Plans Change
Leo's POV
The sound of Alex rummaging through my cupboards whilst singing 'Sexy Back' sounded through my apartment, and I chuckled silently before wincing again as the black plastic torture device yanked at my curls. 'Velvet Touch my ass,' I thought cursing the paddle like brush for about the twelfth time before giving up and chucking it at my bed; but, not before I heard a loud gasp come from the door and chips crunching, "Did you just actually attempt to tame that luscious beast," Alex exclaimed dramatically, spitting out Doritos on the floor, as he covered his mouth with his free hand.
I rolled my eyes, "Control yourself Alexander I mean obviously I know you want some of this," I gestured to myself, "but I have a date so your gonna have to back off." Alex held his hands up in a whoa-there gesture, "Sorry man I guess i'll just have to restrain myself from your fine ass."
Suppressing a laugh I scoffed and faked a look of disgust as I pretended to flip my hair over my shoulder, "What a pig," I impersonated in my best girl voice, which if I do say so myself is quite impressive. Alex doubled over laughing, clutching onto my dresser for support and stuffed more chips into his mouth as his laughter died down, "Aw damn man that was good you actually sounded just like 'mandra, who by the way won't shut up about you. It's just like dammit if I hear 'omg why does Leo have to go out with a beverly bitch like how unfair for him' 'like why won't he go out with my i'm so pretty' 'oh he's such a cutie pie and blah blah blah blah blah' one more time she will not have a mouth to annoy the hell out of me with anymore. Gods if I didn't think it'd piss off my mom I would have covered her in meat sauce, stuffed her in a bag in the wild and just let nature take it's course years ago."
Shaking my head I turned back to the mirror to fix my shirt, "I don't care what you say man I, and everyone else, know that if anything even remotely happened to her, you'd bust down every door in the whole country to knock out anyone who was even .5 % involved in it."
Steel grey eyes glared at me and he said, "Whatever douche now if I recall you're supposed to be going on a date soon so how about you find out when and where before going all Doctor Phil on me," before tossing me my phone that was on the bedside table, and I smirked showing him the text that said her address and to pick her up at 7 o'clock.
"Already taken care of. What man do you think i'm some sort of amateur," I joked walking out and going into the living room.
Coming closely behind Alex mocked, "Already taken care of," as he sauntered over to the couch where his jacket lay discarded over the arm rest and picked it up, "Well i'm out broski and remember, if you're a smarty don't be tardy."
I snorted, adjusting the belt at my hips, "Yeah that's not going to happen I think she's the kind that will skin me alive if i'm even a millasecond late." Alex chuckled a goodbye and waved but before he got into the car he hollered to act cool and not annoy her.
As I watched him speed down the street in his black infiniti I laughed at the old man, who's apartment was across from mine, yell out that there was a reason there was a speed limit for hooligans like him, before straightening out my clothes. 'Well Valdez it's time for work,' I thought to myself, looking in the mirror one last time before I grabbed my keys and headed out the door.
Reyna's POV
"You know you don't have to do this right. I could talk to him for you if you want. But I mean, only if you want my opinion shouldn't influence you in any way," Jason hinted, looking up at me hopefully with those electric blue eyes. I scoffed as I ran the comb through my thick wet hair and smiled slightly to myself, it always looked jet black before it dried. Just like my mom's.
"Calm down Jason we're just going on a date not eloping," and from the corner of my eyes I saw him fall back into the purple love-seat as he ran a hand through his cropped blond hair.
"Why are you getting dressed up for this guy you don't even know him. He could be a serial killer for all we know that's an a rampage and preys on young beautiful rich girls before leaving them in the desert where their bodies are never found. Did you happen to consider that? Does your dad even know your going?"
My expression changed from calm-down-drama-queen to my best are-you-fucking-kidding-me look in a matter of seconds as I walked into the bathroom and turned on the blow-dryer to full blast, "When has my dad ever cared about where I go, when I go, or who I go with. I mean I could probably tell him i'm going to go see George Cluney and together we're going to kidnap the president with a fool proof plan that we've had for months and all he'd tell me was that if I got pregnant that he wasn't going to maintain me and the child. As a matter of fact, he would most likely tell the F.B.I on me if they gave him a reward. So no Jason he does not know that i'm going on a date."
Jason raised his hands in surrender, "Alright i'm sorry new topic, when is he going to pick you up?"
"In about 20 minuted so you better get going because I need to get dressed," I all but yelled over the loud blow.
"Actually...i'm going to be here for awhile- and don't give me that look it's not to monitor you it's for a job i'm doing for your dad so later Rey," he mumbled the last part quickly and scurried towards the door.
