Mending Her Heart Alinard Twenty Seven
It 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.

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

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."
