AIMEE
I woke up wrapped up in cosy sheets. A smile formed on my lips when I remembered last night and the date.
After the date, Leo and I got to his penthouse where I still was. I turned around but the bed was empty. Looking around, I didn't see a trace of Leo.
I got up, dressed in on one of Leo's t-shirts and went to the bathroom. After that I headed to the living room. Noises were heard from the kitchen and just as I reached there, I saw Leo.
He was dressed in grey sweatpants that were hanging low on his waist and had a towel thrown over his shoulder.
His eyes were concentrated on the pan in front of him. The muscles on his back were flexing with each of his move. Flashback of last night ran through my mind of how they felt under my touch.
I tip toed behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed his back. "Good morning, boss."
"Good morning, baby." He turned around and flashed me a tender smile.
"What are you cooking?" My hands were still circled around him.
"I'm making you a scrambled eggs and avocado toast." He was the sweetest.
"Thank you. But I'll have to go back home as soon as I eat. I have to check on Lexi. Evelin went to my apartment last night to see her after I texted her." Before we arrived here last night, I quickly asked Evelin if she could see Lexi. She was leaving the birthday party at 12am and went to my apartment since she had a key for any emergencies.
"Okay, I'll take you." He started cutting the avocado.
I stared at him and admired his gorgeous face and realising how lucky I was.
He said he loves me. Leonardo Adonis Hyde loves me.
The avocado toast and the scrambled eggs were placed on a plate.
"Let me kiss you." I stood on my tip toes and grabbed his face. He smirked and tilted his head back. "Stop, you know I can't reach you like that." I tried to jump and kiss him but he wouldn't bend his head.
I crossed my arms in front of me and frowned. "No kisses for you today because of that."
He lifted his eyebrow. "Yeah?" Biting his lip, he took a step towards me.
"Yeah." I mimicked his voice.
"Come here." Scream left my lips and I started running away form him. He picked me up from behind and threw me on the sofa. "Stop!" I shouted through laugher.
My arms were trapped above my head and Leo's mouth immediately found my jaw and neck. One of his hands went to my stomach and he started tickling me.
I trashed beneath him, laughing I tried to get away but his hold was to strong.
"Okay, okay stop." My voice came out breathless. His hand was removed from my stomach and he lifted his head.
"I love you." My heart clenched like a fist at his words.
"I love you."

Lexi jumped from the sofa and ran towards me. Leo dropped me at my apartment and left.
I picked up my phone and realised that it had no battery. Putting in on the charger, I went to my bedroom to change because I was in the dress and had to put on some casual clothes.
The phone was on eleven percent, as I opened and I saw five missed calls from Evelin. Did something happen? I quickly dialed the number and called her back. After few seconds, she picked up.
"Hey Eve. I saw your calls, but my phone was dead. Did something happen?" My voice came out rushed.
"I... there are some pictures online... of you and Leo." Wait what?
"What pictures?" I asked.
"From last night. Someone took your picture. They are all over internet and the tabloids."
"Send me the link."
Oh my God.
"Okay, but please don't freak out. You know they always write bullshit on there." I got the link and opened it.
The thirty six year old Leonardo Hyde, the CEO of one of the biggest companies in the country, was last night spotted with a company.
The lady who he was photographed with, is none other than his secretary. They have been spotted leaving the building holding hands and later on spotted kissing.
Leonardo Hyde took her to his penthouse where they spent their night together.
Is the secretary his new play thing? It could be.
It's not surprising that she would want to whisk him away and try to claim the well known bachelor. A lot of women have tried to do it, but apparently his secretary succeeded.
Dressed in a skimpy black dress, no doubt she was trying to seduce the powerful CEO.
His play thing? What were they talking about. There were pictures attached and it was me and Leo leaving my apartment, where I give him a kiss. Then it was our pictures in the car before we entered the building. And then finally when we arrived at his penthouse.
Tears started to blur my vision and my hands barely held the phone.
Who would do this? A soft cry left my lips.
No, this can't be happening. I have tried my best to stay away from any of this through the years of working for him.
With shaky hands I called Leo. "Hey, Zaria. Are you okay?" He sounded worried.
"Did you see what they wrote?" I spoke my voice trembling.
"Don't cry please, I'll deal with this. Just don't cry." I nodded my head even though he couldn't see me.
"I'll be there, I just have to make couple of calls."
"Okay." I whispered and hung up. I've never dealt with this type of stuff, paparazzi, tabloids,... all of it was too much. I wasn't use to this. It was all of a sudden.
I didn't even thought of someone taking our pictures last night. My best date was ruined. It was supposed to private and they had ruin it.
Leo was a famous person, but I never expected that this would happen. And especially on our date.
A sick feeling formed in my stomach thinking of someone watching us and snapping their camera at our intimate night out.
I felt like throwing up.
The phone started to vibrate and I quickly wiped my tears, seeing it was my mom who was calling.
"Hey mom." I tried to hide the worry.
"Aimee, please come to the hospital." She was crying.
"Mom, what happened?" I stood up from the sofa and immediately took my car keys.
"Your grandpa... he was hospitalised."
