Something Little

"Woah!" Leon shook his head, looking down at Vienna and trying to access the fact that she was sitting on him. She seemed not to notice that she was on him, but something in him was already starting to react.

"Anna get up" he said quietly and gulped.

"Ooh I got the picture! I'm sending it to Mary right now." Sasha exclaimed.

"Hey! Stop!" Vienna stood up.

Leon sighed in relief and stood up too. Thankfully, he didn't get a hard on and that was all that mattered to him at the moment.

"What are you doing?" Vienna asked looking at both her parents, like she was the older one and was about to give them an earful.

"Planning for your wedding" Sasha answered innocently. She was completely oblivious of the idea that her daughter was getting upset.

"There isn't going to be a wedding mum!"

"Ofcourse there is dear. You just haven't gotten the perfect date yet."

Vienna fumed at her mother's words. Leon knew he was supposed to step in, but getting in an argument between mother and daughter was something he didn't want to get involved with.

"I'm tired of this. When will you realize it mum, Leon and I will never be anything... at all!" She huffed out in anger and stormed upstairs.

Leon detected a hint of sadness in her last words. Did she want them to be together? Was it too late to step in the argument now?

"Aw poor Vee" Frank clicked his tongue as he looked up the stairs.

"But you guys look so cute together" Sasha said looking at Leon.

"I'll talk to her" Leon said calmly and headed upstairs.

"I'm going to call Mary and tell her to rush down to Phoenix as soon as possible! We're finally having a wedding" Sasha said excitedly as she went to a corner to make her call.

.

Leon stopped at the door of Vee's room, listening quietly to hear the sobs coming from behind the door.

"Anna" he knocked and then he opened the door without waiting for a reply.

Vee's eyes was already red as she stared at him. It looked like she was about to open the door herself because her hand was stretched forward.

"Are you crying?" He didn't know why but some part of him was hurt, seeing her like that. He suddenly felt how he used too when he first saw her as a baby, to keep her from getting hurt. When she grew older and they became closer, to protect her from the wicked world, even though her parents might be a part of it. It had been a long while since he saw her in that kind of state. He couldn't remember the last time he saw her cry.

"I'm not crying. I'm mad" Vee answered.

Okay then why are you sad?

"They should know nothing's EVER going to happen between us. I'm tired of their constant drama. And now they want to send pictures to your mum?" Vee looked at him as if saying, 'you know how your mum is right?'

Leon got the hint. If Mrs Devel was being like this with wedding plans, then his mother, Mary Hartman, was going to be much worse. She had been the one that brought the idea about them getting married while Sasha was still pregnant with Vee then. And as Vee got older and bigger, his mother just fell in-love with her the more. She didn't even allow any of his past girlfriends to visit the house. And now that Sasha would send her pictures, he had no doubt that his parents would fly to Phoenix once they saw it.

He didn't care about the marriage talk while he was younger because he loved Vee then. He shook his head, 'Did I just say love?'

He moved closer to Vee and hugged her. "Shh, don't cry okay" he said soothingly.

Vienna pushed him. "I'm not crying"

Now she was glaring at him. He just wanted to help and this girl wasn't even grateful. Tch, such a pest.

"Fine. You do you" he turned to the door.

"I just want to leave this place. Even it's for a week" Vee flopped down on the bed. "I would go mad living with Mr and Mrs crazy" her voice came out muffled because her face was buried in the bed.

Leon turned back to her. "Move out then"

"I can't!" Her muffled voice came out. "I can't live alone"

Leon thought for awhile. He knew Vienna's fears well, and living alone was part of them. She hated staying alone in a house, even if it was her parents' and they just went out for a long date. She was such a baby sometimes.

"I could move out with you" he said slowly because he didn't know how she would react to it. She might have his head for even thinking such.

Vee turned sharply to him. Oh no, this was it, he thought.

"Really?" She asked, and she was smiling.

Leon relaxed, "Yeah. I'd also like to get away from Mr and Mrs crazy"

"Did you just call my parents crazy?" She looked surprise and was trying to hide a smile as she looked him up and down.

"Yes but only because you said it first."

She quickly jumped from the bed to his body, wrapping him in what was supposed to be a tight hug. His arms were at each side of his body and she tried to use her small arms to squeeze him in but they weren't fitting.

"Anna" he chuckled at her attempt.

"Thank you so much!" She exclaimed and started doing little jumps while still hugging him.

