Author's POV ...
Because Georgina didn't want to have fun outside, Leonardo finally invited her to return to the mansion. It was already 11 pm and all the maids were resting in their respective rooms, while his parents had not returned. the man invited the girl to walk upstairs through the side stairs, then walked to the third floor where there was a fairly wide room with a glass wall equipped with white curtains, even the roof was made of glass so they could see the night sky.
"Wow ..." Georgina was amazed and astonished when she looked up and saw the beauty of the room because it looks very tidy and romantic where there are several sofas complete with tables, decorative flowers in every corner of the room, there are loudspeakers, several musical instruments such as pianos, drums, guitars and violins, even DJ equipment, microphones ... this made it feel like this room was a room for playing musical instruments.
"Do you like it here?" Leonardo asked while placing two bottles of red wine on the table along with several snack packs with various flavors.
"I don't understand exactly what this room is for?" Georgina asked back, her curiosity made her suddenly not sad anymore.
Leonardo just smiled faintly then pressed the button on the wall until the light suddenly went out and then he pressed another switch until the orange light came on, making the room feel dim.
Georgina was confused, and also fascinated by the beauty of the room.
"This is the room for me to practice music with my friends, exactly 5 years ago before I graduated," said Leonardo while walking towards the DJ equipment.
"So you like music?"
"hmm..."
"You also have a band with your friends?" Georgina confirmed as she walked up to Leonardo who put the headset on his ear, then started to turn on the DJ's instrument, and the room's lights started to blink between red orange white green, and blue.
"It's going to be like a nightclub..."
Leonardo just smiled slightly and started tuning the DJ's instrument by adjusting the buttons to connect to the loudspeakers which were already on and emitting colorful lights.
"You haven't answered me," said Georgina.
"I will answer after we have danced to a song," Leonardo replied.
"Can I make a request?"
"Yeah, of course."
Georgina smiled faintly and clasped her hands together while thinking about what song could make her have fun and not keep thinking about Sebastian.
"bad blood mashup version with Should I say no by Taylor Swift suitable for dancing and karaoke," said Leonardo, handing the microphone to Georgina. "I'm sure you know that song and you can sing as loud as possible to vent your anger... so... you won't be stressed anymore," he continued-smiled faintly.
Georgina took the microphone, and Leonardo started playing the music that had been blended into the DJ's instrument.
Excitedly, she gripped the microphone tightly and started singing as loud as she could. her voice filled with emotion, and she felt like all of her pressure and anger was releasing.
The two of them began to move in the middle of the dimly lit room. When the DJ's instruments play music, Leonardo dances with agility and passion. Georgina followed in his footsteps, and slowly, she felt the suppressed inside of her heart begin to feel relieved. and sometimes she feels like seeing Leonardo has a good side even like the man she wanted all this time because it turns out that he's not only good at business but also good at playing music, then have this special room.
The colorful lights reflect a lively atmosphere, and when they sing together, a nightclub-like atmosphere is truly created. More and more, Georgina forgot her sad feelings about Sebastian. Leonardo, with his expertise in managing music and atmosphere, managed to create fun moments for Georgina and himself, because he was also sad thinking about his relationship with Zoe, which had no progress.
after dancing and singing together for several songs, they finally rested on the comfortable couch and immediately drank red wine straight from the bottle giving rise to a wild sensation.
."I feel better now," said Georgina with a chuckle, putting her red wine bottle on the table, then moving on to take the strawberry-flavored wafer
"I'm glad to hear that," Leonardo said, smiling too. ."You know, sometimes music and dance are the best way to get rid of emotional baggage. I'm happy to be able to share this moment with you..."
Georgina nodded in agreement. "You're right... I've never been like this before... you know how my dad restrained me."
"Maybe we could do this more often, playing music and dancing together. We could put together a little band," Leonardo suggested happily, then went back to drinking.
Georgina smiled faintly. "Don't forget, we are enemies!"
Even Leonardo chuckled. "Let this enemy of yours also be your friend."
"That's weird ..."
"Because we are freaks!"
Georgina sighed, then glanced at Leonardo who looked very different tonight. she became curious about his relationship with Zoe because since earlier they were together, the man didn't show his cell phone at all as if he didn't communicate with his girlfriend.
