Love My Friends with Benefits

With visiting hours over, I took the elevator towards the first floor, my mind racing over what had just happened.

Had Leonard brought Bell here to get me in trouble? What did Phoebe and Gail have planned for me? What should I do to get away from them...

With a ding, the elevator came to a stop.

I had my head bowed. I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings and walked out of the elevator, not even noticing that this wasn't the first floor.

Suddenly, a pair of arms shot out from the side and wrapped around me.

Shocked, I was about to cry for help when something pressed against my lips and silenced me. A familiar cologne wafted over me.

It was Leonard.

The moment I realised this, my eyes turned red with rage.

"Let me go!" I struggled desperately, kicking and punching him.

...

I managed to stomp on Leonard's foot. He let me go with a scowl. "You lunatic."

He'd done all these things, yet he had the nerve to call me a lunatic?

I raised my head and glared at him. "Let me go, you animal!"

Leonard's eyes turned stormy. "Say that again."

I was so furious that I actually repeated myself. "I said, you're an animal!"

I thought that Leonard would fly into a rage and do something to me here. Unexpectedly, however, he quickly calmed down. "Give me a reason."

I sneered. "How about you going against our deal and bringing Bell to the hospital?"

Leonard smirked. "Is that it? Anything else?"
