It started with "one night"

Strangers to Friends

Storm had already seen and felt her figure and now that he had seen her face he was done. It felt like all his life led to her, To this moment, but he quickly realised that other women tried this trick to seduce him and everyone just needed him for his money. So he kept his face neutral but his heartbeat betrayed his nervousness that he felt.  Like he just got to know a new type of treasure which god took his time personally making it.

Xenia had already danced all she wanted so she just wanted to hydrate a little and go out to drink some more somewhere cozy while eating something. So she simply asked the man in front to excuse her.
Storm saw her leaving him and felt his heart going with her so after waking himself up from his reverie he followed her only to see her waiting for her car at the valet service. He came towards her and asked,
" One night"

Xenia was confused by this man's word. She replied 
" I am sorry, what?"
"How much for one night", Storm asked again to her.

Xenia now knew what he was asking for so she firstly felt insulted then she got over the feeling and replied to him "I think you got the wrong the person".
Xenia saw her car coming so she without saying anything further went to her car and drove away while Storm stood there.  It was his first time when he offered himself plus his money and still he got rejected.
He quickly called for his car and tried to catch up to her which was easy as she was driving slow.

Xenia was on phone in her car trying to search up a place which was cozy for her to eat and get drunk nearby.
She found one perfect place so she went there and parked her car in the lots. She got out and saw another car parking in the next lot to her, from which that brothel man came out.
Yes, she nicknamed him as brothel man because of obvious reasons and also the fact that he insulted her in a roundabout way.
She ignored him and went into the diner sat at the most corner place, looked at the menu and waited for the waiter to come. Till that duration, the brothel came and sat infront of her sofa seat facing her.
She frowned at him and glared at his takes.
She simply said to him, "I do not provide those kinds of services, you are wasting your time here and quite frankly mine too."

Storm quickly replied to her "it was my misunderstanding, I am sorry for that, it's just I get surrounded by that kind of people so I assumed you were one too, I truly apologise".

"It is fine, I can understand that, I forgive your words from before", Xenia saw him being serious about his apology so she let the topic go and move on.

"Can I eat with you, I do not wish to eat alone at home" Storm expressed himself as a lonely person when he has many good friends and family members to turn to if he felt that alone.

Xenia knew how sad was eating alone so she pitied him, "of course", she smiled a little at him, which froze him a little.
She was so pretty he could barely hold himself back from hiding her away.
When the waiter came they both ordered some food and Xenia also got a bottle of wine for herself which she offered to share with him to which he was enthusiastic.

"I am Lucio delgado, Storm lucio delgado, I am an executive in delgado conglomerate, what about you", Storm was really excited to get to know her and he wanted to know about everything she was.

"Hi lucio, I am Xenia lukrozow, just call me Xenia, or nia if you want, either is fine, and about the work, hmm, I can't say much, just that I am a programmer in a way", Xenia did not tone down his excitement and replied simply while drinking her wine.

They talked about how he was 27 and she was 26 this year and where they lived, about her family, that she has none whereas he has parents and relatives in another state.

It was nearly midnight when it was time to close the diner that they left that place. Xenia was a little tipsy after all that wine and Storm was okay as he did not drink that much, he took the lead to drive her to her home to which she agreed.

"But lucio, if you drive me then who is going to drive your car and how will you go back home so late?", Xenia asked him in lazy way which told that she was a little drunk.

Storm was just thinking about spending more time with her so he just replied "I will call my driver to drive it back in the morning, don't worry and can't you give a room to your new friend who is driving you back home", Storm pouted and glared at her a little. He does not remember having this side to himself ever in his life.

Xenia smiled at his pouty face and agreed to him staying the night at hers. She sat on the passenger seat and Storm went to the drivers seat and set his location to home in the car screen. He followed the route and learned it by heart.
He reached at her home, he asked her to open the gates for him, to which she told the code to him for the gates, she knew technology and without her say nothing could happen so she was relaxed when telling her code to him.

He parked the car in the basement and carried her out as she was having a hard time balancing on her feet. He took her to her room and put her on her feet.

"One the right next to my room, will be yours, if you have any questions ask galaxy", as if hearing it's name, the robot that Xenia made came to her.
"Hi, I am galaxy, could you introduce yourself for future reference?", galaxy introduced and asked Storm, the stranger.

Storm was astonished seeing the robot and how well it looked and worked he wanted to know more about it but he knew it was not the time so he simply replied to him, " I am Storm lucio delgado, a friend of Xenia for now".

Xenia raised her eyebrow but did not reply to his cheekiness and went into her room after ordering galaxy to help Storm out when he asks.

She went into her room and got out of her dress to take a bath and then sleep.
