Kierra's POV
Once we got to the building, I grabbed all the bags and went with Leo to my apartment. We got out of the elevator and I opened the door, leading us both inside. I went to the kitchen and started unloading the bags, putting all the frozen foods inside the freezer, the drinks and vegetables inside the fridge, and the rest inside the cupboards and on the counters. I told Leo to pick a movie, while I put a bag of popcorn inside the microwave, watching the bag slowly expand, and listening to the popping of the kernels. Once it finished, I poured all the buttery popcorn into a big bowl and walked into the living room, plopping on the couch next to Leo, looking at the TV to see what he picked out. He had picked out a horror movie. Specifically, Annabelle comes home. I sighed. Great, now I'm not going to be able to sleep all night. It's not like I hate horror movies, they're actually really good. Just not Annabelle movies.
"Seriously, Leo? Horror? You know how easily I get scared!" I scolded him. "Ki, don't worry, you can always hide your face in my shoulder." He chuckled, a smirk evident on his face. "Just wait, I won't do that." I challenged him back, knowing what he was doing. But now I see that was probably not the best decision I made. 10 minutes into the movie, I jumped for probably the hundredth time and jumped into his arms. He wrapped his arms around me, and I felt his chest rumble from laughter from under me. I looked up at his face and smiled at the sight. He looked so carefree, but then again, he looks like that all the time I see him. The only thing is, he never looks that happy when I see him on the campus. It's like he has this emotionless front when others are around.
Suddenly, a wave of tiredness came over me, and I got comfortable on top of him. He looked over at me and then switched off the TV. He stood up and I wrapped my legs around his waist, still too tired to comply with anything happening. He walked us to my room and put me under the blankets on my bed. He then got up, probably about to leave, but I got ahold of his hand and looked into his eyes. "Stay here, please?" I pleaded and his jade eyes softened. He softly nodded and got into the right side of the bed with me. Now satisfied, I closed my eyes, only to feel him place his lips softly on my forehead. I smiled and turned around so my back was facing his chest. Not even a minute later, my mind became blank and I fell into the world of sleep.
*A few hours later*
I opened my eyes and immediately shut them again, due to the brightness of the sun coming through the windows. I tried to get up, but failed, and then realized the weight around my stomach. Leo's heavily tattooed arm was draped around it, so I tried to gently wake him up. He opened one eye and mumbled, "Go back to sleep amore." Fuck, his voice sounded so husky. "C'mon Leo, we gotta wake up. We both have math class in an hour, and it's already 3." I told him, whilst shaking him at the same time. "Ugh, fine," he muttered and finally got his hand off me. We both got off the bed, and I wanted to change my outfit, into something nicer. I was in sweatpants, and I didn't want to go like that. I told Leo to give me a minute and went to the bathroom. I changed into a plain black tank top, with a pair of blue ripped jeans. I put on a long white cardigan and wore a pair of my black ankle boots as well. It was a very simple outfit, but it was still good.
I got out of the bathroom, found my bag and stuffed my pencil case and math books inside, and went to the living room. Leo was sitting on the couch, scrolling on his phone. "Ready?" I asked.
"Yup," he replied, getting off the couch, pocketing his phone, and looked at me, his eyes widening. "You look really nice, Ki," he said, with a genuine smile on his face. "Aw, thanks," I replied, smiling. "Ok, let's go." We walked out and I locked the door. We went down and into my car. I got to the driver's side, and we drove to the campus building. I parked the car in one of the free spots, and we both walked side by side to class.
Once we walked in, I realized that the teacher was still yet to come. There were quite a few people though, just lounging around, but all of them turned to look at us when we walked in. I ignored it, and Leo and I went towards the back and chose two empty seats. Since the class hadn't started yet, we just talked about what we could do after class. We agreed to go to a bonfire that was happening at the beach tonight. I texted Lexi and Hayley if they wanted to come along, and they said yes because apparently, they had nothing to do. Leo said two of his friends were coming along as well, so it was going to be fun. At that moment, the teacher came and started teaching us some formulas and all that other nonsense.
*Time Skip to before the bonfire*
We were at my apartment now. Leo and his friends Lorenzo and Antonio were in the living room watching a football match on the TV. Lexi and Hayley were with me in my room, looking for clothes to wear, while I was waiting for them to stop their unnecessary panicking. Finally, after 15 minutes of them ransacking my closets, they were content with the outfits they chose. I had already chosen a baby blue colored two-piece, with a floral cover-up. Hayley chose a black-colored one-piece with a triangle shape cut out in the middle, with a pink cover-up, while Lexi chose a pale yellow colored one-piece with thin straps and white flowers on it, along with a white cover-up. We all wore some sandals and walked to the living room.
Once the boys heard us, they all turned around, and they were speechless, to say the least. Their jaws had dropped, and it was hilarious, and Antonio wolf-whistled. "Well, don't you three look hot." The three of us smiled shyly. "Well, shall we go then?" I asked them and all five of them agreed. We walked down and the girls and I got into my car, while the boys got into Leo's black Ferrari. We drove to the beach and both parked our cars.
