"Boyfriend! It sounds good to my ears."
"Leo"
"I'm sorry April. Who would have ever thought that you would ask me to be your boyfriend? It was actually quite cute the way you asked me. I want to savor this moment."
He looks at April with crinkles in his eyes and can't help but smile at her. Her skin was glowing and she looked even sexier underneath the moon. I was a lucky guy.
"Leo, do you think that we can keep this to ourselves for a while?"
"Are you ashamed of me April? I mean I don't understand. Do you want me as a secret boyfriend?"
"No, I'm not ashamed of you Leo. In fact, I really like you a lot. I want to enjoy us before everyone knows. I don't want people to treat us any differently."
"Well when you put it that way, of course. I'll do it for a little bit, but not too long. I'm not sure I can keep my hands off your stunning body and kissable lips."
"You really know how to charm a woman Leo." April bats her eyes at him and gives him a quick kiss on the lips.
Leo grabs April's hand and they then walk down to the pier. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. She was everything he dreamed of and more.
"Penny for your thought's Leo"
"I was just thinking about the first time we met, in the parking garage of my father's company. I was riding my motorcycle and you got in the way."
"Hey, that wasn't my fault. You literally ran into me. It's a good thing I went to check on you."
"Then there was the elevator. I couldn't but help remember that look you gave me. It was so unexpected."
"To be fair, I wasn't expecting to be riding in the same elevator with Bruce Hendrie's son. You were like a myth."
"Touché. Then there was the meeting. I really thought you were there to do the story on me, but boy I was wrong. You put me in my place that day. I couldn't have been more embarrassed."
"Let's not forget that stunt you pulled. You invited me to the event of the year, thinking I was going to get an exclusive story about you, only to be humiliated in front of my peers."
"I regret that part of the evening. If I could take that part back April I would. I didn't set out to hurt you. I just wanted to have you see the bigger picture."
"I know Leo. I was just frustrated about the whole thing. Then of course there was that situation with Dominic."
"Yes, Dominic. That was pretty awkward."
"Let's not talk about that Leo. I have to say that driving that car was so much fun. I've never felt so free in my life. It felt good to release those demons I was holding on inside. When you kissed me though, that was nerve wracking."
"I don't regret it one bit April"
"I don't either. I think the shock of the whole thing and you taking me by surprise caught me off guard. I was dating someone and well you know the rest."
"It was his loss April and my gain. I will do whatever it takes to make sure that you're happy, even if it means writing you a poem or singing from top of the roof. You deserve the world and I plan to give it to you."
April looks at Leo and her heart accelerates. She was falling in love for once in her life; things were finally going her way. She couldn't wait for that moment when she is able to look into his eyes and tell him "I love you." She scoots closer to Leo and he wraps his arms around her body. She sighs and looks up at him. He leans down and gives her a quick kiss on the lips. It was magical.
