Acts louder than words.

The sky was darkening with heavy clouds floating above. Leonardo sighed while gazing up then looked at the front gate, were Cecilia was pulling her bike while hugging and kissing Hailey and Helen goodbye.

Around the backyard were only some workers cleaning the leftover mess of the barbecue.

Hailey picked up her phone and took a selfie with Cecilia before waving and walking away.

Cecilia then turned her gaze to the back and Leonardo was faced with an elite soldier's nitrogen cold countenance. Helen alternated looks between him and Cecilia, understanding something she patted Cecilia's back, gave her another goodbye kiss on the cheek and walked away.

Without bothering with words, Cecilia brought her thick and heavy 1000cc bike out onto the street, sat above it and turned it on.

Without even looking sideways to see if there were other vehicles going by the road Cecilia twisted the accelerating handle.

But pressed the breaks right after, her rear wheel went up a few centimeters and the front tire screeched on the asphalt.

She took deep breaths to calm down but as she looked at the normal bicycle thrown in front of her and Leonardo patting off the dust from his hand she clenched her teeth and for the first time gave voice to the rage inside.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!? It isn't enough what you did today, you had to try and kill me too!?" She took off her helmet and continued. "What? Do you want another fun round with me to tell your online friends!?"

Leonardo's expression remained stone cold. He took two slow steps towards her and spoke without a single hint of emotion on his voice. "What did I do, that got you like this?"

She scoffed "What did you do!? What!? you'll say that what happened earlier was nothing? That since we're not officially in a relationship you can leave me aside and bone someone else a few hours after spending a whole night with me!? And what about that bullshit that claim you'll keep both of us!? Who do you think you are?"

Her eyes were bloodshot as she kept talking with a self-deprecating smile "I guess you're still a kid trying to bone as many chicks as you can to gloat with your pals."

The cold breeze suddenly passed through them.

Leonardo sighed without changing expression, looked up to the sky and said: "I fell in love with you on the very first second I saw you."

He turned his eyes back to her and continued

"Three days before you asked my mother If I could go out to play, It was on the day I moved, I saw you through the window. You were playing with a stray cat that ended up biting your hand."

She frowned "You think a story from the past will mellow this out?

"Mellow it out?" Leonardo sneered loudly.

Cecilia squinted feeling a sinister cold behind that sneer.

"I have no intention of mellowing anything. Take that anger of yours as an example; we're not together, we only slept together once, but you already felt a degree of possession towards me and that made you so goddamn angry."

He snickered and continued. "Now imagine feeling that from the very beginning, For me, from that very day I saw you through the window; Every kiss you gave to others, every hand you held that wasn't mine, every giggle you let out that wasn't with me, those were all betrayals that sickened me. The first dates, all of your first times… None of them were with me..."

Leonardo took one step forward with ira on his dark eyes. He spoke slowly, through clenched teeth. "And every single one was a spear through my gut."

Cecilia celt a terrifying chill spread throughout her spine. Leonardo's gaze then turned into a bottomless pitch-black abyss as he stepped back and shrugged.

"But I understand you were not aware, so I didn't hold it against you, even now, I know that you'll go back to your fiance and play some more giggles and laughs before deciding on anything. But I'll endure it because I know things can't be rushed after just one good night. So I'll do this instead, I'll give you a chance of not having me in your life;" He said.

"I'll never text you again, you can call me instead and we'll keep a normal polite relationship because of your friendship with mom." He took two steps back and raised a finger.

"But If you text me. Send the simplest hello or just a plain coma, I won't ever leave you alone, regardless of your opinion or intent. Crying or laughing you'll belong to me, and I'll destroy everyone that tries to steal you from me, literally."

The chilly breeze made Cecilia shiver. She snorted spitefully, roughly wore the helmed and sped away.

Azumi silently appeared beside him, she gazed at the dark wheater and smiled. [I thought it was what it looked like, a manipulation to keep her, but by the end, I saw through you…Though thin and fragile, you're really giving a chance to her…why?]

Leonardo put his hands in the pockets and resumed smiling. "Though not a saint, she's the best person, the most well-intended and 'clean' person I met. And I became the opposite of that. I thought that she deserved a chance to live a boring successful life."

Leonardo walked away, but Azumi put a finger on her lips and laughed in a mocking tone.

[You're still a boy, in the end. keep believing that and she'll surprise you one day, though you might just love it when she does. I'll give you one clue; though you might've provoked everything that happened yesterday, she was the one who made herself available.] Azumi laughed and disappeared.

Leonardo that was looking at her, stood in place and started pondering in a daze.

"Leo."

A soft voice called him.

He looked up, Helen was on the gate, shivering.

"Come inside, we need to talk."

Leonardo observed her face carefully then nodded.

****

Helen, wearing a thick blouse and pants to protect from the cold, sat down on a chair from the dinner table and blew the hot milk she made.

