His Perfect Secret

The Sleeping Bellezza

Ricardo's P.O.V.

My eyes open and I noticed a beauty sleeping beside me. I was starred so intensely that I didn’t realize I was in the hospital. How did I end up here? If I had let Lorenzo tag along, maybe I would not be in this mess right now.

“Hmmm, gotta find a way outta here fast.” Oops, I thought aloud.

Mio dio(my gosh), my fussing must have woken the beauty up. She woke up, tucked her hair behind her ears then looked at me. I saw stress and tiredness written all over her face. She looked young and sexy; in the bodycon gown she wore.

She briefly looked around the room and asked a stream of questions, “How do you feel? Do you need anything? I’m here, just ask, and I’ll get it for you.”

Thinking that was all she had to say, she started relaying the events of last night.

Merda! (crap!) I need to get out of here. I need Lorenzo. I attempted getting up, but I groaned in pain and it caught her attention. She panicked then called the doctor immediately.

He rushed in with two nurses and did a checkup on me. The doctor told the beauty that I can be discharged now, that the pains will reduce if I take care of myself properly and avoid anything that would open the injuries.

When the doctor left, she started blabbering again.

“I am really sorry, it’s all my fault. If I had just let you into the bar and given you a drink, maybe all this wouldn’t be happening.”

Did she really think I’d forgive her so easily? Not so fast bellezza (beauty). Where I come from, paga il tuo errore con un prezzo (pay your mistake with a price). She asked if I had any relation, she could contact that would pick me up. I just rolled my eyes and bluntly ignored her.

Leona's P.O.V

C’mon, what’s with the dude's attitude. He is acting immature. Jeez, I didn’t send him wandering about at that hour so why is he ignoring me. A little information about who’d pick him up would help. I can’t help it, I’ll ask again ‘cause I can’t just leave him here, the bills and his well being.

Oh boy, am I kidding. I do not know this dude from Jupiter, so why am I acting all concerned?

I’ll just ask him for the last time, if he ignores me, I’ll pay the bills and leave. That’s fair.

“Umm… at least do you know anyone at all, like any random person you know that I can contact, so they’d come to pick you up?”, another silence.

“I guess that’s a no. Well, I’ll be downstairs paying the bills. It’s the least I can do since you’ve somehow become dumb.”

I’m too tired and quite sure my nerves are dancing right now if that’s possible.

Yes! I just called him dumb. (Pfft), serves him right for being all nonchalant about his state. I heard him mumbling some numbers out, to my surprise, gosh some guys just need a push (rolling my eyes).

What if I didn’t call him dumb, maybe he would have just continued ignoring me.

“Are you just gonna stand there and look at me or you’re gonna get your phone out and dial the number.”

That’s so mean. This type of guy mesmerizes and breaks a girl’s heart all at once. I did as he said, dialed the number and a guy picked.

I asked him for his name but he rudely ignored me. I wonder how such a cocky guy like him has a friend that would wanna help him.

‘Cause I won’t.

He stretched out his hands asking for my phone, he wanted to talk to his so-called friend, I didn’t want to give him, but I rolled my eyes and gave it to him.

He spoke words that sounded like Italian then he hung up and handed my phone back to me. He said that he’s friend was on his way.

When his friend showed up, he kept thanking me like a thousand times and apologizing for the inconvenience.

How are they friends? The cocky dude and the nice dude. That does not match at all.

It wouldn’t be good if the hot dude lives with his jerky attitude, it’ll chase girls away. He’s mean, arrogant, proud, ungrateful, a total snub and full of himself.

Unbelievable, I was able to identify all these traits of him just within a few hours that I’ve spent with him. What a shame, I couldn’t get any good trait at all.

The hot stranger was finally leaving the hospital and I had this feeling that he'll say something nice to me before leaving.

No! What am I thinking?! Snap out of it! Who cares about what he says, I know I am really pretty. I mean, who cares if he says any mean comment to me.

I waved his friend bye, he waved back with a smile, but Mr. Strict Face didn’t even wink. He just walked by and said.

“Do not bother about the bills, I’m paying.”

Seriously, not even a thank you. Well, bye Mr. Hot Stranger. I earnestly pray to never cross paths with you in this life or the next.
