Logan's eyes ask her for an explanation and Scorpia says: "I have to go somewhere but we're going to have fun in the cafe tonight."

Logan pulls her closer, "I don't like surprises, Bonnie."

"I'll give you a hint, handsome Scot; Invite all your friends. Because it's going to be a Bonnie-worthy night." She laughs and kisses him wildly.

She walks into the bedroom and pulls a box from the bottom of the closet, opening it to pull hotpants and cowboy boots out of it. She lays them down on the bed, together with her 'special' push-up bra. She's excited about it as she puts on some skinny jeans, her stiletto boots, and a top with spaghetti straps.

She comes out of the bedroom again and catches Logan frowning at his phone. "Dino says he's definitely coming tonight with Bart. And that Violetta knows?"

Logan is very confused and Scorpia laughs.

Scorpia says: "Maybe we should invite sexy Lexy too." She starts to type on her phone and Lexy replies rapidly that they will meet in the cafe.

Scorpia kisses Logan, "See you later, handsome Scot." She hops down the stairs and waves at Marco and Grazia as she walks out, where Freya is already waiting for her in Ricardo's pick-up.

Scorpia gets in and Freya says: "The shirts are in the bag behind your chair."

Scorpia pulls the bag to the front and laughs. All white strapless shirts with Bonnie on it. Tight and short. Scorpia laughs, "The men are going to die tonight."

Freya parks in front of Frank's bar and they both walk up to the door and Scorpia gets lifted up by Brad the second she's inside. She squeals and laughs.

Brad hugs her, "I missed you girl!"

"I missed you too Brad. Will you be there tonight?"

"For sure. Frank and I don't want to miss this!" He laughs and yells at Frank: "The hottest is here honey!"

Frank exclaims: "Out of my way! I have to hug my dream woman."

Scorpia laughs and meets him halfway. They hug each other, both wearing wide smiles on their faces. Frank asks: "And? Have you kept the boots and hotpants?"

"Oh yeah."

"And the Scot has never seen you in them before?"

"No, just on the photographs behind the bar."

"He's not going to kick us out of his bar, is he?"

"He won't. Especially not after you've decided that the tips will go to a good cause. But why do you have to close for the night?"

He takes her to the dressing rooms and shows her the damage. Everything's flooded. "Waterpipe burst. So the girls don't have space to themselves for now. But Freya came up with tonight's idea. Come, let's put our heads together and I'll introduce you to the other girls."

They walk back in and Frank walks over to the bar. He introduces her to girls of all shapes and sizes.

She smiles and shakes hands with them all. "Wow, Frank. You have a rainbow worth of girls!"

"Right? Every color, taste, and size." He laughs and the girls all stare at Scorpia.

Scorpia asks Freya to explain what the plan for tonight is.

Freya says: "We're all going to be working in Bonnie. With a top on and it stays on! Got it? We don't want Logan to have to close his cafe. Other than that, you can do what you normally do and if you want to do more than flirt, you leave the cafe. Brad and Frank are coming too and if anyone wants to see more of you, just invite them to Frank's bar tomorrow night. All the tips we make tonight will go to 'Manon's Girls'. A wonderful good cause that helps out girls who were forced to make money with their bodies. It seemed fitting to me."

She looks at all of the girls and they nod enthusiastically. Freya grins and adds: "Hotpants, cowboy bots, and the top I will give you. And we're bringing the music we play here. Oh and one more thing; do not touch the tall, ginger Scot if you want to live."

One of the girls asks: "Do you mean the pretty man that Bruno brought over?"

Freya looks at Scorpia, who says: "Yes. He's mine. So hands off. He's also the owner of Bonnie to be clear."

Frank grabs her hand and looks at the ring. He shoots her a questioning look and she nods.

He turns around, walks behind the bar, and unlocks the secret cabinet there. He takes out the bottle of expensive whisky and says: "I'll bring it with me tonight, Scorpia. Your man deserves it after the night is over. And we'll stick flyers on the windows to send everyone to Bonnie."

Scorpia smiles, "I can't wait. I'm excited about it! Oh, Freya? Do we have an extra shirt? For sexy Lexy?"

Freya laughs and pulls two shirts from the bag at her feet. "Does she need hotpants and cowboy boots too?"

Scorpia sends Lexy a message and asks for her sizes. Lexy replies quickly and Scorpia takes hotpants and cowboy boots for Lexy too. She says goodbye to everyone and Freya drops her off at the cafe again

Freya asks: "And? Good idea?"

"Yes, Freya. I love it! Thank you!"

She walks into the cafe and runs upstairs to put the clothes down on the bed. She runs back down and searches for Logan with her eyes. Grazia nods at the kitchen and she finds Logan at the counter. She hugs him from behind and rests her head against his back.

He turns around and hugs her tightly. "Mmm Bonnie. At what time does the circus start tonight?"

