Hooked at love

Chapter 20

"Why doesn't he try to talk to her again?" asks Larissa, sipping her cocktail.
"You know your father he's stubble", Chenna says and throws a red, small ball to Shay in the sandbox.
"It's been 3 days", she says and Chenna shrugs her shoulders.
"I know, sweetie. I don't know what's going on with him", she says, looking at her with a worried face.
"He's just working and distancing himself from everyone. It must be his new partner. "
"He's got a new partner? " Larissa asks confusedly.
"Yes Jerome Kastel" says Chenna.

There's a knock on his door to the office and his secretary walks in.
"Boss, there's someone for you. " she points him out and Tynan looks up. Through the open door, his best friend comes in with a huge grin.
"Hello Buddy", he says grinily and Tynan smiles.
"Thank you Sofia they can go again", he says and gets up. Sofia nods and closes the door behind her.
"Hey Luca, what are you doing here ?" asks Tynan and they strike.
"I have something urgent to discuss with you", he says and Tynan's face gets serious.
"What?" he asks and sits down on the sofa.

Luca joins him and looks at him. He reaches into his inner jackets pocket and pulls out a small red box. Tynan looks at the box questioningly and then at him. Luca opens the box and Tynan raises his eyebrows. Inside the box is a golden, shiny, thin ring.

"You're not going to ask me if I want to marry you?" he asks in horror and makes a playful, shocked face. Luca laughs and twists his eyes.

"Of course I wanted to", he says and Tynna lets out a dull laugh.
"It's for Mia", says Luca and gives Tynan the box.
"So you want to ask her?" he asks and takes out the ring.
"Yes, it just feels so right with her. With her, my life is complete, so I just have to marry her. I don't know what I'd do without that girl. " he says with a smile and Tynan looks closely at the ring. He puts it back in the box and gives it back to Luca.
"I'm really glad to hear that", he says with a smile.
"Thank you, I want you to be there when I ask her"
"I'd like to be there", Tynan says with a smile.
"How are you going to ask her? "
"I tell her that we meet again for dinner, we go at 6pm to the restaurant -Dosella Kastella- and then I say after the appetizer I need to go to the bathroom. The waitress knows and they play a romantic and quiet song. Then I'll come down with a rose in my hand and kneel before her. " he explains and smiles.
"A great idea", says Tynan, patting his best friend on the shoulder.
"You can take Larissa with you, so you won't be so alone if the two of us go away", says Luca, winking at him.
"Hm" thinks Tynan "I'll ask her", he says and Luca smiles.
"Tell me then, I have to go back. See you tomorrow", he says and they shake hands.
"I'll see you tomorrow", Tynan says goodbye and sits down at the desk. Luca leaves The room and Tynan takes out his cell phone.

Hello, Larissa.
I hope you don't have any plans tomorrow
Luca wants to propose to Mia
and he would be happy
if you were there.
You and Mia are getting closer.
So what do you say?

Greet your admirer.

Ps: I would also love to see you again.

A minute later, his phone vibrates.

Larissa
Hello, Tynan.
How nice to hear from you.
I don't know, isn't that a little too private?
I mean so well I know
Neither of them.

I hope you and your little Louisa are all right.

Larissa <3

Ps: I can imagine that, I would also be happy . . . .

On Tynan's face comes a slight smile.
