21 ~ Leo

"I'm back," She sighed, returning from her bathroom break.

"Finally. I thought you'd left me to die of boredom." I said exaggeratedly.

She chuckled, "I love you too much to let that happen to you."

"Thank you." I exhaled.

"It's not so bad." She said to encourage me.

"There's a reason my dad makes me attend these functions." I told her.

"Networking?"

"That. And he doesn't want to die of boredom."

"What? Is there something on my face?" I questioned.

"I'm not staring at you silly. There's some girl who doesn't want to get her eyes off you over there."

"Who?" I asked in surprise, willing to turn and see for myself.

Leah gripped my arm quickly, "Don't turn. She's walking this way."

I stayed still, curi