Scorpia laughs, "Lexy and Bruno will be here around seven-thirty and the fun will only increase after that. Did you invite your friends?"

He nods, "I'm worried they will only look at you, Bonnie. Most of them haven't met you yet."

Scorpia chuckles, "Oh trust me beautiful Scot, they will definitely have a lot to look at. But I'm not the only pretty thing here tonight. It's not even going to stop at Lexy and Freya."

Logan searches her eyes for more information, "At least you're looking forward to it, Bonnie."

She nods and wraps her arms around his neck. "Kiss me, Logan." He does as she asked and kisses her deep and slow while his hands massage her butt. She moans softly and pushes her body against his.

Grazia clears her throat, "The people who ordered those sandwiches are starting to get hungry, boss." Logan grumbles and shoots her a dirty look. Grazia laughs, "If you continue on the kitchen table, I'll finish the sandwiches."

Scorpia giggles as Logan picks her up and sits her down on the table. He continues what he started and slides his hand under her top. "Mmm Bonnie, I care a little less every day."

Scorpia chuckles, "Yes, until I'm back at work and you see me on every surface in your head."

"Oh hell, Bonnie." He kisses her again before taking a step back. "So yummy you are, Bonnie. That can't end well today."

Scorpia jumps off the table and sways her hips as she walks back into the cafe. She sits down at the table again to watch more clips of Duane. Her phone rings and she sees Bart's name on the screen. She looks at the sleeping Leo first before picking up.

"Hey, Bart. How are you?"

"Hey, boss. I'm fine. I'm calling about tonight. Can I bring Johnny and his cousin too?"

"Um, are they single? There will be a lot of sexy women in the cafe tonight, Bart."

"Oh yeah, we know." He laughs, "Manon told me to have fun. And I think Johnny and his cousin are single."

"Well then, by all means, bring them along."

"And Logan still doesn't know? Not even that you are joining the girls?"

"No, not a thing. Lexy is joining me too. And Freya of course. And all of Frank's girls. He really has a wide variety, so much fun. I'll see you tonight Bart. Let's go wild before the tournament."

"Yes! See you tonight, boss!"

Scorpia chuckles as she hangs up and reads through some e-mails but there's nothing that requires her input. She hears Leo wake up and closes the laptop. She peeks into the stroller as Leo rubs his eye.

"Mommy! Amo!"

"Hello, my sweet man. Are you done sleeping? Cause mommy could do with a good cuddle."

She lifts him from the stroller and holds him against her chest. She kisses the top of his head and he drifts off again. She can smell he needs to be changed and mumbles: "Well, there goes mommy's cuddle moment."

Logan walks up to them, "Is that our cub I'm smelling?" He laughs and takes Leo from her. "Shall I change him?" She nods but then she suddenly realizes her outfit for tonight is still on the bed.

She grabs the laptop and runs after them. She overtakes them right before the stairs and Leo giggles. She runs upstairs and pulls the comforter over the clothes. She lets out a relieved sigh and Logan walks in laughing.

"Is there someone hiding in the closet, Bonnie? Did you have to hide your lover?"

She laughs and shakes her head.

Scorpia helps Logan gather everything to change Leo and Logan changes the diaper with a smile on his face. "It's amazing how such a little boy can produce a smell like this."

Leo makes farting noises and Scorpia chuckles.

Scorpia tickles Leo, "You're a little skunk. But a cute skunk."

Logan disposes of the dirty diaper and lifts Leo from the bed. He dances with him on his arm and winks at Scorpia. Leo giggles and waves his arms and legs around.

Scorpia enjoys the view of the two most important men in her life. "I love you."

Logan looks at Leo with a serious expression on his face, "And Leo? Do we love mommy a little too?"

Leo happily yells: "Mommy amo!"

Logan laughs, "What he said."

Scorpia laughs along and makes her way over to them. "Leo? You're visiting nonna and Matteo today. And I think Lucas, Enzo, and Pia will be there later."

Leo frowns as he looks at her lips before smiling and saying: "Teo amo! Pia amo!"

Scorpia and Logan exchange a proud look. They walk back downstairs together and take a seat on a bench by the window. Logan is sitting across from Scorpia with Leo in his lap and Leo is babbling away to her with a recognizable word here and there. He sounds so happy that they enjoy listening to him.

Marco comes up to their table, "Do you want to order something to eat? Fries or something?"

Leo stops talking, turns his face to Marco, and says: "Yes. Amo."

They all laugh and Marco says: "Fries for mister Leo. Anything else?"

Logan says: "Just make us a bunch of different snacks, so we can test what Leo likes. But there has to be a croquette in the mix." He winks at Scorpia and she blows him a kiss in return.

Grazia walks up with a box of crayons and a few sheets of paper and puts them on the table.

Leo looks at it and says: "Ohhh."

Scorpia opens the box and takes a crayon out of it, grabs a sheet of paper, and draws a big heart on it. Logan shakes the crayons out of the box and onto the table, putting a sheet of paper in front of Leo.

