" Leon?" I called out wondering what was taking him so long.

'"They're all gone ," he whispered hoaresly.

" What? no, "I said slumping in my seat.

"I'm sorry babe," He said leaning over to kiss my neck.

" I am on the pill," I said looking up.

" You are?"

" More for .. femine reasons, but?"

"Works for me," he said grinning, and once again it was on.





We left the club throught the bathroom window, not wanting to be known as the couple who'd escaped to the bathroom for over a half hour. People would know as soon as we stepped out what had been going on. The thing I loved the most about Leon was his gentlness, he was always considerate of me, like I was some china doll. Afterwards he'd wiped me down with warm paper towels, and helped me dress before taking care of himself. I fell asleep almost as soon as the car lurched into motion.

"Come on baby, were here," he said shaking me gently.

"Hmm?"I asked rolling over. Smiling at my sleepy face he lifted me up.

"I got you ," he said carrying me across the threshold married style.

"I'm to heavy," I said waking more as he hit the stairs.

"No you're not shh," he said kissing my lips. I smiled up at him as I rembered the events of a a few minutes ago.

"I love you," I whispered smiling.

"And I love you," he said kissing me on the forehead as he quietly opened our door with his foot.

"Where the hell have you guys been?I 've been waiting her forever to say I was sorry," Jess said shattering the after glow to pieces.

"Come on man, we're tired, " Leon said holding me just a little bit closer to his chest .

"Where were you?" he asked eyeing us suspiciously.

"None of your business,"I mumured sleepily my hand over my eyes.

"We'll talk tomorrow Jess, you need to leave now," He said wanting to set me down so I could sleep, but not while he was on th bed. I knew he was dying to see if I was ok, It had been along time for me, and he hadn't been all that gentle.

The raised voices brought V, L, and Emily to our room.

"What's going on here?" V asked rubbing his eyes.

"Jesse won't leave dawg," Leon siad shrugging his shoulders.

"You need to leave ," V said sighing, sick of his childish antics.

"Come on Jesse, you don't need to be in here," L said sighing.

"Don't tell him what the hell to do!" Emily snapped causing my sisters head to snap up. My mouth dropped open as she slung out her hand and slapped her across the face. L rarley lost her temper.

"I've heard enough from you to last me a lifetime," She said glaring at the girl who had covered her already swollen lip with her hand. Jumping up Jesse left grabbing Emily's hand and taking her with him.

"You all right?" L asked looking at me closley.

"Yea,"

"Are you sure.. something seems off..." Her words trailed off as a grin spread across her face . I felt my face flush as realized she knew. I dont know how , but we had some kind of sixth sense when it came to each other.

"Come on V , let's leave them alone, theyr'e tired."

L

Although I didn't entirely agree with the whole sex before marriage issue. With LAd I could understand it. She's alwayd needed that extra love, something I couldn't giver her. That total adoration from a male figure. She' never had it really , cause our Father acted like he coudlnt's tand the very sight of her.



"You ok?" Leon asked sitting with me on the bed.

"Yea, just tired," I said yawning as I stretched.

"Let's go to bed," he said tossing off his shirt and pants till he was only in boxers. Following suit I tossed my shirt near the hamper, and pressed myself against his warm back.

"Comfortable?" he asked laughing at my boldness.

"Yea," I said laughing. " No use in being modest now that you've seen it all" Throwing my arms around him I snuggled closer as I drifted off.
