~CHAPTER 5 ½~
A hopeless romantic.
Leon's POV
He hardly got any sleep all night. He couldn't get that conversation of his mind. At first, he had his doubts and was unsure that what Percival had said was true about Delilah but then everyone else confirmed it. It had to be true. So now he only had one thing left to do. Approach her.
He kept on creating different situations in his mind and tried to see what the best way would be for him to express his feelings but he just couldn't figure it out. It was like any experience he had ever had with women was completely deleted from his memory and he felt like a young boy experiencing his first love. She made him feel like that. As if she was the first woman he had ever met. His first true love. And maybe she was. After all, no other woman had ever managed to make him feel like that, she was unique.
Maybe I should just talk to her. Women appreciate complete honesty and being straightforward with things. But what if she doesn't? I mean, she is certainly the romantic type. Perhaps I should just act like myself. The first thing that comes to mind I do or say. No more planning. Yes, that's it. I am sure something will come to mind the moment I see her. All I have to do is be myself. No problem. I can do this.
When he finally made up his mind, he knew that now that he finally had a solution, he should hurry. With that heartwarming thought on his mind, he closed the door behind him and left for the training field once again.
Delilah's POV
She just loved her books. Every book a different world she could get lost in at any time she wanted. Whenever she was troubled or sad, all she had to do was to pick a good book. But she loved the most about her books was how every character would get their happy ending at some point. Because she truly believed that every person deserves a happy end, with happiness and love. And God, did she want her own happy ending. She liked to think that she would eventually find someone that would love her more than anything and together they would have a family and live the rest of their lives happily, loving each other till the end. Just like in novels. Some people thought of her as naïve for believing that but she was not. And those who really knew her could tell. She was just romantic. A hopeless romantic, if you'd like.
Good morning! So this is half of chapter 5, which might sound stupid that I split it but I can explain. As you can see, I gave a small introduction to Delilah and her personality pretty much so that I can then continue to create an actual scene with Leon in the other half of the chapter. So the reason that I divided it is that from that point I finished, I just couldn't shift directly to the scene. But don't worry. I'll upload the other half of the chapter very shortly. I'm sorry! Hope you still enjoyed it though! Stay tuned! ~xoxo~