"How is your relationship with Zoe?" she asked.
"Stay in place," Leonardo replied with a faint smile. "But don't worry, we're fine," he continued.
Georgina nodded her head but still just kept staring at Leonardo who immediately looked away as if to hide his expression.
Leonardo suddenly felt strange, Georgina's gaze made him uncomfortable, and didn't know what to do. he also didn't want to end all of this because he needed a friend tonight, so instincts guided him to stand up immediately, then walked towards another hidden room behind the curtains.
Georgina frowned, then placed her food on the table and quickly followed Leonardo into the room.
when she got there, she saw Leonardo lying on a white mattress and the room lights were on so brightly.
"Have you ever seen the star until you fell asleep?" Asked Leonardo who was using his arm as a headrest.
"Not yet," Georgina replied. "I always fail... I never see stars indoors... when I lay outside there were lots of mosquitos so I quickly went back to my room," she continued, then lay down beside Leonardo and stared at the stars through the glasses roof.
Leonardo smiled faintly. "I often do it here ... especially when I'm sad ... looking at the stars, it allows me to think about the universe, not just about my personal life," Leonardo said casually.
"That's right ..."
Leonardo took a deep breath and then fell silent, along with Georgina who was also silent and focused on looking at the stars. he felt strange because tonight he was not so sad even though Zoe had not contacted him at all. his time with Georgina seemed to be the best diversion, making him turn to her who was lost in thought.
"Happy birthday," he said.
Georgina smiled a little sarcastically. "You're late!"
.leonardo chuckled, then tilted his body to look at Georgina. "Even I didn't give any presents..."
"I already got a present, even though it seems that from now on I will hate my birthday," said Georgina resignedly, considering her relationship with Sebastian which has no future clarity. "Since yesterday I've always been sad... he as my boyfriend doesn't seem to know how to make me happy on my special day."
"That's sad..."
Georgina glanced at Leonardo who was looking at her, making her feel nervous. "um... what did you do on Zoe's birthday?" she asked randomly.
Leonardo just smiled a little.
"Why?" asked Georgina.
"Are you curious?" Leonardo even asked back.
"um... yeah..." Georgina shrugged.
Leonardo sighed. "On her birthday, I take her to romantic places... then..."
"You spend time together with... and.. make love?" Georgina guessed.
Leonardo chuckled, then lay back down. "That is a common thing, moreover we love each other."
Georgina was silent, suddenly jealous of Zoe and Leonardo's harmony, she even wanted to feel how beautiful it is to spend time together with lovemaking like Leonardo said.
"Have you ever done that?" he asked.
"What?"
"Um ... make love," Leonardo said awkwardly.
Georgina smiled faintly, then tilted her position towards Leonardo while lifting her head and using her hands for support.
"I want you to guess if you are right ... you will get a gift," she said.
Leonardo chuckled, repositioning himself face to face with Georgina and lifting his head using his hands for support.
"What kind of gift is that?" he asked.
Georgina was silent, thinking about what she would give Leonardo. his handsome face and perfect body, made her mind run wild and wonder what if they had fun so she was happy like Zoe.
"Hey..."
Georgina snapped out of her reverie. "Make love!" she said spontaneously.
"Make love?" Leonardo frowned.
Georgina paused, suddenly feeling it was inappropriate to say that. She immediately sat up and was about to leave but Leonardo pulled her down into his arms.
Leonardo paused, staring at Georgina's face so close above him. he swallowed his saliva, and stroked her smooth and soft cheeks, recognizing her beauty which was even more perfect than Zoe's.
"I want to make you happy like I made Zoe happy on her birthday," he said softly.
Georgina was silent and felt like saying yes but was embarrassed. She felt crazy, she wanted Leonardo so badly but she remembered they were enemies before and maybe this would also make her a traitor to Sebastian and Zoe.
'But...but there's nothing wrong with us just wanting to have fun... because we do not have a relationship like cheating. After all, Sebastian cheated on me. I shouldn't feel reluctant about him. no one knows about this anyway,' she thought as if her instincts were pushing her to do what Leonardo offered...
