Calli's Pov...
It's been two years since Leo and I have become an official couple. Leo and I have never been happier and more in love with each other ever since I went through my mutation and turned into a turtle like him. It did took me awhile to get used to my new look, of seeing my reflection in the mirror everyday, but I eventually warmed up to it. My life now was starting to get better and better since the day of Yani's death. We would go on patrols together as a family, go on amazing adventures, and have some cherishing memories. Every time I'm with Leo or with anyone in my family, a crack that was deep in my heart slowly starts to heal with the happiness and love that I'm surrounded by. I knew eventually every crack would be filled up again and my heart would be healed once again.
It was a warm night in June and I was making dinner while my brothers and my love were finishing up training with Splinter, since I finished my training early. I was chopping up diced tomatoes and parsley on a cutting board getting ready to make the sauce for the dish I was preparing. But as I slid the tomatoes and parsley into the pot and I started stirring it around, I felt something behind my shell. I then felt something warm touch my shoulder and hip.
I froze up as I felt a hand stroke my hip in a circular motion softly and I moaned softly then I felt another hand stroke my shoulder. I then felt a pair of lips kissing my cheek and I giggled closing my eyes, realizing it was Leo, finished with training. "Hey you", he said, softly
"Hey love", I said, giggling
"How is my little Precious Gem?", he asked, kissing my temple
I giggled with a smile from his affection towards me. "I'm doing quite well", I said "I'm just preparing dinner, what about you?"
"Just finished my training and I'm here now with my lovely girlfriend", he said, snuggling his head against my cheek
I giggled and he rubbed my hip more with his hand. I moaned softly and I felt Leo's hand slowly slide up my side till it got to my shoulder and I felt his other hand entangle into mine that was resting against the counter top. Leo's hand that was at my shoulder massaged it softly. I moaned quietly and I felt Leo press his lips to the side of my neck. I moaned more and I moved my head up so he could have more room to explore. He kissed it gently on a few spots and I giggled and moaned softly. Leo then moved from my neck then up to my cheek several times and I giggled as he wanted me to turn my head and kiss my lips. I smiled and I slowly turned my head towards his and we kissed each other sweetly. We pulled away after a few moments and we gave each other a gentle nuzzle to the snout. Leo then sniffed the air of what I was cooking for dinner.
"Mmmmm something smells good, what's cooking Calli?", Leo asked, placing his hands on my hips
"I'm making homemade spaghetti and bread sticks for dinner", I said "Italian style"
"That's sounds good" Leo said, smiling "Well anything you make is good"
I giggled and smiled up to him. "Thanks sweetie", I said "Can you please help set the table? This will be done in just a few minutes"
"Sure thing", he said
I smiled and I pecked his cheek as he walked off and grabbed silverware and napkins and placed them on the table. After I finished making the sauce in the pot, I drained the water from another pot cooking the spaghetti and I scooped them out and served them on the plates. I poured the marinara sauce on the noodles. I put on an oven mitten then went to the oven and pulled out a tray of fresh hot garlic bread sticks. I then put one bread stick on each plate and I balanced two plates on my arms, two in my hands, and one on my head with balance and precision.
I then came out of the kitchen singing the traditional Italian cooking song towards the dinning table. The boys were laughing at my goofy behavior and I laughed along with them as I continued singing. I spun around and placed two plates in front of Donnie and Raph. I then flexed my arms out where the two other plates were on my arms into the air and landed in front of Mikey and Leo. I then bounced my head up and spun around sitting down, then my plate went flying up into the air and landed in front of me. "Wallah!", I said, in a funny Italian accent
"Best food serving of the week!", Raph said, starting to eat
"I am honored!", I said, giggling in a funny voice "Thank you!"
I did a little bow sitting down, then we all started laughing. We then got to eating dinner and I kept getting seductive glances from Leo from a distance across the table. I giggled quietly and I blushed pink my cheeks and I heard Leo chuckled softly. I shook my head and I rolled my eyes playfully. We then continued on eating and after everyone finished I took the plates as Raph left the lair to go ride around on his motorcycle, along with Mikey who left to go do his Sewer Hour show in the jeep around the city. Donnie went into the laboratory to go finish up some kind of invention he was creating for patrol.
