Leon Monzato's Obsession (Monzato Brothers 2)

Chapter Fifteen

Leon 

It’s a Saturday morning at the Martin-Monzato residence. Me and the boys decided to hang out here to ruin their day because Miss Purple Heart’s due is already near. 

Her belly is so big as if she swallowed a whole ass sweet watermelon. My nephew is ready to come out anytime soon and we are all thrilled. 

“Hey, friend.” Sage muttered while chuckling like a little s**t. 

“Leave me alone, Mulligan.” I growl. I’m still jealous to the fact that my Bella see him as a handsome man. 

He is not handsome at all. He’s infuriating stupid ugly little smug son of a b***h. That’s what he is. 

Of course I will never tell him that my girl find him attractive because that will make his pride raise and make his ego big. 

“I didn’t know you have a thing for kiddie meals.” Psyche says as he hold his stomach because of too much laughing. 

I looked at Damon, he’s eating a strawberry cake like he didn’t rat me out. I told him that I got friend zoned by Bella and I asked him not to rat me out. 

But the stupid nosy git that he is, the wanker told everything to our friends to our w******p group chat and I got bombarded by ‘you got friend zoned because you’re ugly’ and ‘you love some McDonald’s kiddie meal.’ type of messages. 

“I hope you choke on that piece of strawberry.” I gave him a deadly glare because he’s pissing me off by just sitting in front of me. 

“That’s not very nice.” He says, still chewing the strawberry. “Dolly will not like that attitude of yours.” 

“Who wants a delivery of McDonald’s kiddie meal? Anyone?” Crow announced and he looked at me, “Except the man right here.” He pointed at me. 

“Of course, he got one at home.” Pol says running for his life as I throw him the apples. 

“f**k you all.” 

I massaged my temples. Being with them gives me a mild aneurysm. They are the simple definition of chaotic energy. 

I huffed a harsh breathe become of negative atmosphere that surrounds me. I’ve been getting abused verbally the moment Damon rat me out. 

I should’ve known that I cannot trust no one in this friendship when it comes to the feelings of the heart especially the fact that Bella just put me in my place and called me only her friend. 

Fuck this life. 

My mood lighten up when I heard Harry Styles’ song Watermelon Sugar High. The song was blasting so loud from the built-in speakers of my brother’s mansion. 

The boys started bouncing their heads, jamming to the upbeat song. 

Damon and Psyche started dancing like a maniacs. Shaking their asses as they sing every single lyrics of the masterpiece. 

Pol and Crow started tapping the coffee table in front of us as if they were drumming. 

Damon was suddenly interrupted from his on top of the lungs singing when the song was put to an end. “Watermelon sugar hi— HEY what the f**k!?” 

Wallace is laughing devilishly as he waved the removed. 

“Such a party pooper.” Crow commented. Damon walked up to him and tugged his arms, wanting him to stand up. 

“Crow! Look at that bastard! He stopped Harry Styles from singing!” Damon whined. 

Crow his head. He mentioned his hand, asking Ace to turn on the song again because Damon’s about to get wild in sulking. 

Sulking Damon is really hard to deal with. One moment he is scary piece of motherfucker and cannot keep a f*****g secret and then in a swift move, he’s like a child, whining to his father— Crow, because he cannot do what he wanted. 

Dealing with him is like with an actual four year old kid. 

“Say please. Beg me.” Wallace said in a stern voice. 

“What? No!” Damon whined once again. He even tapped his foot on the stone floor of the patio. Crow caressed his nose bridge, trying to contain the frustration. 

“Wallace.” He said and even I got the chills in his voice. 

We all know why Damon is acting like this again. We have no problem with his change of attitude, we tried to deal with him by not upsetting him even more. I know how much he is trying to forget his demons. 

“All right. All right.” 

And all of a sudden, Harry’s voice is giving the whole damn mansion a vibe again and Damon shifted his mood from sulking to singing like he wants us to lose our hearings. 

As the boys were jamming out, I sighed to relax myself. Focusing on the music itself, not to my friends’ noise. 

I tried to think of something that would help me get Bella’s whole attention. How I will make her like me back and most importantly how to escape the friend zoned room quickly as possible. 

I hate that he thinks that Sage is handsome than I am. I hate that other guys like Sage can get her attention. I hate that I cannot make her mine this instant. 

I hate everything right now because she only want me to her friends. f**k it because I don’t want it. I want to show her off as grandest as possible but how can I do that if she doesn’t even like me back? 

Fucking stupid life. 

“Damn.” I muttered under my breathe. 

Psyche sat down next to me. He leaned his back on me even more. I didn’t move a muscle and just let him go lay down on my body because it’s just a normal. 

Friends being affectionate with each other, either boys or girls, are simple. It’s normal. 

