LEERA POV

Yesterday my family left and this home doesn't feel like a home anymore. And Here Me and my solitary is left alone.

Christmas spent well than I expected only because of them. I smiled tracing the enchanting, diamond pendent which is carved into a small snowflake hanging around my neck. I adore this a lot because dad gave me this as a christmas gift. Too precious to my heart.

My phone rang up beside me and I smiled again seeing who's calling me. I picked it up.

"Hey bud! Missing me" I spoke holding the phone to ear. "Very very very much" he spoke in his tiny excited yet so cute voice. "Me too dear"

"I'm here!" He shouted merrily on the phone. "Where?" "Here" he sounded to happy even though he always does when he speaks to me. I asked again. "Here, where?"

"Califora" I giggled hearing him mispronounce. "California?" "Yes yes" He agreed. "You are here in California? When did you come?" I asked.

"Today-" he responded already too eager to say something else when I asked him again. "Who did you come here with?" "Mammaa" He didn't let me speak "leera come to bestfriend's house, I bought new video games"

"Now?" I looked at my watch. It's 9 at night. "We'll meet tomorrow okay? It's late now dear. Tomorrow it will be Leera and Aaron day. As it's sunday I'll be all free" He frowned over the phone. "Then I want to come to your house now. Where do you live?"

"Aaron, not now. If your mom gets to know then we both won't be able to play again. Go to bed early, then tomorrow you can come over and we both can play together" He made a displeased sound but listened to me at last. "Okay" he sounded sad for a second and I felt bad to refuse him.

"Aaron you don't need to be sad dear. We'll play tomorrow and we can spend a lot of time together" I tried to cheer him up again. "But if mom doesn't allow me to visit you?" "It won't be a problem cause I'm in the same building. I can come over any time and bring you here" I assured him.

"Really!? You stay here?" His tiny voice surprised now. "Yes sir. So you can come over any time and I'll convince your mother" His mood instantly changed into a happy one once again.

"Aaron, who are you talking to?" I heard someone spoke, on the other end of the call which was unmistakably Elena. I recognised her voice. "Mamma Leera. She said stays here in this building" Aaron said gaily to his mother which made me crack my head with my hand and laugh.

"Leera how are you?" I heard Elena talking to me on the call now. "Greatt. Aaron just said y'all came to visit California today" "Yeah. I'm still exhausted. You live here?" She asked again and before I can response Aaron started "mamma she stays here in the same building. Let's go visit her" Elena laughed and made him understand that it's late and I won't like guests at this hour although I won't mind.

"Leera. Come over for breakfast tomorrow. We'll be waiting" Elena invited me and my smile almost faded. Breakfast at his place now? "We'll play video games first. Breakfast later" Aaron muttered joyously as if having me and playing with me is the most blissful thing for him.

I don't particularly like kids but I don't dislike them either. They are cute but naughty just like Aaron. But Aaron already got a special space in my heart just like I got in his. So just as he likes being with me, I like it too because of our emotional bond.

As much as i wanted to see Aaron, I didn't want to face Azezal. Just after what he did the day before yesterday.

You are mine.

Those words on my vanity mirror reflected in my mind again. My eyes instantly went to my vanity mirror finding it clean just as it was. I erased the words written onto it by my red lipstick just after he left from here. I couldn't stand it.

"Leera--? Are you hearing me?" Elena's voice caught me out of my imagination. "Yeah?" "Tomorrow morning breakfast at 10. Not so early as it's sunday. Goodnight darling, See you tomorrow!" Elena sounded tired yet she talked amiably to me.

"Alright. Goodnight" I couldn't refuse her even if I wanted. How can anyone can when someone speaks this sweetly? As much as I despised Azezal now, I adored his sister and her son.

