Chapter 13 - An unexpected tenant

The two ladies gazed upon each other on the room, "Just follow the plan and Im sure Leo will give in easily" Shane said "You sure this will work?" Amy was hesitant.

"Trust me I know that man" Shane replied back.

Leo was washing the dishes when suddenly he heard the two ladies calling him,

"Leo, can you come over here real quick?" Both yelled loudly, Leo rushed and look for the sound where it came from, "Where are you?" he shouted, "on OUR room" Amy shouted.

Leo rushed through the room, "Why?" he slowly peeks at the door.

"I have a proposition and a favor to ask" Amy said, "Okay, I'm listening" Leo suddenly look serious and interested.

"Me and Shane agreed, that it would be better for your business if I be the assistant manager of the shop" Amy stated. Leo look confused at her "Oh really?"

"Yeah, we all know that my cooking is better than you" Amy stated, "Plus it would be better if we could spend some time again" She added.

"So that is your proposition?" Leo asked, "Yes" she replied shortly, "How about the favor?" He added. "Uhmm about that... Shane you go tell him" Amy pushed Shane towards Leo.

"She's willing to work for you in the same conditions as mine" Shane stated.

Leo's eyes widen, "Same conditions as her?, Are you sure?" he asked Amy. Any nodded without hesitation.

"Did you tell her our agreements?" Leo ask Shane, "Yeah I did just a while ago" she replied.

"All of it?" Leo ask again, "Yeah I think so" Shane said with slight hesitation in her voice.

Leo sighed, "Then it's settled, let's pack up your things and Let's go to my boarding house" Leo said before going to the kitchen and continue washing the dishes.

The two was excited, "Am I really gonna go there today?" Amy asked, "Don't you know Leo, he means things" Shane said smiling. The two squeals and started packing.

Leo helped them pack her stuff, "Make sure that you won't leave anything behind" Leo said. "Yeah yeah, how about my coffee machines?" Amy said.

"I'll pick it up tomorrow, this looks brand new I'll just buy it from you" Leo explained, "No need to pay cash, I accept other forms of payment" she whispered to Leo's ears.

Leo just brushed it off and continue to pack up.

Time passes by fast, "This is tiring, why did we decided for you to move today already" Leo exclaimed, "Just quit complaining, we're almost done" Shane said.

Leo started packing the boxes in to the van, "These sure are a lot of stuff" Leo sighed, "Some of it is for the shop!" Shane and Amy shouted at Leo before laughing.

"Haysst, what did I get myself into?" he said before picking up boxes.

Leo was about to pick up the last two boxes when suddenly something fell from the top box, he picked it up and suddenly, a lustful smile formed in his lips.

"Hey Amy do you still wear this?" Leo said holding the piece of cloth, it was a black lace lingerie set with a butterfly back.

Amy rush towards Leo and grabbed the lingerie, "Maybe, this is embarrassing you bastard" She hits Leo in the gut. "Ow I was just asking" Leo holds his stomach as he felt her fist.

Amy loaded the last box on Leo's van, "Eyy you two were done" Amy said before releasing a breath of air. "Shall we go home now?" Leo ask the two,

"Can't we eat out first?" Shane ask with puppy eyes, then Amy followed. Leo was taken aback and agreed "Fine, what do you guys want to eat?" Leo ask.

"I would like fruits and tea" Amy said, "Just that?" the two questioned.

"Yeah, how about Shane?" Amy replied, "Pizza and chicken would be nice" Shane said.

"Then let's drive to a near mall" Leo said before getting inside the car. Both the ladies go to the back seat and Leo was left at the the front, "Really? No one's gonna sit with me?" Leo said, "Just drive, for us please" Amy convince Leo. "Fine, I feel out of place right now" Leo sighed before he started driving.

As they are driving Leo turned on the radio and 'Die for you by The Weekend' is playing.

Leo was singing the bridge of the song with his gorgeous voice

"You know what I'm thinkin', see it in your eyes

You hate that you want me, hate it when you cry

You're scared to be lonely, 'specially in the night

I'm scared that I'll miss you, happens every time

I don't want this feelin', I can't afford love

I try to find a reason to pull us apart

It ain't workin', 'cause you're perfect, and I know that you're worth it

I can't walk away, oh"

And as soon as the chorus hits all of them sing together,

"Even though we're goin' through it

And it makes you feel alone

Just know that I would die for you

Baby, I would die for you, yeah

The distance and the time between us

It'll never change my mind

'Cause baby, I would die for you

Baby, I would die for you, yeah"

They laugh together as the chorus ended, "I guess we have the same taste in music" Leo said smiling before continuing to drive, the two just smiled back and keeps singing.

Few minutes on the road they get a glimpse of the mall but Leo drive pass the mall,

"Where are we going?" Shane said, "Home, I realize I can cook for us" Leo said.

"Ehh, are you for real?" Amy was slightly mad. "Just trust me, I'll make your taste buds crave plus the malls will close at 9:00pm its already 8:40pm" Leo explained.

Both of the ladies pouts "Fine", Amy answered with coldness in her voice.

They stopped at the small convenience store, "Anything you guys want?" Leo asks. None of them answered, Leo scratched his head and goes inside the convenient store.

