The Surrogate Betwixt

Who is this guy?

Leo's phone rang. He moved back and patted himself, looking for it.

Somehow, his phone ended up under the bed.

He grabbed his phone, looked at the screen and told me he was going to take the call outside.

He looked nervous, so I peeked out the window. It seemed as if he was arguing with someone.

I don't know. The whole thing looks a little sketchy.

I’m instantly flooded with anger. I knew he was too good to be true.

He began to turn around. I duck. Hopefully he didn't see me.

Questions pouring out of my head: Who's on the phone? Why is he upset? Is he married?

Who is this guy?

Let's face it, I don't really know him.

My heart beats faster than it has ever beat before. My mind loses itself in a dense fog. All I can think about is Leo's smile, and the tingling I felt when his body was close to me. I maybe letting my mind run wild. I should relax. So far, he has only been kind to me. For some odd reason, I trust him.

With a cool head, I decided to take a shower. Leo will tell me everything later.

As I walked out of the shower, I heard loud mumbling. Is that Leo. I rushed out of the bathroom and found Leo in my room still on the phone. I wonder if he is still on the same call. Then I heard it. A woman's voice shouting his name as he put his phone down. He looked at me and proceeded to end the call and stare at the floor for a little bit.

Leo lifted his dark deep eyes slowly. His eyes were red as if he was crying or about to cry. Then he whispered, "I'm sorry."

I didn't give it any thoughts. Looking at his sad face, all I wanted to do was hug him. I rushed to him and gave him a hug.

Leo rested his head on my shoulder and hugged me tightly.

I then realized that I had come out of the bathroom with nothing, but a towel wrapped around me. I don't want him to get the wrong idea.

Thankfully, my phone rang. I let go of Leo. I told him that I was coming right back and rushed to the bathroom with my phone. It was Jeannette. I got dressed and I told her all about Leo. She was excited to know that I was finally putting myself out there, but at the same time she was worried about how fast things were moving. I finished getting dressed, ended the call and went back into the room.

Leo was looking around my cabinets like it was his house. He calmly asked. Where are your pans?

What is he doing? From an upsetting mysterious call to going through my kitchen like nothing happened. What is this guy's deal?

I took out my pan and gave it to him. I’m intrigued to see what happens next.

Leo found three eggs in the refrigerator and made us breakfast. He made scrambled eggs. At this point, I'm not questioning anything. I'm with a very handsome man who is cooking for me! I'm good!

After eating, he asked if he could freshen up. I said yes and he went to his car and came back with a gym bag. He took a shower and changed his clothes. His dark wet hair laid forward partially covering his eyes. He moved his hair back, uncovering his eyes.

Wow! He looks so sexy!

Leo asked me if I had to do anything today. I explained to him that I took a week off work. He came close to me grabbed my hands and asked me if he could spend more time with me.

Of course, I agreed!

We spent the whole day together. We talk, watch movies and order dinner.

After two days, that night it finally happened.
