Affairs Pt 2

Summary

Leon and Scarlett end up going out for lunch, Ada was on her lunch break and she sees them at a restaurant…

The sun shined through the sheer blinds. Leon woke up realizing Scarlett wasn’t next to him, he started to look around the large room and then he smelled the glorious smell of something cooking from downstairs.

Leon got up from the bed and went downstairs to see Scarlett cooking bacon and eggs for the both of them.

“Good morning Scar,” he greeted the girl as he looked her up and down.

“Good morning baby,” Scarlett greeted back. “Hope you like my cooking, I don’t cook often but I know the basics,” She told him while putting the food on the table.

“I’m sure it tastes fine love,” Leon said as he gave her a reassuring smile.

Leon waited for the food to cool off then he finally took a bite of her eggs. Leon suddenly had a surge of immense joy inside of but he pushed it down.

“The food tastes delicious Scar,” he told her. Leon hadn’t had a good home-cooked meal in a while ever since he and Ada started, Just fast food, no homemade food since he and Ada started fighting. He missed the times when they were loving toward each other.

A few hours later…

Scarlett was waiting patiently for Leon to arrive at the coffee shop, she was about to call him but that’s when he walked through the door.

“Sorry, I’m late Scar,” Leon apologized.

“You're totally fine,” Scarlett said reassuring him as she got up to order her coffee. Leon followed behind her.

The cashier greeted them as she asked what kind of coffee they wanted.

“Can I get a medium caramel coffee with cold foam, please,” Scarlett ordered.

“Can I just get a coffee with creamer,” Leon ordered as well.

"That will be $7.86," the cashier said.

Leon paid for the drinks while Scarlett went to find a table for them. They decided to reminisce since this was the coffee shop that started it all.

"I mean, I still can't believe that a mixed-up coffee order turned into an affair between us," Scarlett said while laughing with immense joy.

Flashback…

“Sorry for the mix-up, this isn’t the first time this has happened,” the woman said as she playfully laughed.

“Your perfectly fine,” the man said with a faint smile.

“May I ask for your name?” the woman asked.

“Leon,” he answered.

“Mine’s is Scarlett,” she said.

The two started to conversate and they realized they had a lot in common, they decided to exchange numbers to keep in touch with each other. They became really good friends within months.

A couple of days later…

Leon arrived at his home and decided to sit down for a little bit before, he decided to put on street clothes and head out for a walk. He walked upstairs and heard his wife talking to somebody.

"I know baby, I'm gonna tell him eventually but now is not the time because I need this job," Ada argued on the phone.

Ada remained silent for a short moment

"Ok, I'll tell him eventually..." Leon started to walk away from the area while Ada's voice faded out.

He left the house not even wanting to hear the rest of the call. Leon decided to take a walk to clear his mind when Scarlett called him.

"Hey Leon," Scarlett greeted him.

"Hey Scarlett," Leon dryly said.

“You okay? you sound a little sad,” Scarlett asked concerned.

Leon told her everything that happened, he felt like his whole world was shattering but he didn’t let that stop him. He wanted to get his own back…

Present time…

Ada was on her lunch break, and she stopped at a nearby coffee shop but she saw something that ticked her soul, She saw her husband and another female eating together.

Leon was talking to Scarlett when he saw Ada in the corner of his eye.

“And then when I took my dog out-, Leon are you listening,” Scarlett asked as she questioned him.

Leon didn’t respond still staring at Ada. Scarlett started to get irritated by his actions.

“What are you looking at,” Scarlett blustered before she looked behind her.

“Oh, I see now, I’m just gonna go, Leon, see you next time,” Scarlett sighed.

“Wait, don’t go,” he begged as he grabbed Scarlett’s arm from walking any further.

Scarlett didn’t make any eye contact with him, That’s when Ada walked through the door. “So what’s going here, Leon?” Ada questioned.

Eyes were drawn onto them as people started whispering. “Ada, let’s not do this here,” Leon gritted out.

“No, we are going to do this here, why are you here with another woman?” Ada bawled out.

“Maybe if you didn’t cheat on me, this affair wouldn’t even be a thing right now,” Leon clarified.

A pure golden silence filled the room. “What are you talking about?” Ada questioned feeling eyes all over.

“I know you cheated on me with your boss Ada, I know everything. I overheard your conversation with him a few months ago,” Leon revealed.

“You wanna know where all of our money is going, it’s going to this woman right here because she has been there when I was ever feeling down while you just criticized me whenever. All we do is argue nowadays, I love Scarlett,” Leon blurted.

Scarlett just stood there trying to take in everything that just happened. She knew she needed to say something but she didn’t.

