Leyton's POV
As I laid there next to Skylin, I couldn't help but to feel lucky. I was happy that she had come back and I told myself that I would never ever let her go, well unless she is the one that decided that everything is too much for her and decides to pack up and leave.
I finally closed my eyes and let myself sleep. I fell asleep for about 2 hours before I was woken up with the urge to vomit, making me shoot up from bed and run to the bathroom, on my way there I heard gentle footsteps following after me. As I was puking my guts out Sky rubbed my back and after I had finished I rinsed my mouth and popped some gum into my mouth in an attempt to get rid of the taste and smell of vomit from my mouth. When I turned around to face Sky I saw worry etched over her whole face. I smiled a small reassuring smile which didn't seem to help at all.
"I'm okay, Baby." I said in an attempt to reassure her even though I probably looked far from it.
"You're pale and definitely not okay." She said. "Did you drink any medication?" She asked.
"I did, Doctor Dante said that the medication itself might cause me to vomit a couple of times before I stop." I said climbing back onto my bed.
"I'm going to go to the kitchen to get you some food." She said. "You have to eat." She said with a shrug probably noticing my look of disdain. I had no appetite besides everything that I've eaten so far comes back out after 2 or 3 hours.
I watched her exit the room leaving me in complete silence. I sat alone for a good 25 minutes before she returned with soup making me frown.
"Alright come on, open up." She said raising the spoon filled with vegetable soup to my lips. I couldn't help but to frown at her. "Come on Leyton, do it for me and my very concerned heart." She said with an adorable pout that just made me want to kiss her, so instead of kissing her I opened my mouth and let Skylin feed me.
"Okay I'm good now." I said after eating about 7 spoons.
" Okay I'll be back in a second, let me just take this dish to the kitchen." She said standing up.
"Wait." I said.
"What?" She asked with worry and confusion.
"Don't I get a kiss." I asked and watched as amusement filled her eyes. She smiled at me and pecked my lips before she stood up straight, took the dish and walked out the door leaving me surprised. I wasn't expecting her to actually kiss me.
I stayed for a couple of minutes in my boredom. I couldn't work but luckily my dad was helping with the running of the business in my absence. Instead of Skylin coming in, I saw my mother who had a smile on her face.
"I told you that she'd come back." She said in a singsong voice. "Judging by the comfy sleeping position that I found you two in earlier I think I am right to say that you two are now an item and that you have fixed everything and told her about your true identity." My mother said with a smirk.
"Not exactly." I responded.
"What do you mean?" She asked as her smile dropped.
"Well I told her about my feelings for her and I told her about my worries, but I haven't told her that I'm billionaire, Leyton Santiago maybe she doesn't even know me." I said.
"Leyton you better tell her before that information tears you apart, you never know how things like this can change a situation. She doesn't know that if someone was to see you with her she'll be flooded by the paparazzi and news reporters before she can even blink. From what I've seen I don't think that she likes too much attention on her, she has the right to know what she is getting herself into." Mother said shooting me with a stern look and exiting through door leaving me to my thoughts. I knew that she was right, but it wasn't easy to just say it to her.
I lay on the bed as my mind went over what my mother had said and the honesty of it. After about an additional hour of sitting alone I heard the door open and this time Sky was the one to come in. I gave her a small forced smile to which she just frowned.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"It's nothing I'm just tired is all." I responded lying through my teeth. "Where did you go off to, I couldn't sleep without you." I said with a little pout.
"Crybaby." She said pecking my pouty lips, which I won't lie made me feel like I was floating in heaven. "But if you must know, I was with Olivia, she wants to see you." Sky said spooning me from behind and laying her head on my shoulder. I felt a wave of guilt overflow me as I thought about Olivia. "You know while I was downstairs your mother told me something." She said making me tense up a little, I didn't want to believe that my mother would have told her about my true identity yet.
"What did she tell you." I asked trying to take out the fear from my voice. Nothing was as bad as learning the truth from someone else rather than the person that you loved, I had felt that first hand.
"She told me that this isn't the first time that you've done something like this to yourself, the difference between now and then is that you ended up in hospital back then. Why do you do this to yourself, what made you do this last time?" She asked, making me turn around to face her. I gently caressed her cheek and watched as she leaned her cheek into my palm making me smile a little smile as I started my story.
"There is only one person that I have been with before now." I said taking a deep breath. "And that is Macey, Olivia's mother. She and I met in primary and dated in high school. I fell in love with her and would have done anything for her, but then I found out through her brother that she was leaving for college, I was heartbroken, why didn't she tell me, I tried calling her but she didn't answer. I called and called and finally gave up and after 6 months of trying, when I asked her brother who never liked me for some reason he would just snicker at me and then send me off." I said looking at Sky to find that all her attention was on me.
