The Gun In My Hand's

Chapters 33. It's Like De Javu

Armstrong's Mension, Newcastle (Tyle and Wear), UK - 11.15 pm.

"Are you okay? I'm not forcing you to drink. You're too excited, Princess."

"No. no. You underestimate me, Leon. My mind is still clear. You want to come in for a second?"

Although my head is actually a bit painful, but this has often happened if I drink wine too often.

"I guess not. You need a break after our lovely dinner, and don't forget you're drinking too much."

"All right, I'm going in. Promise me not to go anywhere after this. I don't want to get you hanging around with another woman."

"Haha! Of course I wouldn't do that, Princess." Leon kissed my lips before ending our meeting.

When I entered the Mension, I still felt the happiness of having a romantic dinner with Leon. Some nights I always go through dinner with Leon which even makes Mom and Dad angry. But I really enjoyed my days with Leon.

When I entered my room, I immediately laid myself lazily into the bed. Sleepiness slowly approached me as it long stared at the ceiling of the room. But out of nowhere my readiness woke up and so did my body.

"Wait a minute, what date is this?" I asked myself. Soon I took my phone and checked the date today. My eyes widened as I clearly saw the numbers.

June, 15th.

"Am I crazy?! I forgot about it." Again, I asked myself.

The clock indicates it will be in the middle of the night and it is already very late. I finally snuck out of the room, passing several times with my waiter and bodyguard. I just wanted to breathe fresh air because I drank too much.

I came to the car parked on the side of the Missions. Just as I got into it, suddenly a bodyguard got into the car and sat on the steering wheel. I whispered to him who didn't seem to realize I was in the passenger seat.

"Hey, where are you going?"

He who had just realized was finally surprised and suddenly rewinded his body to hit the door.

"Miss! What are you doing here?"

"Shuuu! Shut up, don't be noisy."

He who was still shocked rubbed his chest, it seemed like he could not believe me beside him.

"Miss, I was so shocked. You suddenly.ahem forgive me, Miss. So what do you need?" He tried to behave normally and forgot his surprise earlier.

"You're going out? I need you to take me somewhere but please don't tell anyone. I don't want to be caught by Mom and Dad."

"Miss, but－"

"I won't be long, I just don't want to make a scene because it's late. Please."

I'm a little lighthearted, which I shouldn't have to do. I can command it enough and force it a little, maybe he'll follow my will.

"Alright, Miss. Sorry in advance, can you move to the rear passenger seat so no one is suspicious."

I didn't answer and moved to the back without getting out of the car. I saw the bodyguard looking a little worried from the look on his face. As the car walked on the mension grounds, I lowered my body so that no one would see.

Before going out, we stopped a few times because it is usually like that, for the sake of security, so the minister must know who is in and out. Fortunately, because what came out was a regular bodyguard car so what they did was greet without any checks.

As we exited the mension grounds, I was finally able to calm down. To reduce the awkwardness, I asked the bodyguard a little question, "So who am I talking to?"

He who was surprised at my question finally cleared his throat and replied, "Ehem, my name is Logan."

I just nodded that she couldn't see, "You guys changed shifts last night?"

"Aa, yes Miss. We do it every 12 hours. And... Ahem, where should I take you, Miss?"

"Just walk up to the Refueling, once I'm out of this area I'll tell you." I was just lazy to tell him, maybe I'll go alone later. I wanted to give Leon a surprise of my own without anyone knowing. I'm sorry Logan had to leave you.

A few minutes passed until we finally got to the Fuel Charge and it coincided with Logan wanting to refuel the car. It made it easier for me to go alone in a taxi while he waited for his car's fuel to fill up.

Yeah, this is my first time, it's pretty stressful. It made me smile at myself because it was so silly. Will Leon be surprised? I chuckled to myself on the passenger bench so that made this taxi driver a bit surprised.

I also did not forget to turn off my phone so that Leon was more curious. I had sent him a photo when I came out of the Missions area. I'll surprise her, unfortunately I don't have enough time to prepare a present for her.

You stupid Elisha! How can you not remember today? Besides, Leon's been taking me to dinner for a few nights so I don't remember anything that tonight was very important to him.

My disappointment was over when the taxi car made it to the gate of Zach's residence. We were questioned by the Zach palace security team who were very creepy. At first he snapped at the taxi driver, but it stopped when he saw me cutting through their argument by saying hello.

Zach's security team was quite surprised. He wanted to talk to his friend who was in his small office through HT, but I immediately prevented him.

"Can you not contact anyone. I'll give Leon a surprise."

"But Miss, Mr. Zachary must know if you visit him."

"No. no. No... I'll just meet Leon for a while, I won't bother Zach, then let me in right away."

He thought for a moment, the portal in front of us had not intended to be opened at all. A moment later he said, "I still can't be sure this driver sir won't interfere with the security of this palace, Miss. I'll go in with you, please wait a minute."

I just breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed like he was telling his friend inside there to shut up with my arrival. When he came back to this car, he told the taxi driver to move to the passenger seat. I thought it was just him, but his friend came along and sat down next to me.

Wow this is much tighter than my Missions.

I just kept quiet, I didn't want to make Zach's people angry. This car drove slowly and several times passed through several guard posts. Looks normal and smooth.