Leo picked up a pack of sliced watermelons, apples, strawberries and some grapes. 'I think this is good enough for Amy' he speaks to himself.

"Now tea, where is that?" a worker suddenly answered "Its on that side of the store sir", it was the girl on convenience store yesterday and the one who delivered the chicken.

"You've been working hard lately" Leo said before going to the side where the girl pointed.

After picking out different teas, Leo proceeds to the check out "How long have you been working here?" Leo ask the girl, "Ahmm F-for a month, Sir" the girl answered before handing the bags to Leo.

"Take this and keep the change" Leo winks at the girl before leaving.

The girl stared at Leo with admiration then suddenly she speaks up "Uhmm, Sir Thank you have a great night" she said shy.

Leo just smiled and goes out the convenient store.

As he gets on the car he looks at the two girl at the back, who are asleep right now, "I guess they got tired" He said and starts driving home.

Leo turned down the volume of the radio and it started playing, 'Best part by Daniel Caesar'

Leo sings softly as the girls fell deeper in their sleep.

"You don't know, babe

When you hold me

And kiss me slowly

It's the sweetest thing

And it don't change

If I had it my way

You would know that you are"

Leo's voice woke up Amy, and she just looks at Leo with so much admiration and goes back to sleep.

"You're the coffee that I need in the morning

You're my sunshine in the rain when it's pouring

Won't you give yourself to me

Give it all, oh

I just wanna see

I just wanna see how beautiful you are

You know that I see it

I know you're a star

Where you go I follow

No matter how far

If life is a movie

Oh you're the best part, oh oh oh

You're the best part, oh oh oh

Best part"

Both the girls smiled in their sleep as they heard a comforting man's voice. After the chorus Leo just hummed until the song finishes.

After driving a few block they finally reach home, "Rise and shine girls we're here" Leo said shaking the legs of the two. The two yawns as they get out of the car.

"Let's unload your stuff tomorrow, it's kinda late" Leo said locking his van, Amy just nodded and followed Shane upstairs.

They reach the third floor, as soon as they open the door of the penthouse, a sweet smell of home surround Amy's nostrils. "I think this was a great Idea" She said softly.

"Get yourself comfortable" Leo said before heading to the kitchen and preparing their meal.

"Ohh shit-, I forgot Shye is still in my room" Shane suddenly realized, "Where will I sleep?" Amy also yelled. "Don't yell, it's already late, you can sleep in my room" Leo said without hesitation.

"Na-ah, not gonna sleep with you on the same bed" Amy emphasize. "You don't want to?" Leo ask as he takes off his shirt and put on his apron.

"No", Amy gulps.

"Fine, I'll sleep on the floor" Leo said before starting to prepare their meal.

After a while, Amy goes back down the van to get some spare clothes and Shane went to the bathroom to shower.

Leo look for Shye, "Shye" he whispherd her name. Shye came out of Shane's room looking at Leo straight with a questioning face.

"What?" Shye asked, "Don't come to my room, we have a another boarder" Leo said. "Really?" Shye sounds excited, "Yeah so don't come into my room again, understand?" Leo explained.

"Yeah-yeah, where is she?" Shye looks for the new tenant.

"Ahmm Hi, I am Amarié Maverick, Leo's..." She took her time to add "Leo's Acting Sister" Amarié introduced herself, Leo was shock by her introduction.

"Ohh Hi, I'm Shye Zavala, I am currently a boarder at the second floor but there are still no furnishing so I stay here for a while" Shye replied.

"Make yourself comfortable" Leo said as he prepares dinner.

Shye and Amarié moved to the living room and sat comfortably at the couch, after a while Shane joined them.

Leo was smiling as he sets up the table, 'Im lucky to have three beautiful girls at my home' he talks to himself.

Shane saw him smiling, "Look Leo's daydreaming" They all laugh.

Leo's smile fades and started to look annoyed, "Just come here dinners ready" He said.

The three ladies sat around the table along with Leo, The three can't seem to stop staring at Leo's ripped body as he takes the apron and sat topless in front of the table.

"Ahh uhmm, Aren't you gonna put a shirt on?" Shye mentioned, "Ohh shit, I forgot" Leo rushed to the kitchen feeling embarrassed.

Thee three girls seems to have speak to themselves 'This man looks better than the served food on the table'.

They eat dinner happily, stories were told about Amy and Leo and they discuss about their future plans.

An hour pass at the table and all seems to be satisfied with the food, "Damn, Leo I didn't know you can make simple dishes tastes extravagant" Amy said, while the two girls agrees with a smile.

Leo just smiled back and blushed, "Thank you" he said before grabbing the dirty plates and tossing it on the sink.

Shye volunteered to do the dishes and Shane already head to bed.

Leo opens the door to his and let Amy get comfortable in the room, "Feel at home SISTER" he mocks Amy.

Amy goes in rolling her eyes and jumps on the bed.

"Finally, Rest" She exhaled, Leo gets his towel and walks towards the bathroom,

"I'm gonna shower first" Leo said as he gets in the bathroom, Amy just stared at Leo and prepares her clothes to also shower.

"What a great place to start again" Amarié smiled as she thinks about all what happened.
