Becoming a Nun

CHAPTER3

"Sure I will be. And thanks for the save". I said to him, feeling a bit flustered. His way of handling me, very careful and delicate. He asked what my name was and all I could do was give him a simple and walked out;

After about 3 minutes of applying fertilizer on the grape plants, he resurfaced;

"I really do like a good challenge you know?" He said to me.

"I am in no way challenging you. I just do not see why I should give you my name". I said to him smiling with my eyes focused on the plant I was applying the organic manure to.

"I mean we are friends, so that will make a whole lot of sense to get your name". Persistent much.

"We do not have to be friends you know?" I said finally looking at him for the first time today. He had emerald green eyes, which kept me staring for too long. His velvet black hair stood out, and his lips so thin you could barely notice them.

I get now why Isabella and Lilia were all chewy earlier .

"Well I kinda saved you from getting your beautiful face injured, and as a repayment, I want you to gimme your name".

Seriously this guy

"Fine,my name is Abigail Diego". I said giving him a bit of a smile.

"See that wasn't so difficult now was it? I simply rolled my eyes at him. There it was, he looked at me like I was some eye candy. His stare lingered for a little longer than necessary. It seems not only Florence gets into beast mode when I roll my eyes

"What's the issue, for something on my face?" I asked, hoping to let him know that he was ogling.

"No not that , I mean you have really beautiful black eyes, they sparkle." Yes I have been told so too. Reason why Florence looks at me whenever we f**k.

"Thank you". I said moving away from the plant I just took care of.

"You know back at the city, you would be a high earning model". I looked at him not knowing what he meant by that. I mean models are usually slim, or his is saying I should trim down.

"Well sorry, I am fat, so I can't be a model". I said to him, now completely focused on the organic fertilizer I had scoped into the holes between the plant and the soil.

"No, that's not what I meant to say. I mean we have plus sizeed models in the city too." He said to me.

Really, you have plus size models too in the city?" For some reason my eyes glistened. I was happy.

"Yes we do, and you would be perfect for such a thing, I mean if that's your kinda thing". He said as if trying to be gentle in order not to offend me.

"I mean yes I would". Then I recalled, I would be a Nun soon, so no need.

As if sensing my inner worries he asked;

"What's wrong?" I looked at him, wondering if he would understand my predicament if I said something. Choosing not to I simply said.

"Don't worry, I do not think I will fit in. By the way". I said trying to move the topic from me to something else.

"I do not know your name?" I said to him, still in my squatting position.

"Leo, my name is Leo Harriel". For some reason that name sounds familiar.

"My father owns the ranch". Now I recalled Isabella saying something like that earlier.

"Well Leo, it is nice knowing you, I really should get back to work, wouldn't want my father pouncing on me now".

"Oh right, I can just keep you company if you do not mind?" I am sure all field workers had noticed by now that Leo had been around me for more than 40 minutes, while I kept thinking we would run out of things to talk about, he kept bringing up topics that had us and me surprisingly interested in the conversation. Even things I and Florence never talked about, we discussed, I felt Leo was a friend from my previous life with how much I laughed my heart out. I and Florence were more into s*x than talking, she always made the decision for us. So I never really had any input.

I scanned around for my father every now and then, hoping for once, his eagle eyes would let me be.

"Looking for something or someone?" He asked after noticing her quickly I kept looking over my shoulders.

"A boyfriend?" I could trace the hint of disappointment in his voice.

"Nope, boys are the least of my worries". I said which got him a bit taken back.

"Then are you into girls?" I felt this sudden seizure, like though I was cut in the middle of something. I wanted to tell him, I mean he seem understand and very educated. He should know. Just then I recalled Florence, her tales, how no one would understand us and they would judge us. I immediately kept my mouth locked.

"Sorry if I said anything to offend you, but a girl like yourself should have boys fighting just to get a good morning from you ".

By the time we were done, it was almost launch time, I had quickly made it to the stable with Leo hot on my tail.

"You usually walk this fast?" He asked. Seriously how does a big town boy not know how to hustle 'em legs?

"Well welcome. To the small town life now". I said fetching water into the bowls for the horses to drink from.

"So tell me, what do you not talk to boys?"

"Have you seen my father?" I asked him clearly sure that he hasn't seen the big bad Wolf of a father I had. He would bury me before any thoughts on boyfriend surfaces.

"You mean Mr Diego? Yeah, guy looks pretty tough and rough. But you would get married someday right?

'Boys means trouble' I whispered in my head. But before I could make it t

o the door, I saw Florence, with flowers and chocolate, she looked angry!
