Andria's pov
He led me to an apartment beside the national library. The environment was quite, a place to relieve yourself of stress and connect to your inner spirit unlike the noisy busy streets.
Looking at the tall building, I assumed it was a yoga studio.
He climbed the stairs first and I followed suite. Deliberating whether or not I was controlled by a spell.
why did I follow him? I didn't know.
He didn't talk much and I appreciated it. From the lobby, I looked through side windows and saw people practicing different exercises. Perhaps, this wasn't a yoga studio only but a gym house too.
Further up the stairs, I was already exhausted. Doesn't this place have an elevator??
I let out a breathe and Leo smirked.
"why?"
He halted abruptly and turned to me. "don't tell me you're tired already"
I rolled my eyes at him. He always try to get on my nerves.
"I'm not weak dummy. how far do we have to go?" I was studying the ceiling and noticed there were still stairs unclimbed.
"luckily just the 6 stairs more" he smiled and patted my head.
I eyed him and walked away. how can he refer to those might stairs as 'just'?
Half way to the 2 stairs, he called out.
"Ria... you're on the wrong part. it's the other way."
I turned and immediately noticed he wasn't even following me. Gosh! he let me make a fool out of myself.. acting like I know the way...
I shook my body vigorously not hiding the disappointment on my face.
He winked. wait till I smack your ass! I fumed hurriedly walking down. I even skipped stairs and accidentally stepped on my foot which made me miss a step and land on the floor.
He caught me. Again!
I just stared at his bright eyes. I could see my reflection and my heart fluttered. What is this odd feeling again?
He looked lost too and the feeling of his hands around my waist made me shiver. His hair were kind of scattered and he looked cute too.
I suddenly pushed him off me and he banged his head on the wall.
He flashed me an angry look while examining his head for blood.
Luckily there was none.
"you always make me save you all the time. don't you know how ladies walk?"
He asked rudely closing the distance between us.
I moved back. I don't do ladies stuff... cause my life is messed up!
I wanted to scream but his soft eyes kept me mute, yet again.
Damn him!
"well it's your fault. don't blame me..." I rolled my eyes at.
He chuckled turning sideways. "Fine. I will take responsibility"
I could see his lips curve into a weird smirk. Responsibility? how? my mind was confused and I tried searching his face for answers when he...
The next thing I was on his arms in bridal style and he raced up the stairs in opposite direction.
What on earth was he doing? is that the responsibility? taking me up the stairs?
I tried struggling but his grip was firm.
I stared in his arms in anger. He doesn't know who he's dealing with...a serial killer. wait till I kill you.
I remained quiet in his arms and studied his face. I don't think I can kill a handsome man like him. He'd be the first handsome guy to die by my hands.
He dropped me In front of a door gently and bowed in curtsey.
Ridiculous! I knew he was mocking me.
I fired him an angry look while looking for the best word to exaggerate my anger.
"you were hurt, Missy" he turned to the door "here we are".
The door was open and I noticed eyes watching.
I don't know why but my cheeks turned red.
Entering the room, I bowed my head in embarrassment. They probably saw him carry me down...
Leo just chuckled and went over to the lady in the front.
She looked young and was pretty. Her pony tailed hair exposed her face outline well. She had dim eyes, a pointed nose and dimples when she smiled. From her accent, I could tell she was British. Her body figure was slender and she was putting on Ash colored pants.
She flashed me a smile as he introduced me.
"Guys meet Ria" he announced pointing at me.
They all smiled and waved. I just stared, this was actually the first time I was involved with so many people. I didn't know what to say.
They were up to ten in the large room.
I looked at the floor and noticed some linens. Leo found us a comfortable area and I sat down on the neat floor on top of a soft fabric.
I nervously looked around and a weird guy winked at me. I turned away immediately.
The place was well ventilated and I was told to remove my shoes.
Soon the British lady who I learnt was the instructor/teacher continued with her teaching and guidance since Leo and I posed a distraction earlier.
yoga was fun. The instructor had so many talents to showcase and I could easily connect with her. Leo was by my side all the time, helping me master difficult techniques.
I didn't like it but the instructors sincere smiles made me feel at it. I forgot Leo and decided to focus mainly on the young British lady.
It was nothing like my usual trainings in the mountains but it was relaxing. She was impressed with my moves and hardly believed it was my first time.
I blushed at her praise and I could tell Leo was impressed too.
After like 2 hours, the classes were over and people left slowly and hurriedly too.
I walked out the door leaving Leo behind.
