"Leon you never tell me the name of the woman you claimed to love" Lola mentioned casually one day after dinner, Mira had been put to sleep and Lola had asked Leon to stay back a little, she had determined to tell him how she really felt for him, she had gathered up her courage but at getting to the point now she realised how difficult it was for her as a woman to confess her lover for a man.
To statement Leon only smiled without replying, making things more difficult for Lola without him knowing. Lola took a deep breath which was noticed by Leon he glanced at her and realised how nervous she was, Leon eyes brown raised and a frown form on his face he knew something was up with her but he just couldn't pinpoint what the issue was.
"Is something going on?" Leon asked worriedly, thinking maybe Jimi might have given her a stressful day at work. "Is it work?" He asked again when she didn't replied Instead she covered her face with he palm trying to hide her face from Leon, Leon though she was crying and was almost panicking.
"What is it Miss Lola? talked to me" He asked almost pleading as he kneel in front of her.
Finally Lola took off her hand from her face, and Leon was surprised to find out she wasn't really crying, but her face is still red he thought.
"What is wrong Miss Lola" He asked again.
"Leon. want to tell you something, but it's really embarrassing to say" Lola said finally speaking.
"How so Miss Lola?" Asked Leon. 'Maybe she want to tell me about her past with her ex husband, it must be really embarrassing for her. Isn't that a good thing? It shows she trust me' Leon thought.
"Becaus- it's just embarrassing"
"You can tell me anything Miss Lola " Leon assured her "you can trust me"
"Fine I will tell you, but please don't let whatever I will be saying affect your job as my daughter's nanny cause Mira really likes you"
"I promise it won't " Leon promised
"You do?" Lola asked to be assured.
"Yes I do" Leon said. Lola. took a breath this is really harder than she initially thought it would.
"So the thing is I like you, and not as a friend" Lola started while facing the floor and playing with her fingers in nervousness "I don't know how it start or how it happened, all I know is I like you and this I'm sure of" she finished and slowly looked up expecting to see the angry face of Leon or surprised expression on his face bit she was surprised by what she saw, he was smiling ear to ear he seems really happy.
Lola was surprised didn't he hear what I said, or the news was so shocking for him that he start laughing at her. All this thought runs through Lola's head, and she became really frustrated when Leon won't say anything but keep on smiling.
"Won't you say anything?" She asked frustratedly.
"I...I I don't know what to say" Leon replied still smiling.
"Say anything " Lola said, desperate to hear his thoughts and know what's going through his head.
Leon leaned closer to her and before Lola could guess what he was trying to do he kissed her, surprised by the kiss Lola eyes was wide open during the short kiss.
"Does that says something?" Leon asked still smiling, and Lola nodded in affirmative.
"But, I thought you had someone you love" Lola asked still surprised by the kiss.
"Yes, it's you I was talking about " Leon replied surprising her.
"Why didn't you say anything?"
Leon shrugged "Because I'm just a nanny"
"You are wrong Leon, you are not just a nanny, you are more than that" Lola said, as she leaned over and do the kissing this time.
