Alinard Twenty Seven
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It has been a week, since Leonardo's departure to Spain, Alison tried not to attribute her loneliness to the hole dug in her heart that deepens with each passing day since he travelled.
It confused her thoughts even more and only causes her thoughts to conflict harder.
Of course, she tried not to attribute this feeling of emptiness to Leonardo, is it possible to fall for someone in a month?
Maybe, but she would not like to believe such can happen in her case.
After she met with Leonardo's confession, she has never been herself. Her thoughts always find a way to reach out to him, and no matter how hard she tries to repel these thoughts they come back double the force.
For the first time this week, she would truthfully attribute her absent-mindedness to Leonardo's absence.
She has to be truthful with herself.
The last time she felt this way was back at home. She shamelessly anticipated seeing him again but that is

Today was hot and humid, that was the main reason Paige and Alison thought a day at the pool would do good. It was Saturday, so they don't have to go to work, Alison parked the sun lotion and some towels and placed them in a little beach bag, she noticed Paige walking into her room and halted on her steps, leaning close to the door. She wore a grey single strapped top and denim shorts, her cheeks extra flushed today due to the heat. Her brown eyes lingered on Alison for a while watching her pack some of the items into the little brown bag. Unlike Alison, Paige was a bit taller and more on the slim side, her body well proportioned. She had light brown eyes and a straight feminine nose. Her lips were full and sensual with an angular face framed with her shoulder-length brown hair. Alison was neither a contrast of her nor similar to her in any way. Finally, she finished gathering the items and gently zipped the bag. "Are you done?" Paige asked standing upright. Alison nodded, "L

"Mr. Leonardo was here that night?" Paige asked. A question Alison could not bring herself to answer. How did she slip in her words in just a second? She knew Paige's determination to find the truth or work something out was unbeatable. Meaning some time later in the future, she would have to succumb to her questions. The future can be a minute from now or next week or two hours later. It doesn't change the fact that it was still the future. "Answer me, Allison," Paige pressed her light brown gaze never meet hers. "Yes...he was there," she admitted, she can't lie to Paige. Paige has a nose for this kind of thing. Paige's face scrunched at that answer, occasionally she would pad the water with her hands to keep her afloat. Gently she reached the high pavement of the pool and sat on it, waiting for Paige's answer, Instead she got, "I am tired of swimming, let's go get a drink," Paige said surprising her. She thought Paige would want to hear every topic concerning her and Leona

Finding out about her feelings for Leonardo was step one, getting accustomed and familiar with it was the real deal. Tossing around in the night excited about her newfound feelings unable to bottle them in. There is only one person who can familiarize his situation with her? Leonardo. There is something about being in love again that feels refreshing. Something that made her want to live twice the way, she used to. Something about love that pushes her to take risks. In her case, this is the greatest risk she has taken, and being eager to find out, where it would lead was something she fully anticipated. Pressing the tip of her nose against the glass window of her room, she shivered slightly at how cool it was, the moon lurked around the clouds, some hovering past, while others dissipated like gas leaving traces of their presence. Raising her gaze to the moon, she wondered if Leonardo longs to see her as she equally does. He was right? She would confess her feelings to him...

"That sounds like jealousy to me," Paige said running her fingers through her hair, untangling the knots that formed at the end. What Paige said annoyed her, Jealousy? Why would she be jealous? Back at the suite after work, she explained to Paige what she saw in the magazine? Somehow her trust reduced in Leonardo and her insecurities seeped back in? What if he doesn't love her as he claims? That other woman she saw with him was a beauty compared to her. Unlike her, she was well built, had no fats, and has a beautiful body shape meant for seduction. Her eyes, her Kohl-coloured eyes created an enigmatic feeling of mystery around her, the way she smiled, Alison was sure she hasn't seen any teeth whiter. It's like they were dipped in bleach or something. While she had layers of belly fat, her legs were a bit thick which made it short, and her heavy spoony shape didn't make it any better. Before she births Samantha, she was comparable to a model, if there was a nerdy model you c

She asked.And he nodded, adding more to her confusion."Why?"He eased himself closer to her, holding her shoulders, with his hands, and inched his face closer to hers."Why not?"

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."

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

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.
