Enough For Him

Many of our arguments were down to Leon suggesting we get a nanny to help at home, but I didn’t want that. I wanted to take care of my boy by myself. I wanted to know what makes him smile, what’s the reason for his tears.

I admit I spent most of my time with Jayson and mine and Leon’s date nights reduced majorly. My mind goes back to the first night we spent together.

Flashback

I walked down the steps from my building, the cold wind made my cheeks feel hot and cold at the same time as I was burning up.

“wait, don’t move” I heard Leon shout at me from his position by his car at the bottom of these stairs. I stood rooted on the step.

I watched him grab his phone and holding at me. I guessed he was taking a picture. Leon is obsessed with these candid pictures of me, for my birthday he made me a small album full of them.

“surely my girlfriend can’t look beautiful in this horrible weather, I must be really fucking lucky,” he said snapping a few pictures.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Even though I just got a bad grade on the exam, his charismatic attitude was enough to make me smile and forget about my bad grade for a while.

He met me on the steps. “are you ready for tonight?” he asked wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

I stared over at him confused. “you didn’t forget, did you?” he looks genuinely hurt. My mind raced to remember if we had planned anything.

You’re staying at mine tonight since it’s our 6-month anniversary but seems as though it’s only me that’s excited” he pretended to sulk even though I knew he wasn’t really mad.

“I’m sorry Leon, I’m just so stressed, exams were never this hard I used to be really good with them” I bowed my head. Not only am I a bad student but an even worse girlfriend.

He grabbed my waist spinning me around. “I know baby, but lucky for you, you have an amazing tutor as your boyfriend. From you I will take kisses as payment” he stared at him watching that smirk appear over that handsome face.

How did I deserve this man?

I grabbed his handsome face and placed a light kiss on his lips. He stood there surprised “what was that for,” he asked me. we had only really become public with our relationship since we had to hide it from our parents for so long.

It was rare that I would kiss him in public.

“take it as my deposit, if your services are good, I expect to get my deposit back after our sessions” a boisterous laugh left his lips.

He picked me up bridal style running down the rest of the steps and putting me into his car.

“seems like I’m rubbing off on you”

He says making sure I was safely inside and had my seatbelt on.

My face heated up at his words. He knew exactly what he’d done by saying that.

“I love that you still get nervous around me, I never want you to get bored of me Lizzy, never,” he said linking our fingers together over the middle console.

How could I get bored of him, I’m worried he’s the one that will get bored of me?

When we arrived at his house I stood in the hallway with my overnight bag. All thoughts about exams were gone and now I was just nervous about tonight.

We’ve been going out for a while, but I’ve never stayed with him in his house in his room.

“why don’t you drop your stuff in my room and then meet me down, I’ll start cooking,” he said peering around the corner.

I nodded turning around and heading upstairs. I knew where his room was, many times I’ve been here to watch movies and study with him before he would drive me home.

I opened the door and headed towards his bed and dropped my bags down.

I smoothed my hand down the bed. He must have changed his sheets they still smelt fresh. His room smelt exactly like him.

I removed my shoes. Realising I hadn’t brought any warm jumpers I decided to use one of his.

I opened the wardrobe.

I found a big white hoodie and put it on. Instantly I was enveloped in warmth and it even smelled like him.

I made my way back downstairs and headed for the kitchen.

I found Leon chopping up tomatoes as he had music playing from his speaker as he danced to the music.

I couldn’t help but laugh at his dancing.

His eyes met mine quickly. A joke was probably about to leave his lips until he spotted what I was wearing.

“I love seeing you in my clothes, come here give your handsome boyfriend a kiss” I rolled my eyes, but I walked towards him. He placed the knife down wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me close.

We hugged at first, I noticed his neck showing the tattoo he recently got. I placed a light kiss on the top of the tattoo.

He stilled, tightening his hold on me. “do that again” he groaned. I smiled loving that I could make him feel good.

“what … this?” I said as I lowered my lips kissing his neck letting my tongue wet his skin slightly.

I smirked hearing his moan.

He released me pushing me away “you little minx, get over there before I punish you” he pointed to the other side of the kitchen island.

His tone was humorous, but his eyes were piercing at mine.

I could tell he was serious as well.

Over the last few months, I’ve learnt to love Leon and his wicked humour even though at school he can be serious and one of the popular guys.

He was my everything growing up. A part of me wishes I made sure to spend time with Leon even though we had a baby, why did I neglect the only man that ever really loved me for who I was.

I stared at my phone looking at the missed calls all from Leon, my brother and Hailey. I’ve distanced myself from that day in the office. The media got pictures of me walking into his office with Emily right behind me.

I needed to distance myself and gather my thoughts. Leon has actually been travelling quite a lot which meant that Jayson spent most of the last two weeks with me and my family.