“Not in the mood, Lee?” He asked after a minute of just leaning against me. 

“Just thinking.” 

“About? Something’s bothering the great Leon.” 

I groaned and hit his stupid head. 

“It’s nothing.” I sighed. 

“You know? You’re just like your brother. You two keep on denying that something is not right when in reality you both knew that I can read you guys like an open book.” He smirked. 

Psyche is right. If there’s anyone that can read me and my brother, that him. Maybe because Psyche has been our guy since like forever. He’s been with us more than anyone. He is like third brother but older than me. 

“Just thinking about Bella.” 

“What about her?” 

“Eh. This is the first time I want to get serious with a woman or be in a relationship for the first time but she doesn’t like me back.” 

I played Psyche’s hair once again letting my brain get drown on the memory of Bella’s words. 

Fucking friends. 

“She’s still nineteen and innocent, Lee. Give her time.” He commented. “Do not make things fast to her. Unlike you, she doesn’t have any experience to any other guys and she’s figuring this all out.” 

“But what if she realises that she doesn’t like me at all? What if she only sees me as his friend?” The bitterness and ache is visible in my voice. 

My stomach went crazy to the thought of her, liking someone that isn’t me. I feel like I’m losing a battle against the unknown opponent. I’m afraid. 

“Recall what is the legacy of your last name. You came from the clan of greedy and powerful. Your clan is not a quitter, I believe.” 

He left me hanging in there, thinking. My clan is indeed greedy and powerful. But how am I suppose to put those two words together to form an idea to make Bella like me? 

This whole thinking thing is making my head hurts. 

Getting someone’s attention is not my forte at all. I’ve never been in a relationship, always fling and wild s*x. Women do their own way to please me and no one, and I say no one turned me down before. 

Except that infuriating beautiful young woman, Bella. That girl have the audacity to turn me down like I’m one of those ugly guys lurking around the park to catch some woman. 

And the shocking part is I’m not even offended that she rejected me. The thing is, she compared to my friend. Me!? f*****g Leon!? I’m f*****g gorgeous as f**k. I’m a total package, a gift sent by God. 

“What’s up with the long face?” Apollo pulled me out of my thoughts. 

“Nothing. Just Bella.” I muttered, clenching my fist because of sudden jealousy. 

I know, Sage will not make a move towards my girl. He knows I can simply plant a bullet on his stupid medical brain. But I cannot help but to think that what if Bella likes her more than me? 

I’m a f*****g business tycoon but I cannot save lives just lime Sage. I can give her everything that she wants and I will treat her like my f*****g queen but what if that’s not enough? And she decided that Sage have more potential to be her first boyfriend than me? 

Something twisted my insides from the thought of my Bella spending and creating memories with my dear old friend Sage. 

Fuck, what is happening to me? 

“If looks could kill, Sage will definitely buried six feet under the pitch already.” Psyche whispered to me. 

I looked at him and released the breath I’ve been keeping for a long time. I didn’t notice that I’ve been giving Sage a deadly stare because I was too deep in my thoughts. 

“I’m f*****g going. I’m done.” I muttered and stood up to turn my heel to leave the idiots here. 

I’m not in the f*****g mood because Sage is really ruining my day without even trying. f**k. 

“Oi, mate! Where are you going?” I heard Apollo shouted but I didn’t tried to look at him. 

Fucking Sage Mulligan and his charms. He’s not even that good looking to me. He looks like a f*****g old horse to me. 

I drove back to my house and turned my way upstairs after I checked my wristwatch. I checked all the rooms and there, I saw Bella. 

Vacuuming the one of the guest suite calmly. I knocked on the door to get her attention but since the vacuum were to loud, she didn’t noticed me. 

I admire her beauty from my spot. f*****g gorgeous. No doubt, she’s the most beautiful woman to cross my path. She got my attention from day one and she’s still getting it without even asking for it. 

My phone beep and I saw Sage messaged me. 

Sage:

Hey. Psyche told me that you were glaring at me before you stormed out to leave. Can we talk? 

I clenched my jaw and deleted his message. Jealousy is all over me that’s I don’t want to deal with him right now. 

I walked towards Bella and hugged her from behind. She flinched from the touch. 

“Relax. It’s only me, baby.” I whispered and kissed her temple before I rested my chin on her shoulder. 

After a minute or so, she relaxed and let me hug her tightly. 

“Is everything okay?” She ask. 

I tried not to scoff and tell her that everything is not okay because I’m f*****g jealous from the fact that he thinks Sage is attractive. 

Everything is not okay because I think I’m about to lose her and I cannot take that. 

Everything is not okay because I’m willing to be with her even though I’m afraid of commitments. 

I’m afraid that she might leave me one day and never come back. 

I’m afraid.
