In His Arms

"I'm Delphine" the lady said as she caressed Leon's body. Feeling every arch of his abs. "I see you look very troubled. A kiss for your thoughts?" She winked at him.

Leon shifted his gaze back to her. 'What a feisty thing'.

"Do you have an idea who you're dealing with?" He asked, looking as he twirled the wine in his glass before he looked at her face.

"Wouldn't you like to tell me now?" Delphine smiled as her finger went from his abs, making way to his neck.

Leon caught her hand before it could reach his chest and the lady smiled victoriously. She looked happy that she got a reaction from him.

"I'm Leon" he kissed her knuckles.

They chatted for awhile, getting to know each other. Leon realized that the other ladies looked angry that Delphine had gotten his attention. And Delphine was being extra touchy, riling the ladies up the more.

"Are you here alone?" Leon asked her as he picked a wine glass from the wine table and handed it to her

"I am." She sipped the wine and muttered a thank you. "What about you?"

"No. I'm here with my best friend"

Best friend. The word sound foreign to him. He couldn't remember the last time he referred to Vienna as his best friend. Could he even call her that again, seeing that she had Camy and Phina now.

"Oh I bet he's as hot as you are" Delphine purred and rubbed her hand on Leon's arm.

Leon chuckled. "No. Anna's a she."

Delphine's hand stopped and she looked at him, waiting for him to laugh it off and say he was pulling her legs.

"A woman?" She asked when Leon didn't say anything. He just nodded and continued with his drink.

Phina had already arrived and she looked EXTRA as Vee glanced at her. Was all her dressing for Leon? Phina liked wearing dark clothes but this time she was putting on a royal blue short flay dress and heels. Phina was wearing heels! Her brown hair was held at a side by a clip and she actually looked like something out of a book.

"Phina!" Camy squealed and squeezed her in a hug.

"Too much Cams" Phina spoke, out of breath.

"You look so different" Vee's eyes widened in surprise.

"Thanks" Phina giggled. "Where's Leon?"

"Well before you see Leon, you need a drink. Cause he will be shocked" Vee said as she took Phina to where Camy's neighbors were.

Camy laughed as she noticed the jealousy on Vienna's face. She clearly didn't want Phina to see Leon and she was passing up time by keeping Phina occupied till it was time to go home. Smart Vee, as always.

The girls and Camy's neighbors chatted a while until Theo came. Camy basically ran into his arms and her neighbors awed at the sight. But Vee knew better and was glaring hard at him as he held Camy and kissed her, making her blush like a school girl.

"Hey Vienna, Phina" Theo greeted.

Vee fumed at his innocent gesture. This guy was a big fake. One moment he was kissing Camy and proclaiming his love for her then the next moment he was trying to kiss her friend behind her back. Vee wondered if he was only after Camy's money. Ofcourse he was. Before she could respond with a fake smile to his greeting, he had already spilled his glass of champagne on her.

And she was wearing a white dress! Damn this fake guy again! Vee glared at him.

"I'm so sorry" Theo said and a look of mischief flashed in his eyes, so fast no one else but Vienna saw it.

"Vee!" Camy shrieked.

Vee's glare turned into an eye roll. She knew how Camy would react. Camy was very skeptical when it came to clothes and shoes or anything concerning appearances. Vienna was sure that if not for her father's business, Camy would have wanted to be a fashion designer.

"It's nothing Cams" Vee sighed.

"Nothing?! Your dress is a disaster. You need to go clean it up before it becomes a permanent stain"

"I'm really good Cams" she looked at Theo and a smile was playing on his lips. Ofcourse he had done this on purpose. He knew Camy would react this way.

But Vienna had another issue now, she needed to keep Phina from Leon. She didn't know why, but that was what her conscience was telling her to do.

"Come I'll take you to my room to clean up"

Before Vee could protest, Theo had already stepped inbetween her and Camy.

"It's alright babe. You sit with the girls while I take Vee upstairs. I need to get something anyways."

Camy was so helplessly inlove that she didn't even ask what Theo wanted to get and just nodded with a smile.

"Alright be a good girl Vee and clean up. Hurry!"

Vee walked ahead helplessly. She couldn't argue with Camy at this rate, she couldn't also stop Phina from sneaking out of the circle and now she was sure the wine would leave a permanent stain on her dress.

