Leonard was determined to see her, so though he had been waiting for minutes now, he kept on waiting. Not like it was a new thing for him anyway, he had waited for her like this in the past. He waited and waited until he saw a car drove in front of her gate, that was her car. She came out of it, strolled to the gate, unlocked the mini-gate, and entered.
And the next thing Leonard saw was that the whole gate was opened wide, that was also her doing. She came out, strolled to her car, opened it, and entered. Then she drove straight in right into her compound. Parking the car well, she came out of it and closed the gate. That was enough gazing for Leonard, at least, he had gotten to see her, he got to see her pretty face.
She was still looking as beautiful and sexy as ever, no changes. He stood up from the chair he was sitting on and sauntered closer to her abode, then he said to himself,
"Eva, if my current plan to seduce you and make you fall for me doesn't work, I don't know what I'll do again, I might just die. But, I don't want to die, so I really hope it works. I just need to collect my pay, and I'll execute it immediately".
After saying that to himself, he turned around and began sauntering away, his apartment was the destination. He journeyed until he arrived at his apartment, and he was inside currently. He didn't feel like taking a night bath, so he just changed his outfits into something casual. Then he prepared and ate dinner, he ate noodles for dinner.
Done eating, he operated his phone for some minutes, there wasn't much to do with it though. He wanted to go straight to bed right now, as he stood up from the sofa he was sitting on to stroll into his room, he heard the system's reminder. He was really running out of time, he must make sure to collect his pay within next week, if he can't...a lot would happen.
At least, he had hope that the manager would agree to give him his salary though it hasn't completed a month yet. Why? 'Cause he noticed Leonard's hard work. With that thinking in mind, Leonard strolled to his room and landed on the bed, and slept off. Tomorrow is another day, still a work-free day.
********
Leonard woke up the next day, but he didn't stand up from the bed. He had opened his eyes already, but he didn't feel like standing up from the bed...at least, there wasn't work today. As he lay on the bed, he began thinking about Felix, how he easily found out that something was going on between him and Rita.
Yeah, he easily found out 'cause Rita was careless, she came to the first floor when she had business with Leonard. And Leonard that was thinking he was careful wasn't careful enough. As for now, Felix wasn't aware that Leonard had sex with Rita and was given money for it, at least, that was Leonard's current perception. But what if he does and was pretending not to?
Since the time he and Felix talked about it, and he told him that lie, they hadn't talked about it again...and they were cool. But Leonard knew that Felix was unsatisfied with his answer, he didn't believe it completely. What if he just tells Felix what was truly going on between him and Rita, like, Felix would most likely not tell?
But no matter how Leonard thought about it, he couldn't just bring himself to tell him. Maybe Felix would later find out by himself, that would be the best. He would have to find out himself, Leonard would never tell him...that's the decision.
'Why am I thinking about this this early morning? Gotta go engage in other activities'.
He thought that, but getting up from the bed was still problem for him. He lay on the bed for some minutes more before he finally forced himself to get up from it. What did he do next after that? He engaged in normal morning activities like, taking his bath, brushing his teeth, and all that. And since there was no work today, he had plans of preparing rice balls and stew for breakfast...no rushing.
He took his time to prepare them so they would come out as very delicious. And when he was done preparing them and was eating, he knew that the time and effort he put into preparing the rice balls and stew paid off. He ate and ate as he kept on licking his mouth, before he knew it, he had emptied both plates. He took the plates to the kitchen and washed them that moment. Then he sauntered back to the parlor and sat on one of the sofas once again.
What was he gonna engage in now? On his previous earth, gambling takes most of his time. He wasn't always at home, and when he wasn't at home, he'll most likely be in a gambling house. You know, he had worked before, not an office job though, just other minor jobs...but he didn't even last up to two months in any of them. But on this earth, he had gotten a good job, an office job, working in a construction company...that's nice.
But now that he was at home, once again, he was having that urge to go gamble. The best part of it was that he knows where to locate a gambling house, so it would be easier for him.
'Should I just go engage in gambling? At least, if am not doing it for anything, I'll just do it to pass time. The urge is just too much, so I'll just go use this last money on me to go gamble?'.
The fact that he'll use the remaining money with him to go gamble wasn't pleasing to him. Why? 'Cause he'll most likely lose, he wasn't a good gambler. And once he loses all the money, he'll have nothing with him again. With that thinking in mind, he decided that he wouldn't engage in gambling as for now, he shrink down the urge by force. He needed to pass time, so he decided that he'll go to John's apartment today.
The time and money he'll use to gamble, it's better to use it to go to John's house to engage in something that might save his life. He'll go to his house to collect his mobile number and discuss with him a little. He'll most likely need John's help in accomplishing his first quest. He needed to prove to Eva that he was an action man though he wasn't really good at fighting...and he might need John's help to achieve it.
Now that it was a work-free day, it's better to make use of this opportunity, work will begin tomorrow. He needed to collect his mobile number so even within the week when the both of them would be busy with work, Leonard would be able to call him on phone so they'll set a perfect time to meet...Leonard would have collected his pay by then, most likely.
He stood up and sauntered straight into his room, it's time to dress up. He put on fashionable clothes, groomed himself, and departed from his apartment. He was still aware of where John's apartment was situated, so he sauntered and sauntered until he arrived at the building where his apartment was situated.
'Today is a work-free day, so he should be at home'. Leonard thought to himself.
He strolled to the door of his apartment and began knocking on it, but what? There was no response. Today is a work-free day, so what the f**k was happening? Did he go to work on a Sunday? Leonard needed to collect his mobile number, would that be a problem again? He couldn't ask him how he discovered the type of men his first quest likes 'cause of this problem of not meeting him at home, was it about to repeat itself on a work-free day?
Leonard knocked and knocked, but there was no response...it was evident that he wasn't in.
"Holy shit". Leonard muttered to himself.
He had given up knocking, he was about to turn around when he heard John's voice,
"Leonard, you here".
He quickly turned around, and there John was standing holding white nylon in his hand...there was a bit of smile on his face, he was happy to see, Leonard. Leonard just glanced at him and uttered,
"I've been knocking for some time now, I thought you went to work on a Sunday".
