LEO

Leo leaned on Calypso's door frame, enjoying the peaceful sounds of her snores. He couldn't help but feel like a stalker while he watched his girlfriend sleep, but boy was it worth it. You see, while she was awake she was far less agreeable, and always seemed to scowl. But asleep, it was like watching and angle.

"Leo, stop watching me sleep." She mumbled turning over to face him, startling Leo.

"Umm . . . I was just . . . yeah . . ." Leo said, walking out of the room.

"Leo, wait." Calypso said. Leo silently cursed, so much for a peaceful night. He turned around and walked back into the room, sitting on her bed.

Callie sat up, facing Leo, and grabbed his hand. "Leo, I think I'm ready."

Leo's eyes nearly bulged out of his head. Did she want to . . . "I thought you said we were going to wait." Leo said nervously. He started to overheat.

"Well, I don't want to wait any more. You, me, together." She pressed.

Uh-oh. Believe it or not, Leo wasn't that experienced in that department. "But I-"

"Leo, this is what I want. Plus, it wouldn't hurt to wake up to you in the morning, and you wouldn't have to watch me sleep."

Leo jumped up. "I'm not sure I'm ready to . . . do that with you, Callie." He blurted.

Calypso's eyes grew wide in surprised and her cheeks grew red with embarrassment. "No, no, that's not what I meant. I meant that I want to move in with you. Not . . . that."

"Oh." Was all Leo could say.

"Ohmygods! You thought that . . . me and you . . ." Calypso couldn't finish, she just grew more red. "I said I wanted to wait!"

"I know that! I'm just not good at . . . people." He explained.

"I can't believe that you would think that . . . gross!" She exclaimed pacing the room with her head in her hands.

"Is the idea of being with me that repulsive?" Leo asked annoyed.

Calypso stopped pacing and looked straight at him. "Yes."

"You know what? That's it!" Leo picked Calypso up and hefted her on his shoulder over to a corner with a single chair in it marked the I was mean to Leo chair. He sat her down in the chair.

"And you're going to stay there until you've learned your lesson." Leo chastised her.

Calypso gave him puppy dog eyes and pouted. "Pwease Weo? I bery sowy." She said.

"Sweet heart, you're killing me here!" Leo said dramatically and walked away.

Peaceful evening, resumed. Leo thought walking to the living room and planning to watch a good rom com or two.
