    Chapter 5
                  Luca's pov
Its Sunday and that means today is family dinner at home.
I am happy to get to see my family ...they're some of the most important people in my life and I love them to death.
I'm really close to both my parents and I adore my lil brother.
It makes it worth the week it takes to see them.
Even if I'm having a bad week it immediately turns after I spend even two minutes in their presence.
I pick up Keon and head down stairs excited to be home.
Within a thirty minutes drive we are home.
I'm hardly out of the car before I'm tackled by Kai
That little man is one massive ball of energy and I pray he is always this happy. I know the ways of life but a man  can dream right.
As long as we have hope then every thing is going to be fine.
"Hello my big guy, missed me?" I teased as I tickled him.
"Stop Lu, he tried to stop giggling.
"I'll stop if you admit you missed me."
Okay okay okay!!' I reaaaaaallly missed you Lu. Ma wouldn't let me come see you and Keon." He said hiding in the crook of my kneck.
" Its okay lil guy ....I'll talk to mamma so you can come see me anytime you want to. Is that okay??
'Yes!!!!! He said hugging me again.
You see, for this little man I would move  mountains and bring the sky down for him.
He's the reason I work so hard so he can have the best of everything this world has to offer.
"If you two are done with gossiping , can I get a hug too."
That ladies and gentlemen is Mrs Anderson.
Mother dearest.
Dramatic like her husband as if they're Kai's age if they don't get what they want but don't get it twisted, out there they're very serious and you would not want to mess with them.
They're only like this around us and I wouldn't have it any other way.
"Coming you big baby, I said causing her to laugh knowing I'm right.
I let Keon out and Kai immediately abandoned me for him.
Way to make a guy feel loved.
I left them together and went up the porch where my mum was standing.
"Hey mamma, I said hugging her to me tightly as if I haven't seen her in ages yet  I saw her the other day when she came to see me in the office.
"I've missed you so much." I said while kissing her forehead cause I can.
Lila Anderson is a very short woman standing at around 5"3.
" I've missed you too my boy,"she said.
'Come on let's go see your dad.'
He's locked up in his study. You'd think that after retiring he'd stop working. She scoffed.
Lila Anderson is an author.  One of the very best in the country but she prefers working from home.
She always prioritized us no matter how busy or hectic it got
She always made sure we knew how important family is and to never take it for granted.
My dad was made to understand that work always came second.
So I grew up in the best family and I couldn't thank God enough for it.
"Kai , Keon, come on let's go in, dinner is almost ready.
They came running in.
Those two are too close and I love it for them
We walked in and went to the kitchen tp say hi to our nanny Mrs Rosa.
She's been with us since I was a kid and practically part of the family.
"Hello aunty, I said hugging her to me.
"Ooh my boy, I've missed you." Look at you, you're so skinny. She continued fussing over me.
" Aunty you just saw me last week ....I'm not skinny..I'm eating plenty .
Plus you send over food every day.
"I know , I just worry over you my boy."
"I know...and I immensely love you for it."

After all the pleasantries were shared we settled down for dinner .
My dad was seated at the head of the table with my mum on his right.
I was sitted opposite mum with Kai next to her.
Mama Rosa was sitted next to me and it felt a little like the prefect family.
Keon was off somewhere after already eating.
This right here was my reason for existence.
I am so grateful for each and everyone of them.
Dinner was amazing as always when mama Rosa was in the kitchen.
She honestly makes the best food in the world.
I may be biased but honestly y'all should try it some time.
We shared everything we did for the week and what we were most grateful for with Kai taking over most of the conversation.
My heart felt a little lighter with every conversation and I knew I would be okay for the week I'll be away.
When it was time to leave, Kai wouldn't let go until I promised to allow him visit me at work after school.
He went to pet Keon while I said my goodbyes to my parents and nanny.
With what felt like forever it was finally time to go.
I settled the packed food in the back of the car and set Keon at the front with me.
Mamma always makes sure I carry back enough food to.sustain me during the week since she knows I hate cooking and I'm too busy to do.it anyway.

So as I go back I think of the beautiful evening I had.
It sets my tone for the week and I'm excited for the week.
Here is to yet another busy week
The highlight of the week definitely highlighted.
I also get to see Kyle and Ethan this week.
So.there's something else to look forward to.
