Chapter 311: Leslie sings for Lisa 2

''Oh, you don't mind? Whoa, you are the first person who isn't afraid to die listening to my voice. Just don't regret your decision later on. My favourite boy group is Westlife, so I am going to sing the song I sang during my hay days. Let me tell you. I wanted to become a singer when I was 10 years but unfortunately, I didn't have the voice. The judges at the contest I entered all told me to go and take over my family business, because of how terrible I sing''

''It can't be that bad right?' Lisa asked herself internally as she blinked her eyes at him.

''Alright, here I go. Lisa, it is too late to regret because I am not stopping until I am done singing this song. This is the song that is close to my heart'' he said and started to sing the first verse.

'No one knows 'bout the things that I've been through with you

'There were times I'd drive you nearly mental

'But when you're mad, you're still beautiful

'And I know that I'm punching way above

'So lucky that we fell in love

'Sometimes I wonder am I enough?

'Cause you could have someone without a belly or a temper

Perfect teeth, hair growing where it's meant to

You know my lips are all I can hold against you

This is all that I'll ever need, you and I

Hello, my love

I've been searching for someone like you

For most my life

Happiness ain't a thing I'm used to

You could have fallen hard for anyone

Plenty of fish in the sea, hey now

For all of time, now I know

It's just my angel and me

Lisa sighed within her. she used to think that she was the only one with a terrible voice but now she realised that Leslie really could put her to shame. To say his voice was horrible was an understatement. He was totally tone deaf and missed most of the words in the song.

But, oddly enough, she didn't feel headache while listening to him. It was like his voice could shut out all her thoughts and hurt. She felt soothed by his terrible voice. It drained the wrecking ship which was her own thoughts. Her suicidal thoughts were nowhere to be found because her focus was all on him.

Leslie stopped when he noticed the tears in her eyes. He got confused and worried at the same time.

''Oh, Lisa, see. I told you my voice was terrible but you still asked me to sing anyways. Now, you are even crying because it is that horrible, right? God!!! I know I've driven a lot of judges mad and furious with my singing but none of them have ever cried because of how terrible I was. What do I do? You are the last person I want to hurt especially with my voice. God blessed me with a beautiful face but sadly, he felt at the long run that I was too perfect, so he took my voice away and gave me a frog voice. I even made you cry because of how terrible I am at singing. Lisa, are you in pain? Forgive me''

Leslie was rabbling on and Lisa was left speechless. she wanted so bad to tell him that she wasn't crying because his voice was bad. She just didn't know why she couldn't stop her tears from flowing. All her life, the only person who has been this good to her was Paula and Jordan but now he was also paying so much attention to her. She was simply touched by his actions and because she couldn't express herself, her tears flowed instead.

''I will stop singing'' he said and Lisa held his hand trying to calm him down. When he met with her eyes she tried to open her mouth but no sound could be heard from her. She decided to hold his hand with two of his hands and brought them to her kiss. She kissed his hand softly and shook her head and blinked her eyes.

''Huh?'' Leslie was taken aback by her actions but he quickly calmed himself and asked her, ''you don't want me to stop singing?''

Lisa blinked her eyes and smiled a little.

''Oh, then don't cry. I can't stand seeing you cry. If you cry, I would think that my voice is making you cry. I don't want to be a nuisance to you''

Lisa blinked her eyes.

Leslie picked his handkerchief and wiped her tears away as he continued to sing the rest of the song.

No one knows 'bout all the good things you do

When people take advantage of you

Your heart is pure and so beautiful

And I know that it's just the way you are

Father's eyes, but mother's daughter

And you tell me that you don't give enough

And now I found someone with all the boxes that I want ticked

'Cause your love is all I ever wanted

Set my heart on fire, I needed something

This is all I wanted to be, you and I

Hello, my love

I've been searching for someone like you

For most my life

Happiness ain't a thing I'm used to

You could have fallen hard for anyone

Plenty of fish in the sea, hey now

For all of time, now I know

It's just my angel and me

'Cause you could have someone without a belly or a temper

Perfect teeth, hair growing where it's meant to

You know my lips are all I can hold against you

This is all that I'll ever need, you and I, you and I

Hello, my love

I've been searching for someone like you

For most my life

Happiness ain't a thing I'm used to

You could have fallen hard for anyone (Anyone)

Plenty of fish in the sea, hey now

For all of time, now I know

It's just my angel and me

Leslie finished and leaned closer to Lisa and kissed her startling her. she blushed as her cheeks and ears turned red.

''I'm sorry'' Leslie apologised, coming back to his senses. He scratched his hair as he pointed to the sofa at the other side, ''I will be sitting there. I won't sleep. Rest. It's late into the night'' he said and walked to the sofa. As he sat, his cheeks and ears also turned red from embarrassment. He didn't know why he did that. it was impulsive but it still felt nice to him. He had been wanting to do that for a while now.

''Leslie, you are done for'' he murmured to himself as he touched his lips and turned to look at Lisa who was now sleeping with her eyes closed. Something had just dawned on him. His feelings which started like a joke was becoming real. He was beginning to… no, he had always seen her in a different light but never realised it. He had always thought of how they would have turned out if they had met under different circumstances. He wondered whether they could move pass just been sex partners to a real couple.

In their contract, they clearly stated that the first to fall in love must disappear from the other person's sight and now he was the first to fall and he knew it was a hard fall. But, he didn't want to disappear. He couldn't disappear knowing that Lisa was so vulnerable.

He stood up and walked closer to her. He looked at her soft breathing sounds and sighed saying more to himself, ''Lisa, I think I've lost to you. No, I know I've lost to you!! But, I don't regret it. Even if I have to tie you to myself, I would do that. I won't let you run away from me. I don't care how we started, but you can only belong one person; me''

….

Next day.

Leslie stood aside and watched as the doctor attended to Lisa.

Early in the morning, she was running a fever again so Leslie had to call the doctor and they've been trying to make her feel better since then. Her temperature was fluctuating.

''Doctor, how is she doing?''

''She is fine now. Don't worry, as she is getting better, her body temperature might rise once in a while but she is fine. If you don't mind, I would like to have a word with you in my office'' the doctor said to Leslie.

''I will come and see you once her sister arrives. I don't want to leave her alone'' Leslie said and the door opened and Andy and Paula walked inside with Magdalene who ran over to Lisa's side immediately ignoring everyone else.

''Good morning, Leslie. Good morning, doctor'' Paula greeted while the brothers simply nodded at each other.

''Paula, it's good that you are here. the doctor wants to see me''

''En, don't worry. I will stay here with Lisa'' Paula said to him.

''I will go with you'' Andy said as he was worried about Leslie. Looking at him, he knew his brother didn't have a wing of sleep at all. If he were to continue this way, by the time Lisa was out, he would be the one inside the hospital. He couldn't let that happen.

''Let's go'' the doctor said to them.

Paula smiled at Andy before he turned away, leaving with Leslie and the doctor.

''That son of a bitch £ $ %& ^^^^ *** '''''….'' Magdalene started cussing the moment the men left the room. ''Which police station is he is? I will make sure I go there and cut off that thing between his legs. How dare he do this to my newest darling?''

Magdalene pouted her lips as she looked at Lisa whose gaze never left her either.
