Mona and Leo started to date a week after the party. That hurt Raph so much. He wishes he was the one with Mona but he missed his chance. He felt sick everytime he saw them together. Everytime they would kiss in front of their Home EC. class he felt so much anger. Later in the day when he would come home, they would be on the couch making googly eyes at each other and Raph would hide in his room until Mona left. He tried being friends with her but it was tough to talk to her without wanting to grab her and kiss her.

Everyone was eating dinner when Leo got up from his seat and put his dish in the sink.

"Leo where are you going? You hardly ate." Kimora said. Leo walked out of the kitchen to grab his coat.

"I'm going to Mona's house. See you guys later!" He called out and the front door opened and closed shut. Kimora looked at Raphael. He looked hurt. She knew he was misrible since Leo and Mona started dating a few weeks ago. Kimora tried to reach out for his hand but he pulled away and got up from the table. He ran upstair and went to his room. Kimora sighed.

"Who wants cake?" She exclaimed.

Leo hugged Mona from behind while she stirred the tea for him. Mona liked this. She wanted this for awhile. She smiled to herself.

"What are you smiling about?" Leo asked. She turned around with the tea. He kissed her forehead and took the tea.

"Nothing. Just thinking about us." Leo smiled and put down his tea on the counter. He pulled her closer and kissed her. She liked kissing Leo but a lot of the time it felt like something was missing. Sometimes she thinks about Raphael and if he had agreed to be with her, would it be like this. But she had to put that behind her even though it was starting to get hard.

"Why don't we go to the living room?" Leo said.

"You go ahead. I'm going to take the cupcakes out of the oven." Leo smiled and walked to the living room with his tea. He sat on the couch and turned on the TV. He didn't really watch the TV. He thought about Mona and how much he liked her. He was happy that he finally has her.

"Hey, I brought you a cupcake." Leo snapped out of his thought. Mona sat down next to him and handed him a well frosted cupcake. He watched Mona devour her cupcake. He laughed when she was done. She had frosting on the corner of her mouth.

"What? Something on my face?" Mona asked. Leo nodded. He put down both his tea and cupcake and wiped the frosting off of her face. Mona thought about the time when Raph did the same when they first meet. She was taken aback by the thought.

"Are you okay?" Leo asked. Mona said nothing. She then climbed on and straddled him. Leo looked into her eyes. Mona kissed him passionately. Leo pulled her into him hard. She pushed back and took off his shirt and then her own. She didn't want to think about him anymore but she couldn't help it. She kissed him again. He laid her down on the couch and got on top of her. He looked down at her. He thought she was so beautiful. He cupped her cheek and she smiled. She held his hand on her cheek. Leo sat up.

"Whats wrong?" Mona asked as she sat up next to him.

"If were going to have sex then I want it to be special and not so rushed." Mona was a little shocked. She liked that about Leo he was sometimes very considerate of her and her feelings. Sometimes.

"I like that idea and plus my mom's going to be home soon." She smiled. She laid her head on his shoulder. Her smile diminished. She kept thinking about Raphael. She wondered what he was doing. She wondered if he thought about her as much as she did him.

Her thoughts were soon interrupted by the front door opening. Her mother was home. Mona felt relief at the thought of them waiting. If they hadn't she was going to have a long talk with her mother about sex and how inappropriate it was to do it on the couch. Mona and Leo sat up on the couch and tried to act casual.

"Hey guys. How was your evening?" Jay said with a raise of her brow.

"It was fine, Mom." Mona gave her mother a forced smile.

Jay went over and sat in between them. She turned to Leo and smiled. "Okay. Leo how are you?"

"I'm doing well Mrs. Rosado and you?"

"I'm also doing well. So what are we watching?" Jay asked Mona. Mona groaned.

"We're-we're uh... Mom! Can you leave?" Mona said.

"That's what I thought. Alright I'll leave but don't do anything I wouldn't do." Jay said as she left to her room. Mona cringed and turned back to Leo who was holding back his laughter.

"What's so funny?" Mona whacked his shoulder.

"Nothing. Just that your mom reminds me of my mom. I think they would be good friends." Leo said. Mona thought about it and he was right they would be like two peas in a pod.

