Chapter 63

When Leonardo opened his eyes the next morning, extreme guilt hit him hard. For in the barn loft, he sat up and saw a sea of girls' flesh bodies scattered around. Much like him they didn't have a single stitching of clothes on as their legs were overlapping with another or their butts in the air as a pleasant and satisfied smile crossed their lips. Not to mention Aurora who was at another focus point with one sleep nibbling her chest.

While it felt a bit blurry at parts for a moment such as sending most of the guys away. It began to come back to him like a wrecking ball which just made him feel guiltier. For what happened made him feel like a terrible person, and a lousy boyfriend. Even if it was mostly himself who felt that way, since he basically did something he felt unforgivable.

He gave other women who a few had boyfriends a night they wouldn't forget. If the smell that lightly lingered and the satisfied smiled where to go by. Not to mention the light sleep murmurs begging for another turn.

Finding his clothes among the pile of girls underwear and scattered clothes. He put them on before beginning to collect and sort the girls' outfits into piles for them. While he was sure to mess a few up, since a few he wasn't watching when they stripped out of them.

It was when he was nearly done did the girls that were laying in a heap begin to stir awake. Quite a few were a bit shy about their appearance or situation. However, they thanked him for such a lovely night and said they would be interested in another in the future. Then they quickly threw their clothes on and left in droves, after giving Aurora their contact information. Though they did leave a piece of underwear for Leonardo to remember them by.

Aurora who just collected and stored the information happily before finding her clothes. Even the ones with boyfriends left their information, but asked not to spread this out. Since they were interested in a repeat if they find themselves single.

Once Leonardo was sure all the girls were done and he thoroughly cleaned the barn to collect the miscellaneous clothes that may remain. He pretended not to see two guys in the horse stall as he woke them up and tossed them their clothes. That was a scene he didn't want to see.

Leonardo made his way back up to the loft as his guilt overwhelmed him. He just lifted up Aurora and placed her on his lap as he hugged her stomach. While no tears or soft sobs were given, it was clear as day to Aurora on how Leonardo felt.

Patting the strong arm that held her, Aurora decided to comfort him a bit. Since truth be told, she really didn't mind all that much. Not to mention she did have some blame in this matter as well.

"It's ok, Leo. I don't mind." Aurora answered.

"That makes me feel worse." Leonardo softly answered. "Not to mention what I did to some of those girls' boyfriends."

"Yeah, maybe not the brightest moment with choosing those." Aurora answered truthfully.

The two sat there in silence for a short while before Aurora began to talk. Since sitting here in silence clearly won't solve the issue. Not to mention she rather nips this issue in the bud instead allowing it to grow inside of Leonardo.

"I know that you feel terrible about what went down last night." Aurora began. "Sure the magic Lana released with Lois and Chloe didn't help matters, however I don't mind what happened. In fact, I would like to do such things again with you. Granted, I don't want other males to be apart of it."

"This isn't helping much." Leonardo whispered softly.

"Leo, where is the confidence you normally hold? Most males could only dream about such things happening, much less having their girlfriend wanting to organize another one." Aurora lightly snapped.

"I'm not confident, it's just a front to hide my insecurities, shyness and lack of self-esteem. I feel terrified half the time since I don't know what to do. I'm scared one day you will wake up and say goodbye saying I am a terrible boyfriend or something. Then Clark runs to me for answers, many I don't know the answer too, since he holds the answer himself. Since it's his life and I have no interest in controlling what he wants to do."

Leonardo began to say even if he didn't mean too as he began to unload all his worries. The issues of he struggling with such feelings like an outsider due to lack of friends or family. Even the Kents outside of Clark keep him at an arm's length at times. While trying to keep a calm persona for Clark who tends to fret and stress out when stressful events happen to him.

"Leo." Aurora softly said. "You seem to be a bit too selfless, that you forget to do things for yourself. Do you know why I don't care how many naked women you paint? It is because it seems like you are projecting your desire to be worry free and freedom in the painting."

Leonardo laughed a bit at that remark. It was one way of looking at the art piece since he did tend to paint in such a way. Since it expresses the freedom and confidence of being oneself and not worried about what others think. Though he did have to hide those pieces since Jonathan and Martha didn't think as much.

"Another thing, Leo." Aurora continued. "I like you, I really, really like you and while I know it is a bit cheesy and cliche to say. However I really hope there won't be a day when we say goodbye like you fear."

It took a few moments, but Leonardo let out a soft thank you.

--

"Leo! We have a problem."

A while later, Clark charged into the house. Sitting blankly at the canvas before him, Leonardo barely turned his head to look at panic Clark. Leonardo soon returned to the canvas unable to will himself to continue painting outside the blueberry muffin, despite the humanoid outlines waiting patiently.

"What is the issue?" Leonardo asked. "Unable to track down the possessed trio?"

"Yes," Clark nodded. "I just came back from Lex and it seems Lana got to him yesterday and forced him to practice the piano nonstop. The entire keyboard was red with his bloody finger. Then I went to Lana's apartment and found Jason thrown out after trying to burn an old looking book. After that I lost them."

"Ok," Leonardo replied. "Do you know how she got possessed, who possessed her, what she after, and how to stop her?"

"Jason told me it was her ancestor Margaret Isobel Thoreaux, a witch burned in the 1600's. Anyways he mentioned that if we destroy the book they are carrying, it should resolve the issue." Clark explained quickly.

"How does he know all this?" Leonardo raised a suspicious eyebrow.

"We can look into that later as I find it strange too. However, right now we need to focus on saving the three first." Clark said.

"Very well. Shall we head out to the barn, I believe our trio have returned for an encore." Leonardo stood up slowly.

"Huh?" Clark seemed confused for a moment before slapping his forehead.

In his haste, he forgot about his super hearing as he was so focused on reaching Leonardo he forgot about this. Then he quickly tuned his hearing and realized that Leonardo was right. It had seemed the trio of witches had come to their barn for some strange reason.

"Where are the stones?" Isobel demanded when Leonardo and Clark stepped into the barn.

"They are where they are." Leonardo replied softly.

Leonardo looked at the three before finding the book in Chloe's hands temporarily. Really not in the mood to deal with three witches who are able to use magic. Leonardo moved Clark in front of him while he used his heat vision to burn the book to ashes.

Hence while Clark found himself flung through the barn roof and out into the pastured due to Isobel spell. A loud boom occurred as the book was destroyed and the three fainted to the barn floor.

"I thought it would be harder." Leonardo turned around and went back to the house.

A few minutes later, Clark led the confused trio inside the house as they tried to cover themselves. Clearly they didn't like the outfits they were wearing, or like Lois who kept shifting like she had a wedgie.
