Chapter 101: First Kiss (1)
Leon, who now focused on driving, glanced at her slightly, "Sure. You can invite them. But, today I will be busy with my task. I have worked out of town and will be back at dinner. I can’t accompany you, is it okay if I’m not at home?" Leon said in a regretful tone.
Actually, he wanted to accompany her to have tea time with her friends, but there was a new case happening in Gold Town and he had to go there to look at the crime scene.
Allynna smiles at him before saying, "Even though I wish you were here with me. But, I can understand that your job is more important. So, it’s ok. Next time we can get together again with them. And Leon, maybe you can also invite your friend to join us." Allynna said.
She really wanted to know all his best friends. She hears he has two best friends; Xavier and Darren.
She never met Darren in person. As for Xavier, it’s been a week since meeting him. He has been texting her occasionally. The first time receiving a short text from Xavier made her uncomfortable. That time, she immediately told Leon. She didn’t want Leon to misunderstand her.
But Leon’s reaction confused her. She thought Leon would get angry and block Xavier’s number but his reaction was different from what she expected. Leon told her, no need to hesitate to Xavier and he allowed her to communicate with Xavier as usual.
At first, she was uncomfortable, but after a while, she became used to it. Because Leon said several times to her, he already thought Xavier was his own brother. And if needed, Xavier could protect her if one day he was not around. So naturally, she started to accept Xavier’s presence and started to treat him like an older brother.
It was nice to have a brother who could protect her when she needed it. She feels blessed to know new people she met in the capital. They all accept her with warm hands and hearts.
"Yes, that’s a good idea, Allynna. We will arrange another gathering later. This noon, enjoy your time with your friend. And you have to remember, don’t go anywhere without Ikaris by your side." Leon said. He was worried something would happen to her on campus.
