I am a true Leo girl. If you look up the definition of Leo in the dictionary, you would see a picture of me.
First, how I look. I am truly a big cat. I am "tawny," with big brown eyes and a mane of wild blond hair. I am fit and athletic, sleek and strong.
Second, what you have to understand about Leos is that while we have a reputation for having big egos, what that means is we have weak, very insecure egos. We rant and roar, but underneath there is a serious problem with self-confidence. Pride covers over a massive insecurity complex.
I'm not one of those outgoing Leos, though. I'm what they call a Shy Pussycat. But don't let that fool you. I may be more reserved, but I am passionate, like all Fire Signs.
So I want to tell you about my special lover—my wonderful Mr. Sagittarius. Also a Fire Sign. You can imagine when two of us get together. I knew it would be explosive, I just didn't know how.
His name is Marco. Like all Sag's, he is the center of attention. Sag's move and go like comets in the sky. They do not have a problem with confidence. They have more than enough. Marco is vital and electric. He has tons of friends, always the life of the party. He is hyper and intense and he never slows down. Wherever he is, that's where you want to be. I've known him—or rather known about him—forever, from mutual friends. The thing is, I never thought I'd be interested in him—he's not my physical type. He is short, and I am tall. He is a small guy, and while I am thin, I'm not a petite girl. I just never thought about him that way, even though I have always noticed his face. His mom is white, his dad is black, so he has this gorgeous skin, burning black eyes, full lips. He is definitely cute, but like 5 inches shorter than me. A small dude.
Plus, he has always freaked me out just a little because this is not a shy person. To even talk to him you have to wade through a big crowd of people. I am a lot quieter. And most of all, I know his reputation with women. Sag's are the biggest womanizers of the zodiac. So it's fine with me that I am not physically attracted to him. Saves me a lot of grief I think.
One night I got invited to a party at his house. I was psyched. Something to do, and a party at Marco's is ALWAYS going to be fun. Me and my pals got there when things were already hopping. The music was blaring, people were yelling and chatting and laughing. And with Marco, you know illicit drugs are going to be involved. God knows who will be doing what in there. I just stick to beer and start getting very drunk.
When we get in he comes over and gives me a big hug, like he does everyone. He loves to be a host. He sticks around for about 5 seconds before running off to chat someone else up.
So at one point I step outside for some air and a smoke (ha ha). And to my surprise, I see him make a beeline out of his gaggle of followers and come outside with me. I didn't know it but he's been watching me all night. Not to throw roses at myself, but I do look good. I'm wearing a short, tight skirt and a teeny little t-shirt.
He comes outside, "Heeeey Annie (my name is Annabel but he calls me Annie--typical), Having fun??"
He is bouncing and excited. We chat a bit. He looks at me with those intense eyes: "You look really good tonight."
I say Thanks, still not thinking anything.
"So when everyone starts leaving tonight, why don't you stick around?" No, it's more like a command. Like, "I've decided I want to be with you tonight. My place, after hours—BE THERE." And he comes towards me and just plants a kiss on my mouth. He says "Caio" and takes off. Ha! Is he serious?
Sagittarians are called the clowns of the zodiac. They like to entertain, juggle, lead a circus parade. I don't have a clue if he is serious or not. But that kiss was nice. Soft and sexy.
So the party goes on. I'm having a blast with my friends. There's no guys involved, for once, so we just laugh, get drunk, and hang out.
One of my friends, Jackie, the one who invited me in fact, just asks me out of the blue,"Sooooo, Miss Annabel, what do you think of my man over there?"
"Who, Marco?" What is going on? I finally dig it out of her. Apparently, this is all her doing. He called her up and TOLD her to bring me. This has all been a set up! She says that he has liked me for a long time. That he threw this whole shindig just so he could get me to his place. What a weasel! Both of them!
"Sorry, but he's not my type. Too short."
She just looks at me "You're too picky. He could be good for you."
What do you mean, "Good for me? I'm fine!"
"Ok, yes, but don't you think you need to chill out a little? You CAN be a bit of a prude, you know."
She thinks Marco could bring me out of my shell. Activate my latent "Leo" sensuality. I snort. That's when I tell her astrology is a bunch of crap.
But the laugh's on me, because when it comes time to go, and there's only a few people milling around, I suddenly notice that Jackie is no longer around. She has left, along with my ride! Christ. I know she did this deliberately.
I am in the living room. I am on my way out of the room when Marco, who is lounging on the couch apparently very amused at seeing me pissed off, just casually reaches out and grabs me by the wrist.
"Hey, hold up, hold up. I have a car. I'll get you home, I promise." Well, I guess I don't have any options.
"Calm down. As soon as everyone leaves I'll take you home, no big deal."
So I wait. The little weasel is still holding court, and I watch him. He is cute, I'll give him that. He's got on one of those Rasta-type knitted hats, a tank top and cargo pants. He's got a little goatee. And he may be small, but he is solid muscle. I can see every defined bicep, an awesome chest, and a completely flat stomach.
So finally, it's just me and him. He's lying back on his couch, looking at me. He slouches down in his chair and spreads his legs so his dick is dead center, puts his hands behind his head.
"I'm sorry you missed your ride. If you really want to go we can leave now."
I stare at him, mulling it over, then say, "Can you get me another drink?"
"Oh sure babe, hang on."
He comes back with something strong, lots of vodka. When he brings it over he says softly, "So you want to hang out for a little bit?"
He has nice hands. Creamy dark skin. I know this guy is a seducer, I've heard all these stories of how many hearts he's broken, but what can I say? I am a Leo. I am flattered. I like being admired. My ego is perking up and I decide to see what he's going to do.
"Yeah, sure. It's been a fun night."
"Excellent. Why don't you come over here?" Gestures to the couch.
I sit down, making my tiny skirt ride up my legs. Marco leans over and puts a hand on my thigh. Just leaves it there.
