Before Alison could reply, Leonardo beat her to it. He crouched to the height of the little lady before him, she continued staring curiously at him, her eyes demanding a response. She looks bold and demanding."Ask me, Samantha, don't ask your mom," he said, earning a raised brown from him."Mommy, he knows my name?" she question a bit surprised, but still wary about him."How do you know my name?" She asked."Your mom told me," he responded, Alison also nodded in agreement with that."Hmm, Can... Sam also know your name?" Her hands toyed with her doll, she looked nervous."Of course, my name is Leonardo, you can call me Leo if you can't say it."She mouthed his name for a moment, "Leo, are you my mom's friend?"Alison marveled at the way Sam questioned Leonardo, she would let them work it out themselves.Though she wasn't very comfortable with the last question she asked, she wondered what response Leonardo would give."Yes, she is my friend."She left the duo alone to plate Samantha
Alison felt lighter, than air as Leonardo inched his mouth closer to her wiping out any remaining millimeters their faces had left, he kissed her thoroughly, his tongue intertwining with hers.She could hear the fast beating of her heart pounding hard on her chest, and she could feel his it pounded even harder.He finally stopped, giving her a moment to catch her breath, his gaze was so intense she was sure turning into a puddle would be her next option.Her lips tingled in ways she never expected, her body felt alive, extra alive.He made her alive, he breathed air into her dull lifeless form all she could see were bright colors lighting up the grey shades in her life.He gently rested his head on her, breathing hard.The kiss left them both breathless, lifting his eyelids open, he gently cupped the sides of her face staring into her eyes.All she could see were the indecipherable depth of pure, raw emotions, he felt so much for her.She has never seen a man that loved her this much.
Love is a strange sweet feeling, it leaves you confused and yet clear.Leonardo has never felt the surge of happiness and contentment as he was feeling today. He cuddled beside Alison watching the movie he recommended, she seemed okay with it at first, until he looked down and saw her sleeping peacefully.She looked so adorable in her sleep, with her hair resting softly in her face, his hands itched to remove her hair from her face, and he did her had no reservations about proving her love for him, given that she confessed her love for him.It still felt surreal but it was the truth, he reaches down gently removing the strands on her face, her beauty never ceased to stun him every moment, his gaze went down to her lips, she was a bit overwhelmed by their kiss earlier, but she accepted all of it. She finally accepted all of him, he reached down kissing her forehead intimately.His heart swelled more in love, Alison stirred under his arms, she looked startled as she woke up, "Did I fall
Alison woke up, a bit groggy, the doorbell ringing continuously. She put on her bedroom slippers, and went downstairs, trying to wipe out the blurry vision bent on blinding her way. With a twist, the door opened and she is met with the biggest bouquet she has ever seen It was so big, she doubted it would fit through her door, without a struggle. The delivery man behind the bouquet who seemed invisible earlier turned to her, he checks his notepad once more, his expression bored. "Are you miss Alison?" He asked reading out her name from the pad, she noticed his light southern accent. "Yes," she replied. "Then this order is for you ." He jutted the note pad forward, "Do sign here, and here." He pointed to the place she was to sign, "Can I ask who this order is from?" She enquired a bit curious. "No name, anonymous." The delivery man replied shrugging. After she finished signing, he collected his pen and handed her the flower. Though it looked big, it was light and easy to carr
The bright sunny day signified that a day at the park would end up enjoyable and slightly sweaty. What Alison was afraid of was Samantha getting a trigger, that might push her to another ashmatic attack, but her primary medications were in her utility bag. She drove slowly into the park, and killed her engine, strapping out of her car seat. She went over to Sam unleashing her from the seat belt. Gently she got her out, and wore her a mask to prevent her from inhaling dust. She squatted low adjusting it, "Baby, if you feel uncomfortable tell Mommy, okay?" Sam bobbed her head in agreement. Using her bright blue eyes, she scanned the whole park her eyes gleaming in delight. "Mommy, where is Leo?" "He said he would be here." She gave a reply. Alison smiled briefly at Sam, closing the door behind her, it was a good question though, Where is Leonardo? She scanned around the area, she sighted no one like him, the park was filled with noisy kids, loud from the excitement and their p
"I love you that much, and to me, you are nothing less than a wife and Sam my daughter. You make me want to have a family only with you, or create one." He continued, she was dumbfounded by his little talk, clearing her head to think more straight.She stared straight into his grey eyes, "I would also love to create one with you too."They both smiled simultaneously at her response as they locked their gaze on each other, she could see and feel his love for her, it was so big it encompassed all of her.And her love for him just increased beyond the lengths of the space, it was simply eternal love.She looked over the place Sam was playing still in disbelief Leonardo just proposed the idea of marriage for them and starting a family with him and she agreed, but Sam wasn't in view.Her heart skipped a beat.Where is Sam? Searching around the place frantically, her eyes everywhere. She panicked when no sign of Sam was seen.Standing up abruptly from her seat, she took Leonardo aback, but
