“ I mean…you know my Italian isn't all that good…uhm…yeah, what were we talking about again?” I asked as I looked at everything and everywhere but I avoided looking at Luca, I didn't need to look at him to know the type of emotions that were swimming in his eyes.

I heard him drop the things he was holding then he was standing in front of me.

" I don't think I've ever heard someone sound as sexy as you did speaking my language,” he said as he brought his fingers under my chin to lift my head up.

" Especially when saying I love you,”

" I…I" I stammered, not knowing what to say.

“ Shut up, I love you too," he said as he drew me closer and claimed my lips.

There was something different about this kiss, it was like we were sealing the fact that we've both come to an agreement that we love each other. No more hiding, no more going back and forth.

He nibbled on my lips as his fingers fist my hair pulling me closer like I wasn't close enough.

“ For God's sake, get a room, bless my eyes Lord," I quickly pulled away at the sound of Anna's voice.

I know we were friends but it was embarrassing for her to walk in on me kissing her brother on the kitchen counter and I wonder just how long she has been standing there.

She had a smirk on her lips, so did her brother, bird's of the same feathers.

If not for my leg I would have run out of the kitchen but I had to sit down on this damn kitchen counter while these two siblings just stare at me.

Anna walked to the fridge and opened it to take a bottle of water before closing the fridge.

“ You guys can go back to what you were doing," She said as she started walking out of the kitchen but stopped as she turned to us.

“ By the way, I'll be moving to the other wing so I can stay with dad, so you guys don't have to worry about me walking in on you, you're going to have enough room to do whatever you want," She said as she winked at me before walking away and yelling;

“ I want grandbabies too!"

Luca was finding the situation funny as he laughed.

“ Stop it," I said with a pout.

“ Fine, fine, tell me you love me, say it one more time, or three more times or twenty more times," he said with a broad smile.

" Well, if you wanna hear that from me again it's going to depend on how good your cooking tastes, so if I were you, I'd get busy, this lady here is hungry,” I said as I busied myself with my fingers like they were the most important thing right now.

" Of course milady, I'm at your service,”

He got busy with cooking and indeed he was a sexy ass chef, to spice things up he took off his shirt leaving him in just his pants and was I complaining? Nope.

When he was done cooking he served the food as he carried me to the dining table.

He already pulled a chair so he just kept me slowly on it.

“ Thank…you, wait, you think I wouldn't know chicken arrabiata?” I asked as I looked up at him with my raised brow.

He didn't know I was more of an Italian girl.

“ This looks delicious," I said as he pulled a chair and sat down watching me.

" Let's see if this food is I love you worthy,” I said as I picked the fork and dug into the food.

I took the first bite and I had to fight really hard not to close my eyes at the taste that hit my tongue, I didn't want to give him the satisfaction too soon.

I just shook my head in a ‘ maybe, maybe not ‘ gesture and he just watched me as he placed his hands under his chin.

“ So?" He asked.

“ Wellll, not bad, but I think…” I said as he raised a brow waiting for my answer.

“ Well…”

" Come on, stop doing this to me,” he grumbled impatiently.

“ I think I love you even more,"

“ Yes!" He said, clenching his fist in victory. I couldn't help but laugh as we both started eating.

The food was delicious. My advice to every queen out there, get a man that cooks, especially an Italian man.

When we were done eating he took the dishes and washed them. To think that a billionaire was the one serving me and pampering me like a queen. He could get people to do this for him but he chose to do it himself.

When he finished what he was doing he walked back to me.

“ So what are we going to do next?” He asked as he sat beside me.

“ I thought you were supposed to work from home or something?" I asked.

" Nope, I'm too in love to concentrate on any work right now,” he said and I chuckled.

“ So what should we do?" I asked.

" How about we get to know each other's favorites, I'm ashamed to say but there are a lot of things I don't know about you, I have my ways of finding out about them if I wanted to but I prefer to learn about them from you,” he said,

“ Like?"

“ How about we play twenty questions?" He asked.

" I'll go first,” I said.

“ Favorite musician?"

“ Katherine Westbrook," I narrowed my eyes at him.

“ You can't be serious, I'm not even famous,” I said with a chuckle.

" Nobody sings better than you, in my opinion, don't care what the rest of the world says, remember the song you sang at the wedding?” He asked and I nodded.

" Got a recording of it and I play it anytime I feel sad, especially when I miss you, it's the sweetest sound ever," he said.

I couldn't help the warmth that spread through my heart.

There was no denying that he was the man for me.

*******

“ Hey, that's cheating, you know I'm not so good at chess and you decided to play this game so you could beat my ass,” Katherine said looking so serious as she looked at the chess board with concentration thinking of where to make her next move.

“ I'm going to beat you, watch and see," She said as moved the queen forward which was a wrong move because she was left open without any defense.

I moved the King forward which was a check.

“ Check, I win again," I said as I burst into laughter at the look on her face.

" Why do you always have to win? Just lose, lose, and I thought you were supposed to go soft on me, you're so mean,” She said with a pout.

“ You know I don't do soft, I like…” my phone started ringing, distracting me from what I wanted to say.

It was a call from the police.

" I'll pick this call real quick,” I said,

" It's fine, I'll be waiting for you,” She said and I kissed her lips before standing up.

I walked to somewhere she wouldn't be able to hear me.

“ Hello officer," I said.

“ Hello, Mr. Vincenzo I've got good news and bad news, which one would you want to listen to first?"

“ Just go straight to the point officer, I don't have time for this," I said.

“ The nurse, she's dead and….
