Part 5 :
Never have I blown up like that. I've never even sworn in front of them, I mean there was the occasional swear to myself about something I didn't like but no one witnessed it. I already feel better and I think that it was a nice change...finally I could get something that was bugging me off my chest. Prue was in pure shock because she actually witnessed me standing up for myself and I'm sure that she would have congratulated me if it wasn't against her.
"I see...." Prue gritted her teeth, raising her eyebrows like it was a challenge.
"Can we go now or are you going to patronize us again?!?" I asked cockily
Prue began to stand up and I for once had to get the last word in. " Phoebe will be leaving with Luke as 5 you and Andy can stay in this house ALONE!!! I'm going to be outside talking with Leo." I smiled satisfied and on my heel quickly turned away. I could hear Leo walking right behind me and I swear I heard a chuckle.
Until we got outside everything sounded like it echoed in that house because it was so quite.
I stepped outside and took a deep breath in...and behind Leo I shut the door. It felt like a thousand pound weight was lifted off my shoulders...and now that I was back with Leo alone again I could have sworn that if I didn't hold on to something I would have floated away. Leo leaned in close again and gave me another hug....I just held on tight and rested my head on his shoulder.
"See...you can stand up for yourself...." he chuckled
I silently laughed but I felt like I was going to totally break down and my seams would fall apart...I was still flustered a bit...he held me a little tighter and continued " um....would you like to get away from here for a little bit?!?" I pulled away enough to look up at him...." I.....I would really like that Leo." and I just smiled....now all he had to do was tell me that we were going to run away forever and everything would be perfect.
We climbed back into his truck and he maneuvered his way out of our drive way and headed down the road. It looked like to me we were just driving around lost but from the look on Leo's face I knew he knew where we were going, so I didn't question anything.
I felt safe, satisfied. I trusted Leo and that's all that mattered. I looked over at his clock and all it said was 4:15, I was expecting it to be much later than that but then again I didn't want my night with Leo to suddenly be over so I just prayed that the time went by really slowly. We hadn't even been driving 10 minutes and I wanted to stay away from that manor forever. I just wanted to run away as childish as it sounded...but I really didn't care...it was the truth...the only time my life was actually normal and I felt normal not like some outcast was when I was with Leo. It was just something about Leo, he just made me feel safe and secure, like absolulty nothing could happen to me....I was invincible. We didn't speak for those few moments...I think that Leo thought that I needed a minute to recuperate from the shocker I just pulled.
We pulled into a small restaurant, which wasn't really a restaurant, it was just the local Burger King but it was the only one around here. We pulled up through the drive-threw and read the menu.
"So....what do you want?!?" He wondered
"I'm not hungry but thanks."
"No I'm serious what do you want?"
"Um....just a soda and some fries." I sighed shaking my head in a reply that I really didn't need anything.
"Is that it?" he joked
I took a breath in and gave up...I wasn't going to fight Leo.. " No...um...I would like...a number 4 please"
"Ok....now were talking." he smiled as he turned to the young teen impatiently waiting for our order....it wasn't like there was anyone waiting behind us and as soon as we left she could get back to filing her nails.
" I would like 2 number 4's please." Leo said sweetly. Oooh....it was his eyes that got me, his voice and even his truck that I liked about him....there wasn't a single thing I didn't like...well maybe that he was forcing me to spend his money...but it was sweet and who Leo was...he wasn't thinking about himself like most guys....he was thinking about me.
"That will be $6.28...please pull around." The lady said dryly. I reached in my pockets, but came up empty handed...I didn't have a thing...and I thought I did...I began to feel really badge was going to pay him back...he had to know that.
"Leo as soon as we get back to my house I will pay you back I promise."
Leo looked at me shaking his head... " No...you don't have to pay me back...I wanted to do this....it's what friends are for." he said without hesitation.
