CHAPTER 7

Mia's POV

I stirred in my sleep and felt my body touch a warm and masculine body. I smiled and moved closer and hugged the masculine body more. I smiled again. Wait!! A masculine body!! What the hell is a masculine body doing by my side? I got scared immediately and started shivering. I slowly and fearfully opened my eyes and saw Leo sleeping peacefully. I screamed my lungs out and he jumped with a start. I was shocked to see Leo in my house. Leo apologized to me, and immediately I started to remember the events of the previous night and realized that I'm the cause of his presence here in my house.

I started apologizing profusely and he also started to apologize and said he didn't do anything which I know and believe he didn't do anything. I even forced him to stay by my side. I remembered pulling him back when he tried to leave. I became extremely embarrassed but still tried to keep a straight face. It was a weekend so I asked him to wash down while I prepare breakfast because I was really hungry which might be due to the drinking from the previous night. I remember drinking so much when I saw Leo. My love for him sometimes hurt me so much because it was one-sided and he didn't know anything about it, and he didn't love me or felt anything for me. I also remembered the scene in his office when he was having sex with another lady. 

He took his bath in the washroom in my bedroom and after he was done I also washed down and went to prepare breakfast for us.

We sat at the dining table together and ate and I was extremely shy and embarrassed. 

I couldn't look at his face and just bowed my head down and concentrated on my breakfast. He looked so masculine and handsome and I wished he wouldn't leave my house and just stay with me. I started stealing glances at him and my heart was beating fast.

I cleared my throat and he looked at me, I apologized shyly and he accepted the apologies and said he didn't mind because I made him laugh.

I asked if we could be friends and he readily agreed and said we were already friends since he brought me home and spent the night. 

We also exchanged contacts and I begged him to stay for lunch.

After a lot of convincing, he agreed to stay for lunch.

He asked why I was staying alone and I told him I enjoyed being alone, but my mum visited me often so I didn't feel lonely. I asked if he also stayed alone and he said yes but have people who work for him in his house like maids, drivers, and other workers.

He also asked about my friend Lovia and I told him Lovia is my best friend and we have been friends since we were young and have always been together. I also asked about Ryan and he told me Ryan was his best friend too and just like us they have also been friends since they were young and have always been together. I asked what Ryan does and he told me Ryan was a doctor. I was impressed by their achievements as friends and I told him and he also said he liked our achievements as friends. We both prayed our friendships would last for long.

We talked about a lot of things and laughed and watched movies.

I prepared lunch and we ate and after I packaged some food for him to take home. He didn't want to take it because he said he already had maids who cooked for him but I forced him to take it and he finally took it and thanked me and said it meant a lot to him and then he left. 

I felt great and happy for the moments we spent together, our conversations, and the fact that I prepared food for him and he took it. 

I went to pick up my car from the club and decided to pass the mall and shop for some stuff for myself and also get something to drink. After that, I came back home.

I Was thinking about how Leo and how we talked and laughed with each other when we are together. Even the way he ate was nice. He ate so gently and nicely. I admire everything about him. 

When he first woke up I was shocked to see him by my side. Who would believe that Leo wouldn't mind bringing me home and staying by my side? 

I was so happy and felt special and for a second I thought he also liked me. But I'm not one to imagine or conclude things until I have enough evidence or he has told me he felt something for me. So no matter what he does I don't automatically think he likes me. I called Lovia immediately after I got home to tell her everything that happened in the morning and afternoon. And also asked her to tell me what happened the previous night and she told me everything I laughed and told her I felt embarrassed when I woke up. She told me not to feel embarrassed because I didn't do anything much and I looked cute. And she said she wondered what made Leo act all nice the previous night. She said he thought he was cold and didn't care about anyone.

I spent the rest of my day ffantasizingabout Leo, how we would love each other, how he would fall madly in love with me, and how he would make love to me. I prayed he would fall in love with me too. I wondered if he could ever fall in love with me. We were even two worlds apart in terms of financial status. I thought of both the good and bad and gave myself about a thousand and one reasons why Leo could never fall in love with me. I'm not even sure I was his type. My heart ached again.

I kept thinking about him till I slept off.

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing and picked it up and immediately froze at the voice

on the other end.