Raphael laid in his bed looking up at the ceiling. He heard the front door. He got up and went out into the hallway. Leo walked up the stairs. Leo looked up at him.

"Hey Raph." Leo greeted. Raph grunted.

"Why are you late?"

"Why do you care?" Leo asked.

"Because you- i fucking don't." He turned to walk away when Leo spoke up.

"Is this about Mona?" Raph turned around and stared at his brother.

"Shut up." He whispered. "I could care less."

"Whatever. I'm going to bed." Leo went to his room. Raphael ran downstairs and grabbed his coat. He went out the door to the car. He drove to Mona's house and went to her front door. He knocked loudly on the door. Mona opened it.

"Raph? What are you doing here?" She asked. Raph went passed her.

"Do you like Leo?"

"Y-yes I do." Mona was confused. "Raph why are you here?" Raph came towards her and tried to kiss her. Mona turned her face.

"Stop it! What are you trying to do?" Mona yelled.

"I want you! Goddamit!" He said.

"It's too late, Raphael."

"No. No its not. We can make it work." Mona shook her head.

"Please leave." Mona pointed to the front door. Raph couldn't speak.

"But-but I love you." Mona choked on her sobs.

"Just go!" She yelled. She went upstairs and shut her bedroom door. She laid on her bed and put her face in the pillow. She heard the door downstairs open and close. She got up and walked over to her window. She saw him drive away in his car. She wanted so much to tell him she loved him too.

Mona tried hard to avoid Raphael after what happened between them but it was hard to do since she was dating his brother. As weeks went by Mona couldn't get her mind off of Raphael and she was trying hard not to think of him.

But it was the day that they were going to take their relationship to the next level. Leonardo was planning to take her out to a fancy restaurant in the city and then to a hotel. Mona looked in the mirror. She let her hair down and wore a black dress with high heels. She thought she cleaned up pretty good. The doorbell rang. Only Leo rang the doorbell. She grabbed her little purse and coat and went to open the door. When she opened it, Leonardo's eyes grew wide.

"Wow. You-you look great." He said. Mona smiled. Leo wore a nice black suit with a white collar shirt and looked great in it. Leo grabbed her waist and kissed her. She enjoyed it. Sort of. They separated and walked to the car.

They had a great time at the restaurant. Mona ate the amazing food and then some. She even had a doggy bag. They headed to the hotel next. Mona's heart was beating fast. She looked at Leo as he checked in. He looked as though he was calm. 'I don't know how he does it.' Leo grabbed the key card and lead Mona to the elevator. They got off their floor. Mona followed Leo to a hotel room door. When he opened the door, Mona was in awe of the room. It was beautiful. She giggled and ran to the bed and laid on it. She felt the covers and the pillow.

"Oh this is so soft." She heard Leo close the door. She could hear him walk over to her. Mona looked up and he was taking off his tie. 'I have to admit, he looks gorgeous.' He then took off his jacket and shirt. Mona blushed when she saw his abs and chest. He was very toned and muscular. Leo got on top of her and looked into her eyes.

"Are you ready?" Leo asked. Mona didn't speak, just nodded.

"Are you sure?" She nodded again. Leo kissed her. 'I can do this. I can stop thinking of Raph.' Instead of Leo, Mona saw Raph. She closed her eyes. Mona kissed Leo harder as if she was kissing Raph. 'No! I have to stop!' She flipped Leo on to his back and sat on top of him. She took off her dress revealing black lace undergarment. Leo let out a deep breathe. He touched her breast then down to her soft stomach and then her thighs. He sat up and ran his hands through her hair. He kissed her cheek and then her neck. She shuttered. Leo went into his pocket and took out a condom. Mona took a deep breathe and let it out. She wanted to move on with this relationship but Raph kept coming to her mind. No! She didn't want to stop having a great relationship because he didn't step up. She laid down while Leo took off his pants and fixed the condom on. She took off her underpants. Leo got on top of her.

"I'll be gentle, okay?" Leo whispered into her ear even though he knew she was not a virgin. Mona nodded. She closed her eyes and thought of Raphael.
