Chapter 152 - That's for making me so crazy about you

Pulling back, Clara moved closer and wrapped her arms around Leo's neck and hugged him tightly.

Her head resting on his shoulder and the thumping of his heart was evident at the closeness. 

Leo was still finding it hard to believe what was happening. The girl that would never let him hold her hand, actually kissed him, and was presently hugging him right now.

He thought, this is going to be the worst month in his life, but things turn around so quickly.

Ella's condition has stabilized. The little princess called to complain about Mick embarrassing her every day, and now the woman he loves is actually giving him her own surprise. 

"I'm sorry, Leo." Clara said. 

Leo was about to pull back and ask her what she's sorry about, but she held him tightly to prevent him from parting. His warmth sinking in through the contact and his manly scent intoxicating her. 

"I'm sorry for worrying you. I want you to know that, while I was lying unconscious, I could feel your warmth, your heartbeat, your fear. I could hear your every word and everything.

I so much wanted to wake up and put a stop to it, but the demon energy is too strong and it's burning me from inside." Clara said and paused.

Leo's hand also wrapped around her encouragingly, because it's obvious that she has more to say. 

"I also want you to know that I saw all your text messages and I have forgiven you for a while now. I'm not knowledgeable about this man-woman love and relationship stuff, but I wanted you to know that I'm glad you fell in love with me.

I think I'm lucky to have your heart Leo. I might not be able to return it, cause I don't want to, for now.

I want to let you know that I don't hate you, and I'm glad you accept Belle as your daughter. You are a very good man and I'm sorry for being so harsh on you." Clara finished her confession and bit down on her lower lip. 

She wouldn't deny herself that she was able to wake up this fast, because of him. The way he called her name. 

The worry in his tone and how he kept blaming himself for everything. The love and affection was poured out without restraint and all she wanted was to make it stop. 

To make him stop worrying. To let him know that he was taking it too far and she was alright  

Leo looked like he just woke up from a sweet dream, as he couldn't believe his ears.

Clara shut her eyes and bit her lower lip harder, feeling ashamed while she slowly pulled back to meet Leo's intense gaze. 

"Don't look at me." She said and quickly used her palm to cover her face, "I can't believe I just did and said all that." She added, shaking her head in shame, not pulling her hand from her face.

Leo smiled at her cuteness, but didn't say anything and just kept staring at her. Those white sets of teeth that look too good to be real, were being flashed at him below her hand that was above her face, looking more like an amazing piece of art.

He doubted if his racing heart could survive an attack if he kept staring at her like this.

If Clara had been this obedient from the start, he was sure they might be getting ready to welcome a child by now. He just can't wait to spend the rest of his life with this woman. 

Clara peeped in between her palm and still met Leo' gaze.

"Oh! common? Stop making this harder on me than it already was." She said as she pulled her hands from her face and punched his chest childishly. 

Leo couldn't take it anymore. Getting hold of her hands, Clara also stopped with her play and looked seriously into his eyes. 

Seeing him lean towards her, she remained still and when his lips met her own, she blinked and felt him release her hands. 

His lips began moving against her own and she reciprocated willingly. Her hand didn't drop by her side but went to wrap around his neck. 

The feeling of his lips nipping on her own and his thumb rubbing her chin made her toe curls. She felt him deepened the kiss and let out a soft groan while her upper body moved closer to him, subconsciously.

It was taking longer that Clara wondered if he wanted to cut her lips off. She felt the need to breathe and patted his chest while trying to talk in between their lips' battle. 

He looked like he never wishes to stop anytime soon. 

Pulling back, they both stare into each other's eyes, while they gasp for air.

"What was that for?" Clara asked in a soft lustful tone, as half her sense has been kissed away. 

Her lips throbbed as if his lips were still nibbling on them. 

"That's for making me so crazy about you." Leo said and stroked her face gently. "You are so beautiful." He added.