As I gathered up the rest of the dishes I walked towards the sink, but then Leo came up to the side of me and he took a hold of the dishes in my hands. "Let me do it", he said
"No Leo it's okay, you do too much for me", I said, smiling
"I know, but I love you too much", he said
I smiled and I pecked his lips. "How about we do it together?", I asked
He chuckled. "Fair enough", he said
I giggled and we both started cleaning the dishes. After I finished drying the last dish I stacked them up in a pile and I placed them in the cabinet above my head. "Well that is all done", I said, brushing my hands together
"You know what time it is now?", Leo asked, with a romantic smile
"No what?", I asked, giggling
"You and me time", he said, kissing my cheek while hugging me around my waist
I giggled and I hid my head in between my shoulders blushing. "Oh right how could I could forget?", I said, giggling "Always after dinner time"
Leo chuckled and he kissed my snout and I smiled up to him. "Shall we head to our room?", he asked, doing a funny accent, while holding out his hand for me
"We shall", I said, following his accent, then taking his hand
Leo smiled and he lead me towards Leo's room, which is now basically our bedroom since we are now officially a couple. I walked inside with Leo following behind me and he closed the door making the whole room dim into darkness. I heard soft footsteps heading my way and I giggled uncontrollably unable to see Leo. "Where are you snuggles?", he asked, teasingly
I giggled. "Come and find me sweet cheeks", I said, giggling
My heart was racing excitedly and I smiled uncontrollably as I heard Leo trying to make his way through darkness to try and fine me. I smiled and giggled as he was unable to after a few minutes but then Leo jumped and grabbed my hips causing me to shriek. Leo laughed softly and he pulled me closer. "Found you", he said, teasingly
"And here is your prize", I said, softly
I kissed his lips and he moaned lowly and I smiled as pulled me to where I was up against him. My hands roamed around his chest till they got to his shoulders and I gave them gentle squeezes. Leo rubbed my hips in his hands in a circular motion and I giggled as Leo walked me back till the back of legs touched the bed. I slowly sat down on the edge of the bed pulling Leo with me by his shoulders, not breaking the kiss, and I laid down on the soft and comfy blanket and sheets. Leo climbed over the top and he laid down on top of me as we continued to kiss each other deeply. His hand slid behind my head and pulled it up to him as my hand stroked the back of his neck.
"You are such a good kisser", he said, softly
I giggled and blushed against his lips. "Quite shockingly I am, since I have had no past experience", I said, giggling
Leo kissed me again with deep passion as he rubbed my side and hip and I moaned lowly with content. "I am quite surprised", he said, softly "I thought boys would be chasing you in all different directions"
I giggled and smiled. "No I didn't silly", I said, giggling "We are in reality, not a dream"
Leo chuckled and he kissed my chin then came back to my lips, kissing them softly. "But hey you are beautiful it would almost be impossible to not miss seeing you", he said "Without someone giving you a look of awe"
"Oh Leo", I said, lovingly "You are just too sweet"
Leo smiled and chuckled and I pulled Leo into another deep passionate kiss and Leo climbed up on more on top of me, pushing my head down into the pillow deepening it. I gripped on to Leo's shoulders and I felt Leo lick my lips softly and slowly and I shivered against him and I let out a shaky breath and I slowly opened it and Leo's tongue slowly slid inside and I moaned as I wrapped my arms around his neck tightly. Leo's hands then went to my shoulders pushing them down deeper into the bed as Leo kissed me deeper with more love and heat.
Leo's tongue touched mine deeply and wrapped it in a tight hug. I giggled and moaned as Leo's tongue explored more around in my mouth and how seductive he was being towards me. "Leo I", I said, quietly
"Shhh", he said, softly "I'm right here"
"I know", I said, quietly "I just love you so much, never leave me"
"I love you so much too, you are my beating heart", he said "How could I leave you?"
I smiled and I pulled Leo tighter to me and I wrapped my hand around his head deepening the kiss. Leo moaned and our lips danced quickly and seductively, as if they just can't be without each other or they would just be nothing. Leo slid his arm underneath my shell and he pulled my waist up to him to where it touched his. I shivered against him and he rubbed the back of my shell. My legs quickly wrapped around his waist and he suddenly pulled me up to him and our kiss was still deep with love and passion. We were so deep in the moment we were forgetting that we were struggling to breathe. The laws of physics soon then took effect and Leo and I both pulled away from forcefully away from each others lips, breathing heavily to regain breath. "Wow", I said, softly
"Yeah wow", Leo said, breathing heavily
I slowly laid back down pulling Leo with me and he laid gently on top of me as we hugged each other softly, realizing from our huge make out session. I nuzzled my cheek against Leo's and he hugged me tighter to him as he stroked my shell. I smiled with content closing my eyes then I felt Leo move his head away from mine and I sensed he was looking down at me. My eyes slowly fluttered open and I saw Leo looking down at me with a gentle smile and he stroked my head tenderly. "So what else shall we do in our you and me time?", I asked, smiling "Since we have our little make out session"
Leo chuckled and smiled. "Here I want to take you somewhere", he said
"Where to?", I asked
"Follow me and you will see", he said, climbing off of me
I looked at him a slight bit confused, but I shrugged it off. I climbed off the bed and I followed Leo out of the bedroom. We both walked towards the entrance to the lair and we climbed up the ladder and walked out of the tunnel. I then followed Leo into an alley across the street. "Are we close to where you are taking me?", I asked
"It's very close, it's just up here", he said, climbing up the fire escape
I followed him up the fire escape and I climbed over the edge of the rooftop and I was taken by the sight just across the rooftop. It was a perfect view of the west side of Manhattan. The city was all lit up flashing bright colors every second, it was like the northern lights dancing across the black sky. I followed Leo across the rooftop till we got to the other edge.
