CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Brianna
I’M NOT SURE what last night was about, but after waking up, my body sore and my heart full, I can’t stop smiling. I love that Luca couldn’t stay away, that he needed to be with me as much as I needed to be with him. It’s true we have to talk, and I wanted to last night, but I didn’t want to break the magical spell between us. And when it came right down to it, Luca didn’t appear to be in the mood for talking.
I kick my sheets off and stretch out. Noise comes from the other side of the adjoining door. I guess everyone is up but me. Probably because they weren’t up having the best sex of their life last night. Glancing at myself in the mirror, I try to wipe the smirk from my face. I’m not up to answering a million and one questions. No way would Amber let it go. But then another thought hits. When I talk to Luca, I have to be completely honest with him, and that means telling him I knew exactly who he was when we were introduced, and why I seduced him. Will he laugh it off, or be angry that I would do something so juvenile? I hurry to the bathroom, make myself somewhat presentable and brush my teeth before meeting the girls.
“What’s all the commotion in here,” I ask as I open the adjoining door. “You’d think someone was having a party.”
“Just in time,” Amber says and pours me a mimosa.
“This is going to go straight to my head,” I say and make my way to the tray of food that must have been delivered earlier. I pick up a strawberry, pop it into my mouth and reach for a muffin. I don’t usually eat like this, but...
Summer comes out of the bathroom in her pajamas, looking happy, radiant and a bit jittery, as one would on her wedding day. I smile at her, so happy for her and Tate.
I glance at Cara, who is sitting on the bed, sipping her drink and flipping the pages of the newspaper.
“Hair and makeup will be here within the hour,” Summer says. “Until then we can relax. Although I’m finding that hard to do.”
I settle onto the sofa and nibble on my muffin. Beside me, Cara chuckles. I glance over at her as Amber and Summer talk hairstyles.
“What’s up?”
“This guy. What a douchebag. His name is Marco L. Marino, from Massara, Italy.” My mind races—Luca’s last name is Marino—as she glances up at me. “I think the L must stand for loser.”
“What did he do?” I ask and stand to sit beside her. Is it possible he’s related to Luca? She shuffles over and I sit cross-legged next to her on the bed.
“He got caught having sex with his kid’s nanny, who is barely legal.” She angles the paper for me to see, and I scan the article. Something niggles in the back of my brain and I grab on to it.
