chapter Twenty-two

Just a Taste

Shannon

Despite the sting of Luca’s rejection, the night of our first real date outside of this apartment, I had a great time at dinner. Well other than having a soaked thong from that kiss. I think I squirmed the whole time.

One thing that came of that night that I could not be happier about is actual affection from Luca. Long gone are the light pecks on the head and my cheek. He now kisses my lips whenever the mood strikes him, which happens to be often now.

I know I should be over the moon about that, but it is driving me insane because while his lips know mine very well, I want more. I want more than a hot kiss or a little nibbling on my neck. I’m just too afraid to try to go after it.

I don’t think I can take Luca rejecting me one more time. I know I am an idiot for it, but I have fallen deeper in love with him. How could I not? Luca is smart, funny, and so damn sexy. Over the last two weeks, he has shown me so many sides of him. It was like that first dinner was just the beginning. Since than Luca has taken me to the movies, out dancing, to parties with his friends and out to a few clubs.

Not that we didn’t do these types of things in the past. We did, but it is different this time. Luca is different. It is like he is really putting effort into courting me. Like this is a real relationship to him.

I think my favorite date so far has been the day he drove us out to a vineyard. It was a long drive, but an amazing one. Luca talked about growing up as a little boy. He talked about his relationship with his mother.

I have always known Luca’s mother to be a sweet and loving woman, but he painted such an amazing picture of her that I became jealous of him. Jealousy aside, I loved watching his eyes sparkle with love and happiness as he held the steering wheel with one hand and my hand with the other.

“My mother wants us to come out to the house next weekend. She misses you. Maybe some time with her will jog your memory. She loves you,” Luca says with a beaming smile.

“If she is making those blueberry tarts I am there,” I sing happily.

I feel the moment Luca stiffens. His hold on my hand tightens and his head snaps towards me from the road. His eyes remain on me for so long I start to squirm and that is when I realize my mistake.

His mom had made her famous tarts for my birthday one year and I fell in love with them. From then on she had made them for me anytime I would come over to her place no matter what. A few times after Luca ran off, his mother sent some over to Valentina’s place with Uri when she knew I was in town.
