My Favorite Sin (Republished)

Chapter 3

~ L E I L A ~

I may start going insane.

I've literally got nothing to do. I've been sitting on my bed for over 5 hours.

My "date" is in 2 hours and I haven't worked out in a while so I decided to head to the gym.

I honestly need it, not because I want to change my body but to move my lazy ass.

I got dressed into a sports bra and some gym shorts and quickly left, unable to stay in my house a moment longer.

While I'm there I mostly work on my legs and practice fighting. I had to sit down after like 10 minutes because I needed to catch my breath.

Damn this is probably why I stopped coming for so long, I think to myself.

When I started working out again I saw some very attractive guy who looked like he's in his late 20's walking into the gym.

Now I think very low of men because they suck, but I suck too... and very well from what I've heard.

Anyways I peeked over at him a few times, so what? I'm only human.

About 45 minutes pass and I'm getting myself ready to leave so I can have enough time to prepare for the double date.

While I was leaving the gym I heard heavy footsteps following me. Turning around to see the hot guy from earlier right against me.

"Sorry" he apologizes, taking a step back but— my Lord, he has a rough deep voice that settles deep into my core.

"It's fine. Are you following me or something" I ask with some unintentional attitude laced into my tone.

He chuckles— Even his goddamn chuckle is attractive damn,

My underwear feels damp and to be clear, it is not from sweating.

"No. I saw you working out back there and I've got to say I'm impressed. I've never seen a woman hit like that" he pauses when my brows furrow.

Was that supposed to be some sort of compliment?

I kinda wanted to hit him for saying that.

He scratches his neck nervously "Also you're gorgeous so I was going to approach you and ask for your number but I didn't wanna risk getting my ass beat" he finishes with a light laugh and I smile.

"Sorry but I'm not looking to start a relationship. Men aren't exactly my favorite currently" I answer truthfully.

He nods, licking his lips "Oh that's ok. I would still like to work out with you one day at least. Hell you can even teach me how to punch like that"

Why the hell not right?

He could be a serial killer, dumbass.

"My name is Damon by the way" I smile and he hands me his phone.

I'll take the risk for a guy with a body, face and name like that.

I put my number in and saved my name in his contacts then gave him his phone back.

"I'll see you around" he grins, boyishly.

"If you're lucky" I reply and walk back to my apartment.

When I get home I see some messages from my sister, Mila and a random number who I assume is the guy from the gym.

I open my sisters first and read.

Nadia: I just got here and I'm good.

Nadia: Idiot pick up your phone.

Me: Sorry I was at the gym.

Nadia: I didn't ask dumbass. Anyways can I stay over another night? Her mom will take me to school I promise. Please pleaseeeee!?

Me: You're lucky I have a date tonight. You better be home after school tomorrow.

Nadia: Thank you so much wait- A DATE?

I laugh because that's exactly how I expected her to react and she's probably going to annoy me for details tomorrow.

Me: Yea. I'll tell you about it when you decide to come home. Bye I love you.

I couldn't read her reply because a picture of Mila and her name popped up on my screen. I answered the call.

"I'M ON MY WAY YOU BETTER START GETTING READY BITCH" she yells at me thru the phone.

"What happened to hello? How are you?" I say sarcastically.

"They died right next to your personality" she replies back and we both laugh.

"Get ready. I'm about 10 minutes away and we have to leave in 30. Also we're meeting them there and I meet his brother and HOLY LORD JESUS HE'S SO FINE LEILA! HE LOOKS LIKE HE HAS A 8 INCH DI-" she starts to ramble but I just hang up.

I head over and take a shower and shave my entire body... Why? Well because a girl has needs and I haven't had sex in over a year so a one night stand after free food seems like a great idea to me.

I walk out of the shower headed to my room and scream.

Mila is just sitting on my bed with the creepiest god damn smile on her face.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!" I ask her while trying to control my breathing.

"Nothing, it's just my bestest friend in the entire world is finally gonna get fucked" she replied in a casual tone.

I just stared at her wondering, How many years do I get for manslaughter?

She walked up to me and handed me the dress. It takes us about 30 minutes but we both got dressed up, put on makeup and heels. I wore a mini black dress that showed some cleavage while Mila wore a white backless dress. Right before we were about to leave I grab my little blade and slip it into my bra again.

Mila watches and rolls her eyes at me so I just flick her off.

The drive was pretty short and she didn't even tell me the name of the restaurant we were going to, not like I actually cared anyways. Once she pulls up I take a good look at the outside and it looks elegant.

Ew overpriced tiny food, was the first thought that came to mind but I still walked in.

It was too late to run away now... or is it?

We approach a table with a guy seated. He must be tall as hell because just sitting he's almost my height. He has dark black hair and hazel eyes with a sharp jawline.

He looked really attractive but I couldn't help but notice he looked oddly familiar in a way.

When we got closer he looked like he just shit himself, seriously he looked terrified so I furrowed my brows and he cleared his throat.

He stood up and I was right. He had to be at least 6'0 and last time I checked I was 5'2 so I barely came up to his chest.

He reaches out his hand and says "Hello, my name is Vin" I smile politely and reply while shaking his hand.

"Hi I'm Leila, it's nice to meet you" he looks like he's studying my expression and then he motions his hands for us to take a seat.

Mila sits next to him in the booth and I sit on the opposite side. "My brother is always late, so I apologize on his behalf for the tardiness" he says.

I can barely focus because I have this weird guy feeling that something is off but I nod regardless.

We make small talk while we wait for our food and I glance out of the window while Vinny and Mila are having a conversation.

When I was looking out the window I noticed a tall man.

He looked muscular and he stepped out of his car and looked up. When our eyes meet my heart drops.

I could never forgot those god damn piercing eyes and I'd recognize them anywhere, which is why my heart sinks.

Lorenzo?
