Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 487

At the airport, Heather was waiting patiently for Leon. From time to time, people would let their gazes linger on her for an extra few seconds. She had a great figure and she easily stood out despite standing in a crowd.

When Leon strutted out from the VIP tunnel of the airport, he spotted her immediately. From afar, he waved at her energetically.

“Heather,” he called out. Meanwhile, she smiled at the sight of him.

“Come here,” she said succinctly as she waved back at him.

As he had long legs, it didn’t take him much time before he was standing right in front of her. He was smiling from eye to eye and he looked so warm and welcoming.

“Heather, you’re the most attractive person among the crowd. You totally outshine all the other women.” With that, he opened his arms wide, attempting to give her a hug.

However, she was quick to avoid it. Scrutinizing him, she immediately had him stand there without trying anything funny. It took one gaze from her to stop him from being hyperactive. Initially, he even tried to pat her head but he retreated after getting a glare from her.

Whenever Leon was with her, he had to be on his best behavior. That was why he didn’t dare to do anything that would seem intimate to her. Heather was never a fan of intimate actions, and Myra was the person that she was the most intimate with.

“Stop being so glib.” She pinched the bridge of her nose as she reprimanded him. Leon was truly a hyperactive person, and sometimes she wished that he was more mature.

Nonetheless, there was enough maturity in Heather to cover for them both, while Leon would be the friendly and active one among them two. Though they complemented each other, she would sometimes feel that he was too hyperactive.

Right now, it was one of those times. He was blabbering nonstop in her ears, and she could only look at him in displeasure as they were attracting gazes from other people nearby.

He talked about his ventures in Italy en route, and she would acknowledge him once in a while. He seemed to be very excited as if he was a horse that got off restraints. How did he become so talkative after not seeing him for some time?

When they arrived at Heather’s new apartment, Leon finally stopped talking about Italy only to start talking about Bradfort City.

It was almost impressive how he could just go on and on. He was also very curious about Bradfort City as he thought that this city was full of cultures and stories.

Obviously, he didn’t bother to mask his liking toward the city. Meanwhile, she didn’t have much of a special feeling or thought about the city. Despite the fact that she had grown up here, there was a very long period of time that she hated this city.

“Leon, can you be more quiet?” she commented as she passed the apartment’s keys to him.

She had the urge to just dump him by the roadside as she began to regret having brought him back. He was too excited and he could use some time to calm down.

“Heather, that’s very hurtful. I’m just very happy to see you, so I can’t suppress my happiness.” He gave her puppy eyes while he pouted.

At once, she rolled her eyes at him. Leon’s tricks didn’t work on her as she was immune to his looks.

“Don’t give me the pitiful look. I’m not your ex.” She simply brushed him off, disregarding his googly eyes.

“Heather, do you really not feel attracted to me at all?” He continued to show her his pitiful, adorable look. She was quick to stand further away from him as she had foreseen that he would even tug on her sleeve.

“Yes,” she said straightforwardly.

Leon kept his pitiful look and looked her up and down. “Heather, are you not attracted to men?” He then gave her a suggestive look as he said in a playful manner.

“Yes, I like women,” she said helplessly. Leon was truly a headache sometimes.

“I knew it! Is the person you like the person you always mention? Myra, right?” he exclaimed, thinking that he was clever.

She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his reaction. “Great imagination.” She didn’t expect that he would take her joke seriously. She would totally surrender to him already.

“That must be it. You must have secretly cried when she got married a few days ago.” He said it like he had seen it with his own eyes.

Upon hearing that, she sent a slap to his head. “Your brain is short-circuiting. I don’t understand you.”

Seeing her dark face, Leon no longer continued to fool around. It seemed that her best friend was off-limits for joking. The look in Heather’s eyes told him that she wanted to end him then and there, and he was beginning to get scared.

“Heather, I’m hungry.” He finally stopped joking around.

“I’ll bring you to get some good food.” She no longer seemed as tense when she said that. Leon wasn’t always like this with everyone. In fact, he only acted this way whenever he was with her—he would only stop when she was about to get mad.

“Okay. You’re the best!” He beamed at once as he began to charm his way out.

“What do you feel like eating?” She wouldn’t really get mad at him. In fact, she was already smiling at him now. She was really lenient when it came to Leon.

“Solarian cuisine! Now that I’m in Solaria, I must try authentic Solarian food.” Excitement was evident in his voice. He seemed to find a lot of things exciting, and it was a trait that Heather was jealous of.