When they got to the room door, Vienna turned to Theo. "Alright you can go now."

"I need to get something from the room remember? Don't worry, I won't bite" he smiled as he opened the door and gestured for Vee to walk in.

They both entered inside and Vienna headed to the bathroom without giving Theo a second glance. Theo on the other hand quietly locked the door and kept the keys in a safe place.

.

Phina had finally found Leon while wandering about in the massive penthouse. Her heart thundered as Leon leaned in and hugged her as soon as he saw her.

"Hey. I was about asking where you were."

Phina blushed. Had Leon been missing her?

Just then a blonde girl in a skimpy dress came rushing to Leon and held his arm in a protective manner. Phina's eyes shot daggers as she stared at Leon's arm in the woman's grasp.

"Oh is this your friend you told me about?" The girl asked.

"No-um yes. Actually this is Anna's friend, Phina. Phina, meet Delphine"

Phina's heart stopped at the way Leon had just introduced her. Just Anna's friend? So she was nothing more to him than just a friend of Vienna's? Not even his?

"Oh" Delphine let out with a satisfied smile. "Well then let's get going Lee"

Leon ignored her and faced Phina. "Where's Vienna?"

"She was with Camy a while ago. Theo spilled wine on her and then Camy was freaking out, I just had to leave"

"Take me to her" Leon said, releasing himself from Delphine and grabbing Phina's arm.

Phina didn't care if he was rough or not, he was holding her and that was all that mattered.

"Sure" she said giving Delphine a mocking look before she led Leon away.

Vee had figured out that it wasn't champagne that Theo had spilled on her but water. That jerk face!

She came out of the bathroom, boiling. "What is wrong with you?"

"Did you think I would actually spill wine on you Vienna? How could you think so lowly of me?" He asked with a smirk.

Vienna ignored him and made to open the door but it wouldn't budge. She tried a number of times before she realized that Theo had locked the door, seeing that he wasn't even bothered.

She sighed and turned slowly to face him and he was already standing few steps from her. "The keys" she simply stretched out her hand.

Instead Theo grabbed her hand and drew her to the bed, with him underneath her. Vee struggled to move but it seemed his grip was tighter this time.

"Door's locked, keys hidden, just you and me Vienna" he said in a husky voice.

Was this guy really going to be like this? She looked around the room and found the keys on the night stand.

Ofcourse keys are hidden, she internally rolled her eyes. She struggled to move again and felt something hard poking her navel. She gasped in shock. This guy was very disgusting!

"You see what you did now Vienna" Theo said with an irritating smile Vee frowned at.

Just what would she do to this guy to make him learn?

"Now you have to pay for waking up a monster at rest"

Vee sighed in defeat. "Fine. How about I take care of him for you?" She asked, with the most fake charming smile she could muster. She even felt disgusted saying those words.

Theo seemed happy and released her. She stood and drew Theo up with her and then he gently pushed her to the wall. "Show me what you've got"

Vienna held him at arm's length and then she traced her finger from the side of his face to his chin, doing it very slowly that Theo even closed his eyes. And with a wicked smirk on her face, Vee raised her leg and kneed him in the groin. She made sure her impact was so hard that he would take a while to recover.

"Ahh!!" Theo crouched down with his hands over his member.

"I hope that took care of him" Vee said with a mocking smile as she walked to the bedside table and grabbed the keys.

"Ugh! You bitch!" Theo yelled, still writhing in pain on the floor.

"Asshole" and then she was out of the room.

"Where's Anna?" Leon asked immediately they got to Camy.

"Oh she's upstairs with Theo" Camy answered like it was nothing. "An incident happened so Theo had to take her to clean up"

Leon stared unbelievably at Camy. No wonder Vee didn't want to speak to her about Theo's advances, Camy was obviously blinded by love. This was one of the reasons Leon had decided not to do anything love, it only brings hurt and betrayal.

But hearing that Vienna was upstairs with Theo. He was about to run mad, he couldn't imagine what Theo was doing to her. He didn't know how to feel and what to do. Before he could reach for his hair and pull it in anger, Vee walked down the stairs with a small smile on her lips. Then his legs moved on its own and she was already in his arms, and before he could think of what he was doing, he kissed her.
