wasn't serious….. I didn't know what I was saying….. give it to me….. let me burn it." I said trying to reach out for the papers but Leon's height was my advantage….. he raised his hands while I jumped like a rat.
His hands grabbed my waist and pulled me to the wall.
"My little wife…. be good to your husband…." He teased but I started crying. Leon was stunned. "What's wrong…. did I hurt you?" He asked looking worried.
"No….. it's…. it's just….. I… " I hugged him tightly. He hugged me back.
"It's okay, I'll always be here for you… protect…. care for you….. and…. and love you," he said and my heart melted. I cried even more.
After I've calmed down and taken a shower. Leon ordered food for me.
"you said you wanted to tell me something yesterday…. what was it?" I asked.
"Don't talk while eating…." He said.
"How did you find me?" I asked.
"Kitten, you're lousy," he said.
"What if you didn't find me?" I said as tears fell from my eyes.
"Kitten….. didn't I tell you before... I'd always be there for you…. Always." he said and caress my cheeks "You're my rare Gem….. one of a kind." he said and I smiled.
"You won't even lie to me. I believe you with all my heart." I said. Leon was hurt now….he has been lying to her. He's not who she thinks he is. He is Mavis Leonel….. Leon is his short name….. he was very rich…. but he couldn't tell her. Couldn't tell her, he wanted to use her from the start.
"Are ly married?" I asked and he nodded. "Why can't I see the certificate?"
"Because I'm afraid you'll burn it," he said and I smiled.
"Why do….."
"Kitten no more questions….. just eat!" he said.
Jolene was restless and so was her mother.
"Mom but we are business enemies."
"Dear, forget that, if you win him over your father will understand." She said.
"Ah, Leon stayed in Gem's room when he was here right? I put a hidden camera in there let me go check it out."
She insert the camera drive into her laptop and played a record of Leon.
"I'm in bro, yes….. you know I'm just using her to get what I want.... good idea... of course I can make her fall for me...dude let's talk later…bye."
Jolene looked at her mother. "So he's just using Gem?"
"Let's play the other video," Marie said.
Jolene click to play "….hahaha Kelv she's easy to get….she's such an easy catch….she's falling for me already….. oh her sister…. she's quite hot….. yes talk later."
"Bravo….. Jolene….. I think he likes you already….he's just using Gem."
"What if he doesn't like me bly likes Gem?" Jolene asked.
"Well simple…. we show the video to Gem….. you know how emotional she would be...." She said.
"Nice brain you've got mom…. You're right…. I can threaten Leon with this video and he'll come to me."
Kelvin came to see Leon only to meet him on the sofa sleeping, with Gem curled on his chest. They both looked like beautiful artwork. But Kelv was mad, he couldn't annoy Leon but he also recorded it when Leon said he only pitied Gem and that he doesn't love her. He can use this to scare her away.
"Dude…." He said and Leon opened his eyes. He stared at little Gem curling on his chest, she was so cute. He couldn't help but kiss her head which made Kelvin frown.
Leon gently left Gem.
"What's up?" He asked with a cold voice, making Kelvin afraid to speak.
"It's...." Leon's phone rang. It was an unknown number, he frown and answered the call.
"Hello," he said
"Leonel" The gentle voice called out his name. Even if the world ended, he could never forget that voice…..
"Rosemary," he said in surprise but the dark era never left his face
"I'll be at the airport by tomorrow….. will you come to pick me up?" She asked still with her beautiful voice.
"And why should I?" He asked the shocked Rose.
"Leo,l,"
"I have nothing to do with you…..don't call me anymore," he said and ended the call.
"Leon...…"
"Don't You Dare Say A Word!" he roared in anger making Gem wake up.
"Leon...?" She said in her sleepy voice. Immediately his gaze fell on Gem…. Leon's gaze softened...he became calm.
"Sorry, d…did I disturb your sleep?" He asked and Gem yawned like a little cat making her cute….Leon couldn't help but smile and walk up to her.
"You yelled sounded so angry…..are you okay?" She asked with her eyes closed.
"Mm I'm fine, don't worry….go back to sleep," he said petting her back…she yawned again.
"Y…. you shouldn't fight your friend... I don't have…any b….but you have…. him…. don't fight with him.... don't." she suddenly stopped. Wait a sec, was she sleeping again?
Kelvin watches Leon being poisoned by Gem.
"I have to stop this," he said and walk out angrily.
I woke up the next morning...Leon was nowhere to be found.
I'll use this opportunity to run away from here... Leon was crazy…..how could he say we were married.
I started packing my clothes. After packing my clothes, I tiptoed and opened the door. The hallway was clear. I started running towards the door.
As I was about to open the door
"Going somewhere, little wife?" it was Leon.
"Busted…." I whispered... "Hubby….. it's you hehe." I laughed.
"You haven't answered my question." he frowned.
"Uhmm... nowhere….I was….uhmm….yes, I was looking for…..for...for you…yes."
"With a bag full of your clothes? you wanted to…."
"Hahaha... to come to see you and tell you….I need new clothes…. my recent ones are old... see?" I said and showed him a dress from the bag.
"Come here!" he said and I quickly ran to him. "You know, wifey…. you're a terrible liar…..I have to punish you!" he said…..
"But…. but….."
"Don't say anything...go inside and get ready….. or you'll be late for your scene, when we get back we'll talk about your punishment for lying to your husband," he said.
I started mumbling "Husband my ass….. no ring…. no wedding hold…. who are you calling wife…. I won't marry you even if you're the Mighty CEO Mavis..... no not Leonel... his so rich…. I'll marry him….. not you... PERVERT."
