*******
Kelvin watch Leon showing affection to Gem.
“Leon… let’s talk” he said and Leon nodded. He kissed her forehead again and whispered to her.
“I’ll be back…”.
Leon walk up to Kelvin.
“Bro what that just now?” he asked looking angry
“What’s what???” Leon asked looking confused.
“I asked you before… do you love her?” he asked.
“And I told you I don’t… I only pity her!” Leon said.
“Pity her by kissing her?” he asked.
“…” Leon was speechless.
“What about Rosemary?” Kelvin asked. “She’s still your fiancée…”, Leon face darkened in and he didn’t speak. “Look Leon even though you’re my friend I won’t stand it if you date another girl”.
“Kelvin… watch your mouth… as long as I know I don’t have a fiancée… she left me two years ago… and am seek and tired of waiting for her… as for me and Gem… stay out of our issue” he said and Kelvin shiver in fear. Leon went back to Gem room. He watch Gem… he small figure was hidden under the thick bed sheet. She was so cute and innocent. His heart flirt in sweetness. He sigh and walk up to her and hold her hands.
“Do I really like you?” he asked. Gem heard him but it was like she was dreaming…
In my dream he was there…
“Do I really like you kitten?” he asked me.
“I don’t know… but Leon I think I like you” I said and he was surprised.
“Kitten… kitten… run… run… they are here… I’ll protect you… run kitten” he yelled.
“No… no Leon… I won’t leave you come with me… Leon I love you… you’re all I have” I said, unknown to me I was saying it out in reality… Leon heard Gem and was stunned… but she was sweating… like she was having a nightmare.
“No… no… Leon… no… don’t go am scared…”
“Gem… Gem walk up am here… Gem…” Leon called and I walk up in fear panting heavily.
“Leon… Leon…” I cried… shaking all over…
He hugged me petting my back and said “Am here… I won’t go anywhere… don’t panic… am here” he said and I hold him tight crying
“Don’t tell me to leave you again… I won’t leave… you can’t get hurt because of me… I won’t lose you too”
Leon break the hug and look at my face.
“Am sorry… I’m… being to emotional again… am sorry” I said but he kept on looking at me. I was nervous “Don’t be angry… I already said sorry… Didn’t I?” I said but he suddenly drew his face close to mine. “What… what are you doing?” I asked.
“Be still… don’t move… I want to make something clear” he said.
“But…”
“Be quiet!!” he said as his lip landed slowly on mine. He kissed me slowly. I was stiff, I didn’t know what to do next. His kiss was slow really slow… before I could react to the kiss he drag back breath heavily.
Leon was surprised with himself…’Kitten… what do I do?, Kelvin was right… I do have feelings for you’ he thought and suddenly his face grew dark.
“Why did you leave the set without me??” he said look mad.
What… is he really going to do this right now?, he just kissed me and all he could do was scold me…?
“Don’t stay quiet” he said.
“You did care anyway… so I left!” I yelled in frustration.
“Oh now you are yelling at me!” he yelled back.
“Yes… and I have every right to yell at you because I am your boss… but you treat me like your pet… and I don’t wanna be your pet” I yelled…”Don’t call me kitten… am not a cat… am not your pet”, I yelled and push the blanket on him.
“Gem… you signed the file so I have every right to do whatever I want with you!!!” he yell. And I grab my phone and walk inside my bathroom.
I made a call and later walk out. He was still standing there. I started packing my stuff. Leon was stunned.
“What do you think you’re doing?” he asked.
“Can’t you see… am playing football…!!!” I yelled.

“I don’t need you anymore!!!, you blame this on me?, you where the one who ran after Jolene and the director like a lost puppy” Leon face darkened no one dare insult him like this, “Go be with them… leave me alone… I’ll find a new bodyguard… who have more potential than you” Leon was really angry, not even his father have dare to insult him this way before.
“How dare you?” he yelled.
“Stay away from me… Mr. Kitten” I said and drag my luggage away.
Ruth drove and carry me.
“Why are you crying?” she asked..
“Don’t want to talk about it” I said…
