Deceptions of the Heart

Seduction

It was another night at the bar. Richard was sat at his usual table away from the crowd. Roxanne had been ignoring him for good that night. It hadn't been so long since the encounter of their late midnight romance hence why he assumed that the girl hadn't gotten over it. As much as he wanted to talk to her he refused thinking that things might get worse. For now he was alone drinking his glass of hard liquor.

In the meantime behind the door of the backstage Lizzy was spying on the situation between Richard and Roxanne. She had a satisfied expression on her face. She had been spying on them ever since their first date to the moment of their intimate interaction. Now that they had parted ways she decided that it was the right time to put Max's plan into action.

The singer got on stage and the lights in the bar dimmed. Soft music started playing and she began. Immediately Richard's eyes fell upon the young blondie. Lizzy's voice and movements lured him like the first time he stepped in this bar. At the same time though he was reminded how he once danced with Roxanne to the same rhythm. He was reminded once again of their dates. He was reminded of the time they spent together and that night.

Lizzy noticed that Richard was lost in his thoughts. She had to make a check mate move. She made even more seductive moves. She slowly started approaching Richard's table as she sang and danced to the rhythm of the song. The male couldn't take his eyes off of her as he started to forget about his thoughts with Roxanne. He was under Lizzy's mercy.

The woman returned to the stage and finished her song in an alluring and impressive way making her audience once again apploud. The lights turned on and the bar was illuminated again. Richard sighed and went back to his loneliness.

After some minutes Lizzy approached his table. The man felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to face the young singer.

"May I sit here?" Asked Lizzy.

"Sure" replied Richard.

The young woman sat at the table next to Richard.

"I've noticed that you and Roxanne don't tall anymore" Lizzy started a conversation.

"None of your business" Richard replied coldly.

Lizzy chuckled.

"Come on. I know where such things start off. You had drunk sex didn't you?" She teased.

Richard raised an eyebrow.

"You were spying on us all the time didn't you?" He asked.

"So what if I did? Max's orders" Lizzy shrugged her shoulders.

"So Max had all of this planed!?" Richard greeted his teeth.

Lizzy chuckled once again.

"Come on. What's so bad about it? I needed to have some fun besides".

"What does he want from me!?" Snapped Richard.

"Him? Oh nothing. I want something from you" replied Lizzy with a mischievous smirk.

"And that is?"

"A passionate night with you".

Lizzy's suggestion caught Richard off guard. That was it? He would have to spend a night with Lizzy and his rival would let him be? But in that way he would have to cheat on Roxanne. He was lost in thought. Lizzy noticed this and snapped him out.

"What are you thinking about?" She asked.

Richard thought for a bit more and then spoke.

"I don't know. That will require cheating on Roxanne" the man replied.

"It will only be an one night thing. It won't mean a single thing".

Richard was thinking about Lizzy's words deeply.

"Come on. Will you stay like this? Will you let your rival destroy you? Just one night with me and you'll be free" Lizzy snapped the male out again.

Richard sighed and reached a conclusion.

"Fine. I'll do what you want".

Lizzy smirked.

"Good decision" she said and knowing that she had successfully manipulated Richard she stood up from the table and left the bar.

Richard was once again lost in his thoughts. He couldn't believe what he was going to do. He was actually going to spend a night with a foreign girl. This wasn't new to him. He knew it. He was very well known for his womanizing antics. He had slept with countless girls and he was well aware of the things that happened in the life of a mafioso. But this time it was different. He was on love. He was conflicted. He was snapped out of his thoughts once a waitress approached him.

"Roxanne wants to see you at the closing". She said and left.

That's when Richard glanced towards the counter and saw Roxanne's meanancing expression.
