Chapter 5 GAME ON

Din din din, din din din, din din din, Alarm keeps beeping as the clock ticks gently, it's 5am, Leonard moving around the bed still haven't decided on whether to get up or not, the workout he had with Luis is telling on him, he does not want to get up,he felt so tired,

He drag himself around the bed just to get his phone, he got his phone and place a call through to Roseline,

Hello Roseline, how are you doing today, am sorry for the other time, but what actually triggers your anger, am quite shocked and surprised seeing you getting angry, Leonard said as he was trying to get up from the bed,

Hello Leonard, it's too early for this and besides you actually played me and lure me, am angry and presently I don't know what to do to you, so please get out of my line and stay out of my lane, Roseline said angrily has she hanged up on leonard, and fling the phone on the bed,

Leonard was shocked to the bone, seeing the reaction of Roseline on phone, he was like what is this, leonard tried to call back but Roseline hang up and switch off the phone, as leonard was trying, a call came in which he picked it was Maria the waitress at mariot lounge,

Leonard picked the call and answer,

Hello please who am I on to,

Hello Mr leonard this is Maria the waitress, hello Maria how are you doing? Leonard ask

Am fine, i just called to check on you, considering the way Roseline left the lounge angrily three days ago, i just felt i should call you and see how you are fairng,

Thanks for the call, Maria have you think about what i told you? Leonard ask

What is that ooo, mr leonard, Maria ask jokingly?

Don't tell me you've forgotten what i whisper into your ears, "That i want to have you"

Hope you now remember, Dear Maria?

Haha haha haha, Maria laughed aloud, mr leonard, what of madam Roseline, are you saying you're quiting your relationship with her, because I don't really get your game and your antics,

What do you mean by saying, you don't understand me, am speaking greek or latin, we are both speaking english, Maria i like you, do you know Roseline was angry when she saw you leaving my table as she was coming out of the lounge the other day, she felt you will pose a threat to her, and you remember I told you that day, that you're beautiful, leonard said jokingly on the phone?

Yes i do and please if I may ask, what does all this your explanation got to do with me, i really don't get what they need to do with me, am not ready to be with you mr leonard, am not ready, Maria said angrily,

Okay Maria Michel, i gat you and I respect your decision, but i want a request from you and I will be glad if you can honor it, can we see tomorrow at The Barbados Bar down street where you work, after you close from work, please grant my request, Leonard said on phone,

Mr leonard i Will think about it and give you a reply at dawn, thank you and have a great day, Maria said as he was about to drop the call,

Thank you too dear Maria Michel, bye my Love, Leonard said as he was hanging up the call,

yes yes yes, leonard said as he was jumping and dancing in his room, yeah I got another catch, this one is huge and large,

Oh Maria, Oh Maria, Oh Maria , 🎶

I gat you baby, 🎶

Oh Maria, Oh Maria, Oh Maria 🎶

I gat you baby🎶

Being an adaptation of the first song he sang using the name of roseline, he only removed Roseline and add Maria to it, leonard is indeed on top of his game doing the best he could by luring those women to his side, he his not interested in settling down, all he wants is just to catch fun and take advantage of them,

As he hang up the call, another call came him, now it is Ronald one of his colleague at work,

Hello Leonard, how are you, hope you're enjoying your leave, Ronald ask?

Yes i am, Leonard Replied, how are you too and how is the work going?

Hey Ronald, this evening is a bit occupied for me, i want to go see someone Important and I don't think I can help you with that, sorry about that friend, some other time, leonard said as he hang up the call,

Ronald put another call through to Maria Michel, Maria is Ronald step sister, ronald was suppose to see her tomorrow, but since leonard isn't interested in assisting ronald for the job, ronald felt he should just use the opportunity to see Maria, it's been 3 years they saw last ever since Ronald got the job at silicon valley and Maria too has been engaged with her own job too as a waitress in lounge,

Hello Maria, Ronald said as he was on phone with her,

Hello Dear Brother, Maria Said,

No I don't think So, i will be meeting a friend tonight and it's a very important meeting, i already have an appointment with him and I don't think I can change it, Maria said,

Oh really, who is this person and why is this person so important than me, haven't i warned to be careful with the way you deal with men, you're still young Maria, Ronald said angrily on phone,

Am not young brother, i know what i want and I know what is good for me, so why preaching and Advising me, please and please, Live your life and let me Live mine, Maria Said on phone,

I know you're not young and you can take decision yourself but what am saying is that, you have to be careful, I Love you and I cannot watch you suffer, okay if I may ask what the name of this lucky man, Ronald ask jokingly on phone,

Well his name is Leo, And it's a must I see him tonight, i really need to, if there is nothing else you want to say, maybe we should fix our meeting to another time, and I think that's better

