Chapter 45 THE KISS

• CLARA'S POV
• Leo kept on avoiding eye contact with me while he suddenly froze after seeing me with my diary. He had been standing by the door which was still open, no doubt that he was obviously thinking of what to say but this was so unlike him. "Why would he be in this situation because I found my diary under his pillow" I thought, dropping the diary back on the bed and continue to mop the floor. Leo was really acting strange today. I entered his room earlier today and he didn't notice , even though I had been walking behind him the whole time. I concentrated on what I was mopping, hoping that he might say something about it. I finally heard the door close, followed by his footsteps which was too loud. My ears were itchy as I waited patiently for Leo to talk but instead he walked past me without mentioning a word. " Wow! I whispered, the almighty Leo has suddenly gone dumbstruck because of my diary, isn't that bewildering. He threw my diary on his desk and began to remove his shirt. I removed my eyes immediately but I was tempted to have a glance. I turned my head slowly and the first thing I saw was Leo broad shoulder, he had a writing at his back and I tried to have a closer look as the words weren't written boldly. "Leo loves mum and Elisa" I read aloud unknowingly then I chuckled, close to laughing, wondering how childish Leo was but always act tough outside. Still chuckling, I continue mopping the floor, shaking my head in disappointment when my eyes suddenly met with Leo's who had been staring at me. At that moment I realized I talked out loud and immediately raised my hand to cover my mouth, but it was too late. My eyes were wide open and my breathe seized. " What is he going to do now? Clara what have you done!?" Lot of questions kept on popping in my mind while I stood at a spot waiting for Leo's verdict.
• Leo glared at me for some minutes while I kept on staring at his feet, wishing I had a magical power that would enable me to hear peoples thoughts. My heart began to race very fast when he started walking towards me with his shirt still in his hand, he had a frown on his face that was like he was about to murder someone. My palm became wet, same with my feet. I felt a sharp itch on my armpit, having the urge to rub it but I couldn't, not when Leo was walking towards me. I left the mop and began to move backwards slowly even though I had the urge to run away, but no matter where I run to he would find me, thereby making things worse. Leo didn't ask me to stop moving backwards, he didn't increase his pace, he didn't shout at me neither did he call his guard to put me into the torture room. Instead he kept on following me until I felt my back hit the door then it dawned on me that, there was no other place to go. All through the time when he was walking towards me and I was moving backwards, Leo didn't take his eyes off my face for a second. He finally got to door and I froze, my eyes had become moist as I had no clue of what Leo was about to do but one thing was sure, he was going to do something terrible. The thought of apologizing and begging him flashed through my head, but after a quick critical thinking, I disuse the idea because it might only annoy him the more.
