Biased

San Diego, United States.

On the outskirts of the big city was a four-story apartment. The building looked new compared to the surrounding buildings, but it has been around for seven years. It was well maintained, with a small garden in front. Just then, a new tenant was moving into the building.

In the building, Lucas was carrying a heavy box as he climbed to the third floor. Inside, there were several things he had bought in recent days. Things like plates, cutlery, pans. That was the third box he was carrying, and today he was moving into this building.

Lucas, along with Rose and Caritas, thought hard about what to do with his life from now on. There was, however, a desire that did not conflict with his goals: to go to school. He had never been to school before and was now sixteen. Caritas and Rose didn't seem to care, Caritas just wanted Lucas to meet more women, and at school, he would meet a lot of women his age. Rose, however, was glad Lucas could finally go to school since she knew this was one of his long-standing wishes.

From there, it was the choice of location, and Caritas suggested a big city and listed several different reasons. One of its biggest reasons was the concentration of capable women. She seemed desperate for Lucas to find more beautiful and capable women, which scared Lucas and Rose a little. Why the rush?

Caritas said Lucas can't focus on ordinary women. According to her, although it's okay for him to get in a relationship with one, it will be painful in the future, since not anyone can get a marriage contract. Of course, she also made it clear that much of this has to do with Lucas's ability since theoretically any woman can complete the contract.

So she gave a huge talk about the dangers of falling in love casually since once a God of Love Candidate falls in love, his feelings do not disappear, and only become stronger and stronger. He had to focus on beautiful, intelligent and capable women. Preferably single.

Lucas was a little intimidated, as he had a more "go with the flow" mentality, but seeing how serious Caritas was, he also decided to do things seriously.

After a long time, the three decided the location: San Diego. A big, populous city with beaches... The perfect place to pick up wome- no, the perfect place to mature through lasting, deep relationships as a wise God of Love.

Unknown to Caritas and Rose, inside, Lucas was extremely pleased with their choice of city. So pleased that if he didn't hold back, he might end up jumping with happiness in front of them.

Lucas has always wanted to go to San Diego, and coincidentally for a reason that coincides with his main plans: to find women. There is a woman in this town that Lucas heard about a year ago. She is rumored to be someone with very powerful ability and using only it, managed to create a name in the California underworld.

But that wasn't important, what mattered Lucas was the woman, who according to his mother is extraordinarily beautiful.

Thanks to those words from his mother, Lucas had always wanted to meet her ever since and never had the opportunity. Who knew he had the perfect chance now for that?

He could not be more pleased.

After choosing the location, Lucas spent a whole week with Rose. The two of them stayed together all the time, going on dates, having lunch and dinner together, traveling to scenic cities all over Peru... They were romantic, sweet and beautiful days...

Fuck no.

They had sex like rabbits for seven days straight. They just took breaks for lunch and their needs. Other than that, they spent the rest of their time fornicating. Even both were surprised at how much they were horny. They could not get off each other's bodies. Even Caritas was surprised. According to her, the two have extraordinary chemistry, at the level of falling in love simply through sex, which is very difficult to happen.

Some people have such good sexual chemistry, and they usually fall in love with their partners. They date and marry just because of this chemistry. Couples like this are like fire and gasoline, they just fan each other, and burn more and more.

The problem with these couples is that after a while, if they don't bond with each other, they get tired. The sex is still good, but they feel they need more. Caritas explained that in such cases, it is important to create bonds, for example getting to know better. If they just had sex, in the end, it won't work. Lucky for Lucas and Rose is that they love each other deeply, so amazing sex just gets better and better.

They were like this for a whole week, that's when Caritas came and stopped both of them. She was pleased with the development but knew Lucas had more to do, couldn't just stay with Rose all day. He had other women to go after.

Rose also knew she couldn't stay that way, she only had three more weeks to choose the woman she was going to introduce to Lucas. The two then parted. Lucas went to San Diego, and Rose went back to Thorny Rose headquarters. She also had to take care of the paperwork for Lucas to go to school. Since he had never been to school before, she planned to use her connections to solve this.

As he climbed the stairs with the last box, Lucas was thinking about the last few days. If not for Caritas, it is quite likely that he and Rose would still be drowned in the pleasure of sex. Thinking about sex with Rose, he couldn't help but get excited.

Lucas passed in front of an apartment and saw the number: 301. Following, he found his apartment, 302, and wondered if he should go greet his neighbor. Each floor had four apartments. The staircase is in the center, and when you enter the floor, it is split in two, left and right. Each side has two apartments, so Lucas was only concerned with the apartment next to his, 301.

