Do You Like Him That Much?
Close to fifteen minutes had gone by since Leonica began her search for her best friend and son altogether. Weaving her way through the crowds, she muttered strings of curses underneath her breath, bashing Angelina for having shown up to ruin her perfectly fine day. "Fucking hell, where the fuck are they?" She threw her hands up in the air, having had enough of looking around for one grown adult and a child, like some lost service dog.
"How the fuck could they have even gotten this far?" She questioned herself, about to move on when a small and familiar silhouette walking towards a photo boot caught her attention 'Ashley, there you.'
Raising her hand, she was about to call out to the younger boy through the crowd, but the words instantly died on the tip of her tongue upon seeing the figure lazily trailing behind him. Gabriel.
Sucking her breath in, her body tensed at the sight.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No fucking way.
She tried to shake her head, hoping and praying that her eyes were playing tricks on her, that perhaps, it wasn't who she thought it was, that it was just someone else who had the same silhouette, but no, the figure was indeed Gabriel,
Frozen in her spot, Leonica watched him and Ashely walk into the boot. Gabriel took the small child onto his lap while who she assumed was the owner of the boot, prepared the camera.
Her mind, despite screaming a thousand warning signs at her, went blank and before she could stop herself, her feet were carrying her towards the booth, her legs moving without her knowledge.
Before long, she was in front of the boot, snatching Ashely out of Gabriel's arms and cradling
him close to her chest.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Gabriel who was startled by the sudden action, turned to reprimand-whosoever had harshly pulled the child away, but he stopped the moment his gaze landed on Leonica fuming.
"You...what do you think you're doing?" She challenged, grip tightening around her child. "Did I warn you to stay away from my son and IOr had you suddenly gone deaf?" She fired, words rolling off the tip of her tongue like poisonous acid.
With the tone she had addressed him and all, Gabriel couldn't help but feel offended. And her raging appearance only seemed to irritate him.
Calming himself before he retorted something Ashely was not meant to hear, Gabriel hopped off the picture stool and pocketed his hands.