Aaron got the phone back from his mother. "lets play online games now" he suggested thinking I would agree but I myself am too tired and sleep is peaking through my eyelids. "Aaron. Sorry I'm too exhausted. We'll play everything tomorrow. I promise"

"Bestfriend is busy too. Who will I play with now" His voice saddened again. "Get some sleep now baby. You might me tired too" "Okay. I'll sleep" I smiled. "Good boy. Get a tight Sleep now. Goodnight" "Goodnight" he wished me back and I ended the call.

Laying on bed, I welcomed sleep to encage me in no time cause I was already too exhausted after another tiring day.

.................

Standing at the front door, I rang the doorbell and a few seconds later the door opened and I was welcomed with a warm crashing hug of Aaron.

"Leera! Yaay!" He jumped with excitement seeing me and I smiled at his innocent gestures. "You look so cute Aaron" I said finding his yellow colour jumpsuit so adorable on him. "Thankyou" he murmured caressing his dress with a blush on his face making me laugh.

"Goodmorning" I murmured to Elena who was watching us, now approaching us with a smile. She smiled to me "Good morning. We were waiting for you. Come on"

I followed them while Aaron held my hand and lead the way. I sat down on the dinning table and Aaron sat beside me. A lot of dishes were already served.

"Leera, I'll be back after i finish making the fruit salad" Elena said to me and left. Now it was just me and Aaron here. He kept blabbering about different stuffs.. how his school is going... what he did for Christmas... what games he would like me to play with him after breakfast. I listened to him showing him my interest when needed.

"Pass me the juice" I looked at my side and saw Azezal's fiancee, Carla standing. She is here too? I thought only Elena and Aaron came but unfortunately this bitch is also here. Then I noticed, she was just wearing a white tshirt, an oversized tshirt which didn't seem to be hers.

"Sorry?" "I said to pass the juice" she made a face of irritation, commanding me. Absolutely a bitch. I passed the juice to her and she poured herself a glass. She was just standing still not sitting and wasn't dressed like I always saw her.

"Ah such a long and rough night" she acted as if she saying to herself but loudly enough for me to hear just like she wants me to hear.

"Leera, right?" I thought she is just mannerless to not even greet their guest and talk to them. "Yeah" I said with a forced smile not wanting to talk to this bitch. "Don't you have a boyfriend?" She asked out of the blue. Now why is this bitch interested in my love life.

"Too busy for that I guess" I replied almost wanting to dismiss her now. She nodded sitting on the chair, while sipping her drink. "Ahh.. " she moaned out a breath while she attempted to sit. "Azezal is too rough and good in bed actually" a blush with a creepy smirk pestered on her face while she said that, which only cringed my insides.

After she finished the last sip, she got up and left without a word. And here I was left with an unwanted information which unwittingly distressed me. She said all these as if she willingly wanted to make me hear them for some reason.

That oversized tshirt she's wearing is his. And what she told me about last night, I don't even want to imagine that.

I bite onto my lip while Aaron tired to get my attention back to his words but now all I can think of is about what I heard from her.

..................

Basically it was only me, Aaron and Elena at breakfast. Elena said Azezal left early for work and Carla was gladly not so interested in having breakfast with us.

I could comfortably eat and we three spent a nice time together. After breakfast Aaron dragged me to play games with him which were actually fun. He said Azezal thought him playing and played with him which made me think he really gave this kid enough time. I knew Azezal loved Aaron even though I had doubt before this man could genuinely love something.

After two hours of playing games with Aaron and listening to his whole time blabbering I decided to go home but he still didn't want me to go.

"You can come over to my house anytime you want" I caressed his soft fluffy hair, his frown still visible in his face. He said a small "Okay", finally agreeing.

I bade him goodbye and promised to bring his favourite chocolates for him tomorrow and he was happy again.

"Leera, how about girls out tonight?" Elena said to me. She continued excitedly "it's been long I have been to bars, how about we go out tonight? If you have time ofcourse"

"Might be fun.. I don't even have much friends here so it's been a while for me too" "Donee!" She sounded joyous. "See you at 8!"

"Dress sexy" Elena blinked at me.

