Hottest Food

London School of Economics.

"It looks like you met my student already" said Caroline looking at Paul and Diana.

"We just exchanged few words in the auditorium" said Paul giving a glance at Diana.

"Hey beautiful. My name is Leonard. I'm best friend of this guy here. Nice to meet you" said Leo swooping between Paul and Diana grabbing her hand.

"Hello. I'm Diana. Nice to meet you too" said Diana politely.

"Keep away from her" Paul nudged Leo aside and said to him telepathically.

"Oh...bro, do you like her?" asked Leo through his mind.

Though both Paul and Leo are having a "conversation" with each other, for Caroline and Diana it looked like they are having a staring contest.

"Diana. Have you had your lunch yet?" asked Caroline looking at Diana ignoring the duo.

Paul took a quick turn towards Diana. Seeing this Leo got amazed. "Wow. is this the same iceberg Paul I knew?" he thought.

He had never seen Paul like this because every girl who approached him were rejected coldly. This made everyone in the kings to think that Paul was gay.

"No I didn't yet. I'm busy with organizing your lecture notes" said Diana.

Caroline clapped her hands once and said, " Nice, why don't you join us for the lunch then?"

Which prompted an immediate smile on the face of Paul.

"Bro!!! stop grinning like that. you will scare her away" said Leo again through telepathy. Hearing this Paul quickly changed back to his poker face.

"Sure" said Diana politely to Caroline.

"Good. You guys go to the car. I have somethings to clear up here, so I'll meet you outside" said Caroline and started to picking up some files from her desk.

"I'll help you, ma'am" said Diana hurriedly. She is Caroline's students. It is one of her jobs to assist her teacher with this minor things.

"You don't have to Diana" said Caroline but Diana acted like she didn't heard her and carried on with picking up the documents.

"Okay. we'll both go out then" said Paul and left the cabin with Leo.

"Bro. It seems like you are love struck with that Diana" said Leo while walking through the campus of LSE, looking at Paul.

"Who? Me? Nah!!" said Paul avoiding the gaze of Leo.

"Come on. Be a man. You are Iceberg Paul. Don't act like this infromf of me" said Leo.

"True, why am I acting like this? This is not the first time I met a beautiful lady" thought Paul.

"I don't know dude" said Paul with a frigid smile.

"It's okay. You have the great Leonard here. I'll help you with this matter" said Leo proudly and loudly, which made students around to look at them strangely.

"isn't that Caroline Pendragon's son?" said a student.

"Yeah it is.Take a picture.Take a picture" said his friend while trying to take her phone out.

"Look what you did. Why don't you be little low key" said Paul and he again activated his virtual device jammers.

"Dude, you are one who acted high and mighty in the auditorium before" said Leo with a twitch.

Looking at the students trying to surround them. They hurriedly left the campus and reached the parking lot.

After fifteen minutes or so they picked up Caroline and Diana in the Hummer alpha and drove off into the streets.

"What do you like to eat Diana?" asked Caroline stunning Diana for a second. She recovered and said "I'm okay with anything ma'am" politely.

"I want to eat signature dishes of London" said Leo looking back at Caroline.

"That will be Fish and Chips then" said Caroline.

"Why don't we have something chinese" said Paul while driving and asked leo, " Leo, you like spicy food right?"

"Yes ofcourse. But it should be very hot for me" said Leo seriously.

Leonard is a absolute spicy food freak.He even entered a food competition between galactic level organizations in Droniad sector.The thing is, people in Droniad sector only eat spiciest food in the whole universe but Leonard got first place there, shocking the whole sector.

"Then take left turn here. There is a restaurant called Park Chinois in Mayfair. They serve best wagyu beef" said Caroline.

But before Paul could turn the car, Diana said, " If you want spicy food, there is one in Soho. It is famous for their Sichuan cuisine"

"Then we will go to this Soho place" said Leonard looking at Paul with wide eyes.

"Fine. Where is this place?" said Paul.

"Take right at the next signal" said Diana.

Paul followed her directions and within few minutes they reached the restaurant with a huge letters saying "Barshu".

The restaurant is full of customers but luckily there is a table available for them to sit. The waitress gave the menu and left.

"So Diana you like hot food too?" asked Leonard with a smug face because Paul hates spicy food and listening to what Leo asked Paul turned his attention towards Diana.

"Not at all. One of my friends love spicy food. So I came with her to this place once" said Diana.

"Really!! Even Paul don't like spicy food" said Leo grinning.

"She didn't asked you that" said Paul seriously.

Caroline who is looking at them sensed that her son's odd behaviour but she kept silent.

The waitress came back to take their order and Paul ordered one spiciest dish the restaurant can make for Leo and five more regular dishes for the three of them.

"Sir, we use ghost pepper with more than 1 million SHU(1). Can you guys handle it?" said the waitress with a slight concern.

"No problem. Actually, what is the spiciest pepper you guys have?" asked Leonard.

"It is Carolina reaper. It has 2.2 million SHU " said the waiteress.

"I don't know what this SHU means but prepare a dish with both Carolina reaper and Ghost peppers. Make it extra spicy on top of that" said Leonard smiling.

The waitress looked at Leo dumbfounded. She ran into the kitchen and after sometime she back with a chef behind her.

"Sir, I heard that you asked for the dish with Carolina reapers and ghost peppers. It is very dangerous for human body to take this much amount of heat. I think you should reconsider" said the Chef looking at Leo.

Leo got annoyed with all this and said "I understand that. So please go and being what I asked"

Chef gave a sigh and said " Sure, by the time I prepare the dish, Can you sign in this form here? it says our restaurant is not responsible for whatever medical complications you get from eating this this" and handed out a paper.

"Leonard, you should think about it again" said Caroline. Though she know that Leo is not from planet earth, she thinks Leo can't handle such heat. Diana nodded vigorously for what Caroline said.

"Mom, Don't worry about it" said Paul and took the form the chef giving it to Leo. Leo signed it and gave it back to chef.

The chef took back the form and hurried into the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

The customers in the restaurant can hear this conversation clearly and are amazed knowing what Leonard wants to do.

"Kid, call for an ambulance in advance. you should need it" said a chinese man with a slight concern to which the other customers nodded.

"Are you guys sure about this?" Caroline asked again.

"Aunty, don't worry this is just a dessert to me" said Leonard.

After sometime a waitress brought out the dishes followed by the Chef personly holding the dish ordered by Leonard. It is red covered with all the peppers. The smell itself is bringing tears on the faces of people sitting near them.

The kept it in front of Leonard and said, "Sir, if you can finish this bowl, our restaurant will serve you free whenever you dine with us"

"Okay" said Leo and immediately started to eat the food. When he took the first bite the whole restaurant is waiting for him to shout out loud.

But Leo kept eating the dish. Paul who expected this started to eat his own food but Diana and Caroline are still looking at Leonard dazed.

Within minutes Leonard completed the whole bowl and said "Wow!! This food really good but a bit more spicier will do"

A lady fell down from her chair listening to what Leonard said. All the others looking at Leonard were shocked to see him doing fine after eating this hellish food.

"You guys should also eat. The food will get cold" said Paul nonchalantly. This is normal for him.

"I love this food. what's the name of this dish?" asked Leonard to the chef standing beside him.

"It don't have any name yet. As you are the first one to eat it, you can name it" said Chef still in daze.

"Then call it Leo's special. Simple and clear" said Leo with a wide smile and continued

"Bring me one more Leo's special"
