🌿 LEONARDO 🌿

I scrolled through my phone in annoyance as my driver drove into my mansion .

He walked over and opened the door for me .

” Thanks Joma ” I muttered under my breath and he gave a nod respectfully.

My phone pinged with a message as I made my way into my sitting room .

Meeting at the club house by 10pm I read and rubbed my forehead .

I tucked my phone in my pocket , planning to avoid the message on purpose when my phone rang .

I sighed softly as I picked up .

” Why are you after my life ” I said and a teasing laugh came from the other hand.

” Calm down Spanish man ,I’m not the cause of your predicament ” He said,his french accent dripping from each word .

” I have no predicament” I said almost immediately and cursed under my breath for replying immediately ,now he’d know something is up .

” Well I’m sure you do ” he teased .

” Pierre I’m fine , it’s just mom called me for dinner , I don’t even know how the woman knows my every move . It’s like she’s after my life .” I groaned frustratedly.

” Well she’s worried ,you haven’t been in a relationship since …” He trailed off refusing to mention Layla’s name .

” I’m fine , no girlfriend no stress ,how about that ” I asked as I took off my belt while making my way upstairs.

” Oh please ,what’s life without women ,they make life interesting” he said and I rolled my eyes.

” I pity the women who fall for your sweet little lies Pierre Schmitt ” I said and he chuckled.

” Adonis and I will be waiting for you at the club house , hopefully your mom doesn’t get you married before your arrival” he said I groaned in frustration .

” You’re crazy ” I said and cut the call as I looked over to the other side of my room where my potrait hung .

I threw my phone on the bed and Chuckled.

Pierre Schmitt and Adonis stravakos have been my best friend since Uni days at Oxford .

Pierre is a French Billionaire, running his family resturant business and making the tabloid with his cassonavo ways .

Adonis the Greek Billionaire Heir to the stravakos chains of companies is another crazy bestfriend of mine .

While Pierre is more of the outgoing one, Adonis is the arrogant one amongst us, but he’s not like that when it comes to us . I’m the quiet guy in the group and the object of their endless teasings .

I peeled off my sleeves as I made my way into the bathroom .

When I walked out after changing into a button down shirt and geans ,I noticed missed calls from Scarlett and a frown graced my face .

Why are they calling me like their lives depend on it ?

All because they want me to be present at dinner , this whole thing is making me super suspicious.

I walked out of my mansion and throughout the ride to my mom’s Estate ,my mind kept running with different thoughts.

The Delgado mansion stood tall in all it’s glory .

Workers in their blue uniform walked around their business .

” Welcome young master ” one of the guards greeted and I nodded politely at him as I strolled In sluggishly.

I was so tired already and the thought that I had to fly to South Africa tommorow for business was already giving me headache and now mom .

Immediately I got into the sitting room my eyes met my beautiful sister Scarlett walking towards the dinning table with a bowl of fruits in her hands .

” Leon” she said Sweetly as she handed the bowl over to one of the maids and walked over to me as we exchanged cheek kisses .

She looked beautiful in her black dinner dress , looking gorgeous as ever .

” I’m glad you’re on time ,mama would have cut off our heads ” she said with a slight chuckle.

” I won’t stay long though” I said and she turned .

” Why ? She asked turning to me a frown.

” I’m meeting up with the guys at the club house ” i said and shook her head with a small smile.

” The kids and my babe couldn’t meet up ” she said before I could ask after her husband and I gave a nod in understanding .

At least he would’ve helped with his mother inlaw and wife’s plan to roast me .

” Ardo” I heard mom’s voice as she walked down the stairs.

” Goodevning mama , you’re looking gorgeous as always” I said kissing her forehead and she Chuckled.

” Don’t you dare try to bribe me with your sweet words , Scarlett told me your plan to not attend dinner …” She said accusingly and my mouth opened and closed like a fish .

” Scar Seriosely ? I thought you had my back ” I asked and mom pulled me by the ears immediately.

” Ouch mom ….! ” I groaned at the sting on my left ear .

” Since you have refused to hear with these ears of yours , I might as well caught them off ” she said and Scarlett burst out laughing.

” I missed you Ardo ” she said and I hugged her sideways.

” I missed you too ” I said and she frowned .

” Oh really ? Yet work work and more work ,that’s all you think about”

” It’s like you are married to that laptop of yours ” she said frowning.

” I have to make more money mama” I said and she smiled.

” Making money is good son,but you are young, stop leaving a boring life …when last did you take a leave from work ? She asked and I bit my lower lip.

Sincerely speaking I can’t even remember .

” I know you can’t remember” she said and I stared at her with my eyebrows raised .

Since when did she become a mind reader.

We sat for dinner and almost immediately I heard the clicking of heels .

Oh no

I know what’s happening , Please let it not be what I think it is ,I turned and my cheeks flushed in embarrassment seeing a lady exchanging cheek kisses with my mother.

