All Chapters of Me and Mrs. Leopold: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

FROM where he’s sitting, he could see Astrid talking to a man. He has seen him a couple of times at the coffee shop and he’s quite sure that whatever he’s whispering to her was funny because her laughter was heard all over the room. He was taller than him and in just one glance, he’s certain that the man came from a well-off family. He didn’t have to ask his name and what’s his role in Astrid’s life because every time he comes at the coffee shop, he talks to nobody else but Astrid.He’s just a few feet away from them and he knew that Astrid was aware that he’s just there, watching. He could see how sweet her smiles were for the guy and he could hear her infectious laugh.Damn, she’s doing it in purpose, he thought. Just a couple of months ago, they had shared the best Valentine’s dinner together and now, it’s as if she didn’t want to give him the time of day. He

BULLET didn’t give her any chance to react. Without thinking, he kissed her. He was ready to accept her anger because of the audacity he did but it was the other way around as he immediately felt her respond to his kiss.“I missed kissing you like this,” he murmured against her ear. He left out a soft moan when he inhaled her sweet scent.“This is breaking all the rules, Bullet...”“Fuck the rules. I’ve been going crazy thinking about you...about kissing you...” He shoved Astrid against the wall and placed his hands on the wall, imprisoning her. He kissed her again on the lips, just like the hot kisses they used to share. He has been imagining this scene many times over and now that it’s really happening, he felt as if he’s going out of his head. Bullet felt Astrid’s longing. Her every breath was deep, her every moan, pleasing to his ears. He felt her hand gripped his hair, someth

AFTER a quick dinner meeting with a new client, Bullet went straight to his favorite acoustic bar along Session Road. It was eight in the evening and that night was colder than the usual because of the slight drizzle all day. Christmas vacation has just began and he had a hard time finding a spot because the place was packed with natives and tourists alike. Good thing that the bartender knew him enough to help him get a vacant seat not far from the bar.It has been a tough and crazy week for him. He had to go from one place to another for business deals and meetings and he was just so relieved that finally, he could take a break from it all even for just one night. Bullet scanned the place while drinking his favorite beer and while people watching, he couldn’t help but remember the very first time she met Astrid at that very same bar.It has been years since they last saw each other. He wanted to fight for his feelings for her but he knew that it

“SO, girlfriend?”“No girlfriend.” It took him a while to answer. They’re still at the coffee shop, sitting in front of each other, with empty coffee cups on the table.“Since today?” Astrid folded her hands under her chin and stared at him as if studying him carefully.“Since two years ago.”“Why do I feel like you’re not telling the truth?”“Fine,” he smiled. “I dated a few. Just dating, that’s all.”“Why?”“Actually, I’m not sure. Maybe no time?” Bullet shrugged his shoulder. “No interest.”“Wow, ‘the’ Samuel Blake Ortega, no time and no interest for girls? That’s something.”“I’ve matured,” he joked, smiling. How could he tell her that she’s the sole reason why he doesn’t have time and interest in da

BULLET stared at her and for a moment, Astrid felt something that she hasn’t felt for a long time. Her heart beat faster than the usual, which made her gasp for air. And then, he smiled that kind of smile once more. It was more of a smirk, which always melted her heart. And that smirk reminded her of the things they used to do, things that she should have forgotten. She felt her cheeks burn as the memories of their intimate moments came rushing in – the feeling of his persistent lips over hers, the sound of his rugged breathing every time they- Astrid shook her head to get rid of that image inside her head. She looked down and stepped back but Bullet immediately grasp her both hands. From there, his warm hands moved up to her shoulders, going to her cheeks.Just one more step and there will be no space between them.She immediately felt Bullet’s lips touched hers. It was so unexpected that she was not able to do anything
