Heaven paused and read the message again. The first message actually. 'The one that displayed,'Aiyo... That was a mistake. That message isn't meant for you.' She scrolled the messages upwards and read his previous message,'What? Do you miss me already?' She rolled her eyes. If this message wasn't meant for her, then who is meant for? His girlfriend? Her phone chimed with another message and she scrolled downwards. He had sent another message to her,'I can see that you are still online so why aren't you replying?' Heaven suddenly had the urge to press the 'block' button. He still has the nerve to ask her that question. You wanna know what she did instead? She turned off her mobile data and even switched off the phone before facing the laptop on her bed. It's late anyway so she won't waste anymore time talking to that bastard.*************** Leo raised his phone in frustration. Why has the network bar turned red? It's currently displaying a 'no connection' signal. "Why is there
Everywhere was silent except from the windy sound that indicated a heavy rainfall and the sounds coming from Jake's phone as he waited for the call to connect. The phone rang for a while but no one answered it so it got disconnected. Jake looked at Leo and shook his head to tell him that no one answered. "Try again. If no one answers, I'm gonna get rid of those incompetent fools as soon I get back," His words shook Jake to the core. He hurriedly tried calling again. Meanwhile, Sienna stood quietly by the side. There was a faint dreamy look on her face as she gazed at Leo. Even the way he looked angry just made him appear even more handsome. She wished they'd never get to meet again under these unfortunate circumstances. Her original plan was to charm him, seduce him and then grasp him round her finger but she'd had to put a stop to her plan and job to rush here and seek for mercy! She wiped the sweat off her brows. Though it's cold and windy out here, she's actually sweating at t
"Of course boss. We'll even be able to leave on Friday if you want us to," Jake nodded. "But... Boss, don't you want to go sightseeing?" Leo closed the notepad and gave it back to him. He turned around and began to unbutton his shirt. "No, I have something important to do at home." Jake took his reply as the end of that conversation and quietly left the room. But on his way out, he kept on wondering what was so important that the boss needed to rush back? Leo had already tossed his shirt away and was beginning to remove his pants when his phone rang. He paused and reached out to take the phone that was on the bed. As soon as he saw the caller id, his eyes stilled a bit. "Hello," his monotonic voice made Valerie feel a sense of nostalgia. She secretly prayed that he wouldn't hear her fast heartbeats. "Hey," She answered coolly, a complete contrast to how she felt. "I saw your message so I decided I'd call instead." "Hmm," Leo made a low sound and dropped the phone on th
As soon as he realised that he was the one they were talking about, Jake took a few steps backwards. "Boss... Don't look at me that way. It's like you wanna eat me whole. I'm innocent," He cried out with a pitiful look, rushing to stand behind Alan. The latter tried to move away but he held him. Since Alan learnt how to use him as his shield, he won't hesitate to do the same. It's called repaying bad deeds with bad deeds! "Did you or did you not say that?," Leo demanded, standing akimbo. Jake swallowed noiselessly,"I said so boss." His voice was low, so low that they almost didn't hear him. "But believe me boss, I never mentioned anything else to him. I didn't even tell him to call her cousin in-law." "Don't call her that again. She is not even my girlfriend," Jake and Alan exchanged a look while Leo turned back to the suitcase he was unpacking. They shrugged at each other with a similar confused look on their faces. If she isn't his girlfriend, then who is she to him? **
Leo's mind suddenly went blank as she wrapped her hands around his waist. He suddenly realised how short she was. Her head was barely reaching his neck. She has a voluptuous body but she was slightly shorter than most women he'd seen. How come he never realised this!? Wait... How come she is hugging him!? But this didn't stop him from unconsciously returning the hug. She looked up at him and smiled. The first genuine smile he'd ever seen on her face. "You dummy! I thought you weren't going to come back in time. Did you have fun teasing me like that?," Of course, her first word would be to call him names. But this time, he didn't find it as irritating as it used to feel. When she called him dummy now, he actually felt she was cute! Yikes! Leo... What's wrong with you? "Of course. It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you. Besides, you did something that upset me alot... Well, that's understandable since you are always doing things to upset me," he frowned a little. While say
"Boo!," Leo jumped in fright. He almost fell backwards on the person behind him. Heaven moved backwards and burst into laughter. "I can't believe you were scared of my hand! Hahahaha!," She held her stomach as she rolled in laughter. He looked at her and faked an angry expression. "Why would you do that?," As he said this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that she is in a good mood, the argument with her mother ended well. "Well... I was so engrossed in looking at the bottles of yogurt that I didn't notice you." The laughter immediately ceased as she rushed to the fridge,"Don't touch my babies. They are for me only." Leo looked at the fridge and turned back to her in surprise. "Are you going to finish all that? There are so many flavors. Why did you even order so many?," He looked surprised. "None of your business," She took out one bottle of the yogurt. "I thought that since we'd become friends, there is no need to say snippy words at me or call me names anymore," he spoke s
"Hi," She whispered and he tucked his hand in his pocket while gazing at the sky."How are you doing? Isn't it late there already? Shouldn't you be in bed?," Valerie was overwhelmed with his questions. It sounded as if he cares."I miss you," She told him frankly and Leo was speechless. He chuckled and looked down the rail."Did the party end early?," He successfully maneuvered the topic. It felt weird to hear her say she missed him."Yes," Valerie gave a short reply with a sad smile. She is well aware that he'd changed the discussion to something else. Why should it be only her that keeps on feeling this way?Why doesn't he feel something too? Even a tiny bit... That night, he wouldn't even let her kiss him... Like a full kiss on the mouth. How can there be a sexual relationship between two people if the man isn't even willing to kiss the woman?"Leo...," She called with a resolute, determined look."Yes.""I said I miss you. Didn't you hear me or you are just deliberately ignoring it
"Do you enjoy teasing me like this!?," Heaven exploded as soon as Leo stepped into the house. She was holding up her phone which was displaying the pictures he sent to her and the string of messages she sent to him that had been left unread. Leo struggled to hide his smile and displayed an innocent expression. "I was starving. My stomach couldn't handle the hunger so I stopped at a nearby restaurant to eat. I even sent pictures to you to show you my whereabouts in case you started to worry about my late arrival so what did I do wrong?" Heaven opened her mouth to interject but he stopped her,"I've had a hectic day at work and I had to rush home yet you are getting all fussy for no reason." This erased the anger in Heaven's mind and she forced a smile on her face. "Okay... Okay... You can go in and get dressed now. The only reason why I was upset is because I don't want us to arrive there late and be the center of their attention..." Leo simply nodded without a response. "I'l
