"OMG Jul you want me to come to meet your boyfriend. Seriously how long you guys have been official." I asked.

"We have been hanging around for like 2 months and last night we decided to make it official." She said.

"Please come I want you to meet him," Jul said.

"Ok ok but if I feel like this guy is bad news you will listen to me this time," I said with a strict voice or maybe trying one.

"Done we've already met his best friends only you are left." She said nonchalantly.

"Last night you did officially when did you meet his friends?" I asked.

"Breakfast at Carl's." She said.

"Now for lunch at Carl's?" I asked.

"Please you are making us late, he is already waiting for us," Jul said while dragging me to the car.

I sat in the passenger seat and Jul started to drive my car. "At least tell me his name," I asked.

"You are gonna meet him in a few minutes. Have patience." She said while smirking.

Oh holy mother of Jesus Christ this girl is up to something.

We reached Carl's. As we entered the cafe I saw a familiar back of the head. Surprisingly we were moving towards the table.

"Hey babe Sav is here," Jul said which made the mysterious guy turn.

"CONNOR!!!" I yelled.

"Hey, beautiful." He said and smirked.

"When did this start?" I asked while pointing the air in between them.

"Ah, that day when she came to check Vanessa." He said.

Of course, why wouldn't they?

"Leo was here for the breakfast?" I asked.

" yes, he was," Jul said.

Leo didn't tell me, he is so dead.

We all sat and started to order for the lunch.

"So how's work treating you," Connor asked. Which made me surprised because Connor never talk about working with me.

He likes to talk about other stuff like boys, girls and sometimes maybe both together. But he is straight.

"Good actually," I said while still contemplating the chances of Connor and Jul dating.

Don't get me wrong I want Jul to be happy but the Clyde situation always comes in my head. I won't like her to do the same mistake and then cry to me on the phone.

Jul sensed my overthinking, she always does.

"I know Sav you are worried because of what happened with Clyde and me, but Connor is different, he may sometimes look carefree or careless but he is genuine at heart. He cares for me, he listens to me and most importantly he understands me. I need you to accept us happily. You mean a lot to me Sav."Jul said.

It made my eyes tear, I know Connor, he like Jul and I can see it, in the way he looks at her, he is so gentle with her which I never saw Clyde be the one.

He was always a gold digger and a very passive-aggressive guy but the best thing about Clyde was he was a sneaky little bitch who was able to hide his affairs for 2 years and was good with computers.

"Fine, you both have my blessing, welcome Connor." I smiled and said.

Connor happily nodded and we all did cheers with our lemonade.

We all sat and have our lunch together and then I left for the hospital and Jul stayed with Connor.

While driving to the hospital my phone rang and it was Leo.

"Hey Savanah I am outside your hospital wanna grab a bite," Leo asked.

"Let me come," I said while driving. And hung up the phone.

I soon reached the hospital and went to meet Leo. I saw Leo talking to a man who was the same as Leo's height and Dr Nolic talking with them.

As I reached the stop with three men talking Leo saw me first and gave a big smile. And I returned it too.

Dr Nolic noticed me, "Here you are Savanah, I want you to meet Cole." He said.

Cole is in his son oh my God. The mystery men turned around and I swear and I am very sorry to say that but he doesn't look like his father at all.

Dr Nolic is well bald with blue eyes and a very chubby figure almost like a koala bear. But his son is nothing like him his face screams power and I don't like his vibe.

He has sharp amber eyes with a little subtle beard. He has a very well built body like he is some big gym guy and has light brown locks.

"Nice to meet you Dr Nolic," I said.

Cole gave me a devilish smile, held my hand and gave a small kiss on my knuckles.

"Pleasure is all mine, Dr Savanah." He said. I could feel his Saliva on my hands.

I withdraw my hand from his hold and kept it behind my back to rub it with my scrubs to remove his saliva.

I could see Leo's whole body going stiff. His haw was clenched and his shoulders were tight.

