"Where is he?". Alcina asked anxiously as she trailed behind him.

"In his room"

She gulped.
"Did he say why?". She asked nervously.

"No. You'll find out when you get there". Valentino said. After a while, he spoke again, "Here we are". He stopped at a door. "Should I wait here?"

"No you can go". She waved him off as she prepared herself to enter the room. He mock saluted and sauntered down the hall. She stared down at her dressing. Shorts and a large shirt.
Alcina exhaled slowly and knocked softly. The last thing she wanted was barging into his room.

"It's open". He mumbled from the inside.
She pushed the door open and stepped into the room. The room was manly and there was the distinct scent of Leonardo's cologne in the air.

"I'm over here you know". Alcina whipped around and found Leonardo pacing his balcony. Only one problem, he was wearing sweatpants and was shirtless. He sat on one of the chairs as she approached him. She was nervous and uneasy.

"Have a seat". He gestured to the other chair. When she hesitated, he added, "Come on, I don't bite"

She sat cautiously and stared at her sweaty palms.
"I heard its your birthday today. Happy birthday". He spoke softly. She lifted her eyes to meet his blue eyes.

"Thanks. I wasn't really expecting the party and all". She replied as she struggled to prevent her gaze from wondering to his bare tattoed chest. "Could you wear a shirt?"

"I could but I won't. Does it make you feel uncomfortable?". Leonardo asked her with a small smirk. She rolled her eyes but blushed nonetheless.

"I funded the party and had our maids bake the cake". He continued.

"A cake which has been ruined". Alcina sighed deeply. "I was looking forward to cutting it"

"Who ruined it?". He asked as his eyes flared up. It had taken a lot of coercion for him to allow them plan the party and someone ruined the cake?

"Lucas". Alcina replied a bit unsure.

There was silence for a while. His muscles flexed as he stood from the chair. He walked back into the room fully aware of Alcina's stare at the back of his head. She watched as he rummaged through a drawer and brought out two small wrapped packages. She studied his tattoos. Alcina had never been attracted to guys with tattoos but Leonardo was in a whole new league of his own. They weren't too much, just some symbols here and there.

"I have something for you". As he came back to sit, she studied the one's on his chest. One particular started from a spot on the left side of his chest, spreading out in this lines. Almost like a claw.

He pushed the gift across to her from his side of the table. Her eyes followed it as they slid towards her. She picked the first one and with one last glance at his chiseled features she pried the wrapping off.

"Oh my gosh". She muttered softly as she stared at it. Alcina looked at him in disbelief and then back to it. It was an iPhone. The latest one. She would've never been able to afford the luxuries of such a phone from the pocket money her stepmother gave her.

"Thank you Leo!" She squealed, beaming ear to ear.

He nodded. "Open the next one".

Now eager to see the other gift, she wasted no time in removing the wrapping. This one was in a small box. With curiosity clawing at her, she flipped it open revealing a beautiful pendant. Leonardo watched as her eyes lit up as she stared at it. It was green with gold details around it. Her fingertips grazed it slowly as she marveled at it.
