Chapter 6: The Day Ricky Met Stephan Biscotti

Lisa had been dating Ricky for a month,   It started out normal enough, but Ricky showed up at the firm to surprise her with flowers and take her to lunch. When he showed up, she was getting ready to go out with Stephen to Bountiful. Ricky handed her the flowers.

Stephen came out and put his hand on her arms. “You ready to go, dear? Oh, flowers, how cute, who’s this?”

“Um Stephen this is my boyfriend Ricky, Ricky this is my best friend Stephen Biscotti.”

 “Hmm boyfriend huh,”

 “Yes Stephen.”

Ricky held his hand out. “Stephen, I heard a lot about you.”

Stephan turned to Lisa and Rolled his eyes.“I wish I could say the same. Boyfriend, Lisa still keeping secrets from me, huh?”

Lisa held her breath for too long and turned around to exhale.

Stephen said, “Well, that was nice of you to stop by just to drop off flowers. Lisa, shall we just leave Baby in the usual spot? We’ll take my car.”

“Baby?” Ricky asked.

Stephen looked at Ricky like he was a fly that landed on his food at the barbecue. “The motorcycle I got her. She named it Baby.”

“ You got her a motorcycle?”

“ Yes.”

“ And you're just friends?”

“Oh what’s wrong Ricky, your best friend never got you a motorcycle?”

Lisa slapped Stephan across his chest. “Stephen! I’m sorry, Ricky, I don’t know what got into him.”

“ Hunger. I’m starving. Nice to meet you and now if that is all you wanted shall we Lisa?”

“ Actually, I have come to take Lisa to lunch today.”

“Oh really, where to?” Stephen asked.

“Bistro.”

“Bistro? Oh how cute, Lisa you’re a bit overdressed for Bistro don’t you think?”

Lisa shield her eyes with her hand. What is going on with Stephan?   He’s acting like a spurn Lover or something. He doesn’t have any right, he has a chance   many chances to tell me he loves me or even wants me. The only thing we share is derrick, and I still am a bit fuzzy on how that happened. Besides, he’s getting married to some woman he didn’t even tell me about. , I can’t have a boyfriend, but I have to watch you with all your skanks? Give me a break, Stephan. “Stephen, you don’t mind, do you?”

“We are eating at Bountiful, Lisa, like we do every day.”

“That is right, Stephen, we do it every day. I could use a change, don’t you think? Now I’m going to uh…”

“ Oh, dear, did you forget it already, Lisa? You’re going to Bistro with Ricky.”

“ Yes, Bistro. I know you can go get one of your numbers to eat with you, Stephen, just for today.”

“If you insist, Lisa dearest.”

“I do Stephen.”

Stephan Grabbed his jacket off the desk.“ Very well, enjoy your lunch, Ricky.”

Lisa went with Ricky to Bistro. She looked around the Restaurant, holding her pocketbook tight against her. God, this place looks so cheap. Nothing like the places Stephan takes me. We have been waiting for a table for twenty-five minutes now where is the service, if I was with Stephan at Bountiful right now we would be eating already. The lightening here sucks, Bountiful has way better lighting than this and a comfortable atmosphere. The waiter came towards them and nearly away when Lisa grabbed his arm. “Um, excuse me, I hate to be unpleasant, but we have been waiting for a table for nearly thirty minutes. Can we get some service, please?”

The waiter put a false smile on his face. “Oh, you would like some service? Well so would a lot of people, and you are stopping me from   servicing one of our customers so just have a seat wherever you want, and I’ll be with you when I can alright Princess?”

Lisa released his arm and placed her hand on her chest. Oh my god,   what attitude, Stephan would never put up with anyone speaking to me like that, especially not his employees. If this were bountiful, he would be gone. I wonder how Steph’s doing?

Ricky chuckled at Lisa’s reaction and led her to a small table. “So how long have you known Stephen?”

“ You would think we’d known each other for all our lives, but it’s only been five going on six years.”

“ And in that short time he thought it was okay that he brought you a motorcycle?”

“Stephen does what he wants to do. He never asks me if he could do anything, he just does it.”

“ And you don’t see anything wrong with that?”

“I guess I’m just use to him.” after they talked for what seemed like forever, They made plans for dinner and waited for the waiter to take their order.

Meanwhile, Stephen was eating at Bountiful and pissed. Everything was going great until that Ricky showed up. She has to know her place in our relationship. I will not let him take her from me, and how dare she go to lunch with him? If she wanted a fresh choice, she could have asked me. No, it’s not her fault, I know it’s not. It’s his, Ricky may have won the last battle, but he won’t win this one, and he already lost the war he will rue the day that he tried to take what belongs to A Damanios. Stephen picked up his cellphone. “Hey Barry it’s Me Stephan,  Lisa’s been playing around again.    No same as last time,   yeah, just call me if or when they go to our Apartment. Yeah, thanks, talk to you soon.” Stephan hung up and called a close business associate of his father, who owned a wolf who just had cubs. The man with the wolf cub told Stephan he was in luck. He had the pure white wolf cub Stephan was looking for, but it would cost him two thousand dollars instead of the twelve hundred the man usually sold the cubs for.

Stephen told him no problem and left Bountiful. He went to get the wolf cub a bowl, a book on how to take care of one, and a red bow to go around its neck.
