Secrets of the mafia

14. chapter

Luca's pov:

"So... Why did I have to pick out a pretty dress?" Roxy's voice came out from the bathroom. I was sitting on our bed reading something on my phone. When she asked me that question I looked up from my phone. Right then she walked out of the bathroom, with a smile on her face. She came and sat down beside me putting her head on my chest and hugging me from the side.

I looked away from her staying silent for a second, then looking back at her and saying: "I want to take you on a date tonight."
She looked up at me after that and asked why.

I didn't think she would ask that. I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to show that my heart sank a little when she didn't say yes. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to be rude." She moved away from me. I didn't say anything I just looked down to my hands.

"I just... Is it the right time to go on a date?" She asked, but I couldn't help my thoughts. I didn't want to tell her the reason why I want to take her on a date right now. I didn't want to make her sad and upset her even more.

How I was thinking I didn't realize I murmured something and she probably heard it. "...our first and last date..." "What do you mean?"
I looked up when she spoke, but never looked at her. "Look at me."
She said and grabbed my face in her two soft little hands, and turned it towards her. I looked in her eyes, but couldn't read the strong emotions they held. "What do you mean by our first and last date?"

"No. You know what just forget about it." I pulled away and stood up. I walked towards the door and looked back at her. She was standing in front of the bed looking at me. "I... Forget it." I whispered, looked down and went for the door handle. "No wait." She stopped me before I could walk out.

"I just asked a question I didn't mean to sound like I don't want to go. " She looked in my eyes with hope in hers. "Does that mean that you want to go on a date with me?" I asked hopping, that this time she will say yes. And she did.

"Yes, I would love to go on a date with you Lucas." Then she kissed me. Just a slow and sweet kiss. It was everything I needed and everything I wanted.

After a while she pulled away. "I hate to ruin the moment Luca-" "Then don't." I said and kissed her again pulling her closer to my body, if that's even possible. When we ran out off breath, I rested my forehead on hers and held her waist, while she hugged me around my neck. "But I need to get ready." She whispered close to my ear.

"Right. We have a date." I said with a smile. I was happy, but the thoughts that our first date could be the last one, and that after I leave tomorrow morning, I can lose having her by my side for the rest of my life, didn't leave my mind.

She took a few steps back, turned around and walked towards the bathroom. When she didn't hear me move she turned back towards me. "Aren't you gonna get ready, too?" She asked. "Oh no, I have to check on something first." I answered with a smile. "Alright then." She said.

"See you later." I said. "Bye." "Bye." We said our goodbyes, but we didn't move. We stayed still, looking into each others eyes.

Roxy's pov:

Something was wrong with him. He tried to hide it with a smile, but I still catched the fear in his eyes. First I thought it was fear of rejection, but when he said 'our first and last date', it didn't feel like it. It was something else and I couldn't tell what.

I wanted to say that it's not the right time, that we have to find Lia first and make everything like it was before. I wanted to say that I'm tired, because I didn't sleep much since she got kidnapped, that I'm scared and want her back under this roof with us where I know she is okay and safe. I wanted to tell him that he has to rest, because he needs energy for tomorrow and I wanted to say a lot of other things, but I didn't. I didn't say anything, because I didn't want to hurt his feelings with all of his thoughts. So I will do what he told me to do. Put on a pretty dress, get ready and wait till he comes back.
