Enough For Him

“Leon,” I said coming up behind him and putting my hand on his back.

He flinched at my touch. “what kind of man am I, Liz. If I hadn’t fucked up, I could’ve protected you” I sighed, I knew this would happen.

I bent down and started to pick up the frames that had fallen on the ground. “it’s not your fault Leon, they were going to hurt Jayson it wouldn’t have changed even if you were there” I said to him. It was true.

From the look in his eyes, I could tell he wanted to ask a lot more questions and I wished I could find the courage to talk but right now it didn’t seem that way.

“I’m here, Jayson’s still here there’s nothing to worry about any more,” I told him. Leon looked at me like I was crazy.

Before I could move, he pulled at my arm bringing me close. “nothing to worry about” hew wrapped his arms around my waist. “I could have lost you, both of you” he whispers.” Don’t say I already have I don’t need this bullshit I just need to know you’re okay” he said glancing down at me.

My heart was beating hard against my chest.

“Tell me you’re okay so I don’t have the urge to kill someone tonight” he whispers brushing his finger against my lips.

“I’m okay” I finally said. He breathes deeply before finally releasing me. I stepped back slowly before disappearing out and back int the guest room. My heart racing and my breaths heavy.

I heard another bang before I closed my eyes tightly and wished for sleep.

I always wondered how girls got back with their husbands but now I’m starting to realise that when you love someone that much its easy to forgive.

I couldn’t wait to get there, I had imagined it for so many weeks and finally, today was the day that I would get to see Leon. 6 months ago, Leon had me crying when he told me his parents were moving and that he would be going with them.

We were both finishing college and trying to have a long distant relationship, it was challenging but we loved each other.

Leon has no idea that I’m coming today, and I plan to give him one hell of a surprise.

I arrived at the usual hangout space that him and his friends would stay. Kaleb, who was Leon’s best friend and captain of the ice hockey team planned everything.

I walked inside the diner and searched for him. Kaleb saw me first and winked over at me. I looked and recognised the dark hair and normal baseball cap of Leon. He even wore glasses which was a change, but he looked even better.

“Hey, boys,” I said walking up to the group. Kaleb nudged Leon. He took one look at me and smiled but instead of being excited he just turned away.

Uh what.

“Hello gorgeous, Leon’s taken but I’ll gladly have you” one of the other guys reached for my hand pulling me to him.

What was going on? Didn’t any of them recognise me.

I just stared at Leon. He must have felt my eyes on him because he stared back. Kaleb was sat next to him practically banging his head on the table with annoyance. I must admit I did go on facetime with him this morning. I did change my hair a bit, instead of my hair dyed blonde I changed back to my naturally dark brown hair.

I also wore glasses.

“Look you’re cute, but I do have a girlfriend,” Leon said lifting his eyes from his phone. Good that you know that.

At least he is loyal Liz, cut him some slack.

I pulled away from the others walking close enough to stand between his parted thighs.

He leaned back giving me a view of his fit body. He was actually here, after 6 months I could actually touch him. And boy is that what I did.

I brought my hand up to grab the back of his head moving down to grip his neck. Finally, I got him where I wanted. His eyes took in my face, moving from my eyes and moving down.

“surprise baby,” I said as I felt his hands finally move to my waist.

His eyes widened before he gripped my hips and pulled me straight onto his lap.

“Lizzy, you’re actually fucking here shit,” he said pulling me tightly to his chest. My dark curls were gripped by his strong hands and he quickly claimed my lips in abandon as his friends hollered.

“You fucking sly shit” he punched Kaleb on the shoulder.

Leon kissed me hard and frantic. “fuck I’ve missed you,” he said wrapping me in a tight hug that made me smile wildly. God, do I fucking love this man.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

I woke up to the sound of crying, realising that I was dreaming of a past memory I quickly woke the fuck up and realised that I wasn’t some girl in high school, I was a mother and my baby needed me.

I through the blanket off my legs and rushed into the room. I found Jayson quietly crying as he was being lifted into Leon’s arms. His chest was bare, with a pair of shorts hanging low on his hips.

“I’ve got you jay, daddy’s here,” he said as lightly rubbed our sons back.

Why couldn’t we just be happy.

Leon had agreed to stay with Jayson as I needed to calm my own mothers heart. What was supposed to be a quiet visit to my moms turned into a full-blown media frenzy.

“It’s like they don’t have a life” George says as he peeks outside from the window at mom’s house. I didn’t think it would be this bad but seems like they wanted to know what happened so they could be the first to report on it. A lot of people wanted to know why I was with Leon and I get that 100%

This is why it’s already the evening and I am still here.

“This is fucking rich” I mutter scrolling through Instagram and finding a video. George quickly ran over grabbing my phone.

It was a video of Emily commenting on what she thought about everything. Her usual black blazer with her high ponytail as she walked from her car and into a restaurant.

“I only wish the best for Leon and his family in this time. Nobody deserves that and I hope Charlize gets all the support, but I think we all know she is one strong woman” I scoffed hearing her voice. Like she’s a fucking saint.

She seemed to finally use her brain over the last few months and stayed away from Leon, not like I cared anyway we were over he could have her. But she was clever enough to realise she was only a side piece to Leon.

There’s been lots of speculation to whether they actually had sex, I even had no idea and frankly I don’t want to know. Does cheating only count if you’ve had sex or is it the flirting, the texts and the kissing because they definitely did that.

“Are you still working with Leon?” someone asked her. From my space on the sofa my ears perked up. “Yes, but I haven’t had direct communication with him and that’s understandable. He loves his family and wants to build that again. That’s all I will say, thank you” I can see why people liked her.

She had a way with words I’ll give her that and if she hadn’t gone after Leon when she knew he was engaged I would have probably tried being friends with her.

“what a bitch” I heard mom mutter as she painted her nails at the table.

“mom!” Both me and George shouted at her. She just rolled her eyes and carried on.

I can see that it hurt her, it’s clear that she wanted Leon all to herself and she had that for a little time, but Leon truly had distanced himself and I’m proud that he is spending a lot of time with jay and its clear to a lot of people that he’s creating a relationship with him.

I would like to get out of the house but at the same time I think it’s good that Leon and jay spend as much time together.
