After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant (Leonica and Gabriel) novel Chapter 128

“Yeah, no problem. You want me to walk you to your door? 

Leonica’s eyes narrowed at his question and she chuckled. “I’m not a woman who can’t handle herself, Owen:” 

He raised his hands in defense, a soft laugh leaving his lips. “I didn’t mean it like that.” 

“Uh–huh, sure “She hummed, the smile still not leaving her lips as she opened the door. 

But despite her initial words, Owen was out of his car and beside her in second, walking her to her door. 

“Well, here’s my door.” She stated, turning around and leaning against the door. 

“Hmm, that’s right.” Owen answered and stepped closer. ” 

“So…” 

“So.” Leonica mimicked, feeling heat creep to her cheeks once she took notice of their body proximity. 

Owen bit the inside of his jaw, the anticipation killing him slowly. 

He was nervous, and he had every right to be. 

He didn’t know if Leonica was ready for a kiss, and if she was, was he? 

Yes, he was, he’d been wanting to kiss her ever since the moment he saw her dressed in that yellow gown. 

He could smell her intoxicating scent, could see the sparkle in her eyes and her blush, but still, he hesitated. 

“I’m not 

sure if this is the right moment, or if I’ll regret it, but fuck this is killing me. 

He breathed, the rest of his words were mumbled, the sentence barely reaching Leonica’s ears. 

“What is?” Leonica asked, the blush on her cheek turning from pink to bright red when Owen stepped closer. 

He said, cupping her face and gently pulling her into a kiss, a kiss that started out hesitant, but quickly evolved to something more passionate and needy, and much to his surprise the kiss was reciprocated. 

It started out hesitantly her movement stalled by surprise, but as things went on, Leonica hooked her fingers on his waistcoat, unconsciously pulling him closer as if her body demanded it. 

The taste of the cotton candy was still on their tongues, mixing and intertwining, as the kiss deepened. 

His arms moved, slipping around her waist and holding her close, feeling the warmth of her body, the silkiness of her dress and the softness of her lips. 

Leonica felt like she was drowning, her head light as a feather and her heart racing like a wild horse. 

She felt breathless, unable to think and the only thing running through her mind was Owen, 

For the first time in a long while, the only thing she could think of was a man, who she suddenly felt the need to be with. 

When they both broke the kiss, Leonica’s hand slipped down from his waist coat, resting against his chest as they both stared at each other. 

“I guess this is where we say goodnight.” Owen whispered, the sound barely above a whisper. 

“Hmm.” Leonica hummed, licking her lips as they still tingles from the kiss. 

“Then, goodnight, Leo.” He said, giving her one last quick kiss on the lips, before he backed away. 

“Goodnight, Owen.” She replied, waving him off before disappearing behind the door. 

She pressed her back against the door, her knees feeling like jelly and her heart thumping against her chest. 

Did that really just happen? 

Did he really just loss her and she enjoyed it?! 

Her finger touched her lips, the memory of their kiss fresh on her mind and a small smile formed. 

“Fuck.” 

“Puck indeed!” Anastasia’s sudden voice made Leonica flinch, her skeleton nearly leaving her skin. 

“Jesus Christ, Anastasia! You scared the hell out of me.” Leonica whispered, clutching her chest and staring wide eyed at her friend. 

“Yeah, but not as scared as you would be if you saw what I just saw.” Leonica’s fright was quickly replaced with embarrassment and her cheeks once again burned. 

“Oh my God, Anastasia.” She whispered, covering her face with her hands and sliding down to the floor. 

Anastasia crouched down beside her, a smile on her lips. “So, how was the kiss? Was it magical, breathtaking? Did you see fireworks?” Leonica’s response was to groan, her body falling over and landing on her side. 

“Okay, okay.” Anastasia chuckled, helping her up. “I won’t pester you. But I’m so glad the date went well.” 

Leonica smiled. “Yeah, where’s Ashley?” 

“Knocked out.” She said and Leonica smiled. “I’m so happy for you, Leo.” She pulled her friend into a hug. “So, happy.” 

“Thank you.” Leonica responded, squeezing her friend tighter.. 

“But remember, I’m your best friend and as such, I deserve a full recount of everything that happened. Every detail.” 

Leonica laughed, pushing her off. “We’ll talk tomorrow. I’m exhausted, and my feet hurt.” 

Anastasia nodded and let her go, grabbing a few of her things before bidding her friend goodbye. Leonica waved her off with a smile on her lips. 

But as soon as she was gone. 

gone, the smile faded. 

She was happy, ecstatic even, but that was the thing. Each time it seemed like she was content with life, fate always deals her a high card and right now, amidst the feeling of bliss roaming her stomach, a nagging feeling was making it’s home. 

And no matter how much she tried to shake it, it was still there. 

“I hope whatever I’m feeling is wrong”
