“ Hey Debbie, how are you? Sorry, I was asleep when you called, Luca told me and I just got so busy that I forgot to call back,” I said.
" It's okay, I've just been worried, how are you feeling?” She asked.
" Better than when I woke up,” I said as my eyes met Luca before taking my eyes off him.
" I've been waiting for the address to come see you but you haven't sent any to me, why's that? Is it that you don't want me to see you?” She asked.
" I'm sorry sis, it's not like that, the police moved me to a safe house and they've restricted me from receiving guests, family or not. So that's why I didn't send you any address because I'm no longer at Luca's house, I'm sure the officers would get mad if they find me making a call right now, they said I have to stay low until the investigation is over,” I said.
It felt like my heart was going to burst out of my chest from the way it was beating so fast, it was like I would soon say what I'm not supposed to say.
“ Oh really? When did this happen? I thought just this morning you were at Luca’s?" She asked.
“ Well, uhm, it was after the police got footages from the hotel, they said it seems like someone is desperately after me," I said.
“ Oh, as long as you're safe and doing okay where you are, that's okay, I just want to know you're fine," She said.
" I'm doing okay, you don't have to worry,” I said.
" Who's taking care of you over there?" She asked. My eyes quickly went to Luca as I fidgeted.
“ A nurse, I have a special nurse," I said.
“ That's good, makes me feel better that you're being taken care of, please call me as soon as you can receive visitors," She said.
“ Alright, I will, take care of yourself and be careful out there please," I said.
Just what if she wasn't the villain and her life was also in danger?
“ I will, take care sis, I love you,” She said.
" I love you too,” And I meant it.
I ended the call and for a moment I just remained silent as I tried to process all that just happened.
" When did I become such a good liar?” I whispered.
" It's for the best,” Luca said as he took my hand that wasn't bandaged and rubbed his thumb on it.
" I feel so bad about this, I feel so bad really, I'm really going to be feeling guilty for the rest of my life if all this turns out to be just a hunch, because I don't know, but I have a feeling it's not her, I just know it,” I said.
" That's why we have to do a thorough investigation, it's better to be safe than sorry,” He said as he drew me closer and then brought me to sit on his lap.
" I know you're sad but I know something that would make you feel better,” He suddenly said as he kissed me on the head.
" What's that, if I might ask?”
" Well, a good meal by a sexy Italian chef,” he said.
" Wait, you're going to bring a hot Italian guy to cook for me?” I asked with a smile as I pulled from the hug to look at his face.
" Bring what guy? I'm the only hot Italian guy you know,” I said as he glared at me, I was trying so hard not to laugh.
" No you're not, there are a lot of…" I didn't get to finish what I wanted to say. He covered my lips with a kiss.
He kissed my lips like it was his special drug and my hand automatically went around his neck drawing him closer as our tongues moved in a slow dance. Just when I was getting deep into the kiss he pulled away.
“ I'm the only hot, handsome Italian guy you know," he said as he looked me deep in the eyes like he could see my soul.
“But there are…” he covered my lips again as he kissed me hard that this time I was the one to pull away when I ran out of breath.
" Is this your way of telling me you want me to keep kissing you? Because I'm going to keep kissing you until you accept that I'm the only hot Italian guy you know,” he said and I couldn't help but chuckle.
" Yeah, yeah, I was just messing with you," I said.
" So what would you like for lunch milady?” He asked as his hand wrapped around my waist.
" Anything this hot Italian guy makes is fine as long as there's dessert,” I said as I licked my lips and he got the message.
He pulled closer to me as he nibbled on my earlobe then he whispered;
“ The only reason I'm not tying you to my bed right now is because I'm waiting for you to recover, as soon as that happens, you're going to be spending long hours beneath me for all the teasing you've been doing,” he said before pulling back like he didn't just open a dam.
“ Let's go make lunch shall we?" He asked with raised brows as I just continued to stare at his lips.
“ Yeah, let's go make lunch," I said without removing my eyes from his lips.
“ You know if you keep looking at me like that, I might prefer you for lunch," he said as he stood up with me and I wrapped my legs around his waist but the action was painful and he quickly noticed so he carried me bridal style instead.
When we got to the kitchen he sat me on the kitchen counter as he got busy in the kitchen.
“ What are you planning on making?" I asked as I watched him.
" I'm making a special Italian meal, don't think you know it,” he said and I couldn't help but laugh.
" You do realize I'm Italian too, right? Se non ti amassi, direi che sei pazzo.”
( Translation )
….If not because I love you, I'd say you're crazy,”
It was after I said those words that I realized what I just said and my hand quickly covered my mouth in shock.