"Alright" I laughed.

...............

I got ready in a black dress spaghetti strapped dress which reached my knees. Not too short but I looked ravishing enough. I applied red lipstick which completed my simple elegant face makeup. My hair looked beautiful in soft curles.

I wore my black heels and small white earrings and Putting my favourite perfume I finished.

Staring at myself on the mirror I smiled. I looked kind of enchanting and it's been a while since I dressed like this. I don't know why but tonight I wanted to dress like this. Dress nicely. I dressed for myself, for my own internal satisfaction.

Weather is still cold but not as before, so it won't be a problem.

I dialed Elena's number after I was done getting ready. She responded and said they were done too.

"Who else is coming with you?" I thought it was just me and her.

"Carla" hearing her say that bitch's name already ruined my mood. "I'll getting down then, waiting for you guys" "Okay darling! We're heading down in one minute" saying that she hanged up.

I let out a sigh and coming out of my house I closed my front door and got into the elevator.

I checked my phone and there was a text from Levi.

Levi - "How is my panda doing?"

I clicked a picture of me and sent him.

Me - going out for a party ;)

Levi - Having fun then.

Me - yeah. Not even missing you <3

Levi - :(

"Leera" I heard Elena calling me.

Me - gotta go.. talk to you later.

I shoved my phone inside my black sparky purse not waiting for the reply.

"Dang girl! You look wholesome" I laughed. "Thanks! Red suits you" i said to Elena who wore a red beautiful dress. "Thanks darling" she blushed. Elena is literally too cute and her son is cuter. Even after having a child she looked so young and beautiful. She is elder than Azezal but she looks just in my age.

"Aren't we getting late?" Carla walked in rolling her eyes, in her blue curve hugging dress. Her face caked with heavy makeup. Her pushup bra did a great job showing off her tits. Overall She is attractive as always.

"Lets go" Elena said and we got inside a black luxurious car.

"Is this your car?" I asked Elena. "No Azezal's. He wanted to drop us there himself but I refused him. So he sent the car and driver" I was thankful to god now that he didn't come.

"We can't stay much late as Azezal won't allow it" I rolled my eyes hearing his name again and again.

We were at the bar now.

"No need to tell your sir where we are" Elena restricted the Driver from saying anything. "Ma'am I can't lie sir" "No need to lie just keep your small mouth shut" Carla replied in a rude tone and headed inside herself without waiting for us.

"Actually I told Azezal we are going to a restuarent for eating out and girl talk not to a bar for drinking" Elena said to me. "He wouldn't allow us to roam in clubs if he knew"

This side of Elena was different than before but I like it. "Let's go inside"

"Leera, I'm saying men are already drooling over you" Elena gave me a playful wink but I'm feeling uncomfortable under so many stares.

I sipped my margarita and suddenly I wasn't feeling much good to be here.

"Let's dance" Elena bragged me in the dance floor with her and Carla is here too now.

"I got to meet some of my friends" Carla said to Elena. She acted as if I'm never here or I'm totally invisible. "No problem. We are doing fine. You can join your friends" Elena said to her and then she left.

Me and Elena danced together, laughed and drank. I finished two glasses of margarita and fighting myself not to get another one.

It was so much fun with her alone. I felt good after a while, lively and young.

My phone rang, it was Dr. Diana. The music is loud so I can't talk here. Thinking it to be an important call I excused myself and went to the corridor side which was aside at a corner of a club.

Before I could receive the call, it ended so I was about to call back but stopped when I heard someone talk and it was his voice.

"What the fuck Carla? Where is Elena?" He sounded angry and I watched them standing there. Azezal wore a black shirt with grey suit, his hair a little mess as if he just came here from work, his face said he was tired but looking that devilish handsome like he always does.

"Baby calm down" Carla's hand trailed down his chest seductively. He dragged off her hand from him, looking irritated at her acts and was about to leave when Carla grabbed his hand again.

