Chapter 7
“Estas preciosa” he whispered moving his lips towards my ear. My eyes widened hearing the endearment from his lips.
I decided that saying anything more would land me in dangerous waters. Too deep that I would struggle to surface.
“This is fooling everyone but me Charlize. I will spend each day trying to win you back, I made the biggest mistake letting you slip from my fingers” he said moving his face closer to mine. With his words I felt his lips moving against my cheek.
“you say slipping through your fingers but surely Leonardo that would suggest that you were even holding on” I managed to reply not forgetting to whisper into his ear my lips teasing him.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
I definitely got the reaction out of him.
“sell all the cars you want, but you’ve lost me and you’re going to have to live with that” I said before removing my hold on him and turning around.
Jessica was dancing with another man as I walked past her.
She shook her head with disbelief that I even had the guts to that in the first place. Honestly, I think I surprised myself more than anyone.
Trevor POV
“Oh boy” I muttered watching Leon’s eyes follow after Liz as she walked seductively away leaving Leon to only watch his first ever love leave him.
I wasn’t lying when I said I had nothing to do with Leon’s affair. Yes, I may have had my moments in the past but with the way Liz loved that man I just never could imagine him doing that to her.
I followed after Leon going into a private room far away from the room where everyone was. He was pouring himself another glass and downing it like a shot of vodka.
“Mate, drinking isn’t going to get her back” I said grabbing the bottle from him. My words seemed to really piss him off.
“Get who back, Liz” he laughed “I’ll be lucky if she even looks at me again, have you met Charlize you just don’t get away with shit like that” he spat at me with anger. Well I’m glad he understood that.
If anyone knew Liz it would be this guy. High school sweethearts, Liz has never loved any man other than her father. She knows Leon and Leon only.
“it’s not about getting away with it, its about making it right. Women like Liz don’t just come around everyday” I said. Initially I thought it was a good thing to say but from the murderous look Leon gave me and the way he held me by my throat against the wall I regretted it instantly.
Abort mission Trev.
“so, what now, you going to take her for yourself now, do you want my Liz all to your fucking self” well since you asked.
I’m kidding.
Liz is cute or whatever but Jessica, now that’s my kind of girl.
“Lee man you know it’s not like that” I said pushing him away from me. he’s strong but not as strong as me I do double time at the gym whilst he’s working on more ways to fuck up his life, just saying.
He let go of me quite easily actually I was surprised.
Leon suddenly was darting to the door peeking out. I faintly heard the music coming through, as soon as I stood behind Leon I heard her voice.
Fuck fuck fuck, I thought as we both stared at Liz looking so fucking elegant sitting on a seat next to the orchestra with a young boy.
She was singing, she hasn’t done that since high school I mean that’s how she caught the eyes of my wing man over here.
If you listen to the words you could rally feel the emotion in them, she meant the words and there was no guessing who those words were for.
But do you know me at all, someone told me love controls everything but only if you know….
I don’t want to fall in love if you don’t want to try. Is all that I’ve been thinking of … is maybe that you might.
If you don’t want to try
Baby it looks as though were running out of words to say and love is floating away.
wont you staaaay, won’t you saaaay
she made sure to look directly at Leon. She needed no words. Her eyes told it all. She meant every fucking word.
Leon’s POV
I smiled as I passed people in my office as they couldn’t help but stare at the little guy as waddled around their desks being the curious little guy that he is. I spent the last two days with Jason, my boy since my mother in law suggested that Liz have a few days off.
Something about her getting her book published.
“He looks so much like you” Lucy who was the oldest of my employees says as she stands by the printer.
I look down with pride. I made the mistake of not spending enough time with him but I’m not going to mess it up now. I knew that if I wanted to even have Liz by my side again, I would need to start with our son.
I made a huge mistake and I want to be the husband and father she was looking for. Seeing the way men looked at her the other night was not something I took pride in. It only fuelled the fire that was within me.
“Make sure to book me in for a viewing tomorrow” I told Gerald who was my personal estate agent. He was just finishing up editing one of his videos on the camera I bought for him.
Gerald was my newest edition to my life; straight out of university he wanted a job in marketing to help with my various campaigns. It took him 3 months to come up and tell me what he really wanted. He was working to get his real estate license.
“Already done Leon, you’ve got one at 11. 30 at Blandford avenue” he told me typing away at his laptop.
Can always rely on him.
After a brief meeting with marketing we decided to get Gerald a camera that would improve the quality of his videos because it would not only help him but also help us with more exposure. It’s a win win.
I waited by the door as Jason continued to bathe in the attention from the women inside.
Soak it in son.
Once he slipped through the doors, I picked him up and placed him into my range rover with his car seat as we got ready to head home in time for Liz to pick him up.
She tried to keep her distance, but she watched all of the videos I had sent her.
When I was driving through the streets, I decided to stop at Liz’s favourite doughnut shop. She probably wouldn’t take any but I’m more than sure that if I left them on the table, she would grab one.
In our early stages of our relationship I would always get her doughnuts because I knew she loved them, it was only right that she craved them when she was pregnant.
I really don’t know why I even stopped.
