ANOTHER CHANCE AT LOVE

Well... She started with a deep breath. My family killed them! My aunt killed my parents!

Logan took in a deep breath to understand what she was saying. So you're saying, they killed your parents?

Yes! I explained everything to him and he gave me a blank look for a while.

So what's your plan?

I don't want them alive anymore!

Logan gave her a questionable brow. And said that's understandable but... How do you want it?

I want to make them pay Logan one way or another, I need to be the one to decide their fate.

Okay, let me know what you need, and I'll help out. Or would you rather do this alone?

No... I mean, ... Yes I'll punish them alone but I need you to be there with me. She said the last words with a heavy heart.

You always have me, Nalani.

Sighs in relief.

Logan... There's something I've been meaning to ask you. What were you doing at my house twenty years ago?? I'm sorry I know you don't remember anything, forget I asked. I said trying to change the topic.

Specific date?? He asked with a serious look.

What? I asked.

The specific date of the event.

My birthday, April twenty-sixth.

His brows furrowed as he frowned thinking deeply. That same date few years back he was just a boy in the organization sent on a mission to kill an entire family and then it hit him, NO!!

What's wrong Logan?

Umm... Nalani?

Yes?

I used to be part of an organization, actually, I was also in that same organization, and my first mission was to wipe out your entire family. I confessed as beads of sweat formed on my forehead. I watched her face turn from shock to disgust as she turned on her heels.

Great! Just great! She cursed.

Wait...Nalani... Please wait it's not what you think.

Wait for what again? Logan, what should I listen to again? It feels like I don't have any real person in my life anymore. Everyone around me always ends up being the enemy and now even you? I'm done, Logan! I'm done! She says in a pained voice.

Nalani, I can swear on my life that I didn't do it.

How did they end up dead then?

Look... I have no idea why or how things turned out like this, all I know is they wanted me to wipe out your entire family, and at that time I would have done everything possible to gain my freedom back. But on the night of the mission, I overheard a conversation between the big boss and a woman. I realized your family didn't deserve such tragedy. I instantly hated them for such and took it upon myself to save your family but I wasn't lucky enough cause I could only save you, I managed to calm you down and went back for your parents but I was too late. And coming back you were already gone.

So... that's why you were there that night? She asked understanding the situation.

You remember?

Of course, it's the reason why I avoided you after recovering my memories.

Oh... I'm sorry I really can't remember anything about us yet. He said apologetically.

It's ok, it's not your fault anyway.

But still... I'm sorry.

It's fine. We need to come up with a plan and I just know how we'll do it. I said as an idea popped through my mind and I flashed him a sweet smile.

Why are you staring at me like that? I asked finding her smile unsettling.

You'll be the bait!

What the?...

AT LEO'S...

Somehow in the past few weeks, Ella and I have become close and sorted out our issues, I don't know if it's the right thing to do but I love the idea of giving love another chance and I can't hide the fact that I'm still very attracted to her. I may no longer be her first but I would rather be her last than lose her again.

Good morning Leo she said descending the stairs in a bathrobe, her hair looking wet and soft.

Good morning El how was your night? I asked trying to break from the spell of her beauty.

It was lovely. Thanks for letting me spend the night here I'm sorry for prying into your space. I know it was a last-minute call.

It's fine I don't mind, and besides I'm the only one here. And the maids, I added with a chuckle.

Hahaha, yeah I guess it must be really empty.

Nah... I'm used to it.

So... No love life? She asked out of the blue and I suddenly went silent.

You should get changed I'll be late for work, I said trying to avoid the topic.

Leo...

I didn't respond I just mounted the stairs into my room. You can call me a coward, but how do I tell her that there's been no love life and that I've been putting my dick in every hole? What if it makes her judge me and she becomes uncomfortable around me? Heck, I'm not ready to go down that road now. As I entered my room I took off my T-shirt ready to use the bathroom when my door flew open.

Why the hell can't you just knock?! I scolded only to meet a surprised Ella standing at the door.

Sorry... She said and was about to leave when I stopped her.

No, I'm sorry. I thought it was one of the maids, you're not the type to barge in without knocking.

It's ok, I'm still sorry, I should have knocked. She responded as her eyes scanned my body and her hands subconsciously traced the lines of my abbs, I saw her swallow hard as she slowly lifted her eyes to meet mine. I love you, Leonardo.

As if I had been spellbound by her eyes I responded with honesty. I love you too Ella.

Please make love to me, she said causing me to freeze.

Wait... What?....
