No strings attached - Leon S. Kennedy

Chapter 13

I wake up to an empty bed and rub my eyes, I don't think anything in me believed to ever wake up in Leon's bed without any other activities beforehand, I look down at myself and laugh, i slept with freaking  jeans. Time to find Leon, if he's actually here, though I doubt he'd leave me alone in his apartment. I walk into the living room which was connected to his dining table and kitchen, a sweet smell struck me and i find myself looking at Leon holding two plates of breakfast "I was just about to come and get you" he says and puts the plates down. "It's really just the least i could do, after you stayed with me through yesterday" We sit down, "I acted out of place, I think I still owe you a lot of explaining" I shake my head "I've heard enough yesterday, No one could make something like that up" "Are you sure? If so, how about we make a deal" I look up to him and rest my chin on my fists "Deal?" i repeat "If you ever have questions, ask me, that'd make it easier" I nod and start cutting at my food "Soo, we're not gonna talk about how you slept in jeans? You know i've seen it all" I give him a mean look "Ah there's that look again." he remarks

I stand up and take the plates to bring them into the kitchen and come back, he's sitting on that exact same chair, the one he sat on when things got intense and i flush red. I sit down, sideways on his lap, putting my arms around his neck. "Leon?" I couldn't resist touching him, being close to him, there was only one way for me to keep this going without ruining our new found friendship with my feelings, feelings that he had for Ada. "Amber?" he replies And my face gets close to his, my lips about to meet his "No strings attached?" I whisper on his lips "No strings attached." he answers and presses his lips onto mine, holding my face in his hands. Not long before my hands are in his hair and his hands down my shirt, our lips locked. I couldn't let this go any further, I had to be home and finish all my reports "I gotta go home" I whisper on his lips but he pushes his lips back on mine... fine... a few more minutes, but I really gotta go.. "Leon, we'll be able to finish this some other day" I laugh and get off his lap "What a tease" he scoffs and lets go of my waist "I'll see you at work on Monday?" he asks and I nod "I won't tell on you" I reassure him and put my shoes on. We say goodbye to each other and I drive home.

I really wish I didn't go home, work is already killing me. "Should've just stayed at leons" i mumble to myself as i rest my head on my desk. Nope, there's no time to feel sorry for yourself. 
I'm hoping that I will be able to work in full power again, now that Leon and I made up, i know that he's not lying because he wants anything bad to me, but because he's trying to find out about Raccoon city, my stomach still turns, it still feels horrible to deceive the place i've worked at for so long, do I know that they have made mistakes that they've tried to cover up in a messy way, sadly i do, but were they actually doing anything bad? Or are there things I didn't know.. Shut up head! Back to work.

'Thanks for not telling them, i need closure' i read on my phone as i lay in bed. 'Stop thanking me, I know what it's like to want closure' he's really not going to let this go anytime soon. I catch me smiling to myself and put my phone down, just go to bed, I'll be ove this stupid little crush of mine soon enough, and then I can just go on with my life, like nothing ever happened, like he never happened to me and all the things he's done to my head. How could I fool myself like that? Forgetting about him? I don't think that was ever possible, to forget a man like him. I pull the blanket over myself and turn to the side, putting my phone next to my head and closing my eyes, to just forget him for one moment..

The vibration of my phone shakes me awake again, I've been a very light sleeper for the past year, to think that even a phone vibration could throw me out of bed so easily. I take my Phone and open it 'Kennedy' I sigh and close my eyes for a second before answering the phone, just one moment, i begged for a single moment where I am not reminded about how much I like him, reminded about him. "Not the way to wake a woman up, Kennedy" I sigh into the phone, at 9am, it's the weekend for a reason. "Back to Kennedy? My bad, Torres" I sit up in bed and rub my eyes, something about the way he says it, makes my stomach turn and i can't tell if it's good or bad yet. "What do you need?" I ask, there's always a reason for a phone call "I'm close by later and I've got some of your stuff that you forgot, Could I drop it off?" he asks and I look at my watch "When's later?" not like I've got to be anywhere, but it's easier to pretend like you do. "6pm, I've got someone to meet" my swallow, my thoughts go everywhere, no strings attached, Amber "Alright, see you then" I quickly say and end the call, god am I horrible at pretending. 6 pm, that's enough to sleep for just a few more hours...
