Gangster

Mia was glad she had dance practice that evening. How would she have faced Leo after such embarrassment? 

How did she even just assume that Leo wanted to propose to her? She was so embarrassed she wasn't sure she would get over it even after a year. 

She looked out the bus window and touched the necklace Leo had bought her. It was a tiny gold necklace with a star pendant. Even though she had been embarrassed, it didn't stop her from rejecting it once she saw it inside the box. It looked too expensive. If she took it to a pawn shop, she was definitely going to receive a lot of money.

"It's yours baby." Leo said and refused to hear her reject his gift to her. He stood up from the bed and moved to where she was before taking the necklace and wearing it on her. 

"Let's not argue about this, hmm?" He used a finger to raise her chin so she can look into his eyes.
