Do You Want To Know Why?

Jasmine gets off Leon's green car when the boy opens the door for her. Jasmine's face blushes red, Leonardo's sweet act making her feel like a princess. A sweet smile does not want to go away from her face.

"You can go home, Leon. I can walk by myself from here."

"You don't offer me to come by to your house?" Leon is still unwilling to separate from Jasmine.

"Hm … do you want to come in?" Jasmine stares with a wondering look at Leon. Her house is tiny and slum. A young master like him will be uncomfortable going inside her house.

"Of course I want! let's go!" Leon immediately grabs Jasmine's wrist and pulls her to walk into the narrow housing alley. His car can not pass this alley, so Leonardo leaves his car on the more prominent street in front of the alley.

Only a few meters and they arrive at a tiny house with a lot of flower pots toward the windows and about the brick fences.

"Please, come in. Sorry, my house is tiny. You must be uncomfortable here." Jasmine asks Leonardo to come inside her house.

Leon goes inside the house. When he steps in, Leon can directly see a sofa, dining table, and kitchen. Near the kitchen, there is a bathroom. And on the right side is a bedroom. Although it is tiny, the house is very neat and clean. He stares in awe.

"Do not Comment! I already told you that my house is tiny." Jasmine takes off her shoes and bag and then puts them back in the right places.

Leon nods. He sits on the sofa in the living room. His eyes still accommodate maximally to observe every edge of Jasmine's tiny comfy house. Warm and cozy, very homie.

Jasmine back and hands Leonardo a bottle of cold water. "Here, drink."

"Thanks."

"If you finish, then go home."

"Tsk, Why so fierce to me, huh? Even though I bought you lunch as high as the Himalayas mountain." Leon shakes his head and pulls the corner of his thin lips.

"Huff ... Okay, it's up to you. I want to bathe first, so sweating!" Jasmine leaves Leon and goes to her room.

"You live alone?" Leonardo asks.

"No, my Mama is working. She will go home soon." Jasmine glances at the clock to make sure Rosie's work hour.

"Ah... I see."

A few moments later, Jasmine already takes her clothes and rushes to bathe. Leon waits for Jasmine in the tiny little room. The fragrance of sweetness and softness of soap tickles his nose.

[Ah ... my mind becomes dirty!] Leon covers his face with his palms. He needs to calm down his beating heart, which is racing fast because of his dirty mind. He imagines Jasmine's body when she bathes.

After drying her hair with a towel, Jasmine sits beside Leonardo. She sees the arrogant young master sleeping on the couch, leaning comfy at the back. He sleeps while holding the cellphone. Jasmine sighs.

"He turns off his phone." Jasmine pulls the cellphone from Leon's grip and puts it on the coffee table.

***Ring***

Jasmine's cell phone rings.

[ROSIE: Mama, go with uncle Sanchez. We want to see kitchen utensils for our restaurant. There is chicken soup in the refrigerator. Warm it before you eat.]

[Mama is shopping with uncle Sanchez. So this evening I'm alone with the Lion.] Jasmine snorts. She puts her phone back on the table.

Jasmine examines Leon's handsome face. [Did his body so exhausted? Until his sleep looks so deep.]

Out of pity, Jasmine pulls Leon's body, placing Leon's head on her lap. Her hand strokes Leon's dark brown hair, a gentle caress gradually turning into a soft brush. Jasmine loves to run her fingers through Leon's thick hair; it feels like she is stroking a real lion.

"If only you had blonde hair, of course, you truly look like a lion." Jasmine mumbles.

"There is a lion with a dark brown mane." Leon's answer makes Jasmine startled.

"So... You already woke up, huh?"

"Yup. Ah ... why is it so comfortable sleeping on your lap?" Leon squirms his body after a short nap. He twists his body sprawl so that he can face Jasmine.

"Hurry, wakes up from my thigh." Jasmine's face turns red. She no longer can face Leon's handsomeness.

"No...!" Leon refuses Jasmine's orders directly without thinking. He doesn't want to lose this comfort.

"Don't be spoiled, Leon!" Jasmine wiggles her thighs for Leon to get up

"I still like this." Leon rubs his face against Jasmine's belly, about to go back to sleep.

"Don't play games, Young Master! Hurry up, or I will get up." Jasmine pinches Leon's ear, forcing him to get up and adjust his sitting position.

"Ah, I had a very good short sleep." Leonardo stretches his arms up.

"Are you hungry? Wanna go eat?" she asks.

"No, I'm not hungry."

"Oo ..." Jasmine says in a long tone.

"Only 'O'?"

"So what?"

"Hmm, how about you kiss me!" Leon brings his face closer to Jasmine. So close until Jasmine can feel his warm breath.

"No way!" Jasmine pushes Leon's face. "I'm wondering, Leon! Why do you want to kiss me so much?"

"Because I love you, Jasmine." Leon kisses the back of Jasmine's hand.

"Wh—why do you love me?" Jasmine stammerers. Leon's sweet manner makes her face warm, and her heart beats faster.

"Do you want to know why?" Leon lifts Jasmine's body easily on his lap. Jasmine nods. Leonardo's hazel brown beads enchant her.