"Wait," I said turning off the blow-dryer and faced him, "what job exactly are you doing for him." Jason visibly tensed and his hold on the door was so tight his knuckles went bleach white, he cleared his throat before saying, "Oh um it's nothing important just some house work you know, trying to get some extra money. My mom has had some trouble finding auditions and we're a little tight so I asked Jonathan for something and i'm going to be mowing the lawn and stuff."
"House work? Really? Because you know he pays people to come mow the lawn already and actually I think they came just a couple days ago."
"Did they?" he answered, biting down on his lower lip, "well it must have been something else then- I have to go Rey don't want to keep him waiting."
"Jason," I called out but he closed the door and I heard his shoes padding quickly down the stairs.
'What are you getting yourself into golden boy,' I questioned and sighed as I walked to the overly grand closet to look for something to wear.
Leo's POV
"Turn left in 2.5 miles," the GPS voiced out and I couldn't help but marvel at all the unbelievably amazing houses. One I had passed by was made of all glass and the inside was like a huge Ipad with touch screen everything, another was built to look like it was tilted and even the door was slanted to a 60 degree angle. "Keep going straight for 1.5 miles." 'Oh wow that's a really nice-'
"Turn right and you have reached your destination," oh of course I did. You couldn't really grasp how beautiful it was until you went through the metal gates; it stretched out far with trees and flowers everywhere making it look lively. The design seemed Tuscan with a hint of Hispanic and the lights made it look like the house was glowing almost or made of gold. Circling around the small garden of multi-colored flowers that was in the center I pulled up front and closed my eyes.
'Alrighty Valdez you can do this just don't mess this up like you do everything else.' Taking a deep breath I stepped out and walked towards the large dark brown mahogany door as I mumbled "You can do this." repeatedly under my breath but before I could knock it was thrown open and Reyna stood there looking very small compared to the expanse of the house behind her. From what I could see there were stone statues placed on either sides of the gleaming staircase and the floor was a creamish gold that stretched on to whatever was in the next room.
Reyna cleared her throat and I snapped down to look at her, not realizing that I had been lost in my own thoughts. "I said i'm sorry if I scared you. The gate has a car weight censor and it rings through the house so I assumed it was you."
"Well you assumed right dulzera," I smirked trying to compose myself and gave her a smile even though her glare was stone cold and stepped aside, "this way milady." Reyna's intimidating eyes gave me a quick once over before she walked down the steps toward my 2009 cherry red Mercedes Benz. 'Well at least she didn't scream and run gagging.'
"Mercedes Benz huh," she analyzed running her fingertips along the door, "2010 or 2011?"
I stared at her shocked, unlocking the door, "Uh 2009 actually." I saw her nod before swiftly stepping in. 'This might not actually go up in flames as I thought it would,' I thought before the engine roared to life, "Is there any place in particular you want to go to?"
"Listen Leo let's not waste much time alright. I don't want to be here. I am only here because you all but blackmailed me into coming. So really it doesn't matter where we go because you said that if I didn't enjoy myself then you'd never bother me again, and I know i'm not going to enjoy myself so I don't care where we go. As long as it's fast service." Isn't she straight-forward. 'And I thought this was going to be bad, clearly I was wrong,' sarcasm is always best at these times.
I felt my smile slip and I stared straight ahead as I pulled onto the street, "Mcdonalds it is."
Feeling her eyes on me, I turned to see her mouth was slightly a-gape and the perfect are-you-bat-shit-crazy look was plastered on her imperfectionless face but I just grinned sending her back a you-bet-bitch.
'This is going to be an interesting night.'
The Next Day
"I can't do this man I just can't she is like the blandest person I have ever met. For gods sake Oatmeal looks at her personality and get's jealous!"
Alex stared at me amused and crossed his arms, "So i'm guessing that was a no on the did you get some," I huffed and flung myself onto the couch, rubbing my eyes. "I might just have to tell Don that she is unattainable and to forget about her."
At that though his eyes bugged out and he jerked up walking around the coffee table to stand in front of me, "Oh no no no no you can not do that man, he will kick your ass. And not like the threat 'i'm gonna kick your ass' but the I-can't-even-walk-for-another-week-and-might-have-some-internal-bleeding kick your ass. Do you understand me!"
I rolled my eyes and scoffed, "Don't be so dramatic Alexander what's the big deal? There have been other times when people have said that and the worst that's happened is that he just blows his top, that's not out of the ordinary."
His hands gripped my shoulders, "No man there's something different about this one, I have a strong feeling that Don has like a personal grudge against them and I haven't figured out why yet..but I will. Either way he wants these people taken down and until you get that girls secrets and have her seated in front of him no matter how hard it's going to be, he will be breathing down you're neck in anticipation."
"But she doesn't even want to see me. I told her that if she didn't enjoy herself on the date then I would never bother her again."
"What makes you think that she didn't enjoy herself?"
