Leonardo's POV.
Tom! I really want to stich his lips up with a sharp needle right now! Why does he have to talk so much?
"Really? I love these too." Zavi's excited voice reached my ears. I looked at her in surprise. She is not making fun of me? She seems genuinely excited.
"Will you share these with me, please?"
I did not know a simple question like this could make me feel so insanely happy.
Feeling like a silly love struck teenager I request Tom to put the tray by the lake, the way he does it normally.
"Please get some more of the lemonade." I instructed while looking at Zavi for conformation if she wanted th
Saira's POV.I eyed the piece of cheese held right under my nose. The smell, oh the heavenly smell. Directing a glare at the owner of the fingers holding it did not have the desired effect. The devil just grinned at me! He knows he has got me!Narrowing my eyes at him I opened my mouth not taking my eyes away from the man. Just as my lips were about to close over the deliciousness it suddenly moved away. Startled I looked at it. The devil gave me an evil smile and popped it in his own mouth!."You did not!" I say shocked."Oh Yeah, did it too!" Leonardo Norcross, exhibiting a total lack of good sense smirked at me!"You are doomed." I say as I get up slowly. "No one,
Leonardo's POV. For a moment there I had thought she was going to ask me to take her back. But the words she said, took me by surprise and relief tumbled through me. Now I don't have to think of ways to stay connected with her.Of course I will be her friend. In my mind I already am."Friends." I held out my hand to her.She raised her hand as she sat, and gave it to me. I grabbed it eagerly, almost as though afraid she could change her mind."I need to go now."That simple sentence wiped away the goofy smile from my face."Why? You said you will have lunch with m
Leonardo's POV. I paced restlessly in my office room. I just cannot sit and wait. Wait for that one phone call, from my investigators. "Do you need a change of shoes big brother? These must already be having holes in them" Mark's crack of a joke made me want to pick him up yet again and throw him out of my office. "Shut up Mark." I said sitting down at last on my chair, only to get up again in a few seconds and resume my pacing. I am too worked up to stay still. "Why has he not called yet? How long can it take to find out a girl's address?" I blurted feeling edgy. "More than fourteen minutes I would say." Mark
Leonardo's POV. She let me hold her for few moments, till I felt her go stiff and pushed at my chest till I loosened my hold on her. She was okay. "Mr . Norcross, what are you doing here?" She asked as she pushed me away with more force intending to slip out of my arms. She continued to try however I am not taking my hands from around her. She can push and pull all she wants to! "Do you know how worried I was Zavi?" I asked her. "Don't ever do this again. After you got down from my car two days back you seemed to have disappeared." "My father- h
Saira's POV. How dare he deny being with Mira? And why is he doing it? He is already aware of my families association with the Johnson's and still he denies being Mira's soon to be fiancé. I felt a soft touch on my cheek. Leonardo! I tried to swat his fingers away only to have him put his arms around my waist and pull me towards him. "Zavi, I almost went mad with worry these last two days." He said softly. His warm brown eyes boring into me. I could feel myself softening towards him. Snap out of it Saira! I looked away with effort. "Mr. Norcross, I don't understand your need to worry like this, but thank you for your concern." I know I am being rude. But I have to be careful with this man. He is breaking through m
Leonardo's POVMy palms are fisted tightly as I watched her walk away and board the bus. I know going after her right now will only push her further away from me.Mark has already damaged whatever little trust or rapport I had built with her. However, I will be damned if I let this little incident deter me away from being with her.Due to the thorough investigations Mikky has done, now I am now aware about how to reach out and get in touch with her. That information includes her home address.I don't bother looking at the two standing next to my car as I seat myself in. Mark quietly gets in and takes his place beside me before I could drive off. I dart a glance towards Mikky nodding my thank you for his efforts
Leonardo's POV. Zavi's face was pale as she stared at Martha. Martha clutched my hand making me look at her. She was staring at Zavi, her face scrunched in confusion and pain. I squeased her hand reassuringly and smiled. Gently I pulled her inside the apartment and made her sit on a couch. Zavi fell on her knees in front of Martha tears rolling down her cheeks. "Mumma!" she gave out a heart wrenching sob before looking at me. "Where did you find her? We thought-" she shivered slightly at some memory perhaps. I looked at her, not sure what to say. I bent down slightly and touched Zavi's shoulder. She turned hear tear strained face towards me "Zavi- are you sure? I think there is some mistake."
Saira's POV.Startled at the sound of my phone ringing I glanced at it. It was the reminder to go to Papa in hospital. I had almost forgotten about the time.Oh God! How am I going to break this news to Papa. He has not been same since the day he got the news of my mother passing away.How will he react when he finds out she is alive?I shivered as the thought ran into my mind once again. My mother is alive! She seems to be struggling to remember the details of the past but she is alive and it is nothing less than a miracle."I need to visit Papa." I told Leonardo."I don't think he would want you to visit him again