"Oh Leonardo, it's so beautiful", I said
"Remember when I took you up here just a week after we met?", he asked
"Oh right, I remember", I said, smiling "You and I decided to come up here to get away from the boys who were teasing us from a distance"
Leo chuckled. "Brothers", he said, shaking his head
"Oh well we got to deal with them", I said, giggling "No avoiding them"
We both laughed softly. We then stared off into the night, looking out towards the city. It was quiet for a while, then I felt Leo slide beside me where my arm was touching his. I smiled still looking out into the city and I laid my head on Leo's shoulder. But curiosity came to my mind of why Leo brought me up here since it's been over a few years since we have gone up here alone.
"So why exactly did you bring me up here Leo?", I asked, looking up to him
Leo pulled his head off of mine and he looked at me with a smile of love and happiness. "Calli there is something that I have been wanting to ask you for quite a long time now", he said
"What do you mean? What is it?", I asked, facing him
Leo just smiled and he kissed my lips softly and I looked up to him a bit confused, but curiously."Calli, you and have been together for a little while now. Life could not be any better without having you in my life. There is no one that completes me the way that you do. You mean everything to me. There is nothing that I would not do for you and there is no one else I would want to share my life with. You are the reason I get up every morning and do training and you make me look at life with a new perspective. I have never met anyone as wonderful as you. There are so many things that I am grateful for I can't even count. You have been there for me through thick and thin and I thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet you. You mean so much to me, its unbelievable for me that I have someone such as you. Whenever things were so hectic for me that I could not have wanted anyone around me besides you. You are my sun, my moon, my universe. I love you for who you are and what you make of me when I am with you. Calli, I think now is the best time to ask you this question", he said, from his heart
Leo grabbed my hand gently into his own and he slowly got down on his right knee. I looked at him curiously and he reached his hand into his belt and he pulled out something. He turned his hand and in his fingers was a ring. It was small silver band with a little row of diamonds and in the center of the ring was a small dark blue heart, that matched my eyes perfectly. I gasped softly as it looked so beautiful and I looked at Leo with shock. "Leo! Oh my!", I said, stunned
"Calli, there is no amount of words to tell on how much I love you. I want to spend to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to share the highs, the lows, the sadness, the happiness, the hellos, the goodbyes. But most importantly...my feelings for you. Will you do me the honor of marrying me and become my wife?", he asked
I gasped softly and tears started to flow down my cheeks and my hands cupped around my mouth, shocked that Leo was proposing to me. I felt my heart exploding like millions of fireworks on the night of Fourth of July with happiness. A huge smile formed on my face as I looked down at Leo happily and I wiped some of my flowing tears from my cheeks. "Yes!", I said, nodding happily "Yes! Yes! I will marry you Leonardo!"
Leo looked very happy when I said yes. He slowly got up and he took my left hand into his and he slid my ring on my middle finger. I threw myself on Leo and he hugged me very tightly to him. I giggled as Leo spun me around his arms. Leo then slowed down and he pulled me into a deep passionate kiss hugging me tightly to him and I kissed back with excitement and love. We pulled away after a few moments and we stared at each other hazily.
"Man I love being a turtle", he said, smiling
"You and me both", I said, smiling up to him
Leo smiled and he pulled me into another passionate kiss that was like our last one, only sweeter. I smiled as now life for me couldn't be any better. I was now engaged to the most perfect man, or should I say turtle in the world. Now a new chapter in Leo's and my relationship has just begun being written, now I was going to get married and become Leo's wife. What more could anyone want? Not me, life was now just perfect. How I love you so much Leonardo, with all my heart and soul.
