It was about 8:00pm and Leon pulled up in front of Claire's house. He hoped

Chris wasn't there. He still wasn't used to the fact that his little sister had a

boyfriend. One smart remark from Chris and Leon thought he would explode.

He wasn't in a mood to hear his mouth too. Although Chris scared the hell

out of Leon a couple of times, he wasn't the type to stay shut. He got out of

his car and slammed the door shut behind him. He could imagine the look

on Claire's face when he told her that he quit his job. He didn't care how

she would react. He just wanted to see her. He walked up onto the porch and

rung the doorbell. He could hear someone running toward the door on the

other side. The door finally opened and there she was. She stared at him,

a smile spreading across her face. Without saying a word, she moved aside

and Leon walked into the house. "How was work today," she said, putting a

hand on his shoulder. He turned to her but looked down at the ground. "Claire

....I Quit." he said, finally looking into her eyes. Leon noticed the confused

expression on her face. "Y..you quit your job?" He nodded. He pulled off

his jacket and hung it on the coat rack near the door. "Why did you quit?"

she asked. Leon turned to her once again. "Chief Irons threatened to fire

me so I made it easier for myself. He pissed me off to the point where I

wanted to kill him. I don't want to just sit around and listen to his crap every

damn day." Claire knew that Leon hated Chief Irons. All the chief did was

put him down and Claire knew Leon didn't need that. "Look Leon, don't be

angry. Besides, I've got good news," she said, grabbing him by the arm

and dragging him up the stairs to her room. "What is it Claire," he asked

as they entered her room. She finally let go of his arm and grabbed some-

thing from her desk. She handed him what looked like a hand written letter.

The handwriting was pretty sloppy, almost like a child wrote it. He then

noticed the name on the letter and he couldn't help but smiling. "Leon, Sherry's

coming for the summer. Her aunt already brought her airline tickets," Claire

said. "He looked into her eyes, seeing that she was as happy as he was.

"t..this is great," he said happily. "I know. We're finally going to see Sherry

again." Leon dropped the letter and lifted Claire up, playfully spinning her

round and round. Claire giggled and watched as everything around her began

to spin. After a couple of spins, Leon dropped her back onto her feet. "Leon

looked into her eyes and smiled. Claire nearly melted everytime she saw his

smile. There was something about his smile that drove her crazy. He pushed

a loose strand of hair behind her ear. She felt her whole body tingle when he

touched her face. Claire suddenly wrapped her arms around Leon's neck and

pulled his face to her's, catching him by surprise. Once he felt claire's lips on his,

he began kissing back. Just feeling Leon's warms lips made her whole body

tingle once again. She began moving toward the bed and grabbed Leon's

shirt, pulling him with her. She finally dropped onto the bed, pulling Leon on

top of her. Something told her to stop but she couldn't. She didn't want to

let him go. It was like if she let him go, she'd lose him. She didn't care what

Chris or anybody else thought about Leon. She just wanted to be with him.