As he will always have to pass in front of their door, it is important to greet them. Not to mention that in the future he plans to bring people to his apartment, such as friends or girlfriends, so it will be noisy, which may bother them. The apartments also have balconies that are only separated by a small wall. So no matter what, eventually he will interact with the neighbor.

'As the future God of Love, I need to be kind to people, spread love. So I need to forge a friendly relationship with the people around me. This also includes all the people in this building, and especially my neighbor. Later, I will greet them.'

Closing the door of his apartment, Lucas set the box in a corner and began packing his things. Right now, Lucas doesn't have many things as he decided to start a new life. Even these items he bought in the last few days, was grudgingly. He used the fifty thousand dollars he had separated before. But he only bought small things. For example, he had no furniture, no bed. He planned to have a part-time job, amass some money, and think of some way to make money.

Even before the whole God of Love thing, he was already planning to make money from scratch, now that he had the tablet, he knew he could think of something. Money is important to pick up girls.

After packing, Lucas waited a while, and finally the doorbell rang. Outside was a man carrying a mattress in his hand.

"It's here, right?"

The delivery man asked, and Lucas quickly agreed. Bringing the mattress to the bedroom in the apartment, Lucas quickly removed the plastic and tested sitting on it.

"Sign here."

The delivery man handed over a clipboard, and after Lucas signed, left. Picking up his pillow, Lucas lay back on the mattress he bought, looked up at the ceiling of the apartment, and smirked.

'This is where I will start my new life... I'm so excited!'

Maybe the mattress was too comfortable, Lucas became sleepy, and decided to take a nap.

...

18:22.

Lucas got up from the mattress while checking the time on his watch. Looking at the balcony window, it was almost completely dark.

'I need to buy some curtains.'

Lucas thought as he stretched and got up from the mattress. Although he didn't bother earlier since he was tired, Lucas prefers to sleep in the dark, so he knew that if he wanted to take a nap in the afternoon, he had to buy some curtains.

'Wow, here I am thinking of afternoon naps... Never had time to take a nap before, this is so new to me...'

Lucas then heard a noise coming from his belly. Realizing his hunger, he yawned as he left the room looking for something to eat.

'But I have nothing to eat...'

Although he had a good kitchen in his apartment, Lucas hadn't bought the ingredients yet. He just bought the cooking tools.

'Let's eat out then. It's my first day, so I think it's normal.'

Lucas then took a quick shower, put on clean clothes, and left the apartment. Outside, he passed in front of his neighbor's 301 apartment, and paused for a moment, wondering if he should greet.

'Will I just ring the bell anyway? I can not go empty-handed, especially since I must create a good relationship with this neighbor. In the future, I will be involved with several women, and although I do not plan to live here forever, I will still spend time here. The neighbors will find out about me sooner or later, especially the neighbor next door...'

'After all, they will end up seeing different women entering my apartment. I can only pray that they are not too nosy. But that is why I must build good relations with my neighbors. If they have good opinions about me, they won't get too involved, or try not to bother at least. It may be easier to fool them too since I can always use the lie of sister, mother, cousin, etc. '

'Now I need to create a good first impression. '

Leaning against the small wall in front of apartment 301's door, Lucas looked up at the dark sky and considered his options.

'If I don't know the person, it has to be food, right? If it is food, something sweet as it can be eaten anytime. If it is food to eat on time, if the person has already eaten, it will only give them problems.'

'Something other than food... Maybe flowers? No. What if it's a man? Give flowers to a man? Maybe I should find out who lives there first. If I have information, I will know what to give. If it's a woman, it could be flowers. If it's a man... I don't know. Heck, this is harder than I thought. I think the food is simpler, maybe a pudding, or a mousse.'

While Lucas was lost in thought, on the other side of the door, a man was watching him. Although Lucas noticed his presence, he decided to take no action, and stood still in thought, waiting for any action from the person.

Unfortunately, the man only watched him using the peephole all the time. He looked a little worried as he watched Lucas intently.

After a while a woman approached and asked quietly:

"It's him?"

"No."

"He said he was coming today."

"But it's not him, it's a boy."

The woman sighed at this and entered the house again. Sitting on a couch inside the room, she continued to watch the clock with a worried expression. The man finally left the door and came back.

"It's not time yet, he said seven o'clock."

"Yes."

"Are you afraid?"

The man asked, and the woman shivered slightly. Seeing her reaction, the man said nothing more and simply sat on another couch.

"What do you think he wants?"

The woman sighed at the question, and with a thoughtful expression answered.

"I can only think of two things: the warehouse deed, and…"

"Your body."

