MEL POV
After Leo left with Lina I decided to read the report she handed me.
10 minutes went by and I was still waiting patiently for Leo to come back.
What if he likes Lina? I mean she's stunning, not to mention she's younger than me and we all know how Leo feels about younger women.
She's also way smarter than me and the way her curve bounces when she walks could make any man fall to his knees.
Although I trust Leo I still feel like he thinks Lina is attractive I mean, even I think she's hot.
"Stop doing that" Leo interrupted me from my thoughts and I peered up from the computer screen gazing at his muscular frame standing at the door.
"Doing what?" I questioned.
"Overthinking every little detail. Do you seriously think I would want to fuck Lina?" He asked and my eyes widened, he's like a fucking mind reader but he also wasn't wrong.
"Well she did ask you on a date once, plus you're quite known for fucking co-workers, aren't you?" I state smugly referring to his assistant.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Floral? your assistant."
"How the fuck do you know that?"
Floral, Lina and I were talking in the conference room about our weird and wonderful hook-ups when confessed that Leo came to her hotel room one night while they were on a business trip and ended up having sex.
Floral said she regretted it deeply and I can see it in her eyes the poor girl just wanted to focus on her work yet it still pains me that she's still his assistant now that Leo and I are a couple.
"We're girls of course I know that" I state and he steps further into my office.
"Well didn't you have a fuck buddy for a while? You're not so innocent either" He argues and I'm taken aback by the sudden anger laced in his voice.
"Why are you bringing up Connor? it's not like I'm around Connor 24/7.
You fucking work with Lina and the girl you fucked is still your assistant!" I argue back rising from my seat.
"You still don't trust me, do you" He sighs pinching his temple, clearly frustrated.
"I do," I say softly, my anger replaced with sorrow.
"Then why the fuck are we having this argument when you know I would never even touch Lina let alone fuck her and Floral needs this job, we pushed that night far away, and our relationship is strictly just co-workers," He says, and suddenly his watch on his wrist beeps.
He glances down and groans.
"We'll talk about this later I have a meeting," He said.
"Seriously?" I furrow my brows, surely his meeting and wait, he's the boss after all.
"I'll see you at home" He sends me a weak smile heading out the door.
Maybe I overreacted about Lina a little but he can't just leave me to drown in my thoughts while he's in his meeting.
He knows I overthink too much which makes matters way worse.
My day finally finished and I was now on my way home, Leo hadn't texted me or come to see me in my office since our little argument, I get he's busy Man but I would think that my feelings are more important.
Unlocking the front door I was expecting Leo to be inside since he finished work before me yet I was met with an empty house, I turned the living room light on since it was dark outside and decided to go upstairs and change into something more comfortable.
I changed into some grey sweats and one of Leo's black hoodies which looked huge on me and whipped my phone out to text Leo.
ME: Where are you?
If Leo was out with his friends he would usually text me so I don't freak out but this time, I received no calls or texts from him, and especially after our argument I'm a lot more worried.
Sighing I headed back downstairs turned on the TV and decided to catch up on a new Netflix series, I had been recently binging.
A few hours went by and Leo still wasn't home, it was now almost 1 am, I do trust Leo but now my heart was pounding in my chest I could only assume the worst when he wasn't even coming home.
The clock then reached 2 am and I was out of my fucking mind, I shouldn't be this worried but it's been around 5 hours with no news of Leo.
I had left him a shit ton of missed calls and some desperate text messages each at different times.
ME: Call me when you can baby, I'm getting worried.
ME: Leo please call me I'm sorry.
ME: Please come home, love you.
I decided the only person other than Leo who could keep me sane right now was my best friend Charlotte.
I dialed her number and just like that she picked up which was surprising since it was 2 am.
"Hey Charlotte sorry to wake you," I said.
"Hey Melanie and you didn't wake me but you are a huge cock blocker" She chuckled and I also heard Dean laughing in the background but I
didn't care that he was listening to our conversation.
"Is everything okay?" She spoke up when I didn't say anything.
"I don't know anymore" I sighed resting my head on my hand.
"Is it the baby? Or is it Leo?" She asked.
"It's Leo"
"Oh what did that fucker do now" She growled and I chuckled at her comment.
"He hasn't come yet and normally he would call me or text me to tell me where he is and he hasn't called and now I'm scared"
"Is there a reason he hasn't come home yet?"
"We argued earlier today and that was the last saw of him, I do trust him It just... I don't think he's coming home." › murmured and my eyes began welling up with tears.
Why the fuck am crying? Jesus.
Pregnancy is making my hormones fly all over the place.
"Oh Melanie" She sighed.
"I promise you he wouldn't do anything like that, he loves you too much than to go out with random girls while you're sat at home pregnant" Charlotte assures me.
"I may have my opinions about him but every time he looks at you it is like nobody else matters but you.
"Thank you, Charlotte he just-" I was cut off by the front door audibly slamming and hearing the noise of a vase smashing on the floor.
"Fuck me" That voice that I knew all too well― Leo's voice of course.
I chuckled when I saw him lying on the sofa with a drunken smile spread across his beautiful face as if he had forgotten all about our fight.
"I'll call you back Charlotte"
