Leo is confused on his love affair with the two sisters

CHAPTER FOUR

Leo couldn't sleep in his quiet room as his eyes slowly opened to a celling with white tiles; his body felt heavy with sleep but his mind was still filled with images of Clara's face. He stood up from the bed, and went into the bathroom to wash his face, and when he returned he took off his shoes and clothes, and changed into his pajamas propping backwards on his bed. A bright smile sprawled around his face.

He curled slowly under his blanket, pushing the pillow tightly to his breast and folding his legs together. Leo felt that he was holding Clara tightly to himself and wouldn't let her go. All through the night, he had been dreaming about Clara, caresssing and squeezing the pillow, with a smile to support the rousing feeling.

He had slept late into the night and was hoping to have a quiet morning when he would wake early. He was still mumbling words to himself in his sleep_kissing_with lips running into a void, until he heard Nanny Divine calling his name continuously. He rolled under the blanket that embalmed him and pushed his legs foward and backward till he could feel that someone had been holding his legs and laughing loudly. His desire was to fall back to sleep, but Nanny Divine embraced his legs tightly.

He couldn't stomach the feeling that she had woken him up again. Leo stood up and looked at his wristwatch , shocked and slightly tired as he tossed himself again on the bed, groaning softly. Nanny Divine held his hands and began to move it towards all direction him till he kept shouting, no no no!. She was laughing this time, as he finally let out a word.

'Why didn't you wake me up my usual time?

I felt you were tired, you even struggled to wake now, still snoring'

'Guess it's another kind of weird snoring' he laughed lightly.

'You have been used to this, ever since you were a kid' He rubs his hair gently as she has always done.

'I could have possibly forgotten'.

He laughs lightly and looked into Nanny Divine eyes that appeared blue like his, and he had always admired her for her beauty even though she appeared aged. There were similarly engaged into look and emotions but left this thought in the room of his mind. Leo leapt up from the bed in his pajamas. he had probably forgotten that he had to meet up with some contract in the office.

As soon as he remembered his dream, goosebumps spread round him. He bolted up right and looked into Nanny Divine eyes. Those eyes that fixed angry gazed at him whenever he did something wrong as a child. He would always hide from her, to avoid being spanked. He felt she knew him and his secret more than anyone and had become a mother

Leo had freshened up, and brushed his hair gently; staring closely at the mirror for that quiet moment. He was dressed in English suit and his red tie is done in a long knot, matched with a black canvas. His smell filled the air heavily. He walked out of the house quickly, he was late. and as he desired to move into his car, he saw a young girl who walked slowly to his car, her hair looked so rumpled and her shirt were tattered. She held his legs firmly and he sensed that he needed something from him.

'Whats your name young girl?

'I'm Maria'. She said slightly twitching her eyes in a shy mood.

'Where are your parents?.

'They died long ago and I barely have what to eat'

'Oh poor kid, you will be fine.

Leo's heart was touched and it was one aspect Clara never seemed to realise. He had an heart of gold even in his arrogance. He looked around, but the streets were still silent. It was early in the morning. He quickly echoed.

'Nanny Divine! He shouted loudly

'Yes, Sir Leo'.

She rushed out of the house with a towel still in her hand. She has been doing the cleaning that's why Leo needed a maid; but having Clara as a maid, was to have her as a soul partner not as a servant. He found the maid plan as a means to get through to her heart. Nanny Divine had become like a mum to Leo even since he lost his mother to a terrible cancer. She had come to know Leo better than anyone. And he less relied on anyone for advice than Nanny Divine. She had sacrificed for him on number of occasions and that motherly love had grown for years.

'Can you help me look after her till i come? He ran his fingers through her hair gently.

'Leo, where did you see her from? She said anxiously.

'It doesn't matter, all that matters is that she is safe with me'

Nanny Divine held her hands and they both moved inside the house. Leo watched them for a while till he could no longer see them. He entered into the car and drove off. As he drove, he listened to Justin Bieber's sorry and nodded his head. From time to time, he turned his gaze sideways, watching the trees, the road signs that bad been there probably for years. The passerbys who truly concentrated on where they were always going. He diverted to the other direction of the road and met his secretary on the road who waved at him when he sighted his car from a distance. He whin down the window she gleamed.

'Solita! Good morning! Get in!' He opened the front door as she narrowed her head inside the car. They had been driving since they got off that direction and he turned towards her, in a confused smile that needed an answer.

'You look good'

'Thank you sir!' she said joyfully.

'You know I trust you a lot'

'Yes sir, I know you do'

'If two sisters love a man, and the man prefers one to other, while the one he doesn't love forces himself on him, what should he do?

'Its quite confusing!

Leo narrowed his eyes below the front mirror to tilt the car to the other direction. He then faces Lolita who still looked confused, thinking deeply, trying to please her boss. She wouldn't love to sound slightly offensive, and so she thought for some minutes, while he continued driving'

'Sir Leo, everyone has a desire, I think you should go for your heart desire'

'Its beautiful, but what if it hurts the second party'

'I mean the one who you do not love, but loves you'.

Lolita gave our a cheerful smile, a smile that expressed blankness and Leo too, could read it. He had perceived her as a very beautiful and intelligent lady but felt that this question could weigh heavy on her. She loosened the first button of her shirt as Leo suddenly turned expecting a favourable answer but finds out that she is also lost. He had reserved this question for her, perhaps during lunch, and this was a perfect opportunity because no one could eavesdrop.

'Well sir, I can't say for sure'

'I don't want to hurt both, one is already getting hurt'

'And how do you think you can serve them boss'

'I just have to stick with the one I love'

'Yes'

I have a deadly feeling, it's really hunting me'

'What's it sir?

'The one I don't love may come back at us dangerously'

'I don't think so, she would understand'. As Lolita said those words she looked calmy into his eyes, as if those answers were the lasting solution.

'I don't think so, she's so deadly'.

'You just have to gain her trust, and draw closer to her '

Leo glared strangely into her face, his mind was momentarily lost in her words and he shifted towards her in a hot breath that soon filled the cool air.

'I don't just feel safe with her, especially when she is fully aware that I am into her sister'

'It happens to anybody, but she just can't hurt her sister.

Leo stopped talking and geared his car to the other direction and led himself to extreme speed. He removed his glass, and twitched his eyes because it seemed as if he was not seeing clearly. He looked more handsome in his glasses and lips that ladies admired,so pink and his eye brows that also seemed attractive.

'I don't know why I don't feel safe around her'

'Cant you love two of them, to avoid the conflict between them'

'You play too much'. He playfully tapped her lap and smiled wildly

'Yes sir, that's the only way you can stop the conflict between them. '

They had arrived at the office and he moved his car backward to pack well. He had finally parked and stared closely into Lolita eyes whose seemed a bit serious that Leo.

'I can't do this, I love only one'

'If you say so'

'I don't want to spend the rest of my life with a person I don't love'

'Have you had special relationship with her'. Lolita stared strongly into his eyes. She always did whenever she needed approval. She was his secretary but had a mutual relationship that potrayed something more profound than a boss and worked relation.

'Em em, not too much'

'Not too much, but you have had'

'It was really a mistake, I swear, she forced herself on me'

'You could have rejected, now she had become more found of you'

'Let's go into the office, we are already late'.
