*Leo's PoV*

"I need to see you." I said, desperately.
"But why not?! Just one last chance." I pleaded. "I know I said that last time- no I didn't! I promise. I just need this chance, please!" I begged Victoria down the phone. I needed to see her, I needed to make things right.

Why can I never hold a girl down? I literally fuck it up with every girl I like- or love, in Victoria's case. Although, Vic was a bit of a psycho. However, so am I. That's why we're so perfect for each other.

That's it! That's what I'll say to her. It's the truth. Girls love the truth, don't they? That's what I've learned after my 31 years of life. I know that rule, but why don't I exercise it? I still continue on lying to girl after girl- whether it be my name, my age, whether I'm seeing other girls...

I read a book once. It was called The Wolf Of Wallstreet. It's an autobiography by a man called Jordan Belfort. Unfortunately, I imagine I am a lot like Jordan. Too caught up in my own money and success, fucking hookers and becoming violent, forgetting about what I have right in front of me.

And I have two beautiful girls.

Don't get me wrong, Olivia is amazing. It's such a shame- for me and for her, that I can't get over Victoria.

"Leonardo, you need a wake up call." Victoria said, harshly. "You need to go back to prison, the sooner you turn yourself in, the less time
they'll make you do. It's only been six months, they won't make you do that much longer!" She tried to persuade me. "You're just destroying yourself, Leo. I hate seeing you like this." I sighed.

"Let me see you one more time. Then I'll fly back to LA, I'll go back to prison. Please. I need go see you." I begged.

There was a momentary silence on the other end of the line. "Fine." She said. "You promise you'll go back?"

"I promise." I said.

"Meet me at Em's Café at 12." She said, and hung up before I could say anything.

Yes!! Now I can win her back! My chance is finally here, after four years of waiting. After only ever hearing her voice over the phone. What will I say to her? What do I wear?! I need to shave!!

*Olivia's Pov*

Ughh, another Monday. Volunteering at Em's Café again, without pay. I honestly don't know why I keep putting up with this- it's becoming a full time job!

I got up and applied some mascara and lip gloss, brushed my blonde hair, brushing down my fringe to tame it and putting in a black Alice band. I put on some dark boot cut jeans and a white crop top, pairing it with a black belt and a pink cardigan. I slipped on some ballet pumps, grabbed my purse and stumbled out the door. Hopefully nothing overly exciting happens today, I honestly don't have the effort for it.

I walked into the café and yelled "hi Em!" Before tying on an apron and standing behind the counter.

"Hello there," I said to the next customer.

"Yeah hi, can I have a..." I zoned out, noticing a tall man with blonde hair and attractive stubble walk through the door.
Leonardo.
My thoughts drowned out his voice. "Excuse me?" He said, catching my attention.

"I'm so sorry. I'll be right back." I said, never looking away from Leonardo, as he sat down at a table for two.

"Hey," I said, opening my note pad. "May I help you?" I said with a smirk. He looked up, his face turning to one of utter shock when he saw me. He said nothing, and got up and began walking towards the exit. "Leo?" I called after him, but it was no use.

Then I noticed a woman stood at the door, just inside the café. She had long blonde hair and big blue eyes, and was wearing a red crop top and a plaid mini skirt, paired with some black sandals.

"Leonardo?" She said, as Leo bumped into her. He looked up and grunted, and returned back on his tracks to leave the café. The woman looked confused, almost as confused as me, and huffed.

"May I help you?" I said, smiling.

"Well, I was supposed to be meeting that man in here today. I wonder what got into him..." She said.

"What, Leonardo DiCaprio?" I said.

"Oh God, you're not another fan girl are you? I can't stand them. They're awful to see whenever I go out with Leo- or rather, used to."

I couldn't be more confused.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't be more confused." I said. "Who are you?"

"Oh, how rude of me! I'm Victoria Hutchingson." She said, offering her delicate hand for me to shake.

Victoria? I said to myself, thinking back to that time in the park when I heard Leonardo on the phone to someone called Victoria.
"How do you know Leonardo?"

"I'm sorry sweetie I'm not here to answer questions." She said, making her way past me.

"No no no," I said, stopping her. "I know Leonardo. I'm his girlfriend."

She laughed. "Don't be absurd!" And brushed past me once again.

"No, honestly. This is where we first met. I can show you where his flat is. I know that he loves the environment." I tried.

"Anyone could just read that darling. Besides, if you were his girlfriend, why was he here to meet me, his ex fiancé?" She laughed.

Ex fiancé? He never told me about that.
Why the fuck was he meeting up with his ex fiancé?! This is not on.

"Yeah. Good point." I said, throwing off my apron and storming out of the restaurant.

I got a few steps down the street when I heard, "Olivia!" I looked behind me to see Victoria, stumbling towards me in her high heeled sandals.

"How do you know my name?" I asked.

"It says it on your name badge." She said, panting for breath. "I know where Leo goes when he's angry."