Okay Maria, we talk some other time, Thank you and Bye, Ronald drop the call and face his task on the Laptop,

Maria dashed into the bathroom to take and her bath and headed for her office, she join a public transit to get to her office, as she was entering the office the first person she saw was madam Bernice, madam Bernice is the owner of Barbados Bar, she came to see Mr mariot the owner of Mariot lounge where Maria work,

I need nothing for now sir, i think am fine, thanks so much for your permission, hope i can go back to my duty post? Maria asked,

Yes please, yes you can, mr mariot said nodding his head in approval to Maria request,

Maria left mr mariot office and headed for the rest room, she brought out her phone and place a call through to leonard, it is against the company code of conduct to use your phone while on duty,

As florence was trying to give an answer to mr mariot question

Maria hurriedly dashed out of the rest room, and headed for her duty post,

Welcome Maria where are you coming from, you left my office some minutes ago, thinking you've gone back to your duty post, i came here now, i saw Florence doing your duty, where were you?

I am coming from the restroom, Maria said

Hope you're fine and hope there is no issue, mr Mariot asked,

No issues sir, can I go back to my duty post, Maria asked,

Yes you can, mr mariot replied?

Maria went back to her duty post and was serving the customers,

Leonard didn't go for gym, he woke up late and was watching a series on netflix titled "Brethren" he watched till evening and start preparing to go meet Maria at barbados lounge,

He dashed into the bathroom to have his bath, he got dress and headed for barbados lounge, he put a call through to Maria, Maria on her path was on her way too to the lounge,

Hello Maria, where are you, leonard ask out of curiosity,

I am on my way to the lounge, Maria responded,

Okay catch you in a jiffy, leonard responded as he hang up,

Maria got to lounge earlier enough than leonard, she wore a gorgeous mini gown and a christian loboutin high heel shoe, immediately she entered she booked a seat for two, while she was trying to sit she saw Roseline coming in, but Roseline didn't see her, Maria just ignore and move on to her seat,

Roseline came to barbados bar to meet with her friend Daniella so as to discuss what was bothering her mind due to her experience with Leonard, she went straight to the VIP lounge and book a seat for two, she was inside expecting Daniella to come,

Leonard was driving enroute barbados lounge, while on the wheels, he saw a lady stranded with her car, leonard parked his car beside the lady's car and alighted from his Audi Sport car,

Hello lady, my name is Leo, what's wrong with your car, can i offer an assistant, leonard ask as he moved closer to the lady,

Thank you Leo, am Daniella by name, i don't know what is wrong with this car, it just stop in the middle of the road, and am going to meet a friend urgently at a lounge down the street, please i will be glad if you can help check the car mr leo, Daniella said looking worried and tired,

Leonard moved closer and open the car bonnet, hit the battery of the car with a hard object, he told Daniella to get into the car, so as to start it for a test,

Please start the ignition, leonard said,

Okay, am on it, Roseline put on the ignition, lo and behold the car started, she jumped out and hug leonard in joy,

Thank you mr Leo, wow you're such a genius, please are you a mechanical engineer? Daniella ask out of curiosity,

No am not, am a software engineer working at silicon valley, so am not a mechanical engineer, i only had experience based on the number of years i have been driving, it's not something special, it's something you can do too, leonard said jokingly,

They both laughed out loud,

You're so nice and kind, Daniella said

As she was talking her phone rang, she picked up, it was Roseline that was calling,

Hello Daniella, where are you? roseline ask out of curiosity,

Hello Rose, my car develop a fault, and i have been stranded since, if not for this handsome man that assisted me in fixing it, i would still be staying here all night, Daniella said out of joy,

My regards to the man, or better still the handsome man, and please when you get to the lounge, ask for the VIP section, Roseline said,

Okay see you in a jiffy, Daniella said as she dropped the call,

Sorry about that, i just had to pick the call, Daniella said while apologizing to leonard,

Never mind, it is understandable, Afterall you're suppose to call each, considering the fact that you have an appointment together, leonard said,

Thank you mr Leo, please i will love to have your contact you're such a nice man, can i have your card, Daniella ask,

Leo dip his hand in his pocket trying to get his card, sorry i couldn't get my card, perhaps you can give me yours, leonard ask

Maria open her purse and brought out her card and handed it over to leo, that's my card, please get in touch, Maria pleaded,

Leonard collected the card and check it,

Oh you work with WHO, Covid-19 response Team, leonard ask out of curiosity,

Yes please, am a doctor sir, Daniella said, i think am running late, beep me and we will talk better, Daniella said as she exchange handshakes with Leonard she dashed into her car and start the ignition and headed for the lounge,

Leonard left too, entered his car and headed for the lounge, while he was driving, Maria Called,

Hello Mr Leonard, where are you, I have been sitting here waiting for you all day long, Maria said out of curiosity,

Hello Damsel, am on my way, am almost closer to the lounge, you will see me very soon, leonard said jokingly,

Am waiting mr leonard, don't keep me waiting for too long, Maria Said anxiously,

Okay my Queen, your King is coming, leonard said as he was approaching the entrance of the lounge,

Okay King, Maria said smilingly as she dropped the call,

Bye my queen, Leonard hang up too,

As leonard was driving in, he saw Daniella too, driving into the the same lounge, he alighted and went to meet her where she parked her car,

surprise surprise, leonard said while standing at the back of Daniella,

Oh my God, mr leo, what are you doing here, Daniella asked?

