Love you to death

They finished their dinner in peace, though Leon hardly touched his food –he just sucked his steak tartare but pushed the raw egg and side dishes to one side. They walked towards the exit, and then again –the staff kept giving them strange looks –and some of them seem to be surreptitiously giggling at them, thought Chanel.

Chanel wonderedwhat’s their problem, but it’s hardly something she is concerned with, so she just rolled her eyes at them and walked on.

Leon suggested they go to his place. She agreed immediately, since she’s been missing Leon a lot. Chanel and Leon had spent a lot of time together before, but they had never consummated their love, just being souls in love.

So like school children, they had just kissed and touched each other. Leon was always a gentleman, and respected Chanel’s wishes. But now Chanel felt a little apprehensive about what might happen in Leon’s place. Did he finally want to consummate their loveshe wondered? She wasn’t sure if she was ready.

Despite being seventeen, she was perhaps the last teen-virgin left in Manila! She was also worried about becoming an old maid. She was the only one amongst her friends without s****l experience.

“Come, come. You want something? Water? Juice? Wine? Cocktail?Bloody Mary?” Leon offered Chanel as they entered his condo

“It’s okay,” Chanel declined as she sat on the couch in the lounge

“Are you sure? You must be thirsty,” Leon continued

“Yes, I’m sure. Let’s watch Netflix and chill?” Chanel said to Leon, while taking hold of the TV remote

“Huh? Watch TV? I think it’s better we go in my bedroom? The AC is much cooler than here,” Leon suggested straight away that made Chanel wonder what his intentions were

Leon is quiet and shy –a gentleman. So Chanel was curious. Leon had never asked her before to go to his bedroom.

They usually just stayed in the living room petting and kissing. “I-I-I mean if you wanna rest? We can go in my room, and watch TV there too,” Leon immediately explained when he saw her reaction.

“Ah okay. That would be nice,and I miss lying beside you too like in the ‘old days’,” Chanel said smiling cutely at Leon….They decided to stay in the room and watch some movies and Leon had made some drinks too.

They drank some bloody Marys while watching the movie Interview with the Vampire. They were both lying on the bed watching the movie.

“My God –there are just too many gorgeous men in this movie –but none of them are as gorgeous as you –there’s Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, Antonio Banderas!”exclaimed Chanel

“But what about the sensual Lolita-like Claudia –she reminds me of you –but your breasts are more luxurious,” said Leon cheekily reaching over to touch Chanel’s breasts

“My Gosh Leon don’t be so rude,” Chanel exclaimed while clutching Leon’s hand to her breast and looking at him with little-girl hungry eyes

Chanel didn’t count all the Bloody Mary’s she had drunk, before her head started spinning.

“I’m drunk. I should get going now or else maybe I gonna rape you,”Chanel laughed. “You can sleep here. It’s okay, you look drunk, and it’s not safe to go out on the street –there’s all kinds of zombies roaming the street at this time of night.And I can’t drive you, because I’m a bit drunk too,” Leon said

“Can I sleep on the couch?” Chanel asked

“It’s okay. It’s such a king-size double bed. Don’t you miss lying beside me? I’m not going to do anything you don’t like I promise,” he said

Chanel started to wonder what he was talking about, but she was too drunk to give it a lot of thought.
