Now the next morning, bright and early, Leah had gone down into Lexa's room, packing up a little overnight bag with her sister's clothes, shoes, make-up, sundries and the like. Leah put on one of Lexa's sexy little sundresses, and a pair of her red high heels, with straps around the ankles, Leah removed her wedding ring and handed it to Lexa, telling her. "This is just until Sunday, and then everything will go back to normal." Lexa slipped the expensive, rare diamond ring on her finger, as she had done in the past, but that was just for a laugh, but now Lexa would have to wait for two days before she would have to give it back, all part of the elaborate charade the twins were creating. So it was, Lexa gave over her own jewelry, handbag, identification, phone, keys to her car etc... during this exchange Lexa could not help feel uneasy, knowing this was going to be mistake. However, it was the sheer delight and sparkle in Leah's gleaming, green eyes, that Lexa had not seen in a long time, for Leah was so full of excitement ready for a little forbidden romantic adventure; which made Lexa keep her peace and hold her tongue. With much worry, Lexa put on her sister's night gown, robe and slippers then the two went upstairs to Leah's room where the two sat on the edge of the bed, Leah holding her son in her arms, lovingly kissing him on the forehead, stroking his silken, wispy strands of jet black hair.
"Now you be a good boy for mommy, my little angel, I will be back in a few days." Leah said not realizing this would be the last time she ever would hold her child again. With a gentle kiss Leah gave her boy over to her dear, sweet, non-judgemental sister telling her "Thank you so much! I need to get away so bad.., before I go mad.., and, well.., I could not do this, without you." Leah said hugging them both in her arms.
"We will be fine, there is plenty of formula in the 'fridge, now go on.., hurry before I change my mind." Lexa said as she was just about to call off the whole agreement, but she did not. "Just promise me you will be back here on Sunday."
"I promise, sister dear, you will see me again on Sunday." Leah said with a warm gentle smile "And besides.., when have I ever broken a promise to you?"
Here Lexa felt for a quick moment as though a deep piece of her soul had been touched with warmth and love by her sister's devotion to her and Leah opened up her mouth and said "Never."
"That's right sweetheart.., never." Leah reminded Lexa, who gave her a kiss on the cheek, trying her best to look pleased, but she was not, quite the contrary. Here Lexa had one last moment to stop everything, but Lexa remained silent then Leah said "So enjoy your time with Jason, I am sure he will be more than enough to keep you busy.., but remember, Aphina and Carlo are here, and they love to take care of him too, so you can always sleep in.., if you want to."
"No, I think it will be fun to be you, just for a day or two, though I am sure I will be more than happy to hand him back over to you.., soon!" Lexa laughed knowing that caring for six month old baby was a monumental task, in and of itself, indeed, but Lexa could handle it, and her sister knew she was leaving her son in capable hands. "Just go and have a good time, be safe and call me when you get to the city, and call me tonight.., and if I text you, text me right back A.S.A.P., Okay girlie?"
"Alright.., sure no problem, fine." Leah smiled with a little laugh, happy for her sister's concern for her safety and well being. "Now.., I have to get out of here and start my little adventure!" Leah said enthusiastically as she gave her sister and her son a little squeeze. "I will call you when I get to Buenos Aires and I will see you both on Sunday morning."
"Okay, goodbye." Lexa said as she sat back on the edge of the bed, cradling Jason in her arms and as he played with the long golden curls cascading around her shoulders, Lexa watched as her sister turned and left the room, Lexa could hear the click, click, of her heels as Leah walked down the hall. Lexa sat there listening to the footfalls of her sister as she went down the steps, crossed the foyer going out the front door. Lexa stood up with the babe in her arms as she went over to the window and watched Leah climb into her car, the little silver, convertible Mercedes that Charles never drove anymore, not since he had the Bugatti. With a rev of the engine Lexa felt her pulse quicken as her heart began to race, she felt a wave of heat rise up to her face as she stared out the window, watching her sisterm Leah, drive away, completely unaware that she would never see her sister, alive, again.
