Enough For Him

He was being extra cautious around me.

We ate quietly when Jayson finished, he ran over to his toys and started playing. I sneaked Leon a glance seeing him shovelling granola into his mouth.

I decided not to push it; I was thinking too much about last night I needed to give him his space to gather his thoughts. From months of not letting him touch me, I am positive that last night came as a great surprise.

I finished grabbing my drink and heading outside. I laid down on the chair starting to scroll through my Instagram as a distraction. I saw that many people were questioning us about being on the same holiday together.

I scrolled through the many pictures I had of Leon yesterday. I found one where he was smiling as he walked down the boulevard. I posted a few that Leon took of me leaving his photo last.

When I posted it, I tagged him. It didn’t take long for people to start attacking in the comments.

Aw Adorable

Are they back together???

Goals

I love them, they’re so cute together

I smiled at the comments, I only cared about the positive ones.

“Charlize” Leon shouted from inside.

I giggled standing up meeting him inside. He was staring at his phone with annoyance.

“You’re trying to give me a stroke I swear” he ran his fingers through his hair.

“what’s so bad about sharing some pictures of our trip” I asked innocently even though I knew exactly what effect this would have on us. He shoved his phone into his pocket.

I crossed my arms, why was he being so angry this morning, I would have thought he would be happy maybe jumping up and down with glee. Isn’t this what he wanted.

“perfect, now I feel like an idiot” I mumbled. “you don’t want this anymore right was the chase just fun for you, well fine ill just delete all these stupid pictures “I went straight to my profile ready to delete them and erase these memories from my mind.

Leon suddenly grabbed my arm pulling me against his body. “don’t be stubborn, nothing has changed I still want you Liz, but shouldn’t we sort this out privately and not involve the public” he said tucking my hair behind my ear.

I closed my eyes feeling him gently touch my face. “I’m holding back so much right now, it’s impossible for me to act normal” he whispered. This sparked my interest.

“why are you holding back you idiot” I smacked his chest. He stared at me a small smile creeping up to his lips.

He moved his hands to wrap around my waist.

“Do you still think I will regret it?” I asked him. He lowered his head not making eye contact with me. that was my answer.

“that train has passed Leon, you would know if I regretted it and believe me, I don’t plan on changing my mind” I’ve been able to sleep on it and my mind hasn’t changed I know exactly what I want.

Leon brought me closer angling his head. “I won’t stop proving myself to you Liz, I want to work for your love again,” he said making me roll my eyes.

What else is there to prove. He’s been an amazing father to Jayson ever since he even risked his business and not work with Emily to get me back.

“did Miss Charlize just roll her eyes at me” he whispered. I stopped breathing for a few seconds. I remember him saying that to me in the past.

“That’s not very nice” he added. I sighed placing my head on his chest.

He chuckled deeply as I did so. I guess I’m not the only one who keeps remembering our past. Like it was easy to forget.

“don’t, you’re going to make me cry,” I said into his chest. He just rubbed my back soothing me and calming me down.

“please don’t cry Liz,” he said lifting my head. “not only do I hate to see you cry but a certain boy might kill me for making his mother cry” my eyes shot open. Shit, where’s Jayson. I turned in Leon’s arms relieved to see Jayson still playing.

“scared of a toddler are you,” I said turning back to him.

I watched as he nodded his head not even denying it.

I’ve got to admit Jayson character is starting to come through. If I’m not careful he’s going to be the one bossing me around and that’s not something I really want happening anytime soon.

We decided to get ready and head out, our plan was to go and explore the island. When we exited the car that was provided for us, I felt Leon grab my hand.

I looked down and watched as held my hand tightly. “Don’t let go “he whispered.

We walked together following a tour guide. I couldn’t help but smile as we did so, Jayson was swinging my hand as we walked. He was happy too.

This was it; this was all I ever wanted.

Leon

Am I dreaming?

Liz held my hand tightly as she looked at everything we were passing. Bali was honestly the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to.

Being here with Liz and Jayson is just making it even better, I honestly thought that I would be living in hell on this trip. I imagined that Liz would make it uncomfortable for me, but she’s actually made it the easiest.

She actually wanted me to kiss her, touch her, hold her hand like this.

What the hell did I do in my past life to deserve this?Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Liz wanted me to bring up her past last night. She thought that what she did years ago measured up to what I did to her. It didn’t even come close.

She kissed a guy out of jealousy for another woman but what I did was much worse. I betrayed her. How she had managed to forgive me is beyond me.

When she posted online earlier, I was angry not because of her posting but to read the comments that people were leaving. Calling her all sorts of vulgar names.

The last time anybody called her those names was back when we became public.

“I’ve never had so many girls try to talk to me,” Luke said joining our table.

We were all having lunch. Last night I walked into a party holding hands with my beautiful girlfriend. I grinned, saying that will never get boring. So many months of sneaking around was worth it now.

Now everyone knew, and I was officially unavailable for anyone who wasn’t Charlize.
