Chapter 57 The Date

• LEO'S POV
• Weekend came too soon and today was the day I would be taking Clara out on a date. At first I was looking forward to the outing, but on a second thought it felt like I shouldn't go because, it might cause more harm than good to Clara. Clara had been in my room ever since the day I hurt her, I didn't let her go while making sure that I nutured her injured wrist affectionately. I could have lost her that day, but thankfully she gave me a reply that calmed my mind and cooled my head. If only I knew what came over me the moment Clara said she loved Jack. For no particular reason, I felt so betrayed even though we weren't officially dating. "Maybe I should stop deceiving myself and date Clara" I thought while laying on my bed beside Clara who was still sleeping peacefully. I didn't take my eyes off Clara for a second not until she woke up and our eyes met, it was too late for me to pretend to be asleep.
• " Have you been staring at me? Oh no! I look ugly, my hair... " Clara asked burying her head on the pillow out of embarrassment but it didn't stop me from admiring her beauty anyways. Clara had to look at me when she noticed I wasn't going to stop looking at her, neither was I going to leave. " All right, I'm leaving if you won't stop looking at me in that manner without saying anything" I noticed she meant every word she said so I got up from the bed and headed to the bathroom while I gave her some time to adjust herself and do whatever she needed to do. While in the bathroom, I began to think of how I was going to ask Clara out on a date and if she was going to agree to go with me, but either ways I have to anyways. But at the same time the fear of Clara leaving me once she finds out I am a Mafia leader was still bothering me.
