"Why did you bring me breakfast?" Anna had made her request and it was horrible, she wanted to know what Leonardo wanted.
"I want to move into your room" he said with a confidence that told her she might not have a choice.
"There is no way that is happening, you can take your breakfast and leave my room, and ensure you knock on the door and wait for me to ask you to come in, that is if I allow you to, before you walk in here, do you understand?" she didn't wait for him to respond, instead she laid back down on the bed and covered her body with the duvet.
Leonardo smiled; she was being dramatic, good thing he was in a very good mood. Last night, he was tempted to come into her room and sleep beside her, but he had thought to allow her rest.
He pulled down the duvet, and she buried her head in her pillow.
"Leave me alone" she did not want to have any conversation with him. He was making her go insane emotionally.
"Sit up and listen to me Alisha" he said it with an authority that made her sit up, even if she crossed her arms over her breast and had a frown on her face.
"I need to move to your room because I need to do a remodeling in my own room, and this is the closet room to mine, so I would not need to move my things far to the guest room"
"That's fine then, I will move my things to the guest room" Alisha said and got up to start moving her things.
"No no, you are not moving; we will use this room together"
"I do not want that"
"I'm afraid you do not have a choice here, grandpa Alexandra and Nana called this morning, they wish to spend a few days with us, and we would have a lot of explanation to do if they find out we are not sleeping in the same room.
I'm sure you would not want to face your sister with the multiple questions she would be asking as to why a woman who is barely married for four months, is not sleeping in the same room with her husband."
"Fine, I don't need more excuses, but you for taking the floor, there is no way I am sharing the bed with you anymore." She was feeling hungry already, since he had won, she was not going to lose her bedroom privacy and miss this free breakfast in bed as well, so she grabbed the try and started eating.
"You can't instruct me to take the floor, I am using the bed, you can as well take the floor for all I care, but I will not be uncomfortable in my own house, enjoy your breakfast" he did not wait for her response and he left the room.
Alisha spent most of the morning, trying to arrange her things in a way that Leonardo's things would fit in, she didn't know how long the remodeling would take, so she could not guess how long they would be sharing the room.
Later in the afternoon, Leonardo moved his things to her room while she made lunch. She called her dad later that day to have him speak to Anna not to come to California.
"Dad, I know we spoke already today but I need a favor from you"
"Twice in a day is never too much to speak with you my angel, I was going to call you, thank you again for Anna's surgery, and thank you for suggesting she come spend some time with you and Leonardo.
"Wait, she told you I suggested that?" Alisha asked surprised, Anna has really outdone herself this time.
"Yes, she said she had a face time with you and you suggested it, I love that you are very sensitive, who would have thought one look at Anna and you would notice she is depressed and troubled about something."
Anna was depressed? She never knew about that.
"Thank you Alisha, I'm sure this trip will do her mental health some good."
"It's no problem dad, I'm glad she has us both."
"You wanted to ask me for a favor, what was that?" her dad asked and she tried to cook up another reason, with what dad had just said about Anna being depressed, she could not tell him to stop her from coming over, it will break both he and Anna's heart.
"Hmm, I just wanted to ask you to help me find my old diary from my box and please give Anna to come along with it, I think I have some recipes in there that I would love to try for the bakery." She did not need the diary, she remembered every recipe she had tried to recreate as she grew up, but she had to cover up the initial request she had wanted to make.
"Sure Lish dear, I would do that for you, Anna is excited about this trip, she is packing already."
She ended the conversation with her dad and asked Mary to prepare two rooms, one for grandpa and Nana and another for Anna.
She decided that the next day after she was done at the bakery, she would shop for things Anna liked, she needed to make sure her baby sister was comfortable enough to open up to her and tell her what was wrong.
On Monday morning, Alisha got ready for work, Leonardo offered to drive her to the bakery, she was glad he had slept in his own room since the remodeling was yet to start and they didn't have an audience to impress yet.
"Thank you for bringing me, but please don't bother picking me up, I need to get to the mall after work" Alisha said before the alighted from the car.
The bakery was not as crowded as the day of the lunch, but a few people came in coffee and muffins, some came in for banana bread. She got four orders, two anniversary cakes, one birthday cake, and one proposal cake.
