The Airbnb was stunning—like sothing straight out of a luxury ho magazine. Every corner of the house scread elegance and style.
The living room was massive, with a plush cream colored couch that looked so soft it could swallow you whole.
A glass coffee table sat in the center, its surface spotless and reflecting the golden chandelier hanging above.
The walls were painted a subtle gray, with modern art pieces hanging strategically, making the space feel both chic and cozy.
The dining area flowed seamlessly from the living room, with a sleek wooden table surrounded by chairs that looked more expensive than Hugo's entire wardrobe.
The kitchen was a masterpiece in itself—gleaming white cabinets, marble countertops, and state of the art appliances that looked like they belonged in a professional chef's kitchen.
Floor to ceiling windows lined the back wall, offering a breathtaking view of a perfectly landscaped garden, complete with a stone pathway, a small pool, and even a tiny gazebo.
Hugo liked the house. Really, he did. But Jenna? Oh, he liked her way more.
She walked ahead of them, leading the tour with a confident stride. Her heels clicked softly against the polished floor, and every step sent Hugo's heart racing.
From his position behind her, Hugo had the perfect view—enhanced, of course, by the divine sight glasses perched on his nose.
And it was such a sight!
The glasses didn't just show Jenna; they revealed everything. Her snug skirt highlighted every curve, and her hips swayed in a rhythm so hypnotic it could've been set to music.
Her perky, round butt jiggled and bounced ever so slightly with each step, like it was putting on a private show just for him.
Hugo's eyes were wide and unblinking, practically glued to the sight in front of him. His face was a mix of awe and disbelief, like he'd just stumbled upon the eighth wonder of the world.
'This… this is paradise. Who needs a mansion when you've got this view? These glasses are a gift from the gods. No, scratch that—they're the best invention in history! Forget electricity. Forget airplanes. Divine sight glasses are the real MVP.'
Hugo was so focused on Jenna that he didn't notice he was walking a little funny.
His trousers had a slight, ahem, issue, but he tried his best to hide it by holding his phone awkwardly in front of him. 'Stay calm, Hugo. You're a gentleman. A gentleman with a really amazing view.'
To distract himself, Hugo turned to Collins, who was busy admiring the living room. "So, what do you think of this place?" Hugo asked, trying to sound casual despite his flustered state.
Collins nodded thoughtfully. "I actually like it. It's got a nice vibe."
Hugo sighed in relief. Finally, so good news. "Great! Then rent it already. Let's wrap this up and call it a day."
But Collins wasn't done yet. He scratched his chin, pretending to think. "Hmm… but what if the next place is even better? You never know."
Hugo's relief turned into frustration in an instant. He threw his hands in the air, his voice rising an octave.
"Collins, we've been walking around for hours! My feet hurt, my brain hurts, and I've seen enough houses to open my own real estate agency. Just rent this one already!"
Collins smirked. "Relax, man. It's not that serious."
"Oh, it's serious," Hugo muttered, glaring at him. "If you don't rent this place, I swear I'll—" He paused, realizing he had no real threats left. "I'll scream. Right here. Loudly."
Collins chuckled and finally gave in. "Alright, alright. Fine. I'll book it."
Hugo let out a long breath, his shoulders relaxing. Finally, so peace. He really couldn't bear the thought of going through another house.
It was just for one party for god sake!
As Collins completed the paynt, Hugo's mind drifted back to Jenna.
She was standing by the counter, typing sothing into her phone, her beauty even more radiant under the soft lights.
'Alright, Hugo, this is your chance. Just walk up to her and ask for her number. Play it cool. You've got this.'
He straightened his shirt and adjusted his hair, hyping himself up for the big mont. Just as he was about to approach, Jenna's phone buzzed, and she answered it with a smile.
"Hi, honey!" she said sweetly. Hugo froze mid step, his heart sinking like a rock. "Yeah, I'm wrapping up with so clients. I'll be ho soon. Love you too."
Hugo stood there, staring at her, his dreams shattering into tiny pieces.
His gaze drifted to her left hand, and sure enough, there it was—a shiny gold wedding ring glinting under the light.
'Honey? LOVE YOU? She's married? Of course, she's married. A woman like that? There's no way she's single. Stupid, stupid Hugo.'
It actually hurt. He would have liked to see her assets directly and even touch them. Such a pity...
Collins noticed Hugo's defeated expression and raised an eyebrow. "You good?"
"Oh, I'm fine," Hugo lied, his voice a little too high pitched. Internally, he was screaming. 'Her husband must be the luckiest man alive. I hope he steps on a Lego!'
He was currently feeling so indescribable feelings at the mont. Angry, frustrated, a little guilty as well...
Tch!
Jenna turned back to them, oblivious to Hugo's turmoil. "Thank you so much for choosing this property! If you need anything else, don't hesitate to reach out."
Hugo forced a smile and gave her a polite nod, but inside, he was mourning the loss of what could've been. As they left the house, Hugo sighed deeply, shoving his hands in his pockets.
