As soon as Leon read the note he dropped it. He was in shock. No no, that doesn't even begin to explain how he felt. Not only had he just almost slept with Ashley, but now Ada was back. How on Earth was hr going to face her? Deep in his thoughts, he was startled when his phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Leon it's me Jack. There's uh… something I need to tell you."
Great. Another thing he had to tell her: he and Jack were practically best friends now. And Ada still thinks she killed him.
"W-what is it?"
"I uh… I kinda kissed Violet. I hope that's okay with you, I don't want to be breaking the 'bro code' or anything." He said.
"Oh… N-no that's cool. What made you finally do it?" He knew something had 'clicked' between the two at dinner.
"I don't really know. We were just standing there on her doorstep and I just… leaned in. I don't know what came over me." He explained.
"Yeah, me either…" He said to himself, but Jack had heard.
"Well… it was a little more than that…"
"Y-you mean…?"
"Yes… well, almost."
"What do you mean 'almost'?"
"Well, I was right about to… you know… then her phone rang. I'm guessing it was Violet telling her about what you guys did." Leon explained.
"Oh, I'm sorry dude."
"Eh… don't be. It's not your fault, or hers; she couldn't have known. But to be honest, I'm actually kinda glad we didn't do it." He admitted.
"What, why?"
"Well, what if she had gotten pregnant or something? I mean, we didn't almost use any protection. What would we tell her dad?"
"I don't know man…"
"Yeah."
"Wait… If you didn't… you know 'finish'… What happened after that?" he wondered aloud.
"I just… left."
"You what? Why would you do that?"
"I-I don't know, okay? I just couldn't face her after that. I didn't know what to say!"
"Well you could have atleast talked about it! I mean, come one dude, you just left her like that! How do you think that made her feel?" Jack couldn't believe he would do something so… ass-y!
"Horrible, I bed. I mean, that's how I felt. I just needed some time to think, though."
"Well…?"
"Well what?"
"Have you gotten to think about it yet?"
"N-no. I-I got distracted but, uh, s-something else." He glanced down at the note on the floor, wondering what on Earth he was going to tell the woman he was once in love with.
"Oh… well its only ten-o-clock. You should go talk to her." Jack suggested.
"Yeah, I think I will."
"Okay, well I'll talk to you later then."
"Yeah… bye."
"Bye."
Leon hung up the phone and though about what he was going to say to Ashley.
Well, I should apologize first. He thought. He truly felt bad for leaving Ashley like that, but what was he supposed to do? It would have been extremely awkward, he was sure.
Alright, he had made up his mind. He put on his pajama pants and wife-beater, grabbed his key to Ashley's apartment, and walked over there.
Once again, he stopped before opening her door. He was only gone for about ten minutes; there was still the chance that she was only in her underwear. He knocked on the door and waited for her to answer. No response.
"Okay… maybe she didn't hear e…" he said aloud to himself.
He knocked once more and again, there was no answer.
Okay. Now he was getting worried. "Ashley?" He called out, thinking of all the horrible things that could have happened to her in the pas fifteen minutes. She could have fallen and gotten knocked unconscious, maybe she fell out a window, or she could have killed herse-
No. There is absolutely no way she would ever do something like that. Bit just to be sure, he pulled out his key and unlocked her door.
"Ashley…?" He called out her name when he didn't see her in the living room, or her kitchen.
He opened her bedroom door and was immediately relieved when he saw her sleeping form in the queen sized bed. He walked over to the side of the bed she was sleeping on and stared at her tear-streaked face.
"I'm sorry…" he whispered as he went in to gently kiss her forehead.
He sighed and stood up glancing at everything in the room, this was the first time he actually got to really look at it. Last time he was in here he was… well, you know. When you walk in, you see her bed, which is centered on the back wall. Her blanket was black with white squares all over it, and she had matching pillows and sheets to it. On the left side of the bed there was a sort of vintage looking nightstand with a drawer, but when he opened it, there was nothing in there. On top of the night stand there was a lamp with a round-ish bottom, and a black shade to cover it. Beside the lamp was a picture frame facing the bed, and an alarm clock. In the picture frame there was a picture of Leon and Ashley at the zoo. Leon was making an un-amused face, while Ashley was smiling so wide, her mouth nearly stretched all the way across her face.
Leon chuckled softly at the memory and set the frame down. He looked to his left again. There were vertical blinds covering a door that led to a balcony. Knowing it would wake her up if he went out there, he decided not to.
On the right wall there was a dresser about the length of both his arms, and on top of it was a gigantic mirror about 4 ½ feet tall, and the same length wide. The dresser was mostly covered in makeup stuff, so he didn't really feel like snooping around there too much. On the back wall, to the right of her bed, was a door that led to her bathroom.
Her bathroom was relatively clean, and smelled pretty good. The walls were painted lilac to match her shower curtain which was white with purple and grey leave-type-things on it. She used Mango Mandarin scented shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Leon liked mangos. No wonder he always though she smelled so absolutely wonderful.
"Mmm…" Ashley moaned in her sleep.
Leon froze in his place. How awkward would it be if Ashley woke up to find Leon in her bathroom sniffing her shampoo? But to his relief, she didn't wake up. He carefully set the bottle down and walked back into the bedroom.
He sighed looking at her sleeping form; she looked so peaceful, it made him kind of sleepy himself. So, without really thinking, he found himself lying next to her in her bed.
