More Than Meets The Eye!!
By Shana_LEO80
Leo is sitting at the kitchen table sipping his coffee slowly.
While he drinks his coffee he realizes that recently he has fallen in love with me but has no idea if he should tell me or
not. As he sits at the table drinking his coffee and eating his breakfast all he can think about is me. Saying to himself,
“ Leo you have really lost it now falling for a human even though you have once
before and it got you in danger. Especially after you saved her she goes and stabs you with your own katana. You’re
still trying to recover from that humiliation. Now you fall for your best friend you better get some advice before you do
anything.”
He picks up his shell cell and dials Casey who was preoccupied
with April. She hears it ringing, “ Case is that your shell cell ringing?” He reaches for the nightstand and looks,
“ It’s Leo babe I’ll be right back.” He gets up out of
the bed and throws a robe over himself, “Casey here what’s up Leo why are you calling me you know April is over.”
“Casey I have fallen in love with Celeste and have no
idea how to approach her about it. You are the only one I can talk to you’re in
a relationship and have been for 4 years. What should I do I can’t seem to get her off my mind.”
“Well Leo if that’s the case get her in the mood
and tell her. How does she act when you two are together anyway?”
“Very tense like she’s afraid or something. I can’t
just pounce on her like that you lamebrain she was abused and who knows what else he did to her when they lived together I’ll
figure it out myself thanks anyway. Bye.”
Leo hangs up his shell cell and Splinter enters, “ My
son asking Casey for advice was the worst thing you could’ve done; why didn’t you just come to me I am your father.”
“I didn’t come to you because she’s a human
and I know how you feel about us and humans; but Sensei I can’t help it when she’s by me I just feel so good and
want to hold her in my arms I’m so confused. What should I do I love her so much.”
“Leonardo when you train her tonight just tell her how
you feel she’s your best friend I think she’ll understand. But approach her slowly don’t just come out with
it and tell her you love her understand my son she’s still a little leery about opening her heart because of Jason.
Don’t scare her away; explain to her why you feel this way about her ok.”
“Yes Sensei thank you again. I should’ve gone to
you in the first place instead of that lamebrain always with his mind in the gutter.”
Raph overhears, “ Are you telling me you fell in love
with Celeste; bro you just don’t learn do you after Karai you should know better.”
Leo looks, “ If you mention Karai one more time I swear
I’ll injure you; I’ve had it with you making fun of me and using every chance you get to make me feel useless.
Well guess what bro I know I made a mistake and have returned to myself so I’d advise you to keep your mouth shut about
her understand! Celeste is not like her you shell for brains but you don’t know that only I do and if it turns out she
loves me that’ll be my business and not concern you now move out of my way; I need to meet her.”
Leo storms off out of the lair and heads top side in his disguise
to our apartment.
I’m in the kitchen right now drinking my coffee and thinking
about Leo and how something has changed between us as far as I’m concerned. But who knows how he feels; and I’m
so scared to tell him that I’m in love with him afraid of his reaction. I see him coming up the stoop and answer the
door for him, “ Hey Leo how are you I haven’t seen you in 7 months is something wrong?”
He enters the apartment and takes off his disguise and sits
at the kitchen table and sighs. “You and I have to talk Celeste. 7 months ago when we were supposed to be training I
noticed your focus wasn’t there. Are you having second thoughts of me training you talk to me please I’m drowning
here. We have known each other for almost 3 years and became best friends you can’t be hiding things from me if something
has been on your mind you know you can always talk to me. I’m here now and no one else is around tell me what’s
been on your mind Celeste please.”
I look at him and say, “ I have no idea how to tell you
this I know how you feel about humans Leo. But I can’t keep it to myself anymore it’s killing me.”
He looks in my eyes, “ Celeste go on tell me I have nothing
against humans some of my closest friends are human besides you; go on I’m listening. “
I pour him a cup of coffee and sit across from him and take
a deep breath. “ Leo for the past year I have realized I fell in love with you; I don’t know how it happened but
it did. You are always there for me and I can always talk to you if I have something on my mind you actually listen. Also
if Jason tries to harm me you always keep him away from me. Besides ever since you’ve been training me I know I can
face Jason with out fearing him. No guy makes me feel the way you do when you’re near me Leo please don’t hate
me because I’m in love with you.”
