Leo sat in his swivel chair while twirling the wine glass in his hand.
*Door knob twisted*
He raised his head to see Jeffery walking in.
"You still lack manners"
"Jeffery Chuckled"
"You know knocking has never been my thing.
"Jeffrey took his seat across Leon. So what did you wanted to talk about?
JEFFERY!!!!!!
"Jeff turned swiftly,a smile crept on his face the moment he laid his eyes on the one person who can yell his name like that.
"Baby Sister,he exclaimed with Joy. Kira run to embrace him as Jeff carried her and twirled her around.
"Leon stared with lazy eyes. A smile crept on his lips when he saw Alice walking in.
"Alice stared fascinated at Jeff and Kira.
"On the other hand, Leon wondered why Alice failed to spare him a glance.
"He stood up from his chair and walked up to her with the intention of embracing her but what she did made his jaw dropped. She took a step back and walked past him embracing Jeffery instead.
"Uncle Jeff, Oo how I've missed you. "How are you doing Baby Al?"
"I'm good". That's good to hear.
You look beautiful as ever"
Thanks Uncle" And you don't look bad yourself.
"Haha Thank you Baby"
"Hey but wait a minute, what is going on between both of you,he asked pointing at Leon and Alice.
"She is angry at me, Leo said in a low but audible voice.
" Uhrmm Uncle Jeff what did you get for me?
"Alice...Leo called.
"Seems I heard Mom calling.....Kira meet me in my room when you are done okay.
"Bye Uncle Jeff"
"Alice....Al...Al leo called out.
Gotta catch up with her, I will meet you at the table.
"Sure Bro"
"Uncle Leon"
"Not now Kira"
"But why"
Leo let out a frustrated sigh. He walked up to her and pegged her cheeks.
"Satisfied?
She nodded with a huge smile plastered on her face.
Leon dashed out of the Study and headed towards Al's bedroom.
He twisted the door knob gently and peeked through with his head before entering with his body.
"If you are here to apologise I sincerely don't need it. She said turning swiftly and throwing daggers at him.
"Al I wasn't behind....
"You know how Math is important for me,she chipped in.
"I know Baby....
"So why did you ask code to come for us.
"I understand Uncle Jeffery had arrived but you could've waited.
"Al it wasn't my doing"
"So who was it?
"Was it Daddy?
"Yh"
She bowed her head in shame and walked towards the swing in the room.
"Al no need to feel bad, I'm okay don't worry.
"Leo please leave me alone.
But Al...
I won't repeat myself, please.
Now tears started trickling down her face. Leo walked to her and turned her around facing him.
I thought I made it clear, very clear to you that I never want to see tears in those beautiful eyes of yours.
"You know how much I hate it to see you cry.
"I'm sorry leo, I'm very sorry.
He embraced her and patted her back gently.
There there, it's okay you are fine I'm here...
You can always get mad at me,I'm cool with it. Don't feel bad my Princess.
He gently helped her on her swing.
"Leo I want a Strawberry Smoothie.
"Chocolate toppings right?
"Exactly"
