✿ CHAPTER 40! ✿
LEONARD'S POV
"Get off me Amelia," I said as my hands gripped her waist.
"No" she leaned closer.
My grip on her waist tightened.
"Amelia stop this-"
"I said no!".
"DON'T you get it, I don't wanna go home" She leaned closer like she was about to kiss me again...I felt my heart flutter, to taste those lips again was what was on my mind....I had to-
"Ugh," she collapsed on me.
I was taken aback.
"Amelia, are you asleep?".
"Hmm," she murmured as she snuggled up to my chest, seeking warmth.
"Damn it" I cursed under my breath...did she just tease me like that?.
The next minute she was about to kiss me, then what?
A few minutes later "Boss, we're here," My chauffeur said as he arrived at the gate of Amelia's house.
"Amelia, wake up...we've arrived" I looked down at the 'little kitten' that was clinging to me like her life depended on me.
I chuckled softly when I saw this.
My chauffeur cleared his throat as he looked at us through the rearview mirror while driving into the compound.
"Sir, how do we get her down?".
I looked out the window as I saw the brightly lit mansion...it was clear that no one had fallen asleep yet.
"I'll take her out," I said as I opened the car door carrying Amelia in my arms.
"Sir, are you sure? I can help you carry-"
I glared at him.
"Sorry sir" he looked away immediately.
"Hmmm," Amelia whined as she tightened her legs around my waist and her arms on my neck.
"Do you want to strangle me, Amelia?" I sighed as I began walking towards the house, my hands wrapped around her waist.
She clung to me like a koala...
Then I saw an elderly man walk out of the mansion.
"Young miss?"
"I was asked to drop her off," I said as I walked towards him.
"And who are you?".
"I, am her-"
"Mr. Leonard!" Amelia's mom walked out wearing a nightgown and a face mask on her face.
"Oh! Thank you for bringing Amelia back home!" She hurriedly walked towards us.
"Be careful, she's asleep".
"Come on, she isn't a kid anymore" She tried pulling Amelia away from my arms but Amelia still clung to me.
"Oh!, don't worry I'll get her off you" Her mom smiled awkwardly as she forcefully tried to pull Amelia's arms away.
"Ah! Leave me alone!" her arms tightened more around my neck as she continued sleeping 'PEACEFULLY'.
"I...I can't- breathe" I choked on my words.
"Oh my! Amelia get down already!" She pulled Amelia's arms away from my neck....but it was all to no avail.
"Wait! Let me help!" The elderly man walked towards us.
"Butler Charles!...help me, please!... Amelia is like a mole on his skin!".
The elderly man tried pulling Amelia away but she raised her voice.
"Leave me!!" she bit the man's hand.
"Ah! butler Charles!... Are you okay?!" her mom was horrified.
"That bite hurts!" The elderly man rubbed his hand.
"Amelia doesn't act like this! What happened to her?" her mom asked...
"It's only possible when she's-" The elderly man and Amelia's mom both locked eyes.
"Drunk!" they said at the same time.
I was stunned...how did they just-
"Did she drink?" her mom asked me
"She...uhm-"
"Amelia only does crazy things when she's drunk...." The elderly man said as he looked up at me.
"We have to find a way to get her off...she can't stay that way!" she pointed to Amelia who was now glued to me.
"Let me try," I said as I slowly tried to get her legs off my waist.
"No!" she clung to me tighter.
"Amelia please don't do this now" I rubbed my temples.
My chauffeur hurriedly ran up to us.
"Sir, I told you to let me help you carry her...now she's stuck with you," My chauffeur said anxiously.
"First of all...I can't fucking breathe!".
"Oh my, such vulgar words" The elderly man whispered as he looked at me with a side eye.
"I'm sorry-"
"There's only one way Mr. Leonard," Amelia's mom said as rubbed her Jaw in thinking.
"Madam-"
"That's the only way, okay?" She said to the elderly man
"What are you guys talking about?" I asked as I looked at both of them...
They looked at me with a knowing gaze...I could see the answer In their eyes.
"WHAT?" I was shocked.