She had one baker manage the baking of items for the bakery; she had the other one work on the birthday cake, while she worked on the proposal cake.
She thought out of the box, trying to make the "Will you marry me" design on the cake very different from the popular designs all around.
The wedding anniversary cake was not urgent, and since she was tired already, she finished other orders and had them delivered.
When she locked up the bakery that evening, she decided she would take a taxi to the mall and then head home to make dinner, Mary had asked to take the day off to attend to a personal need.
She wished she had not told Leonardo not to pick her up; she was tired as she waited for a taxi.
Alisha arrived at the house tired and worried about what she could put together for dinner. She was not his real wife, so she was not mandated to have dinner on the table for him, but it was a reasonable thing to do especially since Mary was off.
She went into the kitchen with the grocery bags in her hand and she found Leonardo cooking.
"A rare sight" she smile drawing his attention. He went up to her to take the bag from her and she saw that he was wear "Kiss the cook" apron. She did not even know they had that in the house.
"I know you must be tired, why not you shower and come down to eat something."
"Why are you being nice?"
"Maybe because you get to kiss the cook?" it is not every day you hear Leonardo make a joke.
"You wish, get it from those your skinny blond" she rolled her eyes and took out the grocery from the bags.
She came down after her shower and joined Leonardo to set the table. They ate their dinner with small talks. He asked her how are day went at the bakery, and she asked him about work, then she reminded him that Anna was coming in the next day.
He tried to distract himself as they ate, watching her sip from her wine glass, made him have thoughts of rushing to her side, kissing her and sulking the wine from her lips.
He offered to get Alisha a driver to drive her to and from the bakery and any other places she might want to go to. Alisha turned down the offer; she said she could always take the cab.
"Goodnight" Alisha said to him when they got to the door of her room, she was expecting him to reply and go into his own room, at least they had no audience yet, and she could enjoy her room for one last time alone tonight.
"Hmm, I forgot to mention, the interior designer brought in some materials to commence work tomorrow, so I can't spend the night there, some chemicals are smelling already."
"Oh, but you can use the guest room tonight since it's just the two of us today"
"Alisha why are you nervous, it's not the first time we would share a bed together." He was right, they had shared a bed for three weeks on their supposed honeymoon, and a week at Hong Kong for the business vacation, so why was she nervous.
She went into the room and he followed suit. She went to brush her teeth, while he changed into something comfortable.
"Oh, I'm so sorry" she turned around quickly. She had walked in on him in only boxers, his huge size showed through the boxer.
Leonardo smiled and instead of covering up, went into the bathroom in his boxer to brush his teeth.
When he got back, Alisha was already in bed, she was wearing a silk night gown, sleeveless and short, so she hide herself under the duvet.
"Are you not going to wear something, maybe pants?" she asked when she saw Leonardo going under the duvet just in his boxer.
"Hmm, no I am comfortable this way, but if I get cold at night, I would put on something."
"Okay, good night" she turned her back to him and turned off the light by her stand.
She was almost dozing off when she felt Leonardo moving closer to her, she stayed still and tried breathing more quietly. He didn't move anymore closer and she slept off.
Leonardo looked inside the duvet when he was sure Alisha had slept off, her sight was breathtaking. Her silk sleep dress had moved up and he could see her fair thigh. She had turned over in her sleep and she was facing him.
Her nipples were pointed and he could see through her dress, the more he stared at her and thought about what he could do to her body, the more his dick got hard and pushed through his boxer.
He was tempted to throw away his boxer, rip off her sleep dress, and kiss her body until her eyes opened, and when she would open her mouth and try to ask him what he was doing, he would kiss her until her nipples got harder, she was aroused and her panties were soaked.
"What if she isn't even wearing any panties underneath that dress?" he thought, and this made his boner stronger.
He wouldn't last the night.
He moved closer to her, he was gradually losing control. He wanted this woman, he didn't want to care about the any longer about the signed contract or risking his inheritance, he needed his dick inside this woman, he wanted to make her moan his name loudly.
He was about to run his fingers on her naked thigh when she adjusted her sleeping form and her hand went to his erected penis.
