Leonardo Santiago's POV.

"What the fuck is this?!" I ask, incredulously.

My sister, Jayla, looks up and glares at me, then rolls her eyes before she continues rubbing Dana's back soothingly.

"Kwabena, sit down" my mom says.

For once, she didn't seem to notice the fact that I just cussed.

I look at my dad and he gestures to the chair opposite Dana with his eyes.

I sit and look at her.

She avoids eye-contact with me and instead, she looks at the cup of tea, she is nursing in her hands.

"Why is she here?" I ask.

Dana looks at me.

"Leo- -" she starts, but I cut her off.

"Are you pregnant?!" I ask, feeling my heart jumping in my chest from pure fear.

"No!" She exclaims.

"God forbid!" My dad says under his breath.

"I came to explain myself and say that I'm sorry yet again." She mumbles.

I snort.

"You had to get everyone involved?" I ask through gritted teeth.

"Everyone already is involved!" She sighs.

"You should have thought of that!" My dad yells standing up and she flinches.

Jayla puts a protective arm in front of her and my mom stands up.

"Matéo. Please calm down, baby" she says to my seething father.

His whole body is tense and he looks ready to attack.

His face had reddened with rage and a vein in his neck is throbbing hard.

My mom approaches him.

"Let Leo decide what to do." She says, making my heart jump at the sound of my own name.

"Let them speak in private and then we can go from there, okay?" She says, smoothing her hands over his chest.

He relaxes, his skin complexion going back to normal.

She kisses him softly.

"Do you trust me?" She asks and he nods.

"Both of you go and talk" she says, turning to face us.

She stands up and so do I.

I leave the room and she follows closely behind.

We go up to my room and I let her in, before closing the door after her.

I sit on my bed and she sits next to me.

Silence.

"Leo, would you say something?" She says, fiddling with her nails.

"Did you love me when you led your brother to me?" I ask.

"No" she responds simply.

"Well did you love me after?" I ask and she nods.

"Then why wouldn't you tell me the truth?" I ask.

"I was going to!" She says, suddenly standing up.

"That night at the club, when you first said 'I love you' I was ready to tell you everything!" She explodes.

She walks up to my desk, shaking slightly.

"At that party last night, I... Did you really mean it?" She asks. Her voice a little whisper.

Her back is still turned and she doesn't notice me stand up.

"Because if you didn't... It's okay, I mean I just wanted to know" she says.

I walk up behind her.

"Leo, why aren't you talki- -" she starts to say but turns around and gasps at how close we are.

"Leo..." She says, trying to back away, but stumbles and realises that I've cornered her against my desk.

"Are you and Nicolás together?" I ask.

I see her pupils dilate and her lips part slightly as she tries to control her breathing.

She likes my tone.

"No" she whispers.

"Good" I say, moving closer.

"And about the party, I meant every word" I respond, before holding her face and kissing her furiously.

She sighs into the kiss and kisses me back.

I pull her body closer to mine and my hands find her waist.

She tangles her fingers into my hair and smiles a little, as I bite her lip.

She suddenly pulls away and turns away from me.

"Why... are you doing this?" She asks.

I move her hair out of the way and start to kiss her neck gently, one hand wrapped around her waist.

"I believe- -I also owe you- -an apology" I mutter in between kisses, feeling her resolve weaken as I start to kiss her shoulder.

I move my hands to her hips, tracing the zip of her jeans with my fingers.

I undo the button of her jeans and she bites her lip, trying to keep in control.

"How will you do that?" She asks.

Her voice is laced with subtle excitement.

I chuckle and undo the zip.

"You tell me" I respond and before she can answer, I slip my hands down her panties and slip my fingers into her roughly.

She bites her lip in attempt to conceal a moan.

"Leo!" She gasps.

"Dana" I respond, moving my fingers slowly in a small circular motion.

She is about to talk, when I move my fingers harder.

"Oh!" She gasps.

"Hm" I say 'nonchalantly'.

"Consider this an apology gift" I murmur into her ear.

I start to move my fingers away, but she quickly puts her hand over mine stopping me.

"Don't you dare!" She says, guiding my hand to continue.

I smirk.

"What, d'you like that?" I ask teasing her.

"Please don't stop" She says, stroking my knuckles tenderly.

I move forward, causing her to do the same and she places a hand on my desk.

I continue with my previous action, now making larger circles.

She whimpers gently.

"Leo..." She says, dreamily.

I press my groin into her butt and she moans.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I ask.

She nods her head yes.

I kiss her jaw, making her shiver then I turn her to face me.

"Leo, please..." She says.

I grab her pick her up.

She instinctively wraps her legs around my waist and I take her to my bed.

I lay her on my bed, my weight over the top of hers and she looks up at me.

I lean down to kiss her, but she puts the palm of her hand over my mouth.

"I don't just want this to be a hookup" she says.

I see a sea of emotions in her eyes and it is at that moment, I realise that I don't ever want her to be in pain.

I don't want anybody to even let the thought of hurting her even cross their minds.

She's mine.

"I promise you, that you are way more than that to me" I tell her.

"But what about before, when- -?" She starts to ask, but the enquire dies on her lips, when I start to kiss her neck, making her lose all train of thought.

"I said, I promise" I growl in her ear.

"Okay" she whispers.

Her hands move to my pants and she unbuckles my belt impatiently.

I pull her jumper over her head and she undoes the buttons on my shirt, pulling it off of me.

I pull off her pants and she returns the favour until we're are both in our underwear.

Her eyes roam my body appreciatively and her fingers trail down the muscles on my arms and stomach.

I also drink in her looks.

She is wearing a lacy dark purple bra, which out lines her features...

Beautifully.

Her dark skin is particularly outstanding against the colour and I love it.

I kiss her chest and move lower and lower.

I kiss her stomach and then the side of her hip, my lips brushing against her underwear slightly.

"Leo..." she sighs.

I say nothing in response, but I continue, now scattering kisses on her pelvic bone, making her giggle.

"It tickles!" She whispers.

I smirk and move myself back up to look at her.

"Now... please" she says.

I see lust burning in her eyes and I know that I can't make her wait anymore.

I pull down her underwear and she takes off mine.

I hold her hands and guide myself into her slowly.

She lets out a small gasp, smacking her hand over her mouth to conceal a moan.

I bite my lip and grip her hands a little harder as I continue.

She wraps her legs around my torso and her breathing speeds up significantly.

I mutter unsayable things into her ear and she giggles, softly telling me that I'm bad.

I continue and her head drops back, her nails scratching along my back, turning me on even more.

I come in her several times during it all, thankful that it is protective sex.

"You're... amazing" I manage to get out as she finishes.

"Hm, thank you" She says sleepily.

I chuckle.

"Get used to this" I say, laying my head on her breasts.

"What, make up sex?" She asked, stroking my hair, running her nails along my scalp.

"No, I mean me making love to you" I say and she looks at me.

"Does this mean that we're..." She says, trailing off.

"Back together? Yes" I say, kissing her collarbone.

"When are we going to tell your family?" She asks.

I notice the trail of fresh hickeys that I've made.

"Oh, they'll find out" I say, before leaning down to kiss her.

"Dana, I love you so much" I tell her meaningfully.

"I love you too Leonardo. So much" she responds.

And this time...

I know that she means it.
