Ruben left the room after his invitation happily. He was excited Lilo accepted his invitation. Lilo on the other hand laid on the bed smiling, she could not believe what just happened. Her crush just asked her on a date, even if they both knew it meant nothing. This little act of his got her mind off Antonio for a while and after some minutes of smiling, Lilo returned to herself.
She wondered why Sage or Matthew has not called her yet. They were meant to give her details on how the dinner went.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
Matthew sat on his favorite chair in the lounge, All his life he's wanted a better life for himself and his only sister since the tragic incident that occurred few years back destroyed his family. He brought a packet of cigarette in his pocket, brought out a piece and lit it.
"Don't you think we should call her now!" Sage walked into the lounge with a bowl of cereal in her hands. Their apartment was not big but it was comfortable for them, it was home to them.
"Falcon hasn't called yet to tell us the result of our little surprise. We need to take Lilo down before going for that naive little fool!" He let out the thick fog from his lips.
"The naive fool would not be the only thing we'd take down, I want to deal with those poking dingbats myself. I want to see them suffer so next time they'd know who to speak to and who not to!" Sage said furiously.
Just then the call they expected came in, "Did everything go as planned Falcon?" Matthew asked. "Yes, Ruben said she just accepted his request!" Falcon said from the other end. This elated Matthew, they had planned with falcon, the photographer to convince his boss to convince Ruben into doing a photo shoot with Lilo for a month.
They knew she liked this man as she told Sage about him alot. Sage wanted Antonio for herself, she's always wanted the man after her first night with him, but he just never gave her a chance ever again. She's worked so hard to remain in the upper class, she can't possibly fail now.
People get tired it sleeping around with different men for money, especially when they're old enough to be your father. She knew Antonio before her best friend but because Lilo comes from a privileged family, she had the chance to get engaged to Antonio quickly.
"Thanks alot Falcon, make sure you do everything to keep those two together!" Matthew said. Once his plans works out with Lilo, he would deal with Bella and her minions. "What did Falcon say, did everything go as planned?" Sage asked.
"Yes, they're going on their first date tomorrow!" Matthew answered with a victorious smirk on his lips.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
"I love you!" Said Antonio. "Love you too!" Bella responded blushing as she hunged up. She was finally at ease with Antonio's call, finally she could sleep well tonight. She laid on the big bed thinking of everything Antonio said with a smile on her lips.
She just couldn't wait to tell Tina and Lily just how good the dinner went.