Leonardo chuckled as he sat down across from Helen. She squinted. "What's so funny?"

"You're so cute all furred up." He laughed and she snorted.

"..."

"..."

Silence settled in. Leonardo knew that although his mother seemed slow, she had better eyes than most to observe moods and changes in the air around a group. In a way, she was like Cassie who learned to read the mood so that she could find a way to please and seek validation from an individual. But Helen was different, she did it as a fighting mechanism. She uses it to thicken her armor or just spear through another's

And with no doubt, she read everything that happened today, from the behavior of Claudia, Cassie, and Cecilia alone. But she also saw how he handled Ugo, so he didn't really know what she would speak about.

Would she reprimand him? Speak of how wrong he is on what happened?

Helen took a mouthful of her hot milk and looked with worry at Leonardo. "I 'll just say this; Please, tell me you didn't forget to wear a condom."

Leonardo spat out the milk that was already on his mouth, he hurriedly cleaned the table and looked at Helen with incredulity.

She seemed uncomfortable and awkward as she continued to speak. "It's not a good time to have babies, and you also have to be careful of diseases."

She circled the table and patted his shoulder "Just be careful."

Leonardo was speechless and chose to just laugh, as he was about to speak, Silvio appeared on the door of the kitchen.

"Hey, my boy, you did great today, that fat dog's and his employees' votes are bagged, today was too good, I might even enter your mother's bedroom in the middle of the night." He laughed out loud and walked away.

Helen's whole face turned icy.

And so did Leonardo's. But he knew Silvio wouldn't do it. His mother was bound to Silvio because of her children's safety, but they never lied down in the same bedroom after he showed his true colors again. And Leonardo was a witness to what happened when Silvio tried to force it.

It wasn't a pretty end for Silvio.

"...He's an intelligent man." Leonardo said after reminiscing

Helen frowned.

"He could've chosen any other woman that desired to climb socially, but he chose to keep mom using any means, I would've undoubtedly done the same. Only, I would've made it in a way that mother wouldn't stop caring for me." He chuckled.

Helen snorted with a smile, kissed goodnight on his cheek and walked away to her bedroom across the hallway.

Leonardo stayed in the kitchen, and spend the time planning everything for the days to follow.

But half an hour didn't even pass before a familiar motor roar reached the front gates. Leonardo smiled and before he could take the keys to open the gates he heard someone jumping through the wall.

A minute later a cold-eyed Cecilia was standing in front of him.

Leonardo sighed helplessly 'So she's still like this…'

"Your gun is in my bedroo-"

A pair of hands shoved his back against the kitchen wall.

When Leonardo recovered from the impact, he looked down, Cecilia was on both her knees, pulling his short down.

The geisha's laugh reached his ear.

[Huhu, didn't I told you?]

Cecilia was rough and hungry as she shoved the soft member on her mouth and toyed with it with her tongue.

Leonardo felt the shiver climbing up as it stiffened rapidly.

It grew and she took it out of her mouth with a 'pop' sound.

She spits at it and licked repeatedly, lubing it whole. Her cellphone started ringing, she muted the volume until the hard and hot member in hands became well and wet.

Leonardo was knocked into a daze as he gazed down at her.

She got up and undid her pants. In the silent and dark kitchen, she pulled her panties downwards, turned, and bent over the table,

She held her buttcheeks apart and spoke in a low, delicious tone. "You complained of my firsts.. There's still this one left." She spread it more open, making her butthole evident.

Leonardo was trembling, he couldn't believe what was happening.

´[Don't think, act.]. He followed the geisha command and stretched out his tongue. But Cecilia stopped him after feeling it on her. "Don't, I lubed you up, it's all good, I need to leave here fast I'm already late."

Leonardo went mad with hunger, he put the head in without a second thought, she gasped and whimpered.

But he went slowly and carefully it was her first time, it took a while to slid it all in, she whimpered many times, but as he became fast, she started gasping instead.

His impatience grew and His eyes became red. He held her mouth close and pounded hard and fast. Back and forth.

She yelled form surprise and pleasure but he kept going. Her legs became weak and he sat down on the chair and made her sit.

She did it, she slid down the pole and he, with one hand in each of her tight, moved her up and down, his now strength allowed them that position.

Sweat covered him whole, he got up and rose her by the legs and pounded like a piston.

With a low grunt, He came inside.

They gasped for air, Cecilia kissed him deeply.

They were in a daze, Leonardo looked at the clock, it was already one am.

A sudden light shone again.

Cecilia looked at her cellphone.

The contct: 'Love of my life'was calling.

She turned off the call, and wrote while still sitting on Leonardo's lap.

[bad weather, have to spend another night here, let me sleep.]

Leonardo looked at her smiling eyes, and for the first time, saw an undeniable drop of malice mixed with happiness. Grinning, she hit send.

He felt re-invigorated, and she yelped and giggled with the thing inside growing in size.
