C26 Chapter 26

Three statements? So what did you say to her?"Keller asked

"I said 'I'm sorry'," Mark replied

"Fool Are you that dumb not to know what she meant by three statements?"

"What did you... Oh!" Mark exclaimed, realization dawning on him.

"You get it now," Keller said his eyes rolling

"Of course I do But why does she expect me to say that?"

"Why did you kiss her if you knew you wouldn't say those three words?"

"I did it to k..." Mark started, but Keller cut him off.

"To keep her quiet And you finally kept her quiet by making her fall in love with you,"

"Who let you in to my room?" Frida snapped

"Amy let me in," Alex said

"So what do you want? You've finally destroyed me,"

"Frida, I'm really sorry," Alex started, but Frida cut him off

"Sorry? You're sorry for destroying my image?"

"I don't regret doing that"

Frida glared at him. "So what are you doing here?"

"I know you see me as your sex mate, but I'm in love with you,"

"my middle finger for you" Frida spat

"Frida I know you're hard to change, but I won't give up on you"

"Because I'm carrying your baby but if I had the chance I'd get rid of this thing inside me"

"I know you won't You're a good person. You have a very good heart."

Frida shot him a defiant glare and showed him her middle finger before burying herself under the duvet.

"My baby is back," Leonardo cooed as he attempted to hug Isadora who promptly kicked him away. "Ouch! What was that for?" he cried

"Why on earth didn't you come visit me at the hospital?" Isadora snapped

"I'm sorry I had to sort something out."

"Something more important than me?"

Leonardo bit his lip, his gaze locked with Isadora's eye

"Tell me, did you even love me?"

"Not this again," Leonardo groaned.

"Answer me!"

"Yes, I do"

"Why did you love me?"

"Why do you breathe?"

"I breathe to live,"

"same here"

"But that doesn't answer my question!" Isadora yelled.

"Of course it does I love you to live."he said and carry her

"Hey.don't carry me! I'm still mad at you," Isadora protested.but Leonardo carried her anyway.

"That's exactly why I love you," he whispered, laying her on the bed "You're madly in love with me and I'll make you scream my name telling me not to stop" He leaned closer "I promise not to leave your side"

"Leo..." Isadora murmured

"Under you, on top of you," Leonardo whispered

"You're so naughty," Isadora giggled

"I'll be naughty for you my sweet Dora" Leonardo purred pressing his lips against hers

"I thought you wouldn't come again," Amy teased

"Sorry, I've been busy since last week," Pablo apologized wrapping his arms around her waist as she sat on his lap.

"You can tell me about it Last week was so stressful and crazy."

Pablo nodded. "You and Coco did an amazing job. Thumbs up to you both,"

"Just a thumbs up?" Amy pouted

"What did you expect me to give you?"

"Your d**k inside me," Amy whispered

"Gosh, why are you so naughty?"

"Whatever," Amy murmured, her lips pressing against his. "Destroy everything under me"

"WTF Amyyyy!" a voice shrieked

"I'm doomed," Amy muttered

"Gently stand up and turn to face her," Pablo whispered, his hand grasping Amy's.

Slowly, they rose from the couch and turned to face the furious figure............

"Amy!" Coco shouted

"Gosh, you scared me! I thought it was my mom!" Amy yelped

"Even though what you guys are doing is totally wrong and out of line,"

"Hey, shut up! You're not a saint yourself!"

"Whatever,"

"I'm Pablo, Amy's..." Pablo started to say but Coco cut him off

"Amy's home tutor turned, boyfriend, I know" Coco said, plopping down on the couch

"So what brings you here?"

"I'm not allowed to visit my best friend anymore, huh?" Coco pouted "Just because you have a boyfriend, I can't come by? Check your phone I've called you at least 30 times today!"

"Liar! You called only five times!" Amy retorted, rolling her eyes

"Oh, you saw my calls! Why didn't you pick up?"

"I... uh... what did you want "

"I'm bored!" Coco declared, flopping down onto the couch. "Isadora and Leonardo won't come out of their room."

"I'm actually busy here" Amy quipped wrapping her arms around Pablo in a playful embrace

"Crazy bitch," Coco muttered under her breath as a message popped up on her phone. "Can we talk? I wanna tell you something."

