Leanne 17.0

After leaving the private room of the restaurant we walked down the stairs and found the sml talking to a very pretty lady, "Daniel, why can't you tell me?" she said with furrowed brows.

"Emma, you can't stay here. I already reserved the entire restaurant so my staff is very limited. I promised that if you go back, I'll treat you to the best free meal you ever had," said the sml with an awkward expression.

"Daniel, you always let me stay here even when you have important guests. I don't see why today is any different," she said looking kind of mad.

"You know why. Come I'll let one my workers take you home. You must be tired after that long trip," he said while grabbing her by the shoulder and guiding her towards the door. However, before she could leave she suddenly looked at our direction.

"Big brother!" She yelled with a surprised tone and pushed the sml aside to walk towards us. I looked at the ml wondering who she was. He seemed a little surprised but noticing my stare he looked towards me for a few seconds and then grabbed my hand intertwining his fingers with mine.

"Big brother, what are you doing here?" She asked while looking at me with big eyes.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were still in France," said the ml.

"I came back a few hours ago and wanted to surprised you so, I didn't say anything. Who's this?" She asked with a gentle expression.

The ml was about to say something but I interrupted him saying, "I'm Leanne Snow, charmed to meet you," with an even gentler smile and extending my free hand for a handshake.

Apart from pursing her lips a little her expression didn't change much. She still looked gentle and approachable, "I'm Emma Miller and the pleasure's all mine."

"What are you doing here?" Asked the ml with a cold face. However, she didn't seem bother by it and said, "I came to surprise you."

"Did my mom tell you I was gonna be here?" He asked looking undisturbed.

"I asked one of the maids in your home," she said.

"I see. We're about to leave so, you're welcome to stay here if you like," said the ml without even looking at her and walking with me in hand.

Once we were out of the restaurant. "Ex-girlfriend?" I asked.

"Neighbor," he responded.

"So, she's a childhood friend," I said while smiling.

"You could also say that."

"You look a little... vexed," I said to him. Although I suspect he has a bit of... facial paralysis, when we were inside the restaurant his eyes looked a little gentle. Now they're back to being their usual cold self. Except a little colder.

After I said that he looked a little bit surprised and said, "I'm sorry. I'm just thinking about something."

"Thinking about what?" I asked trying to see if he was willing to share with me.

"There's gonna be a lot of drama in my near future,"  he said looking discourage.

"Hahaha. Oh baby, look at it this way. Dumb. Retards. Asking for. More. Attention," I said.

"What?"

"Drama means=Dumb. Retards. Asking for. More. Attention. So, you don't have to worry about it because, you're intelligent and you will outsmart all of the drama that comes your way," I said while putting my arms around his shoulder and giving him a bright smile.

He suddenly smiled and said, "you truly have a way with (poisonous) words." He then lowered his face to meet my lips. His lips were incredibly cold but soft at the same time. Which made a tremble ran up my spine and caused my body to feel weak. Noticing my reaction, he place his hands on my hip and parted my lips with his tongue intensifying the kiss. Although I had experience this sort of thing in the past, this body certainly wasn't used to it. So, a soft moan voluntarily escaped my lips. Resulting in him stroking my back and putting his hands where they weren't supposed to be.

"Stop," I said through gritted teeth.

He stopped kissing me but his hands were still on my waist and his face looked looked like he was ready to eat me whole.

"Quick question, are we gonna have to wait after marriage or do we just go with the flow and allow the two of us to progress naturally?" He asked while biting my bottom lip.

"Get off!" I said as I pushed him off me with red cheeks and walked away from him. He smiled gently and followed behind me.

"Are you being shy?" He asked.

"Are you being annoying?" I asked with clear sarcasm in my voice.

He got closer to me and with a stupid smile he said, "you're very cute when you blush."

"Obviously, don't you have eyes? I'm the cutest, the prettiest, and the most gorgeous girl in the land. Congratulations, you got first prize," I said with a "duh" tone.

"Indeed, I'm very lucky," he said looking at me with an extremely gentle gaze.'

I smiled at him and said, "I hope you don't regret going for the most "eye-catching" thing and then getting tired of it and throwing it to the curve."

When I said that his eyes turned from gentle to serious. "I assure you that I'm not that kind person."

"Just saying," I said.

"People say stuff for a reason. Why do you think I would do something like that?" He asked.

"Simple, men will always be men and you seem to have a fair share of ladies after you," I said looking straight into those clear eyes.

"Well, I'm only going after one of them."

"You already got her," I said.

"Not really, she thinks that I'm the kind of man who loves someone for five minutes and then leaves. I need to chase her and let her know that I'm not going anywhere," he said while walking closer and closer to me until where to face to face.

"Do as you like," I said.

Inside the restaurant:

"Daniel, who was that woman with big brother?" Asked Emma to the second male lead.

The second male lead noticing had a serious expression on his face noticing the indecipherable expression on Emma's face. "I'm not too sure myself but, apparently she's the person he's interested in," said the sml.

"I see," said Emma.

"Did aunty tell he was gonna be here?"

"Yes," she said with her head down.

"You've been going after him for as long as I can remember. However, he hasn't shown the slightest sign of affection towards you. Why don't give up, already?" asked the sml.

"THAT'S NOT TRUE! Big brother has always protected me. There's no way he would like someone other than me," she said looking hurt.

"He treats you like a sister and you've already shown the kind of feelings you have for him, and he clearly rejected you. So, why are you making this more difficult for yourself?" Asked the sml with an angry expression for having to keep telling her this.

Emma now looked more angry and said, "Daniel, you don't understand. I've been next to him my whole live and I know everything about him. It's certainly worth it to go after the person I love."

"Do as you liked," said the sml while leaving the room.
