Chapter Fourteen
As Leandro raced tothe front, easily beating the competition, he couldn’t help glancing at his bike’s mirror to see what Bobby was doing.
What he saw almost caused him to lose control, his heart squeezing at the sight of Bobby still standing there when all the other token girls had left. She was alone, and she was showing no signs of leaving.
He forced himself to look back at the course, telling himself his life would be less of a mess with Bobby gone from his life. It wouldn’t exactly be happy, wouldn’t exactly be exciting, but at least it wouldn’t be filled with goddamn hurt, no more nights when he couldn’t sleep because his mind was filled with thoughts of Bobby, wondering if his greatest fear would happen.
That Bobby would stop loving him for good.
He tightened his hold on the grips of his bike, telling himself that although he was making his worst fear come true, it was meant to be.
Leandro made a sharp turn to the left, staying at the innermost track. His bike leaned dangerously close to the ground, but he held his balance easily. When the curve ended, he slowly inched his bike back to an upright position.
Leandro was already halfway done with the course when he found the time to look back.
She was still there.
With a curse, Leandro made a swift 180 degree turn so he could race back to the starting line. The closer he got to Bobby, the louder and faster his heartbeat became, and by the time he parked the bike a few feet away from Bobby, his heartbeat was so loud it had completely drowned out the sound of his motorcycle’s engine.
The crunch of footsteps heading towards her took some time to penetrate the cloud of misery that had enveloped Bobby.Someone was going to ask her to walk away, Bobby thought, and her grand gesture of true and undying love would be lost.
A shadow fell over her.
“Bobby.”
Her head shot up.
“L-Leandro?” Was it really him?
Slowly, he removed his helmet and it was indeed Leandro’s gorgeous face staring back at her. He loomed over her, so tall and powerful that she had to crane her neck to meet his eyes. “Where’s the ring,mégaira?”
She began to cry. Dear God, today proved to be the most embarrassing day of her life. She must have cried an ocean of tears already, she – Bobby Granger, who had always prided herself for being a tough chick.
Bobby raised her hand and showed Leandro his ring.
“Were you waiting for me all this time, mégaira?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