"Where are you going?" She stepped infront of him and pulling him close to her by his neck she pressed her lips on him. I kept staring.

Then his eyes caught me standing and watching them. For a second it looked like he was about to push her away for some reason but when he comprehended I'm standing here his hand caressed her thigh and pulled her even closer.

They sucked eachother of but the whole time his stares were on me.

I cringed and cringed so hard remembering the words he said to me once a time...

***FLASHBACK***

"How many girls did you fuck in your life" I asked him as it was my turn to question. A part of me was curious but again another part of me was jealous.

"You really want to know that?" He arched an eyebrow and I was already sad. He laughed.

"I told you this game is a stupid idea" he pulled me in his chest. "I want to know how many women were in your life before" I uttered lowly playing with his shirt button.

"Amore" he kisses my lips and softly bit onto it, I could feel him smiling against my lips but my mood isn't here anymore.

He stopped and look at me, then his fingers were on my wet lips. I stared at his grey ever mesmerising eyes and he stroked and caressed my lips gently and ever so softly with his fingers.

"These are the only lips I kissed in my life and it will stay like this till death. You are my first and last kiss to exist."

I was surprised hearing him.

"What the hell? You never kissed someone before me?"

"No" he replied. His every word sought my trust and I always trust his every word eventually.

"Why?" I wanted to know the reason. It was quite strange to not have your first kiss at this stage. I myself had my first kiss when I was 15. I knew it was late but still a surprising fact I'm still a virgin.

I loved how he never tried to make me uncomfortable asking me for sex. I loved how he respected and gave me time. I told him I want time and even after months of our relation he didn't ask me for sex, I could see how desperate he was for me, how much he wanted me just in his eyes but he still compromised ignoring his every desire, without asking me any question.

I still didn't tell him the reason why I'm so afraid of this but I'll one day.

His fingers still kept caressing my lips. I bit onto his one finger playfully.

"Because kisses are special. Meant to be for the right person. For me that person is only you" is reply widened my smile and added to my happiness. Forgetting everything I crashed my lips onto him.

***END OF FLASHBACK***

And ofcourse those words weren't true.

He kissed her as if wanting to swallow her whole, the whole time his eyes on me, staring back at my eyes. Her hands roaming and explored his body as if wanting to tear that shirt of him right here. His hand held onto her thigh and the other was on her waist.

I didn't even know when did my eyes turn wet. My hands clenched my purse and phone. I knew I couldn't stay here anymore. I stepped back watching their movements, watching them kissing like hungry animals, watching him kiss her with his eyes locked onto me. It was like he wanted to me see all these. I'm feeling sick, so sick the only thing I want to do is flew from here, get away from his stare.

I turned away and ran back with fresh tears in my eyes. I straightly went to the bar counter and ordered drinks after drinks. I didn't realise how many glasses I had of alcohol but I never had that much. I'm feeling like puking but I don't want to stop.

Someone jerked the glass of me. "Leera? What happened?" Its Elena. My eyes teary and my head dizzy, I don't want to talk now.

"Give me that drink" I murmured but Elena shoved that even far away from me. She sounded concerned now, "What happened? Did something happen in the call? Who called you?"

It's your brother. Your fucking brother who keeps hurting me! Who still makes my heart ache even after years!

"I'm just not feeling well. I'm going" I got up and rushed away. I don't want to cry infront of her. She called my name from behind but I didn't stop. And Finally I was out.

Drunk and dazed but still fine enough to go back home probably. I got into a cab.

"What happened dear?" The driver asked when he looked at me through the rear view mirror. He was old, prolly my father's age.

"Do I look sad?" I asked timidly in my broke voice. "You look heart broken" He uttered with a hint of sympathy in his tone. "I'm not! I'm.... I'm good" I wiped off my tears with rage and anger now. I forced an smile and looked out of the window. "I'm not sad" I murmured to myself, assuring myself.

Why would I be heartbroken? Who is he to me? No one. He means nothing to me. I hate him. I hate him. I closed my eyes for a second and the imagine kept on flashing infront of my eyes.