Leonardo noticed how stunned Alison looked as she picked up a paper from the bare earth, her face was flushed almost pale. The quivering and trembling of her fingers didn't pass him.Why was she reacting in that manner?The first thing that crossed his mind, was that maybe she was still suffering from the aftershock of Samantha's brief disappearance.He looked over his shoulder, Sam was nestled softly over his shoulder, sleeping, she looked so peaceful.Surely today's events tired her out, burning out all her fuel, she was so playful you would hardly recall she suffered from an Asthmatic attack a few days ago. And when Alison scolded her, he felt the urge to interrupt Alison and tell her she was only a child, but he was sure Alison won't have any of that.Within two days his heart has softened for this little girl, there was a huge space for her in his heart and life. He took her as his daughter, there was no other word he could describe the feeling as.He felt so connected with Aliso
It has been almost a week since Sam's return from the hospital, a week she resigned from her work and a few days since her suspected ex-husband left a traumatizing letter in a park after the attempt to take Sam away from her.One week, she tried not to go insane over Richard's come back especially when she had a terrible nightmare following that incident. she spent her time with Sam ensuring she was safe and well, Leonardo checked in regularly but could not come over due to his busy nature, he was needed back at the west side office and he had no choice than to go back, promising to visit once he is free.She felt sad he could not see her before he left, but understood he had to, he had work and was newly assigned to be the new CEO of his father's company. During the past week alone he sacrificed his time for her, she got to express her love to him, and he to her, she loved him and he knew that was all that matters to her. Despite the turmoil going on in her head about his departure,
Alison wondered where they are as the car they rode in drove around little streets away from the major roads. Leonardo busied himself with some magazine, while she sat unsettled by the change of environment. This was their fourth day in Italy he persuaded her to come out with him without giving a particular destination.She snatched the magazine he read drawing his attention towards her, "Where are we going to? "She peered out the dark window glasses looking at the streets the driver drove through.Every where was rowdy and loud with stalls around.Is this a market? She wondered.Suddenly the car came to a halt, "You will soon find out, "Leonardo said taking hold of her hands, trudging out of the car with her into the open streetsIt was loud here and smelled funky, with different items from flashy to dull displayed in the stalls that stood at the sides of the road.She looked at him expecting some kind of explanation "This is a market, " he explained."Figured, what are we doing in a
Back in the penthouse, Alison could not face Leonardo without turning a full shade of red, she can't believe how wild they were yesterday. They had sex under an open sky and in a glass house, all she could think about was how she shamelessly gave herself to him, no regrets though.But this is how shameless she has become, doing crazy things like having sex in a transparent house what if someone caught them on camera or saw them.Leonardo came out of the bathroom looking wet, his lower body tied in a towel, revealing his hard ridges made by lean muscles, the sight of him alone had her hormones dancing, she look away feeling shy for having such dirty thoughts."Don't look away my sweet Alison, you own all of me now, " he teased, capturing her lips in his.She felt his bulge forming on her stomach, "I am addicted to you, see even he has the same opinion." He gestured to his erection, her eyes widened to that effect and she slid away from him feeling shy, and a bit overwhelmed by their s
Warning: Mature scenesHe brought her to an open artificial lawn in the greenhouse on the floor was a blanket, he took her to it and instructed her to lie on her back with her eyes shut.She found the request weird but she did as she was told, wondering what the surprise was all about.Leonardo moved to the automatic roof button and pressed it, it slid to opposite directions as it opens up to a now darkened sky with stars littered like grains of sand on it.After waiting a few minutes, Alison felt some lying beside her, his hand slid into her as he grasped it tightly, "You can open your eyes now." His deep masculine broke through her piqued mind.She fluttered her eyes open meeting the most beautiful sky she has ever seen, the stars were bright and contrasted perfectly with the dark sky. "It is beautiful," she muttered."Not as beautiful as you though"You never stop flattering me, I feel slightly embarrassed when you do that, " she said feeling her cheeks getting hotter. He always
