A future full of Leah.

Chapter 15

“I’m gonna kill him,” Carly announced as she walked into the office of the studio.

It was Tuesday morning and the first official day of classes at Dragonfly Dance. Sunday had been spent cleaning and reorganizing the house and Monday they’d opened the studio but only for office work.

“Who are you going to kill?” Mel asked, giving Leah a here we go again look.

“That douchebag, Anthony.”

“What’s wrong with Tony?” Leah asked.

“And why do you insist on calling him Anthony?” Melanie said.

Anthony Scott was the friend of Logan’s who was installing the new security system at their house. They had met him for the first time Sunday and both Mel and Leah had liked him immediately. Carly was another story.

“His name is Anthony, why would I call him Tony?”

“I don’t know,” Mel rolled her eyes, “maybe because he told us to.”

“Eww no.” Carly plopped down in her chair in front of her desk. “Tony is the weird guy who sells you meat at the deli counter. Not the name of a hot guy.”

“So you think he’s hot, do ya?” Leah said.

“Am I fucking blind, of course he’s hot. Have you seen his arms?”

“If you think he’s hot, why is he a douchebag?” Mel asked.

“Level of hotness does not make one less of a douchebag. And he’s a DB because he ‘pretended’ to break into the house this morning to check to make sure the security system was working and he walked in on me naked just out of the shower.”

“Ahh,” Mel looked at Leah, “the plot thickens.”

“He saw you naked?” Leah asked in shock. “What did you do?”

“What could I do!” She threw her hands up. “I had no idea he was there and nothing around me to grab to try and cover-up. Plus, I did not want him thinking that him seeing me naked was an issue for me.”
