You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 758 Like A Freak

Stunned by her mother's question, Michelle blinked frantically as she tried to come up with an excuse.

Mothers know their daughters the most. Without a doubt, Elaine knew that her daughter must have fallen in love with someone. Since Michelle seemed unwilling to admit it, Elaine decided to stop talking about it. "Well, it doesn't matter. If someday you fall in love with a guy and get into a serious relationship with him, you can bring him home for dinner and introduce him to us."

Relieved, Michelle chuckled and sat next to Elaine. "I know that, Mom. Oh, by the way, thanks for washing my bed sheets yesterday," she said to her, holding her arm.

"It's nothing," Elaine replied, patting her gently on the face.

"Next time, I'll take care of the laundry for you. Don't worry about it, okay, Mom? You too, Dad. Alright?" Michelle offered.

Adams replied, "Okay, I'll let you know next time. From today on, your mom won't go to work. You should come back early and have dinner with her. I still have some things to take care of, so I may not join you. Don't stay out all night."

He stressed the last sentence.

"Got it, Dad," Michelle replied with a smile.

"Don't forget," Adams reminded her seriously.

Standing at attention like a soldier, Michelle stiffly saluted. "Yes, sir!"

Adam and Elaine shook their heads and chuckled at their daughter's antics.

Suddenly, Elaine remembered something. She looked at Michelle and said, "By the way, Mimi, Leon dropped by yesterday to get the spare key to Nina's apartment."

"What? He took it?" Deep inside, Michelle was a little reluctant to give it back to him. They had so many memories together in Nina's apartment. One time, she even kissed him secretly as he slept. Before she went abroad, she went back to the place to take his sheets with her.

'Wait!' Michelle realized something.

Last night, Leon did mention the sheets while they talked. He must have visited the apartment and found out about her secret.

Realizing this, she felt very embarrassed. Her face flushed red almost instantly.

Now Leon knew her secret.

"Ah!" Michelle let out a muffled scream into her palms as she squatted down.

Without a clue as to what was happening, both her parents were shocked. Elaine looked down at her and asked, "What's wrong, Mimi?"

Adams joined in as well. "What is it? Are you feeling any discomfort? Headache? Stomach pain? What is it?" Looking at his daughter as she tried to cover her blushing face, he kept on guessing what was wrong. "Is your face hurt? Why are you covering it with your hands?"

As if nothing had happened, Michelle stood up with a straight face and declared, "I'm going to work now. Bye, Mom and Dad." She then sprinted outside as if a ghost was chasing her.

Clueless, Elaine frowned. "Hey, what just happened?" she asked her husband.

"Don't worry about it. Seeing how fast she ran out that door, I'm sure she's fine."

They sat down and proceeded to eat breakfast.

Once she was already far from their house, Michelle stopped to catch her breath. She put the back of her hand against her cheek and felt that it wasn't hot anymore. After resting for a minute, she continued on her way, walking easily this time around.

On the side of the road was a dark blue car with its windows rolled up.

They had agreed to keep their relationship under wraps, so that was why Leon couldn't pick her up at her house.

A smile appeared on his face when he saw Michelle drawing closer. She was a little different today. There was a certain liveliness to her as she walked towards the car. When she got in and sat beside him, he noticed that she was wearing makeup.

His eyes sparkled as he looked at the beautiful woman beside him.

Now, she looked more mature and provocative. The shades of her makeup highlighted the angular features of her face. Leon found her pink lips inviting, and he wanted to taste them.

'She must have dressed up especially for me. That's quite adorable, ' he thought.

Although the makeup made her appear more mature, she still looked like an obedient child as she fastened her seat belt and sat upright.

Leon reached out and put his hand on her head. "Good morning, Michelle. Did you sleep well last night?" he asked with a smile.

"Yeah. It was alright," Michelle replied promptly.

"Well, it's good that you were able to get some sleep. On the other hand, I didn't sleep at all. I missed you so much that I couldn't fall asleep even if I tried. Did you miss me?" Leon asked her frankly.

The question was so straightforward that it caught her off guard. She didn't know how to react.

