Loneliness [A Leonetta Fanfiction]

Chapter 6: Mr. Vargas

"Dear Diary,

things have been going AMAZING with Leon. He makes me so happy. We've been going on a lot of dates lately. Leon isn't just my boyfriend, he's also my best friend. I feel like I can tell him everything. Angie helped my dad accept the fact that I'm dating Leon, but he's still very uncomfortable with it. Speaking of my dad and Angie, their relationship has been going great. They both seem so happy to have each other. It's adorable."

"I wonder what you write in that diary" Leon says, sitting on my bed and throwing one of my teddys up and down into the air. I stop writing and look up at him.

"You'll never know" I grin.

"Do you write about me in there?" He asks.

"Maybe" I say "Now turn away, I need to hide it."

Leon covers his eyes as I hide my diary under my bed.

"Okay you can open them now"

Leon stands up from the bed and kisses me.

After about a minute we both pull away.

I start to think about "Lion6969", I'm still not over that obnoxious username. I feel guilty for talking to another guy online without Leon knowing. I mean, I don't have a thing for him "Lion6969" It's just I think Leon needs to know.

"Hey, does it bother you that I'm talking to this guy online?" I ask.

"Wait? What?" Leon says with a sad and shocked look on his.

"Don't worry, it's not a flirty kind a thing. We just talk about this book on this fan website."

"Oh, I guess. but be careful" He says.

"I will, I haven't spoken to him in a while though" I say.

I start to think about Leon's family. I've never met them. He told me his mother passed away when he was young and that he lived with his father and his business partner Lucas.

"Leon, Since you've met my family maybe It's time I meet yours"

"I don't think that's a good idea" He says.

"Why not?" I ask.

"It's just my dad......he's not like yours" Leon says in a serious tone. He no longer seems his chirpy usual self.

"That's a good thing" I chuckle.

Leon doesn't laugh, he just stares at me.

I take his hand.

"Please?" I ask.

"Fine" He sighs. "Just remember I warned you."

 I knock on Leon's front door. His house is bigger than mine. Leon opened the door and smiled though I could tell he was nervous.

"Come in" he says.

I walked through the front door and Leon closed it behind me. We then kissed.

"Hello!" A chirpy voice says.

I pull away from Leon and stare at the man standing in front of us.

"Violetta, This is Lucas. Lucas, this is Violetta" Leon's hand. Oh so this is Lucas. I studied his Lucas' features, he had black hair and bright blue eyes. He was tall and wore a stubble on his face.

"It's so nice to finally meet you!" Lucas says as he shakes my hand.

"It's nice to meet you too, I've heard so much about you"

"Good things I hope" He grins.

"Of course" I smile.

When we enter the kitchen, food is already placed on the table. I take a seat next the Leon and wonder where his dad is.

"Where's Mr. Vargas?" I ask.

"I'm here" A man says as he walks into the room and takes a seat. He says nothing and begins to eat.

"Dad, this is Violetta" Leon says, he seems different. He doesn't seem like his usual self.

Mr. Vargas stops eating and looks at me. Then he begins to eat again.

"So, Violetta" Lucas says breaking the silence. "Leon tells me you have an interest in singing".

"Yeah, I might try join the studio in September. That is if I get it and If my dad allows me to"

"That's wonderful!, good luck" Lucas says with a genuine smile.

"Thank you" I say graciously.

"Don't tell me you're still interesting in singing" Mr Vargas says to Leon.

"I'm still interested in singing" Leon says not taking his eyes off his plate.

Mr. Vargas slams his fist against the table.

"I told you already. I don't want you singing!, you need to be a business man if you want to succeed!" He shouts.

I can't believe what I'm hearing. Leon's dad isn't what I thought he would be.

"I don't want to be a-"

"Oh shut up!" Mr. Vargas says, interrupting Leon.

 "Hey, don't speak to him like that!" I finally say.

"Shut up, whore" He says bitterly.

"How dare you say that to her" Leon stands up furiously.

"Leon maybe you and Violetta should leave" Lucas says. Leon and I walk out of his house and get into his car. We say nothing as we drive back to my house. When we arrive we both sit in the car.

"I'm sorry about that" Leon finally says.

"Hey, you have nothing to apologize for" I say as I place my hand on his shoulder.

"I guess now you know why I didn't want you to meet him" He sighs.

"Do you wanna stay at mine tonight?" I ask. "I could try convince my dad to let you sleep on the couch or something".

"Thanks but we both know that will never happen."

"We can try" I say.

We get out of the car and walk into my house. I explain to my dad why Leon needs to stay here tonight.

"Okay, fine. He can stay here tonight" My dad says. I was so surprised.

"Thank you so much, sir." Leon says.

"It's fine. Ramallo will show you to the guest room." My dad says. Leon then follows Ramallo upstairs.

"I can't believe you're letting Leon stay here tonight!" I say.

I instantly hug my dad tightly.

"Thank you, dad. I love you"