"I've gotta run," Coco said excitement as she dashed out the door

Isadora sat on the couch her eyes red and puffy from crying Leonardo sat down next to her, a worried look on his face.

"Hey, I thought I already apologized Why are you still crying?"

"He died," Isadora whispered

"Who?"

Isadora pointed at the movie playing on the TV. "The villain is dead" she said, her eyes glued to the screen.

"All villains are supposed to die"

"But he had a wife and kids!" Isadora protested, tears streaming down her face. "It's not fair!"

"Dora, it's just a movie,"

"Just a movie, you say How will his wife cope? His kids will never see him again Where will she start from?"

"Dora, that's enough It's just a movie You need to stop crying."

"You're a bad person" Isadora retorted, her eyes filling with fresh tears "You don't have any human feelings You should be crying too!"

Leonardo shook his head in frustration and turned off the TV "Dora, please stop crying"

Isadora raised her head to look at him. "What would you do if we divorced?"

"Must you always ask me this question?"

"Arghhh, you won't even talk about it seriously?"

"Fine, if we get a divorce, I'll just go back to my ex."

"Seriously? You're just going to end it like that? Well, then I guess we are done!"

"Will you marry me?" he blurted out

"Go ask your ex, you jerk!" Isadora spat, jerking her arm away from him. "And you'll never see me or your child again"

Leonardo grabbed her arm and pulled her back "You are my ex!"

Isadora dissolved into tears once more

"Hey, why are you crying now? What's wrong?" Leonardo asked

"I just want to sleep,"

"So that's why you're crying? You can just go into the room and sleep."

"Hey, aren't you going to carry me or pet me to sleep? I told you I want to sleep"

"Alright fine" Leonardo said gently scooping her into his arms and carrying her to the bed.

"Pet me,"

"Alright." Leonardo gently stroked Isadora's hair feeling her body relax into sleep. "Why is she behaving like this?" he murmured

"What did you want to see me for?" Coco asked, avoiding Mike's gaze

"I love you," Mike blurted out his eyes locked on hers.

"Huh?" Coco asked, finally meeting his gaze with him

"You said I should find out the meaning of the three statements, right? So it means, 'I love you,' even if you don't necessarily feel the same way."

"I know you mean it If you didn't mean it, you wouldn't have said it."

"So, that's it? Are we okay now?"

"What do you mean by that Won't you ask me any questions?"

"Question? Oh, you mean the math question..." Mike teased

"Jerk!" Coco scoffed, standing up and storming towards the door

Mark reached out and stopped her "I was just joking. Would you like to go out with me?"

"Do you mean it?"

"If I didn't mean it, I wouldn't be asking,"

"Yes, I will but you must be romantic and naughty. I love my guy being naughty."

Mike bit his lip "You can trust me on that I can even put the cereal first!"

"No, the milk comes first!"

"I can actually put them both at the same time"

"Gosh, you're impossible!" Coco groaned, covering her eyes and shaking her head

Leonardo opened the door and saw Amy and Frida standing there. "She actually begged me to bring her here to see you and Isadora," Amy said

"It's okay I'll just go call Dora," Leonardo said, already turning back towards the bedroom

Leonardo opened the door and saw Isadora sitting on the bed, her legs crossed

"Dora, my sweetheart," he murmured

"Listen, I'm not going down there with you I know Frida is here, and I'm not ready to see her,"

"So, you expect me to tell her to go back?"

"Yes," Isadora replied

"Please, just do this for me"

"Alright, then carry me," Isadora said pouting her lips

"Hey, carry me well. I want to look like a bride, like a queen, to show Frida that you now belong to me"

Leonardo sighed and scooped her into his arms. "Okay, Your Majesty"

As they descended the stairs Isadora sit on his lap

"Dora, can you please sit on the chair?" Leonardo asked

"No, I won't I want to sit on your lap and that is final," Isadora replied stubbornly, cuddling up against him

Amy leaned over and whispered to Coco, "Is she okay?"

"Her brain is touched" Coco whispered back, rolling her eyes.

At that moment, Miss K appeared "Sir, I have set the table," she announced
