Mike's Big Day
Ch 4
Mike looks at Leo sitting on the couch and sighs. Libra looks at Mike and strokes his forehead.
"Mike don't worry he'll come around now let's dance during our song. Our first dance as husband and wife what a wonderful night."
Raph takes his wife's hand and they also get on the dance floor and hold one another as the song plays. Don and Angel also do the same as Raph, Don, and Casey holding one another during the slow songs.
Stephanie walks Nick out to his car and takes her nephews upstairs to Casey and April's room so they can sleep soundly. Then she walks down the stairs and stares at Leo sitting on the couch and sighs.
'I really messed up didn't I? I had a great guy and now I gave him up for a jerk like Nick. I want my Leo back but he is really heart broken I should just go and stay out of his sight for the rest of the night. That's what I'll do then.'
She walks by Libra and Mike.
"Libra I'm going to leave now. I have work at 7:30am anyway besides I'm really tired! Congratulations to you both take care of my sister Mike and don't mess up like I did with your brother Leo. Tell Riba, Angel, and everyone else I said good night bye."
She exits the house and drives back to her apartment and into her bed. She closes her light after setting her alarm for 6am. Then she falls asleep as soon as she hits her bed.
Back at Casey's and April's Leo sits silently watching his brothers and their wives dance along the floor and sighs as he drinks his soda slowly. He puts his head back and fixes his head band loosening it. Trisa walks by him and looks.
"Leo would you like to dance with me even though it's a slow song."
He looks up and takes her hand leading her to the dance floor. She wraps her arms around him as the song plays and he takes her waist. She rests her head on his shoulder and sighs.
"I know you and Stephanie were really close and that she broke your heart. Leo my ex did the same to me but I never gave up on love because it was his loss not mine. I'm ready to move on and you should to. Leo do you know what I'm saying to you? Didn't you hear what I said when you fought Karai? I meant every word I said back there."
He looks.
"Yea I do. Here's my secret I also love you Trisa and always have even though I was with Stephanie. One question though?"
She embraces him tighter.
"What's the question Leo? I'm listening."
"How would you feel if I asked you to be my girl right now?"
She smiles as she rests her head on his shoulder and feels his hands around her waist.
"I'd say yes; Leo do you really mean it?"
He leans down and kisses her on her lips and she smiles. Then she returns his approach and kisses him back and feels secure.
Mike looks and sighs.
"Yes he asked her to be his girl. I can sleep tonight without worrying about him. Thank you Trisa for coming down. "
Libra smiles.
"See honey I told you that he'd make the move to ask her to be his girl. They look so good together I'm so happy for him and my cousin. She is so much more his type than my sister Stephanie ever was! Besides she is a loyal girlfriend just like your brother is a loyal boy friend."
Raph also looks and sighs with relief as Riba rests her head on his shoulder. He grabs her waist as they dance along the floor. Leo looks in Trisa's hazel eyes and smiles.
"Yes I do mean it. I want you to be my girl Trisa I love you."
She looks in his eyes through his head band.
"Ok then I accept. I want to be your girl Leo I love you and always have."
He smiles and embraces her leaning down to kiss her lips and she embraces him and sighs.
The song ends and everyone sits down in the dining room as Mike and Libra open their wedding presents. Trisa sits on Leo's lap and he holds her waist smiling.
After the reception everyone heads home including Leo.
Trisa chases after him.
"Leo can I stay by your place tonight until my apartment is ready? I mean Mike and Libra want their privacy am I right? I am not like that and I can promise you that. I'll sleep in a separate room if you don't trust me."
Leo looks.
"I don't mind if you stay by my place till your apartment is ready. My apartment has 2 bedrooms anyway. I'm not like that at all Trisa I swear it on my honor and when I say that you know I mean it."
She laughs.
"Oh Leo no wonder why I fell in love with you. You have so much respect for women and yourself."
He smiles.
"That's just how I am. Come on let's get going then I'm so tired it's been a long day. You too everything that happened today you should be tired. You don't mind riding on a motorcycle or like I call it a shell cycle?"
She gulps.
"How fast does it go Leo?"
He smiles slyly.
"Fast enough where you need to hold on to me really tight. Don made them really fast."
She looks and sighs.
"Ok then let's go then."
Leo looks at everyone.
"Goodnight bros and Mike behave your self tonight. Be careful what you two
do."
Mike looks.
"Excuse me I'm married now! Look who is talking Leo she's staying by your place you need to be careful not me."
He just laughs.
"Yea so I'm not about to go there with her yet. Hello we just got together tonight I'm not the kind to move fast! Goodnight Mike and call me tomorrow bye bro."
Raph Jr. runs to Leo and hugs him.
"Love you Uncle Leo."
He picks him up and kisses his forehead.
"Love you to Raph. Now go on to your father it's late you should be in bed."
Raph Jr. runs to Raph and he picks him up.
"Goodnight Leo I'll see you tomorrow at work. Goodnight Trisa and thanks for telling my brother that you love him. See you two tomorrow."
Raph looks at Riba.
"We should be getting home honey. I have work tomorrow and you are having another baby you need to take it easy."
She follows Raph out to the car and they drive toward their house. Raph enters and puts the keys up on the hook. Then he takes their son to the nursery and puts him to bed kissing his forehead. He puts on the baby monitor and takes a fast shower. When he finishes he gets in bed next to Riba and falls asleep. She leans over and kisses his forehead putting her arms around him and falls asleep on his smooth chest. Raph feels her head on his chest and strokes her forehead gently.
Leo and Trisa arrive at his apartment building and he unlocks the front door. She follows behind him and he hangs his key on the hook then he locks the front door and goes in the kitchen to drink some ice water. She enters the kitchen and looks at him.
"So how does it feel living in an apartment instead of a sewer? I mean Leo face it doesn't it feel better being inside than under the ground in a sewer?"
He laughs.
"Yea it does. At least I don't have to smell sewer water when I get up in the morning like I used to. The only thing I learned about was living apart from my brothers because they are all married now. Raph and Don have a son and Mike will be a father in another month. Then I just found out Raph's wife is pregnant again with their second child."
She looks.
"Do you want to be a father like your brothers or would you rather have no kids?"
He sighs.
"Of course I want to be a father. I'll know that our generation won't just stop at my brothers kids. Trisa I took care of my brothers and father for so many years and you can see how close my nephews are to me. Why wouldn't I want to be a father? Do you want kids or no?"
She smiles.
"Yea with the right guy; I want to be a good mother like mine was to me and my sisters and brother."
Leo looks.
"Ok we think alike. Do you want a drink?"
She smiles.
"Yea Leo I do. Please pour me a glass of ice water."
He gets up and goes to the fridge and gets her some ice water from the fridge and hands it to her.
"There you go sweetie. Well I'm going to bed. Your room is right next door to mine."
She smiles and watches as he leans down to her. She looks up and kisses him.
"Goodnight Leo love you. See you in the morning try to get some sleep will ya?"
He smiles and kisses her back.
"I will sweetie. I love you to Trisa sweet dreams see you after I get off of work tomorrow at 5:30pm."
He enters his room setting the alarm for 6am and undoes his belt. Then he pulls his bed down and clicks on the ceiling fan above his bed and falls asleep. Trisa finishes her ice water and goes to check on Leo kissing his forehead and putting the sheet over him. Then she enters her room after she changes for bed and hits the bed falling asleep instantly.