'Leon was not like this before!

It's as if I'm talking to a totally different person. When did he become so sure of himself?' she wondered.

Seeing her reaction, Leon raised one eyebrow. "It seems that you didn't miss me, Michelle," he said, pretending to be sad.

"But I did!" When she saw how unhappy he looked, Michelle told him the truth right away. "I missed you. I really did." Since she was a bit shy, she lowered her head and could not look at him as she spoke.

"Really? But I don't believe it," Leon teased.

"It's true, I swear." A little anxious, Michelle raised her head and peeked at him. His amber eyes were so charming.

On the one hand, Michelle wanted to just stare right into the depths of his eyes. However, part of her also wanted to wake herself up from his spell. When she was about to look away, Leon's hand pinched her chin.

"If you kiss me, I will believe you." With a faint grin, Leon kept her facing him.

When she heard the request, Michelle's face turned red like a tomato. "Leon, you weren't like this before! What are you even saying?" she said indignantly.

'How did this guy become so bold?

Why won't he believe me unless I kiss him?' she thought to herself.

She shuffled about, trying to get his hand off her chin.

Of course, a delicate girl like Michelle wouldn't be able to shake away Leon's grip. After all, he worked out regularly. He wanted her to kiss him out of her own free will.

Knowing that she couldn't get rid of him, Michelle stopped and repeated, "Leon, you weren't like this before."

"I can't help but be like this when I'm with you. So, are you going to kiss me or not? If you won't, I will bite you." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

He drew close and blew to Michelle's ear. "I will bite you like I did last night."

Trembling, Michelle hastily kissed him on the cheek.

The kiss was over so fast that it left him wanting for more. His desire for more made him act more boldly.

Turning Michelle's face to his, Leon said, "No. I want you to kiss here." He then pointed to his lips.

Michelle was so shy that she almost cried. She called out his name in a low voice, hoping that he would let her go.

Ignoring her pleas, Leon continued teasing her, "If you don't kiss me, I'll bite you. You'll see."

"Okay! Fine!" Her face red with embarrassment, Michelle glared at him. She looked very adorable when she was mad, and it made Leon crave for her even more.

With her eyes closed, she clenched her fists tightly and kissed him on the corner of his mouth.

At the right moment, Leon tilted his head slightly so that her kiss landed on the middle of his lips.

Once again, her heart beat wildly inside her chest. It was just like when she kissed him secretly. She could only maintain the kiss for a second before pulling back. Lowering her head afterward, she sat motionlessly and did not speak a word.

Leon reached out his thumb and wiped his lips. He could still feel the warmth left by Michelle's kiss.

Beaming, he said to her, "This is the first time you've ever kissed me."

"No, it's not," Michelle answered in a low voice.

There were just the two of them in the car. The windows were rolled up, keeping the sounds of the outside world from entering. All they could hear was each other's breathing. "No? Kissing on the cheek doesn't count," he said.

Michelle wanted to keep it a secret that she had secretly kissed him. She simply agreed with him so they could change the topic. "Okay," she answered with a nod.

"Leon, when you went to Nini's apartment yesterday, you must've noticed that your sheets were missing. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take them with me."

"I know." Hugging her tightly in his arms, Leon was in a lively mood. "I know you took them, and that's okay. To be honest, I'm glad that you did. At least you had a part of me with you when you were abroad."

"Leon, don't you think I'm a freak?" Carefully, Michelle raised her head from his embrace. As soon as she had raised her head a little bit, Leon gently brought her back in his arms.

He was afraid that he would lose control and have sex with her right now when he saw her face.

Every night, Michelle slept on his sheets. For Leon, this was almost no different from her sleeping in his bed.

The thought of it excited him.

He quietly took a deep breath. "I'm more of a freak than you."

"No, you're not," Michelle replied in a serious tone.

"Really, I am." He hugged her tighter. "I like it when you call me Leon."

A bit confused, she asked, "What?"

Leon chuckled and said, "I don't mean normal times. I mean I like you call my name at certain times."

When Michelle heard what he said, she felt even more confused.