He takes a sip of his coffee and takes my hand, “ Celeste
don’t cry I’m not mad at you because you fell in love with me. I also realized I’m in love with you but
was afraid to tell you because I had no idea how you would react to me telling you I’m in love with you. When you are
near me I just feel so good for some reason; I guess it’s because you accept me for what I am.”
I look in his eyes, “ Leo I fell in love with the person
you’re inside I don’t care what you look like on the outside. You just have an affect on me because I can always
count on you to be there if I need you.”
He looks, “Of course that’s what friends do for
one another Celeste it’s natural. But we’re more than friends and
you know it. Neither one of us can hide our feelings for one another let’s just cut to the chase shall we? Celeste will
you be my girl? You mean so much to me and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Give me a chance to love you the way you
should be loved please.”
Our eyes meet and he embraces me then leans in to kiss me and
I accept his approach also embracing him. Looking in his eyes when we break apart, “Of course I’ll be your girl
Leo I love you. I’m so glad that we can be together finally after being so scared to tell you I’m in love with
you. You mean more to me than you’ll ever know. But what about your father Leo; he doesn’t want you getting involved
with humans I don’t want any trouble especially with him.”
Leo takes my hand and we sit on the couch, “ Celeste my
father knows I love you believe me there will be no trouble with him. So stop worrying about it ok.
I look in his eyes and he embraces me and our lips meet again
but this time I feel my body descending to the couch and just embrace him kissing him like I have never kissed anyone in my
life. While we kiss I move my hands along his chest and couldn’t believe it felt so smooth. He also embraces me and
moves his hands tracing the shape of my body then he feels himself heat up and gets up. “Whoa it’s getting hot
in here I need some ice water before something really happens between us. I should’ve never went to that lamebrain now
he’s got my mind in the gutter just perfect.”
I watch as he enters the kitchen and also notice my body was
starting to heat up. Sighing with relief he realized it before we did something we’d both regret. I fix my shirt and
jeans and open the door for April and she looks at me, “ Well I guess you have a boyfriend now am I right?”
“Yea April I do and it’s Leo. I was so scared he’d
get mad at me because I fell in love with him. But it turned out he is also in love with me but he was so scared to tell me
because I’m a human and he’s not.”
She looks, “ Well at least he didn’t take Casey’s
advice. You know how his mind is always in the gutter don’t you Celeste?”
“Yea I do but you’re no better. So it’s not
all his fault and you know it; please tell me he’s not coming over here tonight.”
She looks, “ Of course not I had enough from last night
into this morning.”
Leo comes in the living room, “ Spare us the details please
April I just ate and so did Celeste.”
She looks, “ I’ll leave you two lovebirds alone
I’m so tired I have no energy after that.”
He watches her go into her room and sighs with relief.
“Thank goodness she came in when she did we almost went
all the way Celeste.”
I look at him, “ Excuse me it was you not me don’t
make us have a fight on our first night as a couple Leo. How can you even think of asking Casey for advice you know how he
is especially when those two are together. Now he’s going to bug the daylights out of us and ask how far we got gee
Leo think before you ask him please.”
“Ok Celeste I get the point gees sue me. You’re
my first girlfriend I didn’t know who else to go to about my feelings but I didn’t take his advice now did I?”
“No you didn’t but we need to be careful for now
on.”
He looks, “ One thing about me I’m a ninja and I
practice self control. So we won’t have to worry about that just yet.”
I kiss him and say, “ Yea I know. I’m going to get
ready for bed if you want to sleep with me tonight you can I know you won’t
try anything Leo.”
He looks, “ Ok I’ll meet you upstairs let me call
my father and tell him I’ll see him tomorrow before one of my brothers call me and piss me off especially Raph.”
I head upstairs and get ready for bed. “Ok Leo see you
in few minutes if I’m not asleep before you come in.”
He nods his head and turns to call Splinter but Raph answers,
“ I can’t believe you. You just don’t learn do you.”
“You know what Raph whatever I’m just calling to
tell you 3 I won’t be home till tomorrow and nothing happened between us shell for brains. Just tell Splinter ok I’m
not getting into it with you right now. I’m tired and I’m going to sleep here tonight all right now bye.”
He hangs up his shell cell and enters my bedroom and gets under
the covers next to me. I feel him get in the bed and put my head on his chest falling asleep immediately because I felt secure
with him next to me. “I love you Leo.”
He covers us both and strokes my forehead gently, “ Love
you too Celeste goodnight.”
Then he holds me close to him and falls asleep feeling good
because he could be with me now.”