He's his fiancee, so what's wrong with that actually? But what was all those drama he did infront of my parents? Asking my parents for my hand. What the fuck was all these?

"I hate him!" I reminded myself.

Ofcourse I don't want to marry an asshole like him but still I can't comprehend his words and actions. What an absurd man!

"I have a daughter of your age" I listened to the driver. "She was so in love to a man who dumped her" I felt sorry for the unknown girl but didn't say anything.

"But now she is more than happy that she got rid of that man" the man said to me as if consoling me. "No man dumped me. I'm alright. Please drive fast" he was like to me but I wasn't in a state to appreciate that. I have drank way too much actually which I'm regretting now already.

Why am I over reacting? God. Impact of alcohol probably.

I payed the driver, and gave him a smile thanking him shorty. I pressed the elevator button and my eyes started seeing dizzy. Fuck, I shouldn't have drunk so much.

I'm a light drinker which I clearly knew and that's why I avoided hard alcohol and now the alcohol seems me drown me whole.

I stumbled out of the elevator and finally made my way to my apartment door.

AZEZAL POV

I have been standing here for last two minutes watching Leera almost sleeping against the door and struggling with the door lock faintly.

Her face frowned with her every small and wrong attempt as if putting the password for opening the door but it turns out wrong as if she can't remember it.

"2156" I casually said watching her. It's probably been ten minutes she reached here already but still couldn't get into her house.

When she heard my voice she turned around still on the floor and tried to blink so that she could see clearly. She shook her head and tried to comprehend who was speaking again. I held my laughter and went near her.

Putting the password on the door, the door opened. "What are you doing here?" Her voice drunk as she peered at me with her half closed and dizzy eyes, watching me sitting from down.

I came here to check on her, if she reached home or not cause Elena sent me to check on her and here she was stumbling infront of her apartment, who doesn't seem to remember her door password.

But fuck this posture. How she looked at me with puppy eyes sitting on the floor, infront of my damn legs. Just one step and her face will be between my legs. That one thought throbbed my fucking cock. But I shoved all my thoughts away. Why think about something which I can't do or won't do?

"How do you know my doorlock?" Her voice timid and small, barely audible. I squatted down to her level just infront of her. "You put the same password everywhere since ages" her mouth formed an ohh shape.

"So that's how you-" she pointed at my chest, her half opened and half closed her blinked several times as if trying to see me properly. "That's how you broke into my house before. I need to change it hm" she nodded to herself still pointing at my chest.

Without saying anything, putting my hands around her thigh and back I got her up on my arms. "Hey!" She struggled at first. "Don't touch me!"

She shook her head in negative and lightly stroked my chest, wanting me to put her down. "Shush. No words" then surprisingly she stopped and just looked at me arching her eyebrow and making a frown face.

"I hate you" she muttered lowly in her drunken tone. "I know you do" it's ovious she does after whatever I have done to make her hate me.

At first I got her inside and closed the door behind me with my feet and then was heading to her room when it halted in my way when she tucked at my shirt with one hand and with another held onto my neck pulling my face close to her and then her lips were on mine.

Her lips slowly moved, licking and sucking mine but I only looked at her eyes finding them closed as she explored my mouth pulling me closer. An in no time I found myself returning that kiss. Her tongue tangled with mine, as we kept sucking eachother's breaths away.

It was were like ten seconds when I broke apart from the kiss comprehending this isn't right. She is drunk. What the hell am I doing?

She breathed deep breaths as she moaned out a deep breath and sigh looking disturbed. I got her inside the her room not looking at her anymore, cause I know too well I'll end up doing something that I'll regret later.

I put her on her bed and tried to leave but she held onto my shirt sleeve. I stared at where her hand held onto my sleeve and then her face.

Her drunken eyes expressed something as if a lot is hidden in them.

And then her next words almost made the shook rob me of speech "Fuck me"
