Dangerous Romance - Season 1 - Episode 54

Leo sighed and brought a paper out of his pocket and placed it in front of my eyes, “this is the price of the apartment” he said and my eyes almost burst out when I saw the price. “th-this is bigger than me I can’t afford this” I said still looking at the paper he placed in my hand.
“and this is your receipt” Leo said and brought another paper out of his pocket placing it in my hands.
“a receipt for the apartment??” I blurted out.

“but I…
“don’t worry the apartment’s under your name I just helped with the money” Leo interrupted me and I gasped softly,
Don’t tell me he payed for my apartment.
“y-you payed??” I asked to be sure.
“yeah” he replied sternly,
“but I can’t afford this, and how can I pay you back?” I said lowly,
What if he deducts it from my salary, then that’s two months pay, I’m doomed.
“you don’t have to pay me back” he said with a serious face.

“why?” I asked, even though it’s cliche to ask why, I just can’t help but know why.
“because I don’t want you to, don’t friends help each other everyday?” he said with an arched eyebrow.

“they do.. But Leo, this is two much, with this kind of amount you payed for four years?” I said calmly cause this is crazy.
“Pen, this is no big deal, I’ve bought houses and cars for some of my friends so this is no big deal” he said and I suddenly remained quiet.. This is not only crazy, but awkward, he’s way too nice and helpful and that just makes me feel.., Ugh.. I don’t even know how it makes me feel but I know somehow I should be described as, lost, confused, pleased, and awkward right now.
“a thank you would be fine.” he said suddenly breaking me and my inner thought’s conversation..

“oh sorry,.. Thank you” I breathed out and he smiled. “that’s more like it”
“Penelope!!” Olivia’s voice called happily behind me and I turned swiftly,
“did you get it, did you get the apartment?” she asked.
“yeah” I smiled.

“we’re gonna be neighbors” she squeaked happily and pulled me into a hug. She let’s go of me and turned to Richard,
“heard that Richie?, she got the apartment” Olivia said happily.

“I have to go” Richard said to Olivia and walled away..

“Richie, come back! You haven’t tried the cookies I made for you” Olivia yelled and trailed behind him.
“is it time to leave or are you waiting for Richard to come back and kiss you or what?” Leo asked and sighed.

“let’s leave, I’ve seen and heard enough today,” I breathed out Leo and I walked out of the building..

We got back into his car and he turned on the ignition and start to drive,
“so.. When are you going to start moving in?” he asked.

“I don’t know, maybe tomorrow or the day after, but Leo thank you.
..so much” I said lowly.
“don’t mention” he smiled,
I received a text from Mason and I talked a while with him about getting the apartment with the help of Leo and what he said left me thinking.

*are you sure he’s not doing all this for another reason* Mason texted.

*what reason?* I texted back.

*never mind* he sent back to me and that’s how our conversation ended.

What reason? I asked myself but shook that outta my head.

After being quiet with Leo in the car for a while we finally got to my house and I couldn’t wait to get inside and throw myself on the bed, cause I’m so exhausted. And maybe a little heavy at the heart for seeing Richard.

I got down from Leo’s car and thanked him several times ..

“okay, I’ll see you at work tomorrow” he smiled.

“okay” I smiled back and waved a little before he drove away.. And making me turn and walk inside.