He softly kissed the back of her head and whispered "Night, sweetheart." before falling into a deep, blissful slumber.
When Ashley woke up the next morning she felt strangely at ease. Yawning, she went to stretch her arms out about her head but found she couldn't.
What the…? She thought.
Looking down she saw the reason why: she was in the sleeping arms of a Leon Scott Kennedy.
"L-Leon! W-what the heck?" asked Ashley, with a blush on her face as her mind was racing.
Leon didn't answer her, but strengthened his grip on her waist pulling her closer to him.
Alright. Now she really was trapped. But she couldn't say she didn't like it. That's when she remembered the events of last night: she and Leon practically sucking each others faces off on her door step. She blushed just at the thought. Then she remembered getting into the living room, and taking off each others clothes…
Oh God… did they sleep together?
She looked down to find she was wearing a tank top and her favorite pajama pants
Oh yeah… Violet called. She was half relieved, and half disappointed which scared her.
Okay, so… she thought. If we didn't sleep together, what is he doing in my bed?
She turned her head around just enough to see that he was still sleeping. After a few very hard attempts to turn her body around, she finally managed too.
Once she got to take a good look at his sleeping face, which was adorable, mind you, she finally took in the whole situation. Leon was in her bed, holding her very closely, and very tightly. The question was: how could she wake him up to ask him why? Her face was practically smushed to his rock hard chest, so anything she would say would be muffled.
After another few failed attempts, she managed to scoot herself up so that she was eye level with him. But once again, he pulled her closer to him. Now her lips were less than a centimeter from his. That's when she thought of it. She slowly pressed her lips against his and started moving them tentatively. To her surprise, it worked, and he quickly pulled away, but just the tiniest bit.
"Uh… um…" His cheeks were red. And I mean bright, bright red.
"Morning, Sunshine." She smiled innocently at him. "Now uh… could you please let me go? I kinda have to pee…"
The result was instantaneous; he quickly let go, and sat up.
"Thanks." She said, as she hurried into the bathroom.
Once she was in the bathroom, he sat up in the bed and looked up at her alarm clock: 9:30. Great, there was still enough time to make breakfast.
Considering how long she took them, once he heard the shower start, he knew he would have enough time to make her favorite breakfast. Which, secretly, he had come to love, also.
When Ashley stepped out of the shower, she smelled eggs, and cheese, and ham, and even bacon. She shook her head; she had to be going crazy. The blonde wrapped herself in a towel and opened the bathroom door. Weird, she didn't see Leon in the room. Maybe he left, thought Ashley. Figures… I probably scared him off with that kiss.
"Stupid…!" She smacked herself in the head.
Sighing, she got dressed in her short-short black and red pajama shorts, and her other black tank top. This one was form-fitting and spaghetti strapped. She slipped on her fuzzy slippers and walked out of her bedroom, drying her hair with the towel, with her head leaned over to the side. The weird thing was, she still smelled food. Looking up, she saw Leon at her stove, finishing what looked like two omelets, and a lot of bacon.
"Oh… hey, I thought you left." She felt the blood rise to her cheeks when she noticed Leon eyeing her skimpy outfit.
"Um…" He cleared his throat and looked away. "N-no I was just making breakfast."
She walked quickly up to the stove and eyed the creation. "L-Leon is this…?"
"A ham and cheese omelet with bacon in the middle, and on the side? Yes… yes it is." He smirked at her.
She threw her arms around the man and hugged him tightly."Thank you, thank you, thank you!"she stepped back. "But, how did you know this was my favorite?" She asked.
Leon shrugged. "When you follow someone around for three months, I guess you pick up a few things."
He fixed their plates and they sat down at the table.
"So… um… Leon…" She started after eating a few bites of her omelet.
"Um… why were you... uh... I-in my bed th-this morning?"
Leon almost choked on his food. He spent almost ten seconds trying to cough up a little piece that was lodged in his throat.
"U-uh… w-well I-I um…" He'd never been so embarrassed in all his life.
She had to stop herself from laughing. "I was just wondering… you don't have to get all serious." She smirked at him.
He cleared his throat. "W-well, I came over t-to apologize for just… l-leaving after… t-that ." They both blushed. "And I saw you sleeping and… I don't know… I kinda felt tired and…" He let the sentence hang, knowing she knew the rest.
The blonde smiled and stood up. She walked over to her bodyguard/almost lover, knelt down to his level and kissed him senseless. After a few seconds she pulled back and smiled again when she saw the flustered look on his face.
"Um… what was that for?"
"Apology accepted." She smiled and kissed him again, this time he gladly accepted it.
She hugged him as tightly as she had the day they got back from Spain and buried her face into his shoulder. He hugged her back and took a deep breath, getting a strong whiff of her hair. Mangos. He smiled even more, and hugged her even tighter, wondering when on Earth he had fallen for this beautiful woman.
Okay, before you ask: No. This isn't the end. There will probably be about 2 more chapters. Yes yes.. settle down now… *applause dies down*Now, just to let you know, updates won't be as fast as they used to be; I've got SO much homework. And yes I know there are probably TONS of mistakes in this story, but try to ignore them. Sometimes my computer doesn't tell me when words are missing or anything, and I don't really want to re-read it after rushing so much to hurry up and type the chapter up so I can get it posted... So... yeah.. Well.. I can't really think of anything else to say so, please Review! ^_^