” Goodevning Aunt ” she said excitedly and I had glared at Scarlett who chuckled at my frustration.

” It’s so good to see you Abigail , Ardo arrived earlier and we’ve been waiting for you ” she said and the girl blushed slightly.

” Seriously? I asked Scarlett who gave me the calm down sign.

How was I supposed to calm down? When mom just said we where waiting patiently for this …

Ara. … Anna whatever her name is again .

” Chill ” she whispered softly and I tried to divert my mind .

” Ardo ” mom called and I turned politely.

No matter what,I wasn’t the type to treat a woman badly . I just didn’t have it in me to treat anyone less .

” Hey I’m Abigail Victoria Secrets angel ” she said smiling flirtily.

It was obvious she was Spanish ,I mean it showed from her accent .

” Leonardo Delgado” I said and shook her hands .

” You’re so handsome in person ,the Videos , magazines and social media photos didn’t do you justice ” she said in awe and I tried my best not to make things Akwared.

This wasn’t the first time I’m getting a reaction like this anyways .

It happens a lot ,It’s worse when Pierre , Adonis and I go out together ,they treat us like fvcking celebrities.

Funny thing is we have nothing to do with the entertainment industry.

” She’s from Cuba,Ardo her father happens to be one of our top investors ” mom went on and on preaching about the girl .

And the more I pretended to listen to their boring talks ,the more my head banged with headache.

I’m beginning to wonder if the universe is against me or something.

Dinner ended about an hour later and I became the happiest man alife when I got up to leave.

” Ardo ” mom called .

” Abby will be free this weekend , and I was thinking you guys could link up for dinner” mom said and Abby smiled in my direction.

I opened my mouth to refuse but Knowing mom and her blackmailing techniques ,I turned to Abby.

” I’d get to you ” I said and as I shook her hand politely ,her cheeks flushed red.

” Goodnight mama” I said kissing her cheeks.

” Night Scar ” I said and she winked in my direction .

Mom’s obsession with getting me married is beginning to take a turn for the worst .

Abby isn’t even the kind of woman I would date , she had her eyes on me the entire dinner .

Women Always have their eyes on you ” my mind mocked and I looked away with a frown on my face .

Getting to our club house ,I noticed Their cars packed outside.

” Hey Delgado ” Pierre raised his glass with a smirk in my direction.

” And the groom arrives ” Adonis said smirking as he lit a ciggerrate.

” I’m no groom ,stop teasing me you’re getting on my nerves” I said and the Greek Billionaire laughed at my expense.

” Remind me why I’m friends with the both of you again ? I said as I sat down on my chair .

” Well because we can tolerate your sorry A*s” Pierre said and walked over to me .

” How’d go ? You finally liked the girl they brought this time around ? He asked with concern.

” Don’t start with me , of cause I didn’t. She’s a Victoria secrets Angel …” I said immediately.

” What’s wrong with her being a Victoria’s secret Angel ? Adonis asked .

” I’m done with women ” I said and they stared at me in shock while Pierre gasped .

‘” take that back mate ,how can you be done with women ….c’mon ” he said dramatically.

” So you’re into men now ? Please don’t fall inlove with me I can’t do without p*ssy ” he said and Adonis rolled his eyes.

” Stop being dramatic” I said and he smirked .

” So what are you gonna do now ,speak now . I understand you’re gay Adonis and I are willing to help .. ” he trailed .

” Pierre ” Adonis and I said in unison and he stared at us .

” See why I said people don’t value their destiny helpers when they are right in front of them ” he said and I facepalmed myself.

” I’m not gay ,I’m straight you should know that by now ” I said and he gave a nod.

” Yeah ,but how do you expect us to believe it is functioning properly when you avoid women like a plague ” He asked gesturing towards my lower region.

” This is so Embarrassing” I muttered under my breath.

” Not as Embarrassing as your mom , Hooking you up with different women ,before you know it you’d be recorded in the Guinness book of world records as the first man to go on date for 45 years ” he said and Adonis burst out laughing.

” You said you wanted to help me ” I said frowning.

” Say please” he said and I scoffed .

Adonis noticed and put off his ciggerrate.

” C’mon sweet boy …say please” he said wiggling his eyebrows.

” Fine Please ” I said and he frowned .

” Say it romantically ,like I’m your Charlotte and you are my George …Do you love me ? He asked and I groaned .

” I’m not playing movie night with you ,stop quoting Queen Charlotte” I said and Adonis loosen his tie as he laughed at my expense.

” Well you can always get a fake girlfriend …I mean pay someone to pretend to be your girlfriend at least for 6months …or a year ,then just when your mom thinks marriage is the next step .

” Poof you guys break up ” he said and Adonis shook his head .

” That my Friend is a terrible idea ” he said immediately.

” And then I’d pretend to be heartbroken for another whole year ” I said suddenly buying into it .

” You’re not listening to the French man …” He said and I smiled.

” Fake girlfriend ,I like the sound of that”