Am here to see a friend and how about you too, leonard ask?

Am here to see a friend too, Daniella replied?

Okay, they both exchange hugs and Daniella left to meet one of the security operatives so as to ask about the direction to where the VIP lounge is

Maria was seeing leo from where she was sitted and she was curious about who leonard was hugging,

Leonard put a call through to Maria, hello Queen where are you, leonard ask?

I am sitted in the fourth row, i wore a mini gown, i am waving my hands so that you can see me, Maria said as she stood up and wave her hands so that leonard can see her,

Oh oh, i have seen you, leonard dropped the call and move closer to where she was sitted,

Good evening Queen Maria, leonard said as he was about to sit,

Good evening King Leonard, you kept me waiting for too long, Maria said,

Am sorry Dear, you look so good and beautiful, i love your gown, it looks good on you, leonard said while trying to compliment Maria dress and divert her attention from asking further questions,

Thank you for the compliment, you looks good too, perhaps that's why the lady hug you affectionately, Maria said while looking at Leonard,

leonard smile sheepishly, maria why are you like this, it was just an innocent hug, no feelings attached,

Okay mr leonard, have heard you, Maria answered jokingly,

What do you care, leonard ask as he try to place an order,

I care for Wine and Barbecue Chicken, Maria said,

I will go for just that too,

Leonard placed an order for Wine and barbecue chicken for two people, himself and Maria, the waiter serve them both,

Leonard and Maria were eating and Maria mistakenly drop the barbecue chicken on her dress and it was stained,

Sorry my dear, leonard said as he used the napkin to clean the stain,

Oh gosh, Maria expressed annoyance, she rushed into the restroom so as to clean up,

Leonard as usual brought out the spanish fly aphrodisiac and added it to the wine, he called for the attention for the waiter, who is named bob,

Hello Bob, am leonard by name, do you guys offer room reservation service, leonard asked?

Yes we do Sir, bob replied as he nodded his head and showed leonard the department responsible for room reservation service,

Thank you, leonard replied,

Maria came back from the restroom, after cleaning up herself, she drank the wine which leonard added aphrodisiac to,

Hope you're okay, leonard ask?

Maria seems worried because of the stain,

Leonard kissed on her on her cheek, just to make her smile,

Maria smiled and they continue enjoying their meal,

Maria started feeling uneasy and she was feeling as if she want to dose off,

What's the matter, Leonard ask as if he did not know what happened, i think you will need to rest,

I can't rest here, i want to go home, Maria said,

But you can't go home as you are, you need to rest first,

Leonard went to the room service unit and booked for a night, he came back to carry Maria to the room,

He placed Maria on the bed and left for the bathroom to have a nice shower,

He came back and undress Maria and made love to her using his condom,

Daniella saw roseline and they hug each other, she sits on the seat that she offered her,

How are you doing, Daniella ask Roseline,

Am fine and good, am just worried about that guy, the way he played me, Roseline said,

I will suggest you let go of that and let's move on,

I will love to introduce you to the guy who assisted me in fixing my car when I was stranded, he his also in this lounge,

Daniella took Roseline in search of Leonard inside the lounge, he even showed roseline leonards car,

But they could not find him,

Didn't you collect the card of this nice guy? Roseline asked

No I didn't, but i gave him mine and he promised to reach out, i believe he will reach out, Daniella answered,

Daniella went to meet the waiter, hello waiter, please did you know who parked that car over there,

I am Bob, you can call me bob ma, please kindly meet my colleague over there, his name is l'orente he his in charge of customers car, he will definitely know who owns the car, Bob replied,

Okay it's fine, daniella replied as she and roseline left been disappointed not seeing leonard,

I believe he will reach out, Daniella said as they were going,

I really hope he reached out to you, provided he hasn't lost your card, Roseline said out of curiosity,

Yeah I trust he won't, he appear to be a man of character, he his not a child, he his a grown up man for Christ sake Roseline, why are you sounding pessimistically, Daniella said,

Okay daniella, was only saying this out of curiosity, no strings attached my dear, you no I got you anyday and anytime, Roseline responded jokingly,

Okay, baby girl, Daniella responded as they left the lounge and headed for the car park,