"So Dr Savanah what are you doing here," Cole asked.

"Oh I was here with Leo, we were going to get lunch," I said.

I could see the disappointment on Cole's face and relaxation on Leo's face.

"We should hang out sometime Dr Savanah," Cole asked.

I don't wanna hang out with him, but not to be rude in front of Dr Nolic I said Yes.

Dr Nolic and Cole took leave to show Cole around the hospital. Leo was still not talking to me as we both sat at the table to order.

I only ordered a juice as I already had my lunch with Jul and Connor and Leo order a spicy tuna roll with a lemonade.

"Leo," I called but he didn't answer.

"Leo what happene.... " before I could continue, he cut me.

"Are you gonna go hang out with him, alone," Leo asked with pleading eyes.

"No Leo but I can't say bluntly to him no stay away," I said mimicking a deep voice that made Leo smile.

"How do you know Cole?" I asked.

"Dr Nolic and my father were good friends and Cole was in middle school with me.." He said.

"Maya and you were also in the same school," I asked Leo.

"Yes high school." he gritted and started eating his tuna roll without looking at me.

I kept my hand on his hand and start to rub small circles with my thumb on his hand like he used to do to me. He took a heavy sigh out.

"Relax your jaw," I said.

"Pardon."

"Leo relax your jaw your holy body is stiff," I said.

Leo unclenched his jaw and looked straight into my eyes. His stares are always intense like they are trying to read me but are not able to succeed.

"Now relax your shoulders," I said while still rubbing his hand.

Leo relaxed his shoulders and my lips curved upwards.

Here you go, big boy.

As I stopped rubbing my thumb on his hand Leo placed my hand again on his hand, " please don't stop." He said like a child asking for one more cookie.

"I didn't like the way he looked at you," Leo said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"He was looking at you with dirty eyes, I know you understand what I mean." Leo said.

I know what he meant because I felt the same when he gave me that smile it made me feel naked in front of him even wearing scrubs that covered every inch of my body.

"It's okay Leo, we can't tell people not to look at us but we can distance ourselves from people who make us uncomfortable." I said.

Leo smiled at me and took a wet napkin from the table and began to clean my knuckles where Cole kissed. I looked at Leo but he was too busy cleaning my knuckles.

I don't think Leo is my friend anymore, he is becoming more than that and I am liking it.

We both together left the restaurant. "You knew about Connor and Jul?" I asked.

"Yes, I met them in the morning for breakfast." He said

I didn't wanna ask him but I couldn't stop myself from asking it.

"Leo is Connor good?" I asked. Leo looked at me like I might have a second head, but he spoke.

"Trust me, Savanah, he is a good one I know he sometimes may seem as childish but he is also the brain one. He won't ever hurt Jul and I won't let him." Leo said.

"He better not because I will kick his ass," I said and Leo chuckled.

"Oh, I know you will."

Leo and I walked back to his car, before leaving I hugged Leo and Leo kissed me on my forehead.

He is been doing this thing ever since the ball night, I didn't stop because I never mind it. Plus I like how it makes me feel all jelly and sensitive, and every time he does this my cheeks goes beet red.

Leo pulled away from the kiss and looked at my face." you are cute." I did my best to make a straight face. Seeing my failure in making a good poker face Leo laughed.

Leo's laugh is like a heavy gush of the cold breeze hitting your face and making you feel all refreshed.

"You are also cute when angry," I said and Leo's eyebrows were scrunched up.

"I am not cute," Leo whined like a child.

"Yup whatever makes you sleep at night," I said and started to cross the road to my hospital.

I turned to see Leo still in his car looking at me with a glare it made me confused but as I turned I saw Dr Williams standing at the door and shooting daggers at me and Leo.

Soon Leo left and Dr Williams's gaze was now on me, I moved past him but I could still feel his gaze on my back.

Oh God, please help me and make this man stay away from me.
