Chapter 37- Revenge (part 1)

LEO POV

I pick up my phone off the coffee table and look at the time. 2:48. I let out a sigh of defeat. I really should have told Karai the truth earlier. If I had I'd be in my bed with my arms around her waist, sleeping peacefully. But I didn't and I have been laying on this couch trying to fall asleep for nearly 4 hours. I don't know what I thought I'd be able to sleep on this couch. Maybe because it's always comfortable when I'm watching tv or hanging out with Karai. Though, anything is comfortable when you are not sleeping on it, for example, a rock.

I turn over onto my other said, my back now facing the wall. I squeeze my eyes shut. Sleep, sleep, sleep; I chant quietly in my head. But sleep refuses to come.

I should just go sleep with Karai. I doubt she's up, I'll just be sure to wake up before her and walk back into the living room before she wakes. She'll never know I was in there. Great plan, Leo.

I sit up as quietly and slowly as possible, intent on not waking up my princess. I stand up and creep over to the door. I extend my hand to twist the knob and open the door. Careful.. quiet... slowly now.. Open. I didn't open it.

I take a step back as I watch the door open, Karai walking out the open door. Neither of us say anything, we just stare in disbelief. I look at Karai and notice the thick comforter in her arms. "You are coming to sleep with me?"

"I felt lonely." I smile at her response. I take the comforter from her arms and grab her hand, guiding her into our room.

We both lay down, facing each other. Our bodies are wrapped in the cozy blanket and we are only inches apart, both of us seeking warmth and comfort.

I reach out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind Karai's ear, smiling at her beauty. She doesn't need makeup to shine, she's already a diamond too rich to put a price on.

"So, care to tell me what you claim you can't?" Karai asks with a raised eyebrow. I let out a sigh. I knew that she was going to ask, and I knew that, her being my girlfriend and the mother to my child, that she deserves an answer. The truth.

"You can't be mad." I reach down for her hand and grip it tightly. I bring it up to my face and kiss it. "I won't." I shake my head. "I'm serious, Karai. I love you and I want you. I will never stop loving you, even if we are no longer together. Please understand that what I am about to tell you was not my fault and that I did not mean for it to happen."

Karai sits up and looks down at me with a suspiciously curious glare. "What the hell did you do?"

"Mona kissed me." Flat out. Woah, that felt good to get off my chest.

But that did not feel good.

I bring a hand up to my face and prop myself up on my elbow. "What was that for?!" I complain, rubbing the cheek that she had slapped.

"For kissing another girl while I'm pregnant!" Karai exclaims.

"I did not kiss her! She kissed me. I don't know why and I don't want to know why. All I want is to forget about it." I explain with harshness in my raised voice.

"Well why did you let her kiss you then? This fucking bullshit, Leo! I thought we were happy! What the hell is wrong with you?" Karai raises a hand to slap me again, but I grab her wrist tightly in mid air.

"I didn't let her. I pushed her away from me. She ran off and I haven't spoken to her since. And I don't intend to." I give Karai a stern look. "I love you and no one else. You are my world and the only thing I have left. If you want to pin this on me, then okay. But I did not kiss her."

Karai softens a bit and I let go of her wrist. I watch her as he pulls her knees up to her chest and she hugs them.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Her tone is the sound of a calm ocean on a dark night. She is betrayed and confused. I crumble under the sadness in her beautiful eyes. I reach out to caress her cheek. "Because I love you. And I didn't want my brothers girlfriend to get between us."

"It sounds really weird when you put like that." We both let out a chuckle of amusement. "Yeah, I guess it did."

It's silent between the two of us as we do nothing but ponder over the situation a that have been brought upon us.

"Leo?" I look up to see Karai looking at me. "Yeah?"

"Can I kill her?" I chuckle at her question. "No. But you sure as hell can beat the shit out of her." I remark. Karai grins at me and I smile back. "We should get some sleep." Karai nods an agreement and we both lay down.

I turn off the small lamp on my bedside table and turn to my wonderful girlfriend. I press a soft kiss to her lips and whisper, "I love you." Karai returns the statement and I play another kiss on her lips.

We both slept peacefully, all through the night. Pretty ironic, cause the next day would be the opposite from peaceful.

What will break the peace? Why did Mona kiss Leo? Could she possibly have feelings towards both brothers? Or is she playing Raph? Sorry for the cliff hanger, I will try my absolute hardest to update soon. Please review and have a nice night!