The woman nodded with a heavy expression.

"You are not like that. Why do you look so scared? "

"You do not understand. Before, I acted strong and made it seem like I didn't care about my daughter. I knew that if I failed, he would blackmail me. I hoped he would believe my bluff and give up on Amy."

"But he didn't fall for the bluff, and waited for you to go after him."

"Yes. You know him, he is an intelligent, powerful and manipulative man. If I showed weakness, he would bite me to death. Even so, he read me like a book. He knew I wasn't going to give up on Amy, and waited for me to get impatient. "

"I couldn't give her up, and although I knew it was a trap, I still called."

"Thanks for being here with me, I don't think I'll be able to do this on my own."

The man approached, sat next to the woman, and holding her hand, smiled.

"No problem. I will always support you, you know that. "

The woman smiled at that, finally relaxing a little.

"Did you think of any strategy?"

"What strategy? We're going to deal, and he has Amy, the biggest card in this game, while I don't have much. Although he covets my body, for him, who has several lovers, it's not that important, it's just a matter of domain, he wants to have me again, simple as that. As for the warehouse, although it's big, and it's worth a lot of money, it's not like he's missing money. "

"But then why would he negotiate with you?"

"He doesn't care about Amy, Jonas, she's a burden to him. A burden he can't wait to throw away. If he can throw this burden away while earning a valuable warehouse and my body, he loses nothing, only wins. Amy is so important because I value her. For him, she is worthless."

The man sighed at the thought of the cute little girl of two years.

...

Outside the apartment, right now, Lucas was facing a man. Earlier, after the man's presence had disappeared from the door, Lucas remained awhile in thought, and finally decided to go eat in a place he saw nearby.

As he was planning to go down, he saw a man coming out of the stairs, heading straight for door 301.

The man looked at Lucas and asked with a gentle smile.

"You are...?"

Lucas realized instantly that smile was a social smile, and began to analyze the man. He wore an expensive black suit, which showed he was rich. Social shoe, an expensive watch, hair gel...

The man looked about twenty-eight and was handsome. From the expensive clothes, Lucas knew he was someone of status. Young, handsome, rich... Someone popular with women. Judging the quality of social smile, Lucas knew he was a businessman who did that for years.

Instantly, Lucas didn't like him.

He's tired of seeing men like this, many even better. More handsome, richer, with better manners. So, Lucas knew, men like this are very shallow, usually arrogant and inconsequential. Most are second generation, daddy's children.

Lucas didn't know if the man in front of him was born rich, or built his business on his own, but it didn't matter since the first impression was horrible. Lucas knew he was being biased, but you can't blame him, he has seen many men like this, and you could even say that he has the property to judge such people from interacting with them in his years as a professional killer.

All his analysis took place in one second. Lucas's first reaction was to cut his throat with a knife or at least punch him in the face. Do what, it's a habit. Fortunately, he managed to hold back and respond with a smile.

"I moved here today. You live here?"

Lucas asked as he nodded to the door, even though he knew he didn't live there. The apartments in this building are very nice. All have a kitchen, three bedrooms, a large bathroom, a living room, and a balcony. It is a good apartment.

Rich men like this man, however, do not live in such places. They usually have a mansion or live in a luxury apartment. Not to mention, of course, that the apartments in this condominium are for rent, not for purchase. Someone rich enough to buy a $ 5,000 suit would not live in a rented apartment.

"Oh no, a friend of mine lives here, I came to talk."

The man's tone in speaking "friend" was strange, Lucas realized at the time that it was a lie, but he didn't unmask it.

"Oh, good then, I didn't know what to do. Can you help me?"

"Oh sure, but..."

"Don't worry, it's a small thing. As I moved here today, I want to greet my neighbor, I live in the apartment next door, but I didn't know how to approach him. I just wish you would let me greet the neighbor with you. "

"Oh sure, no problem. You are very polite. Did you move here alone? "

How nosy, Lucas thought. Generally, people wouldn't ask that kind of question when they just met them, but as Lucas asked for a favor, the man thought he might be a little nosy. Unfortunately, this displeased Lucas, since although he asked for a favor, it is a small thing, not at the level of asking such a question.

'Maybe my guard is too high. I'm being pretty biased too, just because I don't like his appearance and tone. Let's not be stingy. Maybe he is a nice guy. Remember, you will be the God of Love. Let's be friendly, kind, sociable...'

"Yes, I moved alone."

Lucas answered without elaborating, leaving the atmosphere strange. That was as much as he could do, couldn't commit more than that. Not wanting to keep the atmosphere strange for long, the man quickly rang the doorbell of apartment 301.
