I hesitantly nodded. Leo may have fucked up. But, more than anything I still just wanted to be with him. Being Leos best friend was amazing but when you have a strong romantic liking for someone, being best friends becomes not enough. You'll start to yearn for their touch more and more every time they're near. It's overwhelming.

Leo knew everything. Last December I had an incident per say with an ex of mine. Leo was the only guy I told because I knew that instead of telling me I was lying or that I was overreacting, he'd be there in the ways I needed. Anytime something was wrong leo would wrap his arms around me. No hesitation. Almost instantly after, I'd feel so much better. I felt so safe around him.

"You're serious?" Leo about yelled.
I laughed at his excitement as a smile slowly spread across my face, "yes, I'm serious."
"Okay I know all of this just happened but I'm hugging you." He got up and walked around the table grabbing my hand and pulling me up to my feet.
He wrapped his arms around me and I returned his tight hug.

He pulled back from me after a good minute, "I'm taking you somewhere." He stared down at me.
"Okay but I can't be out too late." I stared up at him, admiring his facial features. God he was perfect.

He grinned and yelled, "Mrs. y/L/n?"
"Yes, dear?" My mother called from the living room.
"Is it alright if y/n stays out with me for a bit tonight?" He called back turning his head from facing the living room now back to me.

"Of course! Just stay safe." My mom yelled back and I shook my head smiling.
Leo picked me up and draped me over his shoulder, catching me by surprise.
"I have legs you know." I sort of yelled.
"And I have arms to carry you with."
I rolled my eyes as if he could see me as he carried me out to his car.

He opened the car door and set me down on the seat, careful not to hurt me. He grabbed the seat belt and put it around me, leaning over me as he pushed it in. He turned his face and we were so close. If he was going to kiss me, he should have already. He smiled as his eyes slowly scanned my face. He pulled back and closed the car door. I watched as he jogged to the other side of the car. He was so attractive. He was an asshole. But he was an attractive asshole.

He got into the car and started it.
"You're not gonna put your seat belt on?" I stared at him.
"No? I'll be fine, I'm a perfect driver." He pulled the car out of park.
"Alright, since you're such a good driver," I unbuckled the seat belt he'd just put around me, "I guess I won't be needing this, will I?" I smiled at him.

He sighed and grabbed the seat belt next to him.
"Exactly." I continued smiling as I buckled back up.

We got to the playground and I looked over at Leo.
"Come on." He chirped as he got out of the car.
I sighed and got out as well. Leo looked down at me from his side. I stared up at him as a slow smile spread across my face.
"Race you too the monkey bars." I said abruptly, my smile not leaving my face.
Without a second thought I ran to the monkey bars and climbed my way up. I looked back to see Leo just walking, "loser." I yelled and laughed as I sat on one of the bars on top.

"Not all of us are like cracked out little monkeys." Leo looked up at me and I laughed. A smile erupted onto his pretty face.

Once at the top, he sat right in front of me. Like we had been a time before. I remembered how much I wanted to just kiss his face. How badly I just wanted to show him how much I loved him.

"Remember the last time we were up here? When I was bullying you about having a crush on me." He smiled as he looked at the ground on either sides of him.
I stared at his eyes the entire time. God, they were the prettiest shade of blue. They were just so comforting. So heart warming. Looking into this boys eyes was like being enveloped into a big ass warm hug. I loved his eyes so much. But mainly because they were a part of him. And I loved all of him.

Leos eyes finally met mine and I felt a pit in my stomach. Those butterflies dammit. They were always making an appearance near him.
"Of course I remember." I finally answered.
He parted his lips a little also staring into my eyes. I felt his hand come up to my right jaw. Oh my god was this it? Is this really happening?

Leo leaned in and I just sort of sat there stiff. His lips met mine and it felt like a million fireworks had been set off inside of my body. I kissed him back of course and with every second the kiss became more passionate. I pulled back after a good minute. My breathe was a little heavy.
"Wow." I smiled and looked down.
Leo lifted my head with his pointer finger under my chin and yet again our eyes were locked.

"I love you, y/n." Leo whispered and a smile spread across my rosey cheeks.
"I love you too." I whispered back.
"I'm so sorry about everything that happened, I can't say that enough." Leos eyes went back and forth between both of mine, "I don't know what I was thinking, honestly. You are and have always been right for me."

I felt my eyes start to water and h blinked at I looked away to stop the tears.
"It's okay Leo, I promise."
"Look at me." Leo demanded and I did as told, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." I nodded as a tear fell from my eyes, "just don't pull any shit like that again. You hear me, mister?" I poked his chest.

He nodded and smiled softly, "I won't."