"Macey finally reached out to me in the next year, I was 19 at the time and I was happy, my feelings for her were still there so I was happy that she finally reached out. We would talk and then she would disappear and reappear for the next 3 years. I told my sister about this and she told me that I was probably Macey's backup plan or something and of course I refused that idea, and came up with excuses for her. When I was 22 years old Macey came back, but something about her had changed. I didn't pay much attention to it though thinking that she was just overwhelmed by being back." I continued.
"Before I knew it Macey was pregnant, I was scared but overall happy. The girl that I loved was pregnant with my baby. One night about 6 months into Macey's pregnancy I got a call from a girl who claimed to know Macey from college, she told me that Macey actually had a boyfriend and that she was just using me as a rebound, I of course didn't want to believe it, but I had seen signs that showed me that Macey wasn't really mine. She was secretive and she made sure to lock her phone. She never wanted me to even shoot a glimpse at it. One day Macey got angry, I don't know what angered her but she was fuming, in her moment of anger she told me everything. How she was just using me to get her boyfriend Josh back, how she didn't love me and she planned on leaving and going back to Josh once she had the baby. After giving birth Macey did just what she said she would do, she had Olivia and signed all of her rights to me without a hastle. I was so devasted, Macey had actually left and never looked at me with a second glance. I buried myself into my work, barely got sleep and I had no appetite. It went on for 6 months before I collapsed at the office. A friend of mine and my colleague found me and called the ambulance, the next thing that I knew I was at the hospital, my brother, mother, sister, father and Charlotte were there. They told me that I had been asleep for 5 days, my mother was angry and shouted at me telling me that I had a beautiful daughter who needed me and that I wouldn't be able to take care of her if I was dead or in a coma so ever since then, Charlotte would make sure that I slept and ate enough, and I did my best to stay healthy for Olivia, until recently. In a way I cannot handle girls." I said finishing my story and trying to make a joke only Sky wasn't smiling.
"What's wrong?" I asked worried about her silence and the tears in her eyes.
Instead of replying she pulled me into a hug. "I'm so sorry, you've been through more than I expected." She continued looking at me with a watery smile.
"Don't cry Baby." I gently said wiping the tears from her eyes. "It's been over 4 years now." I said amazed that my story touched her as much as it did.
"I'm emotional." She said making me laugh in amusement.
"Don't worry about all of that, I'm happy now and I have you. It all worked out in the end." I said raking my hand through her hair in order to help her calm down.
"I think that you need more sleep than me." I teased making her laugh through her tears.
"Maybe I do." She said as she laid her head on my chest. "But first." She said jumping up and running out of my bedroom door leaving me in utter shock as I stared at the now empty spot besides me, but she quickly came back a mere minute later with a bucket. "If the urge to you know, puke comes back just puke in this." She said placing it on the side of my bed.
"Thank you." I said with appreciation.
"You're welcome, now take a nap." She said making her way to the door.
"Only if you stay here." I said to her.
"You're getting too used to this." She responded with amusement dancing in her eyes.
"Can't a man enjoy some quality sleeping time with his girlfriend?" I asked looking innocently at her.
"Girlfriend?" She asked looking at me with surprise. "I might not have dating experience, but I believe that you ask the girl to be your girlfriend first." She said with a smirk.
"Alright. Skylin, will you do me the honour of being my girlfriend?" I asked her with utmost seriousness.
"I would say yes if we had gone on a date or something first." She said leaving me shocked, what had happened to my sweet Skylin. She then looked at me and burst into uncontrollable laughter, leaving me confused.
"What?" I asked feeling lost.
"It's nothing and Leyton." She said approaching me.
"Yes?" I hesitantly asked as she got onto the bed.
"I would like to be your girlfriend, as long as we won't rush through anything." She stated.
"Okay, I'll go at your pace, no rush." I said with an uncontrollable smile. I couldn't help but to brush my lips against hers, making her quietly moan. I gently bit and pulled at her lower lip in a teasing manner, just for her to press her lips onto mine as she wove her fingers into my hair letting me lead the kiss, but this time she responded to my kiss. We passionately kissed until we ran out of air.
"Nap." She said laying her cheek on my chest as she closed her eyes. I began playing with her hair again and listened to her sigh in contentment. I waited until her breath evened out before I closed my eyes and fell into a peaceful well deserved sleep, with my lips still pulled into a grin at the amount of luck that I had.
