Love in pieces

Chapter3

She felt an involuntary urge to be rude to him, as she had been through a tough day and wasn't in the mood for any talks. However, the moment their eyes met, she found herself mesmerized by his warm smile and kind eyes. Her irritation faded, replaced by a curiosity that drew her in.

Hi there," he said with a friendly smile. "I couldn't help but notice you from across the table. Mind if I join you? Errm my name is Dario"

She hesitated for a moment, caught between her initial impulse to be dismissive and the genuine charm she saw in Dario. Ultimately, she couldn't resist his appeal and gestured to the empty seat across from herm and moreover she still has not gotten the money for her rent yet.

"Sure, have a seat," she replied, returning his smile. "I'm Leora."

"Dario," he introduced himself again, taking the seat. "Nice to meet you, Leora."

Leora nodded, “Okay.” Her curiosity growing as she took in Dario's friendly demeanor. "Likewise, Dario. So, what brings you to this place?" she asked, hoping to steer the conversation away from her own troubles for a moment.

"Oh, just passing through town," he replied. "I travel a lot for work, and I like to explore new places whenever I can. How about you? Do you come here often?"

Leora shrugged. "I do, but not for leisure," she said with a slight sigh. "I work nearby, so this place is convenient for grabbing a quick bite."

Dario leaned forward, showing genuine interest. "What do you do for work? If you don't mind me asking.”

She obviously doesn’t do anything so she lied. “I'm a freelance graphic designer," Leora explained. "It has its ups and downs, but I love the creative freedom it gives me."

Dario's eyes lit up. "That's incredible! I've always admired people who can turn their creativity into a career. Maybe we could collaborate on something someday."

As the night wore on and the bar began to close, Dario suggested they go for a walk outside to enjoy the cool evening breeze. Leora hesitated momentarily, considering what she just went through few hours ago. But something in her heart urged her to seize the moment and let go of her worries.

"Sure, why not," Leora agreed with a smile, pushing aside her concerns for the time being.

Dario has already mapped out his intentions for her, which is to sleep with her tonight. So he remained waiting for the moment he will ask her if she wants to too.

As they walked together, He continued to charm Leora with stories of his travels and adventures. Leora found herself surprisingly at ease in his company, her earlier frustrations fading away, but also she has a clear attention, to see if she will get some money from him. However, she couldn't ignore a subtle shift in the conversation and Dario's body language.

As they reached a quiet spot, Dario turned to her with a smile "Ermm... Leora, I hope this is not too weird and I'm not being too forward" he said gently. "Would you like to spend the night with me?"

Leora startled by the question looked at him a bit nauseous. “What?”

Dario repeated again. “I wanna sleep with you.”

Leora giggling. “waoh… slow there Mr, I mean we just met.”

Dario confidently. “Yeah..i know I know, but you are really attractive and I can’t help it.”

Leora blushing. “wow..you really mean it.”

Dario looked a bit disappointed but nodded understandingly. "I apologize if I overstepped. I truly value our short time together and didn't mean to rush things."

Leora smiled, relieved that he took it well. "No need to apologize. I'm just being honest with how I feel," she assured him.”

She moved closer to him moving her hand slowly on his chest. “I still wanna do it. I mean you – you are hot and very handsome too.”

So Dario replied grabbing her by the waist and kissing her before they stopped a taxi and he took her to a hotel. It was a night to remember as they had a lot of fun together.

The next morning, Dario decided to surprise her by giving her a cheque of Ten thousand pounds. Which covers her rent money and many other things.

“OMG this is too much.” Leora exclaimed.

“There’s a lot of this where this came from if we continue to do this.” Dario replied.

Leora not understanding what he said. “what do you mean?”

Dario explaining things better to her. “I mean, if we continue having s*x with me I will pay you more.”

Leora thought about it for a second before replying him. “Do you think I am a hooker?”

“No..no..no!” Dario replied “I just meant we could be doing this casually and I will pay you”

Leora replied defensively protecting her reputation. “That’s what hookers do” But knowing that she really needs that money she replied “Okay let’s do it” Dario was surprised by her answer but he didn’t give it much thought yet. They spent a little time together before, he drove her to her apartment.

Leora smiling back at him. “It was a pleasure meeting you Dario. I had fun last night.”

Dario replying her and smiling back “me too, so when will I see you again?” He asked

“I will give you a call.” Leora replied.

With that Dario drove off and she happily went into her important, at first she was thinking not to call him again but she remember her situation and then decided she will stick to the deal.