"Well apart from the fact that she all but said it, she was on her phone the entire time until it ran out of battery and then when i'd ask her questions she'd give me one word answers then stare intently at her food."
Alex laughed and I shoved him backwards, "It's not funny! If she's as important as you think she is then how am I supposed to get into the top rank if this richy bitch won't say my name without having an urge to kick a puppy."
"Are you saying that this girl is to much for the all mighty Leo Gutierrez to handle," he mocked raising his arms towards the ceiling in front of me.
"Of course not i'm just-"
"-just just what Leo? Whining like a hills girl who didn't get the right infiniti for her sweet sixteen? No i'm sorry I think I may be talking to the wrong guy because the one I know would think of any way possible to somehow, no matter how harshly or how many times she says no, get a girl to go out with him! So i'm going to ask again. Is one girl that is way way out of your league to much to handle."
"Heck no!" I yelled shouting as I jumped up and pumped my fist in the air.
"And why is that?" he questioned.
"Because I am the almighty Leo!"
"Damn right you are!"
"I'm the bad boy king!"
"Well i'm pretty sure I am but-"
"I'm the definition of hot stuff!"
"Maybe you should calm down now."
"I'm the badass supreme!"
"Let's not get too ahead of ourselves."
"I am the mother fucking man!"
"Well I think that's enough. Now, are you going to get this girl," he demanded putting his hands on my shoulders and sitting me down.
"You bet I am."
Raising an eyebrow he questioned, "And how are you going to do it?"
"By beating some fun into that lifeless barbie."
"That's not exactly the approach I was looking for."
I laughed and stood up, reaching for my jacket, "Don't worry about it man I have a plan," I declared snatching my keys and heading out the door. I could hear Alex whoop to go get her and I chuckled, 'Gods I hope this works.'
...
My hand hesitated as I reached for the door and I found myself already dreading the silver bell that would inevitably ring and signal that I was here, after that there was no way I could back. So my hand rested on the handle and after drawing in a shaky breath I walked in.
Just like before, caffeine filled the air and the sound of the coffee machines grinding ice or steaming whatever the heck it was they put in them along with constant typing vibrated off the walls, and there she was. Long raven hair pulled back, almost black eyes calculating everything and everyone, full lips in a fake smile as she took a new customers order, long lashes batting rapidly, and tan skin giving a glowing affect as the sun hit her slightly from the windows. God this girl could make an army bow down at her feet just by winking at them.
When the bell rang her eyes snapped up and the fake smile turned into a real snarl as she practically growled, "Hello sir welcome to Starbucks."
I grinned and walked to the line that only had two people ahead, pretending to look over the menu. Reyna shot me a look of annoyance before apologizing to the customer for dazing out and continued to take their exaggerated order, and as she made it she would look up at me every other second to see if I had left yet. This happened with the people in front of me too until it was my turn at the counter.
"Hola hermosa how's work treating you."
"Why are you here Leo!" she snapped, keeping her voice down so only I could hear.
"For one caramel frappacino and one date on Friday," I proposed with a wink and she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Sorry but we're all out of dates why don't you come back in another life time," she retorted rolling her eyes as she went to make my drink. "You know you shouldn't roll you're eyes so much they might just get stuck up there," I joked but she pursed her lips.
"Do you want whipped cream on top sir?"
"Aw come on Rey rey give me another chance you owe me you know," I insisted and pouted out my bottom lip.
For a millisecond I saw the corner of her mouth tug at a smile but it was gone as fast as it came, "How do I possibly owe you Leo you said to go out and we did. Now you're supposed to leave me alone."
"No you owe me because you didn't even try to enjoy yourself; actually, you pretty much forced yourself into hating the date when in reality it could have been super spankin' awesome, and you know it."
"You never said I had to try to like it just that I had to go."
Smirking I pulled out the five dollars, "Well now I am. We are going on a date this friday and you will at least try to enjoy yourself and after that if you don't then, and only then, will I truly leave you alone. You can even get a restraining order against me if that's what you please."
"You're really not going to let this go are you," she asked half surprised half intrigued and I shook my head, "Nope," I said popping the P.
As I began to walk out I heard her unsurely call out, "Leo," when I turned around she had a devilish smirk that made me grin like a fool.
"Pick me up at 7."
A/n Hey loves I hope you enjoyed it and really sorry I haven't updated even though it's spring break and this could have been finished a long time ago... yeah i'm a really bad procrastinator and then I get busy so go figure. Well review with leo on top or he won't leave you alone either! Tell me where you think he's going to take her on their date or what job do you think Jason's doing that he won't tell Reyna. Best one though is (cue drum roll) why do you think Don hates Jonathan and sort of Reyna (but not much)? Hope you have a great week and be safe, eat fruit, and don't take candy from unicorns because if you do...then darling that means you are high as a mofo ;)