Leon froze. What was she doing? Her breasts were bouncing on him as she jumped and his brain was getting wrong signals. Maybe moving with her was a bad idea. He gulped as she continued jumping like a child, and when he was about to remove his arms from her embrace and hug her back, she released him.

He almost whined at the dis-embrace but he covered it up with a small cough. "Looking for an apartment might take a while so let's just manage while we're here"

"Okay" Vee smiled.

He tried so hard not to smile back, her smile was contagious. "Stop smiling" he managed to frown at her and she rolled her eyes at him.

"Goodnight Anna" he said as he walked out the door.

"Goodnight LEE"

He could feel her smiling again and he couldn't help grinning. It was good she was behind him and couldn't see his face. He shook his head and closed the door. He decided not to tell her about the possibility that his parents might be visiting, since they would be already out of her parents' house by then.

.

The week at work had gone well for Leon. He had gone on a patrol with the police and he had felt the rush of adrenaline bursting through his veins. Something little, yet felt very soothing and comfortable. He felt like there were no more problems in the world when he was with the guys at work. He actually zoned out from reality, forgetting everything until Vienna told him that Saturday that she was going to tell Camy and Phina about them moving.

Now he was heading over to Liam's. Liam worked with one of the best housing agents in the state, D.H ESTATES, so he was the best person to help him find a suitable apartment.

He stood at the front door, knocked softly and waited. He had already texted Liam that he was coming over, but seeing as the door wasn't opening after a few seconds, something had to be wrong. He thought to knock again but he discarded the thought and just opened the door.

"Jesus man!" Liam shouted when the door opened. He disengaged from the half naked woman he was kissing and stared apologetically at Leon.

Leon didn't look surprised. He closed the door and waited for them both to dress up. Liam was your typical play boy so he had a new girl with him almost every day. He didn't believe in relationships, a new girl in bed everyday was what was IT for him. But what shook Leon a little was that they were shamelessly having a heated make out session in the living room. The door was unlocked and the woman was only in a bra and her dress, covering from her waist to her thighs. He thought if he had come a few minutes later, then what would he have seen.

Disgusting.

"Leon" Liam stood up after buttoning up his shirt. He stretched his hand for a shake.

Leon looked at his outstretched hand with a disgusted look on his face. "Who knows where that hand has been" he looked over at the girl who was still zipping up her dress and sat on the couch adjacent hers.

"I told you to always knock three times" Liam said, like he wasn't to be blamed.

"And I told you to lock all doors when doing this" he circled around the girl with his hand.

The girl turned to him with a smile.

"Riley?" He asked surprised. Liam and Riley?, perfect match, he thought.

"You recognize me anywhere, don't you? That's why I like you so much" she purred.

He looked at Liam but his face was just neutral. Was he not affected by what Riley said? Weren't they just sucking each others faces moments ago? Guess they just needed to satisfy themselves. Two players together, maybe not so perfect.

Riley stood up and picked her keys from the side table. "I'll leave you boys to manly business. Call me sometime baby boy" she said to Leon and left.

Leon stared at the closed door. She didn't even say bye to Liam. Guess like poles really don't attract.

"So now you ruined my fun, what can I do for you oh mighty Leon" Liam said mockingly as he bowed his head in greeting.

"Don't call me that"

"Sure thing boss"

"Don't call me that" Leon gritted.

"Okay" Liam chuckled, raising his hands in surrender.

"I sent you a text. Did you see it?"

"What text?" Liam asked as he sat down.

"The apartment" Leon sighed.

"What apartment?"

"The apartment I texted you about"

"Yeah... but which one?" Leon noticed the smile playing on his lips. This guy was trying to annoy him.

"Mine" Leon still answered.

"What do you need an apartment for?"

Leon glared at him. If Liam wasn't a close friend of his and he didn't need his help, he would have walked out at that moment.

"Okay chill dude" Liam laughed. "But seriously why do you need an apartment? And a two bedroom at that"

"I'm moving out with someone"

"Who is this SOMEONE?" Liam pried. "You've never moved out with someone before so who is she? Is she hot? Got nice curves?"

The look on Leon's face shut Liam up. Liam didn't know who Vienna was but just hearing him talk that way about her, like she was one of his sluts he could use, Leon couldn't take it at all.

"She's a friend" he said coldly still glaring at him.

Liam noticed Leon's anger so he just kept quiet and stood up. "Let's go now" he said calmly so as not to upset him again.

Leon stood up and walked out of the door Liam was holding open.
