Leo was stunned when he saw her, and she was so sexy in that outfit; damn, even her smile was gorgeous, maybe it was because they''ve been apart for a while, anything she did seemed gorgeous.


    ''''let''s go; '''' ire said as she walked to the passenger''s seat and got in. Leo entered the driver''s side, and turned on the ignition; he peeked at her in the car, she was looking a little too happy about this, was she eager to hang out with him?


    ''''Where do you want to go to? ''''


    He asked as he drove out of her house, ire stretched herself on her seat, ''''anywhere you want, ''''


    Leo smiled and hit the road.


    Before long they drove into a famous bar in the city. She smiled as they stepped out of the car and walked into the bar.


    ''''A bottle of Johnnie Walker and two sses please; '''' ire ordered and Leo sat beside her, it was obvious she was out to get drunk.


    The bar attendant brought her order and ced it in front of them;


    ''''Your new hairstyle fits you; '''' ire smiled as she poured the drink onto the sses and passed Leo his.


    ''''Thank you; '''' she watched as the hair bangs he had brushed backward fall forward again in a sexy way; it made her gulp and look away, every single time she looked at him he appeared more irresistible than thest.


    ''''I was surprised when you agreed to go out since you''ve been avoiding me for some time now; '''' he said, drinking from the cup.


    ire sighed, licking her lower lip which was already red from the alcohol; ''''you can''t me me, right? ''''


    Leo understood what she meant but it still hurt when she said it;


    ''''I didn''t want her to think we''re doing anything so I had to step back; ''''


    ire''s hands clutched on the ss and she swallowed three mouthfuls;


    ''''Take it easy, you don''t want to get drunk; '''' thest thing he wanted now was her drunk, so he shifted the bottle from her;


    '''' don''t worry, one bottle of this isn''t enough to get me drunk, and not when we are even sharing it.''''


    Leo nodded but still didn''t ce the bottle in front of her;


    ''''you know, I really missed our friendship a lot, but it was for the best, I didn''t want Hazel to feel ufortable because of me.'''' She bit her tongue to stop herself from telling him how much she wanted to reach out to him. She made her tone tonic enough so he won''t feel the pain in her voice. She missed him.


    ''''You don''t know how much it broke me when you stayed away, when you out rightly avoided me, it hurt me, but I couldn''t do anything because I didn''t want to make you ufortable, I figured that if this was what you wanted, then so be it. ''''


    Who said this is what I want…


    ire bit her lip to stop herself from saying these words; she immediately raised her ss and drank from it, gulping the words back down her throat.


    ''''Things are fine between you two, right? '''' She stretched her hand and took the bottle filling her cup again;


    Things were not fine; they fought every day because he couldn''t be intimate with her. He told her to give him time but she wasn''t having it anymore. After this night, he was going to tell her about ire. He didn''t want her to feel used, so he would tell her how it all started and how he left her because she didn''t feel the same way he did. It might be tough to take in, and if she wanted to leave him, it was fine but it was better than having to fight for the same thing every single day.


    ''''Yeah, things are good. I''m going to see her parents this weekend. '''' ire''s body froze and the hand that was holding the ss shook.


    ''''you said what? '''' she didn''t want to sound sad but the alcohol betrayed her, her voice trembled as she spoke but thankfully Leo did not notice;


    ''''Her family wants to know who she''s dating, so we''re going to her home in the weekend. ''''


    '''' Oh; '''' ire turned forward, her eyes blurred and her chest hurt. Why was she still hurting too much?


    ''''What about you? Are you seeing anyone now? ''''


    ire shook her head; ''''no, been too upied for that now, ''''


    ''''I heard that you are going to cast in Hustle in Paris? ''''Leo asked and ireughed;


    ''''No, just a guest character with three scenes, nothing huge;'''' she was thankful that he changed the topic; she couldn''t bear another dose of those painful words.


    ''''Wow, that''s great, if you do well, you can have a career in acting too. ''''


    ire shook her head, ''''no, I doubt, but if I have time, I might do that. ''''


    They chatted for a while before they finally decided to go home. When they stepped outside it was already past 9.


    ''''How time flies; '''' Leomented when he noticed it was dark already. Throughout the trip to her house, they talked like never before.


    ire hasn''t felt this happy in a long while. She wished this day would not end but sadly they pulled up in her home.


    Leo stopped in front of her house and she watched him walk to her side and pull open the door;


    ''''Thanks for today; I''m happy we finally talked after all these while. ''''


    ire smiled; ''''yeah, me too. '''' the lights in the garden highlighted his features in the night and she didn''t know why he looked so irresistible. His eyes, lips… the way he stared at her; ire pulled her eyes away.


    ''''Goodnight; '''' If she went in now, she might never have this chance again, maybe she should let herself be selfish, maybe she should be greedy just this once.


    ire swallowed hard as she struggled with herself;


    ''''Yeah goodnight; '''' Leo replied with a small smile on his lips''


    She nodded and turned around against her will, walking towards her house, she had not taken up to five steps when she turned around and walked to Leo


    ''''Damn it…''''


    She breathed in frustration before she pulled him down and kissed him like she was starved.
