-Gabrielle's POV-
"It's time to go." Lucas said stepping into my room. "Okay." I said picking my bag up off the floor.
"Let me take those." Lucas said reaching for my bags.
"Thank you. I said as he picked up 3 of my bags leaving me with two and my carry on. We walked out of my room, bags in hand.
"Ladies first." he said allowing me to go down first.
"I guess there are some good guys left in the world." I said looking at his face.
"Just because I'm in the mafia doesn't mean I don't know how to treat women." he said.
"Whoever your girlfriend is, she's extremely lucky." I said as I reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Are you ready?" Theo asked. I nodded looking away from him, and turned my attention my parents. "Mama, Dad take care of yourselves." I said wrapping my arms around both of them. "You too." they said. I stood there taking in their thick Italian accents. "Treat her good." my mother told Theo. "Yes mam." he responded. "Bye." I said picking up my bags and walked out of the house.
"Wait!" my mother yelled. I turned around to see my mother teary-eyed and broken. "Take this." she said giving me her necklace from around her neck. "Lo ti amo. Non bisogna dimenticate mai che (I love you. Never forget that)." she told me placing the necklace around my neck. I nodded my head not trusting my voice.
"Come on." Theo said bringing me back to reality. I turned back around to face the black SUV. I noticed that Lucas had taken my bags. I walked to the SUV sitting in the back seat beside Theo. "Are y'all ready?" The driver asked.
"Yes, drive us back to our private jet." Theo said keeping his response short. It didn't take long to get to the private jet. "You can sit anywhere you want; the plane ride isn't that long." Theo said as he led me into the private jet. I climbed into the jet and sat down beside the window. I put my headphones in my ears, and put my music in shuffle. I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Do you need anything?" the man asked. "No, but thank you." I said putting my headphones, back onto my ears. After about 15 minutes of listening to music. I myself letting sleep consume me.
-12:27 p.m.-
I was awakened by Theo my arm. "I'm up, I'm up." I said repeating myself. "We're here." Theo said getting off of the jet. I got up and realized that I was the only person left on the jet. I got out of the chair and stretched letting my stiff bones crack. I finally got my things together and got off the jet. Once I was off I looked up to see a 4 story house with an outside pool.
"Well this is Lucas and I's transition house. Your room is on the 3rd floor 2nd door to the right. Oh, and I'm going to the game room y'all can do whatever." Theo said walking into the house. I grabbed two of my bags, and Lucas grabbed the others. We took them into the Theo gave me directions to.
"Do you want to go swimming with me?" Lucas asked
. "Yeah. I'll meet you there." I said as he closed the door. I quickly found my bathing suit putting it on. I grabbed a towel and went down to the pool.
-Lucas' POV-
I watched as Gabrielle stepped into the pool letting her body adjust to the cold water. I quickly averted my gaze away from her as she looked at me.
"Lucas?" she asked.
"Yeah." I responded trying to pay attention to what she was saying and not how good she looked in the bikini.
"What does that tattoo mean?" she asked pressing her finger onto my right forearm.
"Can we not talk about it?" I asked not wanting to talk about her.
Sorry, for asking." she said looking away. I could feel the tension in the air. I splashed water onto Gabrielle to lighten the mood a bit.
"What the hell!" she yelled with a smile on her face. We continued our splash war for another 20 minutes. Gabrielle "accidentally" tripped me making me go underwater
"Sorry." she said between her fit of giggles. I pulled her to the point where our chest was touching. And with my breathing uneven and my lips quivering. I kissed her and it was everything I thought it would be. She snatched away from me. "That wasn't supposed to happen." she said backing away from me
"I didn't mean to." I said trying to follow Gabrielle out of the pool. "Oh god what did I just do." I whispered to myself. That's my brother's future wife. I could only hope she wouldn't tell Theo about our kiss. I don't know what I'd do if he found out.
-Gabrielle P.O.V.-
I quickly made my way back to the room stripping out of my bathing suit. A light knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. "Hold on a sec." I said pulling on one of my oversized t-shirts and opened the door. It was Theo. "Get showered and ready for bed. You need to get as much rest as possible." Theo advised.
"Okay." I said shutting the door and walking back over to my suitcase. I grabbed some undergarments and a big t-shirt and walked inside the bathroom. Once I walked into the bathroom I was amazed with the design of the bathroom. And the fact that it looks as if no one has ever touched it. I turned on the shower cursing myself for forgetting to pack soap.
I ran out of the bathroom and walked to a random door. Luckily Lucas answered. He stepped out the room I realized was a bathroom. "Do you have any soap I can have?" I asked trying to pretend the tension wasn't there. He walked inside the bathroom and came out with a bottle. "Thank you." I said. "No problem." he said going back into the bathroom.
I went back to my designated room and went to the shower. Once I was stripped out of my clothes I jumped into the hot water that seemed to be a perfect temperature. I couldn't help but notice how good the body wash smelled.
Once I was clean I got out the shower and put on my clothes for the night.
I hopped onto the bed and got onto my phone. I scrolled through Tumblr until I fell asleep.
