19th May- Mexico City
Letty and Leon's apartment
Leon's POV
I stared slightly unfocused at the young woman in front of me, she really had grown up into a beauty. I frowned slightly at my thoughts as I took another drink from my beer; I couldn't go down that road.
"He's a bastard. He couldn't make it work with me but he can with her." Letty voiced bitterly as she downed the rest of her drink.
"He didn't know what he had Let." I spoke and she muttered something in agreement.
"He just didn't want me anymore." She whispered as she started on another drink. I paused, my own drink half way to my lips as I frowned at her words.
"Then it was his loss. He lost you and he lost that little girl in there, you both deserve better." I said truthfully, the liquor in my system making me brave.
"Why can't all men be like you Leon?" She asked sadly and I shrugged as we continued drinking.
"I'm not perfect Let."
"You're close enough."
Few hours later
"You remember dat time I punched you?" Letty asked slurring her words. We were both a little on the drunk side as we sat on the floor of the lounge room, my back up against one of the couches and Letty's up against the coffee table.
"Dat hurt like a bitch." I slurred back as we laughed loudly.
"Shhh shhh, we'll wake Ava up." She giggled as she crawled towards me and I nodded slowly.
"Dat would be bad, cos den the fun has to stop." I grinned as she stopped in front of me still laughing quietly. She nodded slowly as we stared at one another. Somewhere in the back of my fuzzy brain I knew there was something wrong with this picture but I couldn't put my finger on it as she leaned into me further and I met her half way.
Our lips met clumsily as we kissed. Having had feelings for Letty for years I had always wondered what it would be like to kiss her and I had to say kissing her felt amazing. I knew it was wrong; somewhere at the back of my brain the sober part of me was screaming, telling me to stop. The drunk and selfish part of me that had been waiting for years for this moment tossed that aside as Letty climbed onto my lap ignoring our near empty drinks.
I kissed her more urgently as she settled and she returned it as her hands found their way to my hair. I groaned as she pulled slightly as I ran my own hands up her body until my hands were tangled in her hair, holding her to me.
"We shouldn't." I muttered as she broke away trailing her kisses down my neck. I lost focus almost immediately, whatever I was saying completely gone from my mind.
"Why?"
"I…I made a promise." I moaned as she bit down.
"I'm not his anymore." That was all I heard before I pulled her back to my lips. We'd deal with whatever fall out that would come from this in the morning.
It didn't take us long to move from our sitting position on the floor to the lounge. Our shirts were gone quickly and I groaned as her nails dug into my shoulders as we resumed our kiss. Our movements were clumsy and hurried as we ridded the rest of our clothes. I bit her shoulder, groaning at the same time as she sunk down onto me. She let out a low moan and I mirrored it as she started to move. I panted and moaned as she slammed down on top of me repeatedly with my help.
"Fuck." I growled as I came and she followed just second later with a cry. Letty collapsed on my chest as we came down from our highs. Even after my heart rate returned to normal I stayed where I was and so did she as I held her body to mine. Silence fell over us, both lost in our own thoughts but after a while my eyes started to drop and I let sleep claim me.
20th May- Mexico City
Letty and Leon's apartment
I groaned as I woke, my head was pounding, there was something heavy on my chest and I could hear a loud crying sound somewhere in the distance. It took me a few minutes for my haziness to fade before I realized what was happening.
"Fuck." I swore as I ran a hand over my face, the night before coming back to me in bits and pieces. I looked down at letty as she lay asleep still on my chest and I slid my hand up her back as she groaned and tried to move away.
"Let." I called and she hummed in response.
"We gotta get up, Ava's crying."
"Uh what?" She asked as she woke holding her head. It took her a minute before she realized where she was.
"Shit." She swore as she got off me and got dressed slowly. I stayed where I was as she left the room and sighed throwing my hand over my face.
'This is going to be awkward.' I thought as I pulled myself into a sitting position looking around for my clothes. Finding them I pulled them on and headed to the kitchen to make two cups of coffee.
I was leaning against the counter when she walked back in looking as crap as I felt. I pushed her coffee towards her and she gave me a small smile in thanks.
"Have we got advil?" She asked and I nodded.
"Yeah in here somewhere I think." I said waving a hand to the cupboards.
"Can you take her? I have to make her a bottle, I can't breastfeed her." She muttered and I nodded taking Ava as she continued to calm down from her earlier crying. I wiped the tears that were falling from her eyes as she pouted and gave her cheek a kiss.
"God what did we drink last night?" She asked herself as she made Ava bottle.
"I don't remember, but whatever it was we drunk a lot of it." I said as I went and sat down with Ava in my lap.
"Let…" I started after a huge gap of silence.
"Yeah?" She asked ignoring my gaze as she took Ava back.
"We're going to have to talk about it sometime." I said quietly.
"Leon, we were drunk; let's just leave it at that. It won't happen again." She spoke and I went to fight it but stopped myself. I knew I shouldn't push her so for now I was going to leave it alone.
"Okay. Are we good then? Can we forget about it?" I asked knowing I wasn't going to be able to. I had slept with Letty and though we'd been drunk, it had been great.
"Yeah Le we're good. Let's just forget about it okay?" I nodded and she smiled slightly as she fed Ava and we lapsed back into awkward silence.
'The next few days were going to be fun.' I thought sadly.
