His greatest love.

Chapter 17.

"The food was amazing... Thanks!!!" Diana said taking a sip of her fresh juice and he smiled.

"Am glad you enjoyed it!!!" Gio said looking into her beautiful eyes.

"So tell me... What was so important??" She said calmly placing her glass on the table gracefully.

"Look, I know we are friends now and God knows it was difficult to get here so I really don't want to mess this up!!! I really enjoy your company, being there for you–"

"I sense a but coming..."

"I want more!!!"

"More??"

"I want you not just as a friend!!! I want to be the man that will kiss you, the man that you'll be thinking about, the man that your heart wants, the one that you're body wants... I want to be the only man that can fuck you just how you want it–"

"Do you hear yourself?? Am like extremely pregnant right now!!!"

"I know Pierce, I can see that!!!"

"Then that should tell you that I already have a man in my life and that's enough man trouble for me!!!"

"Where is he??!"

"The fact that you don't see him does not mean he doesn't exist!!!"

"The fact that he exists doesn't mean I should ignore my feelings!!!"

"It means exactly that!!!"

"Do you want my honest truth??"

"No actually!! I don't think I can handle anymore of your honest truths!!!"

"I did all this because I respect you so much!!! Renting out an entire restaurant for me to tell you my feelings for you, having all of your recent cravings on the menu is something that I haven't done for any woman in my life!!!"

"So now what?? You want me to pay you back?? Newsflash Mr De Luca, I can afford it too so name your price!!!"

"I know you can afford it and I don't want you to pay me back!!! I just wanted to show you that the effort that am putting in to be your man is something I haven't done before!!! It may sound crazy but I never chase after women but you... You do things to me Pierce and for the first time in a really long time nothing else matters to me!! I've done a lot of crazy things in my life but I've never been more scared of anything like I am of this moment!!!"

"What of my husband??! The father of my baby??  What should I do with this information??"

"Fuck your husband I don't care about him!!! I'll be the father to your baby!!!"

"You can't just say that!!!"

"What?? That I'll be the father to your baby???"

"My baby already has a father!!!" She said irritated and he stood up and brought his seat beside her.

"Like I said I don't care!!!" He said calmly as he sat down beside her facing her.

"What do you want from me??" She said facing him noticing how close they were to each other but he maintained eye contact pushing some of her hair behind her ear.

"I want you!!!" He said calmly as he held the back of her head.

"Gio we can't!!" She said silently and he bit his lower lip.

"Even my name sounds so sexy from your mouth!!" He said chuckling lightly and she rolled her eyes.

"Go tell that to your hoes!! Am sure they'll appreciate the compliment!!!" She said smirking lightly and he pecked her cheek.

"Why should I lie??" He said kissing the corner of her lips.

"I can't give you what you want!!!" She whispered lightly before he placed his lips over hers. Their lips moved in the perfect rhythm and she held the back of his neck deepening the passionate kiss. Their tongues collided in passion for a while but she suddenly broke off the kiss.

"Am tired!!! Will you drive me home or should I get an Uber!!!" She said looking away and he chuckled.

"I'll drive you home!!!" He said smiling as she got her things. He helped her to her feet and carried her things as they left. They got inside his black suv and he drove off.

"So when is your due date!!!" He said breaking the silence in the car.

"Why do you want to know???" She said calmly looking outside.

"Just cause!!!"

"Is that even an answer???"

"Am just concerned!!!"

"Next week!!!"

"Alright!!! Do have that bag that mothers have for the baby??"

"How do you know about that bag??? You've been a dad before???"

"Nope!!! You're child will be my first!!!"

"Mr De Luca please don't–"

"Back to the Mr?? I thought we were passed that!!!"

"We'll never be passed that!!!... Look that kiss was a mistake and I'd really appreciate it if we never talk about it ever!!!"

"I can't do that!!!"

"Why???"

"It's not that easy!!!"

"Am sure you've kissed a lot of women so it won't be that difficult!!!" She said calmly as he pulled over in front of her luxurious house. He leaned over to her and kissed her passionately. Their lips moving in a perfect rhythm as their tongues connected perfectly. She held the back of his neck deepening the kiss as he held on to her firmly when suddenly their moment of passion was cut short by loud barking from inside Diana's compound.

"I have to go!!!" She whispered against his lips and he kissed her again before breaking it off.

"Yeah I understand!!!" He said composing himself before he stepped out of the car and walked over to her side. He opened the door for her and helped her out of the car as she murmured her thanks.

"Will you call me??" He said silently as he looked into her eyes.

"I'll think about it!!!" She said calmly.

"I'll call you!!!"

"Some distance will help you forget everything!!!"

"I won't try to forget anything because I don't want to!!! That kiss proved that you want me to be yours just as bad as I want you to be mine!!!"

"That kiss doesn't mean anything!!!"

"Then I dare you to forget about it!!!!"

"What happens if I do???"

"We'll discuss that after!!!" He said silently as the barks got louder.

"Goodnight Mr De Luca!!!" She said lightly before walking away.

"How many dogs are inside???" He asked as the barking continued and she chuckled.

"Three cane corso including Sultan!!" She said walking to the gate.

"Sultan is a big dog!!!" He said lightly.

"Wait till he's fully grown!!!" She said laughing lightly.

"Goodnight Doc!!!"

"Goodnight to you too!!" She said calmly and he got inside the car and drove off as she got inside her luxurious compound.
