Lexi
The whole next week we went to my house to do my project while Liv and Antonio were having sex in the other room. Leo decided to play 'games' with me, whatever the hell that means. He was teasing me like every other second though, and it would just make me even more mad. And I think Liv and Antonio are in a secret relationship. Anyways the day went by quickly and I waited for Liv at my locker because she went to grab something. It's probably Antonio to be honest. He goes with us everywhere now, sometimes Leo will hang out with us too. But, he rarely does because he says he always has 'to take care of something.'
Liv came back with Antonio of course and a bouquet of flowers. Aww how cute he bought her flowers. "Don't worry Lex, I didn't forget you too!" Antonio said as he handed me a teddy bear with a card attached to it that said: Please don't be mad at me cause I stole your best friend. I just laughed at his nice gesture and said, "Don't worry I'm not mad. But, if you break her heart I'll kill you like actually. I don't watch all those crime shows for nothing." We both laughed together. Liv walked up to me and put her hands on my shoulders. "You know I love you right?" I nodded my head wondering what she did now. "Great! Don't get mad but, I'm going to go on a date with Antonio after school. So, I can't take you home sorry." I laughed.
"Oh my gosh. You think I would get mad at you for that? Haha. Go have fun on your date! I'll try to go find a ride, or maybe I'll walk. I don't know but, I'll figure it out. Don't worry." Liv laughed awkwardly. "Well, good news you don't have to worry cause I got you a ride already! Leo will give you a ride home." My mouth hung open. "Liv?" I asked. "What's up?" She replied. "I am going to kill you. LEO?!?! Liv what were you thinking?" She shrugged her shoulders. "He's not that bad! Just chill and be nice he's Antonio's best friend, just be nice ok?" I rolled my eyes and she shook me. "You better be nice!" I looked at her with an annoyed face and she tilted her head to side warning me to be nice. "Ugh! Ok MOM!" She smiled. "Great have fun! Love you lots! Bye." And she walked off with Antonio.
I grabbed my things from my locker and waited for Leo at some benches on the side of our school. If he wants to give me a ride he can look for me. There's no way I'll chase after a boy. I took out my favorite book at the moment, "A Touch of Darkness," By Scarlett St. Clair. I barely started reading it, I'm only up to the part where Persephone meets Hades and they now have a contract where she has to make life in the underworld. Dark I know, just to let you know my mom doesn't know I have this book. She would have killed me and tell me to pray for my sins, then she would have called the book a devil book. My mom can be excessive sometimes.
As I'm getting to the part where Persephone is about to kiss Hades on the couch I felt this person sit in front of me but I choose to continue to read. Then as I'm reading stupid ass Minthe walking in on them, I hear his deep voice, "what you reading there kitten?" I close my book abruptly. "What the fuck! You scared the shit out of me! How long have you been sitting there?" I said annoyed.
"I asked you first," He said seductively. "My favorite book. Now I asked you a question Leo?" I said with an attitude. "I'm not sure, I was sitting here watching you be so interested in that book you're reading. It was kinda cute." I flushed a bright pink. "You looked so interested in your book I didn't want to stop you but, you know it's sort of time to leave school." I made an oh sound and followed him to his car.
He opened my door and I thanked him and got in. He walked over to his side of the car and started to drive. "You hungry?" He asked me. "Umm. A little I guess." I said. "How about I take you somewhere to eat?" He said kind of pleadingly. "Oh I don't know. I don't have money on me right now so-" I was quickly cut off by him. "Well, you don't need money cause you simply wouldn't be paying. I would be paying and don't say no because I know your mom is not home Liv told me. And I know you don't have anything to do cause Liv told me. And Liv told me you've run out of leftovers to eat for dinner. Soooo, you're coming with me to eat at an Italian restaurant!" He told me demandingly. That was kinda hot. Oh my gosh shut up Lexi you're going fucking crazy stop it ughhh.
He turned up the music and drove with one hand while his other hand was resting on the gear. Her by Chase Atlantic started playing on the radio. I could see his hand slowly move over to my thigh. Like he was nervous to touch me or scared he would hurt me. Leo Hernandez doesn't get nervous at all, especially around me right? I saw his hand grip my thigh as I was thinking. I didn't mind it though. It sort of felt... I don't know... safe I guess. I closed my eyes in my seat and let the air from outside the window blow on my face. I close the window and sit back in my seat again, as I close my eyes while Leo's hand is holding onto my thigh. I let my mind wander as I drift off into sleep.

I watched as she slowly drifted off into sleep. Damn she was pretty even while she is sleeping. If only she wasn't afraid to let me in I would kiss her right here and hold her till she woke up. But I guess holding her thigh will do for now.
I'm surprised she actually let me touch her. I think she's starting to get used to me. I can't wait for the day that she lays in my arms as I play with her hair.

I woke up to a soft, deep voice calling my name telling me to wake up. "Lexi we made it to the restaurant wake up!" Leo told me. I stretched my arms out. "Sorry I feel asleep. How long was I asleep for?" I asked him. "Well, we got here about fifteen minutes ago and it take about fifteen minutes to get here, so about 30 minutes." I turned my head to side curious as to why we got here fifteen minutes ago but he didn't wake me. Or maybe he did wake me but he's been trying to wake me for fifteen minutes now. Oh wow thats embarrassing. Before my thoughts could continue to wonder he answered my question. "I didn't want to wake you earlier. You looked so peaceful I just thought I'd let you sleep a little longer." He said. "Oh thank you!" I said happily.
I realized I might have been screaming in my sleep from the night terrors I get when I sleep. "Umm, did I happen to like scream or yell in my sleep cause if I did i'm so sor-" I was cut off by Leo. "No you didn't, you didn't even wake yourself up." He told me. "Why? If you don't mind me asking, do you normally have nightmares?" He seemed worried. "Uhh. Sorta I wake up like two times every night screaming or I wake up scared. It starting happening when my dad left me so yeah."

Her telling me about how she has nightmares made me sad I mean she doesn't deserve that she's an amazing human being. I mean any other girl I would tell her to get the fuck away from me already. But, she's different from every other girl I met.
