Vincent

You are twenty-four years old.

Once again, your parents started telling you that it was time to get married, or at least start dating someone, but you weren’t at all interested in the topic of relationships, which you talked about repeatedly.

One morning at breakfast, your parents told you you had to go on a date to an expensive restaurant with the son of their good friends. You were categorically against it, but does anyone care what you think?

So, you're sitting in a beautiful, expensive restaurant. In front of you is your mom's friend's son. You couldn't remember his name, because you didn't even try. He was terribly boring, and he wasn't your type! He had zero charisma... zero beauty, no sense of humor, and he was a scrawny guy! He just had a pretty face.

You looked around boredly, trying to distract yourself. Suddenly, your gaze caught a handsome man in a suit. Dark hair, a toned, muscular body, charisma, a deep voice, and money, too. That's your type. A waitress approached you and asked, "What do you want?"

— I'm a vegan. I'll have a salad, please.

Said the cute boy sitting in front of you. You barely kept yourself from snorting with disdain. A vegan guy is the worst thing in this world.

— I'll have a beef steak, very juicy.

You said confidently and deliberately slowly in a sweet voice.

Meanwhile, at another table sat the mafia boss, Vincent Twain. The one who's "your type." When he heard your order, he chuckled slightly and spoke quietly, but so that it could be heard.

• What kind of man is he if he doesn’t eat meat?

He found it amusing to watch this, but outwardly Twain remained calm.

— Anything else?

The waitress asked, writing down orders in a notebook.

— I'll have some tea, please.

The son of your mom's friend replied, later explaining to you that he doesn't drink. You barely resisted the urge to roll your eyes again.

— I'll have whiskey on the rocks.

Vincent couldn't hold back his smile. The man turned halfway around and said to the waitress.

• I will pay for the entire portion of this sweet lady's order....