Ada stood in place shocked before she walked out.

“This is over Leon Kennedy, we are getting a divorce as soon as possible,” Ada bellowed before she left.

Leon and Scarlett left the coffee shop and they both sat down on a bench nearby. It was silent before Scarlett finally spoke up.

“Leon, thank you for that,” Scarlett thanked him as she hugged him.

Before Scarlett could say anything else, Leon’s lips were already on hers. She instantly kissed back liking the feel of his lips on hers. They pulled back after a few minutes.

“I love you, Leon,” Scarlett confessed as she hugged him

“I love you too Scarlett…”

Part 2 will be the end of this short little series. Hope you enjoyed it!

Taylor Swift Lyrics That Make Me Feral

This is based on lyrics ONLY. Not song moments; that is a separate list.

“And you come away with a great little story. Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you.”

“So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time. As far as I’m concerned you’re just another picture to burn!”

“BURN BURN BURN BABY BURN”

"Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday but I realized some bigger dreams of mine."

"I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale, I'm gonna find someone someday whO MIGHT ACTUALLY TREAT ME WELL"

“LET ME REMIND YOU FOR A MINUTE WHY WE’RE NOT FINE!!” (Yes I know this is from ‘Let’s Go (Battle)’ and it’s technically unreleased but I had to include it. I really hope we get it in a speak now vault track).

Just. All of ATW 10 minute version. Every single line. I cannot and will not pick just part of it for this list.

"For the first time, what's past is..past."

"I know the bravest thing I ever did was..RUNNN"

"How can a person know everything at 18 but nothing at 22?"

"How did I go from growing up to breaking down?"

"She'll know the way and then she'll say she got the map from me. I'll say I'm happy for her then I'll cry myself to sleep"

(Okay maybe all of ‘Nothing New’)

Literally ALL of "I Bet You Think About Me." I fucking LOVE that song so so so much

"Now I'm Miss gonna be alright someday."

"GOODBYE Mr. PERFECTLY FINEEE! HOW'S YOUR HEART AFTER BREAKIN MINE!"

"I'VE BEEN MISS MISERY FOR THE LAST TIME, AND YOU'RE MR. PERFECTLY FINE!"

"Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream"

"The rest of the world was black and white, but we were in screaming color"

All of "New Romantics," but especially "BABY I COULD BUILD A CASTE OUT OF ALL THE BRICKS THEY THREW AT ME" and also "HEARTBREAK IS THE NATIONAL ANTHEM WE SING IT PROUDLY" and "The rumors are terrible and cruel but honey most of them are true."

"So I PUNCHED A HOLE IN THE ROOF" and literally all of Clean

"And I bury hatchets but I keep maps of where I put 'em" (LITERALLY DON'T @ ME THE ENDGAME RAP IS GUN)

"IF A MAN TALKS SHIT THEN I OWE HIM NOTHIN"

"We can't make any promises now can we babe? But you can make me a drink." (Cue: ‘1, 2, 3, LETS GO BITCH!’)

All of Getaway Car

"I want your midnights but I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on new year's day."

ALL of Dear John

"But you held your pride like you should've held me"

All of Last Kiss; but esp “NOW I WATCH YOUR LIFE IN PICTURES LIKE I USED TO WATCH YOU SLEEP”

“It isn’t love it isn’t hate it’s just indifference.”

All of ‘The Archer’

DBATC bridge

"in my defense i have none, for never leaving well enough alone"

“When you are young they assume you know nothing”

“Cause you weren’t mine to lose”

“And then it was bought by me…who knows if I never showed up what could’ve been?”

“You never gave a warning sign/I gave so many signs”

You cannot make me choose parts of ‘my tears ricochet’

“I’m still a believer but I don’t know why, I’ve never been a natural all I do is try try try.”

Second verse of ‘this is me trying’

The ‘illicit affairs’ bridge

All of ‘peace’

“Your faithless love’s the only hoax I believe in”

The champagne problems bridge

“No I didn’t mean that, sorry I can’t see facts through all of my fury. You haven’t met the new me yet.”

“I can’t make it go away by making you a villain”

“I pulled your body into mine every goddamn night now I get fake niceties. No one yea he’s you what to do when a good man hurts you, and you know you hurt him too.”

Okay just literally all of ‘happiness’ I can’t pick a few lines anymore I TRIED

ALL of ‘ivy’

Same with ‘cowboy like me’

“And he’s passing by rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky. And he feels like home, if the shoe fits walk in it everywhere you go.”

All of ‘right where you left me’

All of ‘it’s time to go’ but especially the 2nd verse.
