Chapter 126 - I will take it

"Daddy that one!" Belle exclaimed and dragged Leo along with her, pointing at a pink princess gown that was hung in a transparent glass with the price tag glued to it.

They came to shop for her needs and also asked her to choose the phone she wanted. As expected, it was an iPad that caught her interest and they've gotten it.

Clara followed behind, feeling awkward, as a lot of people had complimented them as a beautiful family. Some were even staring at them right now

Not only is she an unmatched beauty, Leo will make both male and female drool, while Belle will make you crave for a cheek pull, with her adorableness.

They are just too shiny for people not to look at them more than twice. Even Clara couldn't help but secretly gaze at Leo and Belle.

Belle was dressed in a white knee length fitted children's jumpsuit, which she changed into at the first mall they visited, but Leo hasn't spoiled her enough, he brought them to another.

She was putting on a baby pink top underneath the jump suit, as it was the type that's very revealing at the upper part, while her hair was let down, cascading behind her, looking so shiny and silky, all thanks to Mick who spent his precious time combing it before they left the house.

She's just so beautiful and her free spirit will pull you in and you will end up liking her before you know it.

Leo on the other hand, was dressed in a blue crazy jeans as people will put it, since the trousers were ripped at the knee area, revealing his skin and his upper body was hugged by a white and blue matrix long sleeve shirt, while his feets were blessed with the embrace of a white Adidas sneakers.

He's looking so handsome, which is earning him stares from ladies, coupled with his smiling face that was directed to Belle of course, also made him more alluring as he looked like a happy father.

It was Clara who noticed their stare the most, which made her join in. She only stared at him to see what's so special that those ladies are drooling, but here she is, occasionally stealing glances at him and Belle.

Clara opened her mouth as she saw the price tag in the cloth, but since Belle knew nothing about money and its spending, she jumped up and down and pointed excitedly at it, "daddy I want it! I want it!"

"We will be taking it." Leo said to their attendant and Clara saw the glow in her eyes. Yeah! they just sold that dress for such an amount. Why wouldn't she be happy?

"Look around and choose what else you want and daddy will buy it for you." Leo said and Clara stared at him stunned, but couldn't help but smile at his beaming expression as he looked down at Belle.

She found her heart felt light and a smile marred her face, with her gaze softened.

Leo's head suddenly snapped towards her direction and their gaze locked. 

He smiled as he saw her suddenly relax her smile and pretend like she hadn't been checking him out, which he noticed all these while, because his attention was split between the two queens of his heart all through.

He could feel her gaze on him and just caught the tenderness in her eyes. "Would you like anything?" he asked her and Clara could only shook her head.

"Mommy buy something." Belle urged.

Clara leaned closer to her, "I have daddy's card with me for a long time and has gotten a lot of things for myself. We wouldn't want to exhaust daddy's money, would we?" Clara asked.

"Exhaust? what's that?" Belle asked, looking confused.

Leo was stunned, because Clara referred to him as Belle's daddy, and so intimately like they were real couples.

"Don't mind mommy. If my baby wants everything in this mall, daddy will buy it." Leo patted his chest to assure her.

"Really???" Belle's eyes widened in excitement but Clara quickly spoke up.

"Don't mind him. Let's just get you the things that you need." she said, knowing that Leo might really buy everything if Belle says so.

They left the children section after, but Belle insisted that Leo buy something for himself too, which made them headed towards the male section.

That something resulted in Belle pointing at different shirts, which Leo bought, just because she's the one that chose it.

Clara saw a midnight blue shirt on a mannequin and couldn't help but pictured Leo in it. It hugged the mannequin body and even leaves traces of his abs through the shirt.

Her mind drifted to when she stripped Leo and felt that it would hug his abs and look good on him.

She told herself that she's thinking like this because she felt grateful that Leo took Belle as his own, despite the fact that there is no relationship between them.

But she still didn't know how to point it out and not make it seem weird. She wondered when she started caring about what Leonard will think after she says something.

She prayed that Belle should notice it as well and help her out, but they walked past it.

Clara glanced back at the shirt and told herself not to pay any attention to it. He won't die if he didn't wear it.

"Leo?" Clara called in between gritted teeth. She can't believe that she's really doing this.

Leo and Belle stopped in their tracks, along with the female attendance. 

"I think that shirt looks good." she said, with her heart beating against her chest. How embarrassing. Why can't she just turn a blind eye to it.

To make it more awkward, "oh my god! Your wife has a very good taste. That shirt will suit you just well." the attendance said and Clara quickly excuses herself, claiming that she needs to visit the restroom.

Leo stared at her departing figure and smiled. "I will take it." he said.