The grasp on her hand tightened as Leonardo led her to the vineyard pen. She felt apprehensive going there due to yesterday's incident, but Leonardo won't let her be, and he cancelled all his meetings just to be with her today.After yesterday's night incident and his plea for her to come back to the penthouse she agreed, hoping this time the trust surrounding their relationship would grow stronger and Leonardo was eagerly on track with her, ready to open himself up to her, she tried to explain she doesn't want the process of getting all his pain out of his chest to feel forced in any way or fir him to feel like he was being pressured. She wanted him to have the urge to tell her willingly and hopes he would when he feels ready. With a touch on the rusted Pen's door, it clicked open, the musky smell of the animals residing there hitting her on the nose. She followed him behind as he led the way, a familiar bark was directed to her as they walked, it was from the puppy from the other d
Alison dragged her feet to the porch, her skin dripping with rainwater parts of her hair smeared and smothered to her body while some clung to her face. She could hardly feel her skin or breathe properly, her body trembling at the same time and her lips could not stop quivering as she moved forward her steps faltering with every step. She moves an inch closer to the door using her last strength to push the bell and resigned to squat on the porch steps resting her head on the pillar, a sharp pain struck across the sides of her head, her eyes strained and weak under the rain, she fluttered them close hoping the aches all over her body might subside, instead, she felt weaker and slowly succumbed to the darkness billowing around her.Edward heard the doorbell from his study room and wondered if the lousy helpers has responded to it, it was raining heavily and the buzzer might not be audible enough.He stood heading to the front door and twisted it open surprised to see the last person hi
Leonardo could not contain the rage he felt inside, all the hurt he had to nurture in the past came rolling back to him, this time twice the force.He rolled his hand into a fist, and walked towards Alison, trying to keep his pain out of her view, before he could make half of the journey, Edward came closer to Alison and stretched out his hand to her hair removing a leaf from it.Alison smiled at him in gratitude, all he could see were images of that night he wants to erase forever in his head, falling in love with the wrong woman. The woman, who destroyed his capability to reason and delved him into depression.He closed his eyes once more, images of Alison being happy when she noticed that ring on her finger, the moment she raised her toes to kiss him to express how content he made her feel.Alison is not Felicity, he muttered to himself trying so hard to believe it. He trusts Alison with his life, she won't give him the pain that would be twice what he felt during his low times aft
Stirring her eyes wide open, she felt herself cradled in someone's chest, she fluttered her eyes open and is met with Leonardo's face. He looked so adorable when he slept, she drew lines on his face with her fingers and gently dug her hands into his hair raking it a bit.He stirred fluttering his eyes open to reveal his grey orbs staring at her. Feeling slightly embarrassed at being caught, she tried to move away but Leonardo was faster, he drew her back into his arm, she fell on him her finger holding on to his chest.His gaze was intense, and indecipherable using his left hand to hold her in place he gently tucked the hair falling on her face behind her ears. Slowly he said, "Don't you know you can't run from me."She felt a familiar heat rushing from the nook of her neck up to her face. She was blushing, this position was so intimate and he isn't ready to let her go."I wasn't running from you. I felt shy," she admitted truthfully.A slow grin appeared on his face, he leaned forw
All that resonated in Alison's head was the defeated glistening look in Aunt Rosalina eyes, Isabella losing all the cheerfulness she once possessed. As glum replaced the once cheerful feeling they all shared now ruined by the Adriano brothers.Leonardo dragged her still, his anger blinding the fact he was mishandling her. She could see the constraints in his jaw as he gritted them, his teeth clenching representing the degree of his anger. They are now in the open sky, the night fully on with the moon disappearing under the light night clouds.She was exhausted by today's event both emotionally and physically, it drained her off of all the reserved energy she has."Leonardo, you are rough with me, " she called out softly, and immediately he stops an apologetic look on his face, some part of his anger dissipating gradually. "I am sorry," he muttered still faced forward, while she stayed behind, hiding his face from her, hiding his emotions.She could hear the regrets his tone carried.
He was surprised by her scream and was taken aback when she jumped on him, hugging him like he was a lost toy or something like that. Alison could not help the frown forming at her face, or the jealousy burning deep within her bones.She is his cousin, a part of her justified, even so, cousins shouldn't be that close to her Leonardo.Possessive.She twitched her mouth to the side, disliking Isabella, with her hug being unnecessarily long.She finally drew away from him, "I missed you," she muttered, leading him to the dining area, totally ignoring she was present."You saw me in Spain, I spent time with you and went shopping at your request.""That was two months ago," she exclaimed, still maintaining her stance."I wish you would come back to Italy, you are the better brother. You know how Edward is like." she protested, a fake pout etching on her lips, but Alison can't deny her puppy eyes was good, almost as good as Sam's. She noticed the disinterested look on Leonardo's face at the