Leo picks up a crayon and tastes it. He makes a face and Logan chuckles, "Not yummy, Leo?"

Logan takes Leo's hand in his and draws a line on the paper. Leo's eye darts between the paper and the crayon before trying to draw himself. He giggles when he manages to leave a mark on the white surface.

He gets lost in it and Logan says: "He already has more talent than both of us together. He would have been able to make something beautiful with that body paint."

Scorpia bursts out in laughter, "It's an experience we will never forget. But our little man seems to love this."

Leo draws on the paper wildly and then moves onto the table. Logan laughs, "Hold it, Picasso! Don't wreck daddy's cafe. We need to serve guests here."

Marco arrives with a plate of fries and mayo and Leo tosses the crayon aside to clap his hands. Marco laughs and puts the food on the table. Leo grabs a fry and sucks on it, making happy noises.

Grazia comes up with a sippy cup, a pot of tea, and two mugs. She puts the teapot on the table as far away from Leo as she can and crouches in front of the bench to offer Leo the sippy cup. He takes it from her and shakes it. Grazia chuckles, "Yes, make sure it doesn't leak."

Logan helps him by taking the soggy fry from Leo's mouth and replacing it with the spout of the sippy cup. Leo frowns and sucks on it carefully. He grins and sucks on it harder. "Ohhh mmm."

Grazia gets up, "I think Leo approves. It's half juice, half water."

Scorpia and Logan thank her and Scorpia pours tea into the mugs.

Marco is back with a plate full of snacks and says: "Have a good meal, family."

Scorpia looks at him, "Are you coming tonight, Marco?"

"To work?"

"No, for fun. Logan is off around eight as well." Logan raises his eyebrow slowly and Scorpia adds amused: "Yes Logan, you're off tonight after eight. Because there will be so many experienced Bonnie's in here that you can relax at the bar."

Marco looks at her, "Ooh, that sure sounds interesting. I'll be here."

He walks off and Scorpia takes a bite from her croquette. Logan tries to find more information in her eyes but Leo slams his cup on the table before Logan gets to ask for more details. Logan takes the cup from him and asks: "What's looking good Leo?" He picks up the plate and holds it in front of Leo.

Leo looks at it all and then tries to grab the hotdog. Logan breaks a piece off and blows on it. He feeds it to Leo when it's cooled off enough. Leo frowns and pushes the piece of meat back out.

Scorpia chuckles, "A hotdog is not yummy either, daddy. But mommy has a plan." She gets up and walks behind the bar to grab a few cheese cookies. She offers Leo one and he immediately puts it in his mouth and his little eye widens when the taste hits him. He grins as he happily sucks on the cookie. Scorpia leans back satisfied and eats her croquette.

Logan eats the hotdog before asking: "When are we taking our cub to mamma's?"

Leo looks at Scorpia, "Mommy amo."

"Yeah, right. You just want another cookie." She gives him another one and he rushes to put it in his mouth. She laughs and eats a fry. Logan chuckles and eats a few fries himself.

Scorpia says: "When he's sleeping? Or is that cruel? Might be better if we take him when he's awake. We'll see if he wants some milk after this and if he feels like a nap."

Logan nods and they eat the fries together as Leo devours the cheese cookie. Logan takes a bite of the cheeseroll and Leo stares at it. Logan notices and breaks a tiny piece off and feeds it to Leo. Leo closes his eyes, "Mmm amo." Logan takes another bite and then feeds Leo a piece again.

They eat and drink some more until Leo gets tired. Logan carries him to the stroller and tucks him in. He parks the stroller close to Scorpia and sits down next to her, pulling her onto his lap. "Cuddle and kiss, right?" He kisses her softly as Scorpia runs her fingers through his hair.

"Mmm, yes handsome Scot. As much as possible." They get so lost in each other that the food and tea go cold. Marco and Grazia silently clear the table and work hard. Logan moves his lips to Scorpia's neck, peppering her skin there with kisses. Scorpia moans softly and clings to his shoulders. 

Logan licks her neck slowly and she says: "Mmm Logannnn."

He grins against her skin, "That's still a lot of fun. But we better stop Bonnie or I won't be able to control myself." Scorpia fans herself, looking at him, golden specks floating in her brown pupils. Logan cups her face and looks deep into her eyes. "Oh Bonnie, you're so beautiful. I love you."

"I love you too Logan. Forever."

She sits down next to him and Grazia serves them two glasses of cold water. She winks and walks away to serve the rest of the drinks on her tray. Scorpia chuckles and takes in her surroundings. The cafe is pretty packed but she hadn't noticed that till now. She takes a sip of her water and notices one of the guests over at the next table giving Logan a thumbs up.

Logan laughs softly and wraps his arm around Scorpia. He takes a sip of his water too and watches the guests and his hardworking staff.