Finally we arrived right in front of the main mension staircase of this palace. The main door that was large and high up there was still tightly shut. Zach's security team took me down and allowed me to come down and get in. After I finished paying over the taxi service, I apologize to the two Zach guys who helped me get safely inside here.

I then entered this Mension. Just now I opened the door that there should normally be a creepy Zach bodyguard standing in the way. But this time there was no one, as I closed the door, a familiar voice boomed to my ears. My heart felt like it wanted to be dislodged so shocked.

Leon's Voice.

A gloomy atmosphere emerged from this space where I saw Leon and Zach who looked very angry with my presence. I dare not even approach them. But my silence even made Leon upset, the same thing that happened when Leon was angry was dragging and yelling at me. But this time the difference was that I was well aware of what I was doing, but I didn't expect it to make them angry.

I don't think long of the noise I've made. Only one thought in my brain before doing this, I forgot today should be a beautiful day for Leon. But I let him down and even made a noise. I didn't even dare to defend myself, all I could do was cry and lament my stupidity.

...***...

Parker’s Palace, Waltham Forest (Greater London), UK - 08.17 am.

"Elisha... Elsa... Hey, are you okay?"

I faintly heard a light sound like a whisper, my body even felt forced to come to my senses from my sleep with a slight feeling of my arms being shaken.

Slowly I tried to open my eyes and replied lazily, "Hmm, yes."

When I opened my eyes, in front of me was already plastered Leon's face a little panicked, I guess. When our gaze met, he immediately hugged me.

"Ah, thank goodness. I thought you weren't gonna wake up." He stopped hugging me and raised his face again, "You're not getting up, I thought you fainted."

I smiled at the reason until I said, "Yes, I'm sorry. I thought I was sleeping well."

Leon scrunched his forehead, "Elisa, you don't have to apologize for that."

I didn't answer anything afterwards. But we entered into a mood. When my brain went back to memory last night, it didn't feel right to be happy this morning with Leon beside me.

"Elisa, why are you moody?"

Hearing Leon's question, I decided to get out of my sleep and sit down. I hugged Leon tightly and said, "Leon, I'm sorry for last night's commotion. I really don't want to make everyone panic, I just want－"

"That's it, it doesn't matter, Elisha." He rubbed my back gently and continued, "I never celebrated, Elisha. I can't even remember the last time I celebrated. Every time you spend time with me is very special, Elisha."

Hearing what Leon said made me curse myself. Slowly my sobbing was unstoppable, my feelings mixed. I saw that side of Leon. Behind his temperament and rude attitude, he is still a man who loves me for who I am. A man who is even more concerned with me than he is.

Hearing my sobbing, Leon immediately stopped hugging me and immediately looked at my teary face. "Elisa, what's going on? Why are you crying, geez I'm sorry?" Leon wiped my tears gently.

I am so ashamed to admit to this feeling of selflessness. Every incident that happened with Leon that drained my emotions made me love him even more. The feeling grew so much that I didn't want to question it.

Look at this, what he's doing. He apologized for what happened to me, with this cry that even he himself did not know what caused it.

With a sobbing I said, "You don't know... Why are you.. apologize?"

Leon still continues to wipe my tears that won't even stop. "I don't want you to cry anymore, Elisha. Enough all night yesterday you cried and it made me sad too."

Leon kissed my lips quickly and pressed my forehead against his forehead. His broad arms were embracing my slowly calm body. Leon's words this morning touched me deeply and scared me. I'm afraid I'll lose Leon one day.

Is this what Leon feels about me?

Is this what makes it so frustrating not to know about my situation?

Is this what makes Leon lose control when it comes to me?

Yeah, and I feel the same fear.

As calmness took hold of my body, I ventured to look at Leon's face. I rubbed the side of his face. Worry still covers him, I know it from the look on his face.

I kissed Leon's lips before saying, "Leon, I love you so much."

After that I kissed Leon's lips back and I did it very consciously. I really don't want to waste a good moment with him. And I don't think he wants to lose the same moment.

Leon welcomed my kiss, he embraced and tightened his body. I felt Leon's hand grab my nape and he deepened our kiss. A kiss I can't possibly forget.

The kiss I had gotten from the first time he had done it by force. A kiss that has become opium even though it starts from my regrets. The kiss I'll keep on remembering even the swearing I thought of when he first did it. And a kiss that was exciting when we needed each other.

I feel like Leon's getting greedy, and I don't have a problem with that. We enjoyed each other's kisses until I felt my head was dizzy. Leon's tongue explored what he could do while we were still in contact. I couldn't even resist the shameless groan of being tempted because of Leon's skill.

But it did not last long when we both heard a very strong knock on the door. I don't think it's a knock, but a punch.

When we stopped this kiss, we were still staring at each other until Leon cut off our eye contact. He switched to the source of the voice and the same thing I did. We saw at the end there was Zach. Yes he seemed to hit this door with his hands, his annoyed face he could not hide.

"Do you know this is like de javu? Don't upset me this morning by seeing what you're doing. Hurry down for breakfast, your Mom and Dad are waiting downstairs."

After saying what he wanted, Zach immediately passed by without closing the door. We were so swept away in the unconscious atmosphere that the door had been opened. And I'm sure Zach accidentally hit that door so hard once he saw what we were doing.

Oh, my gosh. Zach said, it's like de javu. The first time Leon kissed me was also right when Zach caught us in this room.
