Gianni sat impatiently in front of a talkative Valerie. They had decided to dine at the nearest Mexican restaurant and he was beginning to regret the decision. He didn't understand how she couldn't pick up on the cues that he was not interested.
"So would you like to come back to my place after this?"
Gianni looked up and saw the Cheshire smile she sent his way. He could already see the wheels turning in her head.
"Listen Valerie, this thing between us is not going to work. I'm on a huge case and I have all these family issues going on. I can't willingly dedicate to a relationship right now."
He watched her face fall and then anger graced her pretty features.
"Was I just a quick lay for you?"
"No Valerie. Things come up and stuff happens. You're a wonderful girl but I just don't think we're right for each other."
He watched an array of emotions play across her features before it finally settled on indifference.
"This isn't my first time being rejected Gianni so cut the bull. It's someone else isn't it? What does she have that I don't?"
Gianni felt the pulsing start behind his right eye. Geez could the girl take a hint. He wasn't in the mood for this shit and she acted like they were dating. They fucked one time, nothing more nothing less.
"Valerie there is no one else! I'm just not ready for a relationship andโ"
"It's Leona isn't it?"
Gianni could feel a cold chill go down his back. What the fuck was she getting at? He hurriedly put a cover on his emotions looking at her with a look of indifference to match her own as a sneer covered her face.
"I'm far from a dunce Gianni. I see the way you look at her and the way she looks at you. When I came over today it looked as if you two were about to start a fucking marathon. I'm sure her mother and father would love to know they have a pervert watching their daughter. Or better yetโ"
"You don't know what the fuck you are talking about!"
Gianni's fist slammed down on the table. His cup of water toppled over leaving a mess and Valerie jumped at his show of anger. His blue eyes seemed to ice over as they stared into her frightened green ones.
"You leave Leona and her parents out of this. Learn to take fucking rejection. I don't want you and you just made it glaringly obvious that I made the right decision."
He stood abruptly throwing a twenty onto the table and made his way out of the restaurant without a backwards glance. Thank God they decided to ride in separate cars. He didn't need this shit especially from her.
Valerie stared after him with a look of shock. She couldn't believe he was so rude to her, but then again his reaction at her accusation was exactly what she needed. She knew he had to be covering something. Her shot in the dark with Leona was just something to get under his skin but after seeing his display of emotions she figured she hit the nail right on the head. Plans started to form in her mind of the many ways she could get back at Gianni. No one rejected her.

Leona sat at the dinner table picking at her food. She had little appetite and found herself daydreaming of Gianni. She couldn't believe how fast things changed between the two and found herself wishing Monday would hurry and get here.
"Honey do you not like your meal?"
Leona looked up into the startling green eyes of her stepmother.
"It's fine. I'm just not very hungry."
She put down her fork and looked around the dinner table at her mother and father. They were an odd pair to behold but beautiful none the less. Her dad was tall and dark chocolate. He had the warmest demeanor and a booming voice that seemed to shake walls and demand attention. Her stepmother was tanned and almost as tall just a few inches shorter. She always looked as if she stepped out of a magazine and watching the two bicker always made her smile. Her dad looked up after demolishing his poor steak.
"I'm so proud of you honey. You've been acting so mature lately. Most girls wouldn't be able to handle the fact that they are possibly in danger but you handle it in stride baby girl."
She smiled brightly to match his own.
"Thanks daddy. I just don't like you worrying. Gianni does a good job of watching me. I don't think he would let anything happen."
Her stepmother quirked an eyebrow as she smiled slyly over her glass as she sipped an expensive red wine.
"Gianni now is it? What happened to Prenelli?"
Leona smiled cheekily not letting her rattle her.
"Well he has grown on me a little."
"Oh don't be so modest. Anyone with working eyes can see he's a fine young man."
Her dad stood grabbing his plate and glass.
"That's my cue to leave. I'll be in my study."
A tinkle of laughter spilled from her mother as her father left. Leona soon joined in until they both eventually stopped and huge smiles graced their faces.
"So come on, you can't tell me you've never noticed that Gianni is cute?"
"Well I have, but many men are cute. He's not the only fish in the sea."
"True, but he's the only fish that is around you almost 24/7. Let's go upstairs."
Her mom grabbed her hand and guided her upstairs. They both went inside of her room where they settled on a comfy plush couch that sat further away from the bed in its own territory, like a miniature living room.
"I know we've never talked about sex Leona butโ"
"Mom!"
Leona felt her neck and facing heating up. Why out of all days was her mom trying to talk about this subject now?
"I want you to be safe honey. You're about to go off to college and it's no secret that sex, alcohol, and drugs will be around you 24/7. I want you to know the ins and outs."
"I already know some mom."
Her mother took a sip of her wine and narrowed her eyes at her. She smacked her lips as she polished off the glass of wine and soon sharp assessing green eyes peered into Leona's soul.
"Hmm and what do you know? Are you a virgin?"
"Yes mom! But just because I'm a virgin doesn't mean I'm clueless to how things work."
"Well I understand that it's just...You need to wait for the right one to give up your cookie to."
"Oh my God, momโ"
"Listen Leona, I understand this is uncomfortable but just trust me you will thank me in the long run. Your body is your temple. You do not just let anyone who smiles or looks your way into it. You treat yourself how you want to be treated. If you go around giving up the goods easy than guys will treat you that way and have no reason to think otherwise."
"I know that mom."
"Good. And you should also know that when you do decide that a guy has worked hard enough for you and you decide to give him a piece of your temple that it should be with someone you care about. I won't go as far to say love because in this lifetime honey you'll find yourself falling in love more often than not. But I'll tell you like my mother told me, 'Don't spread your legs for any man you can't see yourself having a life or kids with in the future'".
Leona smiled and leaned over and wrapped her arms around her mother. She was uncomfortable having this talk with her but she was glad that they had. She loved her and wanted to take everything in.
"Thanks mom."
"Oh yeah one more thing."
Her mother stood and made her way over to a night stand. She came back with a box of condoms. Little did she know, Leona already had a few.
"Better safe than sorry."
She smiled before taking the box and leaving to her own room. She couldn't help thinking this was a sign that she needed to take it a bit slower as far as sex with Gianni went. You only got one virginity and she didn't want to feel like she was shedding it out to the first guy to make her hot. She had a lot to think about and much to sort out in her head.

"Leona I'm gone to work. Gianni should be here shortly."
"Okay, bye Daddy."
Leona listened to the front door click close. She watched as her father made his way over to his truck and hopped inside. Once gone Leona stayed rooted to the spot until she saw Gianni pull into her driveway. She felt her pussy quiver at seeing him jump out of his car and make his way nonchalantly to the door. She soon heard the doorbell and made her way downstairs.
She opened the door and Gianni was greeted with a radiant smile. Seeing her so excited to see him made him warm inside and he realized just how much she had worked her way into his thoughts. He pushed his way in closing and locking the door with one hand as he grabbed her waist in another. He pulled her against him and leaned down nipping her neck. She gasped and her arms went around him pulling him in closer.
He abruptly pulled away and looked around as if expecting to be caught.
"Don't worry they're both gone to work."
"I know. I still can't help feeling a little off."
She smiled cheekily at him and began pulling him towards the stairs to go to her room.
"Wait Leona, we have to talk."
She pouted and crossed her arms.
"We can talk in my room."
"You and I both know that's a lie."
