April:

I've never been this nervous before. The thought of Leo picking me up at my place causes butterflies in my stomach. I can't believe in such a short amount of time that he's gotten underneath my skin. Of course I can't tell him that. I don't want him to think I want anything more than friendship. I mean look what happened at work. Dom and I didn't work out because he thought I lied to him. It was a disaster in itself. Leo was right. I needed to let my hair down and have some fun.

There was a knock at the door and I couldn't help but look at myself one last time. I wanted to look good not only for myself but for Leo too. Ugh…what is wrong with me? It's Leo, my cancer friend. He's nothing more than that. I put the finishing touch of my lip gloss on my lips and open the door.

"Wow, you look amazing April. You didn't have to dress up for me though."

"Leo, I see that you didn't lose your sense of humor along the way. I'm not dressing up for you. I just wanted to feel pretty for once."

"Sweetheart, you could wear a paper sack and still look ravishing."

April blushes at Leo's comment and couldn't help but smile. No one's ever told her how beautiful she looked in a long time. It felt nice.

"So, where are we headed too? You never did say."

"Patience is definitely not your forestay April. Tsk Tsk."

"It's the reporter in me Leo. I can't help myself."

"You'll just have to wait my lady. Do you have everything?"

"Yes, I believe so."

April closes and locks her front door and walks down to Leo's car. Leo being the charming guy he is opened her car door and waited till she got in before closing the door. Leo got in the car, put the key in and shift the car in gear.

As Leo was driving the car, this gave April the opportunity to really look at Leo. He was dressed casually and his hair was perfect. There wasn't one piece of hair out of place. His hands were perfectly manicured and the cologne he was wearing was heavenly. She breathed it in, closed her eyes. The husky smell transported her back to a place where she didn't have a care in the world. She was running around in the field with her puppy, rolling in the sweet smell of grass. April hadn't realized Leo had stopped the car until he touched her shoulder.

"April, are you okay? You've got tears coming down your face."

"I'm fine Leo. I was just reminiscing about a time when I was younger. I hadn't realized I was crying."

"Are you sure? We can just pick up some food and find a nice place to talk."

"No. We're going to have some fun Leo. When did you start to get all sentimental on me?"

Leo runs his hand through his hair and lets out a sigh. "I don't want to push you if you're not ready April. I know you have a lot on your plate right now."

"I'll be fine Leo. I just got caught up in a memory of my childhood. Let's go and have fun."

Leo looks at April one last time before he grabs April's hand and pulls her into a bar.

"We're here April. This is the surprise."

"A bar. How interesting Leo. I can't say that I'm not surprised."

"You haven't even seen the best part yet April. Don't judge it before you had the food."

"I take it you're not a stranger to this place."

"Why makes you say that?"

"It might have to do with the girl that is giving me the evil eye."

Leo turns around and waves his hand in the air as to call the girl over. April can only roll her eyes at the idea of meeting his "flavor" of the moment.

"Leo, it's so good to see you. It's been awhile. Who is this?"

"Barbie, this is my special friend April. April, this is Barbie. She is my favorite waitress here."

April could only smile at Barbie. Barbie on the other hand couldn't fake her dislike for April.

"The usual Leo?"

"Make that two Barbie. I want to give my friend April here a memory she'll never forget."

"You got it Leo." Barbie winks and him and walks off.

It wasn't more than 10 minutes later when April saw what Leo had ordered from his friend "Barbie." She was a stripper dancing on the stage. April felt sick inside and couldn't believe this was happening to her. April wanted to run and hide, but it was impossible considering she had no idea where they were. She walked outside and leaned against the wall to take in the fresh air. There was no way she was going to step foot inside that place again. Screw Leo for making her feel this way. April started to walk along the road to try and find anything that looked familiar when she heard his footsteps.

"Go away Leo. I'm surprised you tore yourself away from Barbie long enough to find me."

"Don't be like that April. It was all in fun. I told you that I was going to give you an experience to remember."

"This was a waste of time Leo. I knew I couldn't trust you to keep it clean. It's always about pushing the boundary with you isn't it? You just can't do anything normal."

"You're jealous."

"What? I'm not sure what you drank back there but I am not jealous."

"Admit it. You can't stand to see me give my attention to any other girl."

"You're wrong. I don't care who you lavish your attention on. Go back to Barbie Leo. I'll find my way home."

"Do you even hear yourself? You're so scared to be around me because you like me."

"Someone is full of themselves. I don't have time for this."

"I never pegged you for being neither scared nor running away from a situation."

"I'm not scared of you Leo."

"I wasn't talking about me April. You're scared because you have feelings for me and it scares you to think that you could fall for me."

"You're wrong Leo. I don't like you. In fact, I hate you."

Leo chuckles at April's expression. She gets more furious and starts to walk away. April doesn't get very far as her heel gets stuck in a cobblestone and she falls forward. Leo catches her in his arms and pulls April towards him. He stares at April for a moment to make sure she is okay. Before April gets a chance to push away from Leo, he leans his face down and places a soft kiss on April's lips. He peppers her face before assaulting her mouth once again. April can't help but moan.

Leo breaks off the kiss and both he and April are panting after the kiss. They both stare at one another, neither one of them knowing what to do.
