His Perfect Secret

The Power of Fate

Ricardo's P.O.V.

I'm getting bored of staying indoors all the time. I need to let loose a little.

Mio Dio! (my gosh!).

Why do I keep thinking about that beauty from the hospital? I need a drink, maybe it'll stop the thoughts of her.

"Lorenzo! Vieni qui adesso!" (come here now!)

"Calmati, Ric what's up with the temper?" (calm down).

Renzo asked being concerned as always. He's like a brother to me, my right-hand man and the only person I can call family.

He's got a story too, a very captivating one at that, yet he doesn't let it get to him. He got my back at any time. Sometimes, the way he protects me makes me feel that he can die for me.

"I just wanna drink tonight. Got any place in mind?"

I'm sure no one is dying any time soon. So, while we are at it, we should enjoy ourselves. He's a social guy, I expect him to know a good place to spend tonight laughing our guts out 'cause staying behind these walls would just get me frustrated.

"Sure, there's this bar in town that we've not been to. I heard they sell good drinks with cool evening jam and it's got a five-star hotel too. Wanna check it out?"

That's Renzo, always sure with his findings.

"Sure fra." (bro).

I insisted on us going guarded, but he insinuated that there's no point 'enjoying' when I still have work on my mind.

It did make sense, but I've learnt that if you got an enemy out there, he'd be watching your every move, searching for the best time to attack. The best time is when you let your guard down, so  I didn't let him know I had two other cars follow us to the bar.

The bar looked really lit and luxurious, but the name of the bar alone is horror, 'Thanatos Bar'. What type of psycho would name a bar, a place of fun and enjoyment 'Thanatos'? C'mon, I know some people out there are dumb but not to this extent.

I bet a dog wouldn't step a paw in such a place let alone have a sip of wine there. Well, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. I need a drink and Renzo recommended this place, it's worth the try.

We hopped into my BMW and zoomed off to the bar. We took a seat at the rear left of the bar not wanting to be noticed. The bar was not as bad as I thought.

I guess the guy behind this masterpiece got some sense after all.

"Renzo, we should come here often, it's quite a place."

"Yeah, fra, let's order something." (bro), he said.

Leona's P.O.V.

I'm really happy 'cause tomorrow I'm going to the orphanage to see my siblings. Wait a minute, those faces look familiar,

Dios mio! (My gosh!)

That's the hot stranger and his hot friend. Oh my, oh my, I thought those guys would forget my good deed and not appreciate me. I better get over there and say hi.

I flipped my hair and walked up to them.

"Hey guys, fancy meeting you here again Mr... oh yeah that's right I didn't catch your name last time."

The hot dude's friend showed more interest in what I was saying, not as if I wanted to talk to the hot stranger anyway.

"It's Lorenzo. It's a pleasure meeting you and you're?"

What a charming, well-mannered gentleman, he's friend should learn from him.

"Sorry, I should've introduced myself first. I'm Leona Williams and the pleasure is mine."

Mr. Strict face is just sitting there like a dumb guy that he is. At least a proper introduction won't hurt.

"Renzo, enough with the introductions." He faced me.

"Get us some drinks, little lady."

No way! He didn't just call me little. I can handle him acting dumb but not opening his rotten mouth to insult me. Who the hell does he think he is?

"Look, l do not take lightly the fact that you walked into my bar and called me little. FYI, I do not work here, I own this place. So, if you want drinks, ask the attendants to get you one. Now if you'll excuse me..."

Yeah! That serves him right. He thinks he can act cool by being dumb. Nope, not around me dude. Lorenzo walked up to me and apologized sincerely for his friend's behaviour. That's really sweet.

The hot stranger didn't come to say thank you. He just drank his wine till he got a call and walked out, from the way he looked it seemed something's wrong.

Lorenzo got a text from his phone and said "I'm truly grateful for the other night and sorry for today. I'll make it up to you Leona, right?"

I nodded with a smile.

"Here's my card, call me if you need anything. Bye Leona."

"Bye Lorenzo" I waved at him.

His name is Lorenzo that's weird, It's a Spanish name. Well, it's surprising that they didn't come here to thank me, they just came to my bar for a drink.
I just need to head home and sleep, sleep always helps me feel better.

A/N:

I'm guessing we're already getting ship names; Ricardo + Leona or Lorenzo +Leona?
