A Date With Lisa

Tonight was his first date with Lisa, a charming and elegant lady Leo had met a few weeks ago after an accident. Determined to make a lasting impression as his first official date since attaining celebrity status, Leo had made reservations at an exclusive and expensive restaurant in town.

As he drove to pick up Lisa, Leo's mind was filled with numerous thoughts about what to do differently this time. After doing the same thing repeatedly, Leo has long grown bored with these things and wondered what he could do to switch things up.

Arriving at Lisa's doorstep, Leo took a deep breath to steady himself. He rang the doorbell, and after what felt like an eternity, the door slowly swung open, revealing Lisa standing there, her beauty illuminating the room. She was wearing an elegant black dress that complemented her figure perfectly, and her smile was infectious.

"Hi, Leo," she said, her voice sweet and melodious. "You look absolutely dashing tonight."

Leo smiled slightly, unable to hide his delight. "Thanks. You look absolutely stunning yourself. Shall we?"

They walked arm in arm towards his car, engaging in light-hearted banter along the way. The journey to the restaurant was filled with laughter and stories, their chemistry palpable.

As they arrived at the restaurant, Leo held the door open for Lisa and led her inside. The atmosphere was refined and sophisticated, with soft lighting and exquisite decor. The maître d' greeted them warmly and showed them to their table, positioned by a window overlooking a serene garden.

The menu, adorned with golden letters, featured a delightful array of culinary masterpieces. Leo, wanting to spend some of his ill-gotten wealth, had taken the liberty of pre-selecting a few dishes, each one a culinary adventure. They began with a plate of fresh oysters, served with a zesty mignonette sauce, a delicacy that delighted their taste buds.

Their conversation flowed effortlessly as they savored the flavors of their entrées. The main course arrived, presenting an impeccably cooked filet mignon accompanied by a rich truffle risotto. The presentation alone was a work of art, and the taste surpassed their highest expectations.

Between bites, Leo and Lisa discovered shared interests and a mutual passion for adventure. They talked about their travels, their favorite books, and their hopes for the future. The conversation never faltered, and laughter filled the air as they bonded over shared anecdotes and jokes.

After the main course, Leo ordered a dessert to share—a decadent chocolate lava cake, adorned with a scoop of velvety vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of raspberry coulis. The combination of flavors was pure indulgence, mirroring the growing connection between them.

But of course, all this was made possible because of the system. Leo could feel the mood and immerse himself in it, making it easier for him to bond with these people. At this point, he has become more machine than man. He just did things because he could and cared not about the consequences.

He looked her in her eyes and saw her hunger for him. She wanted to eat him up as soon as she got the chance to, but Leo decided to let her starve a bit longer.

"Let's go for a ride." Leo said with a confident smile.

"Now? Where?" Lisa was alarmed as Leo quickly rose to his feet and reached for her while walking away.

"To wherever the wind takes us." Leo's response came in the form of a whisper, but she heard every single word

It was like he was giving her the option to either follow him without question or get left behind.

Vroooom!

The engine roared as the black car sped through the highway, hitting over 140 KM per hour. With the roof retracted and the breeze brushing against their hair, the two were allowed to see the world in a whole new dimension.

At first, Lisa was terrified of a possible accident since that's how she met Leo, but now she felt different. She seemed to trust in his driving skills so much she didn't seem to care that his foot never left seemed to leave the pedal. It felt like she was overwhelmed by a hidden side of her which has been constantly getting triggered by Leo throughout the night.

Their hearts intertwined, and the engine roared to life as they succumbed to the allure of speed. With the wind caressing their faces, they raced through the night, chasing ephemeral freedom.

The road stretched out before them, a ribbon of asphalt cutting through the darkness. Ignoring the boundaries of safety, they pushed their limits, fueling their passion with every passing mile. Adrenaline coursed through their veins, as the world blurred into streaks of light and shadow.

With each curve they embraced, their love deepened, their souls intertwining in perfect harmony. The symphony of their beating hearts drowned out the hum of the engine, as they danced with danger on the edge of control. Time ceased to exist; it was only the two of them, their connection transcending the physical realm.

The night sky witnessed their love affair, as stars shimmered and twinkled above, applauding their audacity. Their laughter mingled with the night air, echoing into the vastness of the universe. They were invincible, a duo united by their shared passion and a burning desire to break free from the chains of convention.

The car finally came to a halt as the two arrived at the closest hotel they could find at their location. Leo paid for a suite and had Lisa go up before taking a last tour around the hotel to check the surroundings. Not only was he curious, but he was also cautious.

After getting involved in fights, assassination attempts and finally running his dark organization, Leo had taken an interest in darker colors for his outfit, and become more security conscious.

As soon as he was done, he returned to his room only to realize Lisa was in the bathroom. Leo simply took off his shirt and waited patiently for her to finish. He watched as Lisa stepped out of the bathroom with her curves fully revealed under a towel.

Lisa met his gaze and looked away shyly, while Leo smiled at her attitude. He stood up and walked into the bathroom and took a long shower alone. As the hot water rained on him, he felt like a lot of burdens were getting washed away as well.

It felt like the stress of the past two weeks of living two different lives was slightly more than what he had accepted initially. This could be considered the longest two weeks of his life.
