Isla Pattinson had gone to many restaurants but never has she ever gone to a restaurant that looks like this.
They were standing in front of an expensive looking restaurant. Isla had known this restaurant for a long time, she would often pass by it. But she had never gone as far as having an actual food there because she knew that she won't be able to have a glass of water let alone be an actual food.
" We are eating here?" She asked, still sitting in the mercedes while Leo was standing out of the car for few moments now . He frowned at her because it didn't look as if his wife will step out of the car anytime soon.
So he walked towards her side and opened the door for her. Without waiting , he grabbed her hand from her lap and pulled her out of the car, making her stumble and almost fall down on the hard concrete ground.
" Yes. Now come." He said and her hand still in his, he walked them both towards the restaurant. They got many stares from the fellow people around the restaurant and suddenly Isla felt very self conscious.
She was kind of thankful of Leo for still holding her hand because as they walked in, Isla thought that maybe she walked into a castle.
The restaurant waa fancy from outside but it was much more fancier inside. Isla can't help but look at the interior with awe at the stunning sight. She looked at the guest too who were chatting among themselves. They were all wearing fancy clothes with even more fancy jewelry.
The entire restaurant was exerting excessive amount of expensive energy. It was ridiculous.
In her Haze, she wasn't even bothered that now Leo wasn't holding her hand, instead he was holding her by her waist.
" How may I he-- Leo?"
The voice of a girl calling Leo's name rather excitedly caused Isla to finally snap out of her trance of thoughts.
" Hi Lisa." And the familiarity in Leo's voice caught her with even more shock. She glanced at Leo who was smiling charmingly at the girl. Isla saw how the girl blushed as Leo called her name as if she is honoured that Leo remembered her fu*cking name.
She was wearing black skirt with white blouse that was tucked in. There was a tie too. She was dressed like all the waiters dressed into the restaurant, so she concluded that this girl, Lisa, is actually a waiter. But why is Leo familiar with her?
Who is she?
" It's been a long since you came here, Leo. I almost didn't believe when I saw your name under the reservations for today." She said with an innocent smile and unnecessary flutter of eyelashes. Obvious flirting. Isla could detect it in a heartbeat.
" Been busy with office stuff. I apologise ." Leo said , his voice wasn't as enthusiastic as lisa's but the girl was looking at him as if she wants to eat him alive.
" Are we gonna be standing here all day, honey?" Isla asked and regretted it soon after . Leo turned to look down at her with amusement in his sharp eyes. Isla couldn't believe that she had spoken.
Lisa finally looked at her as if she hadn't noticed her yet. " Who is she?" Lisa asked while pointing at Isla.
" My date. Isla." Leo simply said while he gave another charming smile at her way.
The girl looked slightly taken aback as if she was disappointed by the news and for some reason , Isla felt relieved.
" Oh." Was all she was able to mutter. " Your table is this way." She gestured with her hands as she lead them towards their table. " I will be back to take your orders after few minutes."
With that said, she hurried her way towards wherever she was going.
Isla sat on one of the posh chair of the table as Leo walked to the other side of the table. He too sat down and crossed his arms over his chest.
" Is something wrong? " He asked with oh-so sweet voice that Isla knew he was teasing.
" No." Isla answered. Short and accurate.
" You seemed a little off when I was talking with Lis." He commented but the last word caught Isla's attention.
A nickname.
" You must be very close to her to call her with a nickname." She commented, feeling irritated by each passing second but her irritation only seem to amuse her husband who was wearing a smug look on his face.
" We had hooked up a couple of times." He said with a shrug and a never leaving smirk .
Oh. Great.
" Must have been fun." Isla said dryly.
" Very."
Speaking of the demon, Lisa walked towards them with two menu cards in her hands. She placed the menu card in front of Isla without even looking at her but her attitude completely changed when she placed the card in front of Leo with so delicate actions.
Flirting. Isla rolled her eyes as she placed a loose strand of hair behind her ear , effectively showing off her emerald earrings. Leo was eyeing her with interest as he tried not to smile.
Leo turned his gaze back at the menu and not even moments later he was instantly muttering their orders.
" We would like medium rare steak with potato salad." He said and smiled at Lisa . A flirtatious smile which instantly made Lisa blush crimson and Isla rolled her eyes.
Lisa placed her palms on the table , clearly showing off her cleavage and Isla immediately felt inferior. She wasn't flat but she definitely wasn't as big either. Unconsciously, she looked at her own chest which didn't had any magnificent curve. Leo almost snorted at the sight.
" Of course. I will be right back." She said as she gently took the cards from Leo and ripped away the card from Isla which agitated her even more.
Who does she thinks she is?
When Lisa was just about to leave, Leo grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer. That was something Isla wasn't looking forward for. Two friends with benefits meeting up in a restaurant when she is still present just before them.
Isla looked around the place and saw some people were looking at their table, clearly noticing what was happening.
" And bring some red wine, please." He said with a low voice and Isla thought that she was being a third wheel. She felt uncomfortable in her own skin.
Lisa blushed again as a shy smile came on her face which made her look even beautiful than she already was.
" Of--- of course. A bottle of your favourite red wine, Leo" She said his name so sensually and so shamelessly with a smile as she reluctantly turned around and finally left the couple alone. Isla felt as if she can finally breathe again.
She looked at Leo who was still watching Lisa's retreating figure and Isla was sure that the girl was intentionally swaying her hips more than it was necessary.
" You seem more interested in her than you are in eating food here." Isla can't help but comment. Only regretting it, again.
Leo cocked his perfect brow at her with a smug expression as if he enjoys what he is doing.
" Girls have that effect on me." He said huskily.
" Of course."
" It awfully looks as if you are jealous." He commented again with a never leaving smirk on his face.
" Why would I be jealous? You didn't gave me any reason to be jealous, hubby. " Isla deadpanned with her eyes narrowed at him.
" But your behaviour says otherwise."
" I won't call my behavior as an aftermath of jealousy." Isla said as she looked at Leo with unreadable expression. Leo blink few times. " You clearly don't know how to make your date feel."
" What do you mean? I am master in this." Leo reasoned.
" If you were a master in dates then why am I feeling humiliated?"
