Hers To Love (complete) Cover By @army_ss841

Chapter 83 (Ari's going home outfit)

Ari got her hair dried and brushed it out very happy with how healthy and shiny it looked.  She did a light natural makeup that paired well with the dress Luca bought for her and she put on her underthings and deodorant and finally was ready to put the dress on.  She checked her phone.  It was 10:17.  Hopefully Luca would be here soon.  She missed him so much, his touch, his smell and most of all his smile.  She could just get lost in him.  She sighed.  She had it bad for him and that was okay.  She was very thankful that she didn't hurt as much when she put the dress on.  It fit just right.  She loved the creamy white sweater that went over it and the boots were to die for.  She squirted on a little bit of perfume, gathered her things and left the bathroom.  Picking her bag up she put all of her things into it and zipped it up and put it on the floor near the door.  She sat down in the soft recliner type chair and got on her phone to surf the net.  She googled Santini's curious to see what was being said.  The first thing she saw was an article stating it was a robbery gone bad and the alleged gunman had been shot to death.  She shuttered.  Another article she pulled up showed a picture of Luca coming out of the ambulance and his front covered in blood, her blood, and the look of absolute terror on his face.  Her vision blurred and her eyes welled up.  This was not a good idea she thought and clicked out of the awful Google app.  She grabbed a tissue and dabbed her eyes.  The last thing she wanted  was for Luca to see that she'd been crying.  She gently got out of the chair and brought her bag to the chair and sat back down.  She was hoping to find some earbuds in her bag.  Yes!  Someone had thrown them in there.  She searched for some albums on her phone and settled on Cold Play, plugged the buds into her ears and leaned her head back and tried to wash away what she'd seen on the internet.

Luca stood there in the doorway drinking her in.  She looked amazing, serene.  She wasn't aware that he was there yet so he just looked at her from her feet to her head.  The boots were very sexy, very Ari.  He loved the way the dress looked on her and the sweater was lose around her waist but very fitted and accentuated her breasts making them look full and round.  His emotions were stirring in him.  He couldn't wait to have her in bed again.  Her hair was straight, long and shiny and hanging down on both shoulders.  She'd done a light make up and the sheer gloss on her lips just added to the natural tone of her plump pink lips, lips that he'd longed to kiss, that he'd longed to feel wrapped around him.  She didn't look like a patient she looked like she was visiting someone.  God she was strong.  He was broken from his thoughts by Lettie.  "You are very blessed young man.  She's a beautiful lady, inside and out."  He looked at the woman and softly said "I completely agree with you.  I'm Luca" he said holding out his hand.  "Lettie" she said firmly gripping his hand and pumping it a couple of times.  Lettie explained that the doctor was visiting one more patient and then he would be in here with discharge papers.  "Thank you" Luca said.  "Take care of each other" Lettie responded.  He nodded and turned back to Ari.  He walked over, leaned in and laid a gentle kiss on her forehead.  She didn't open her eyes but smiled softly at the gesture, pulling out the earbuds she slowly opened her eyes and looked at Luca's beautiful face.  "Hey" she said.  "Hey back" he responded and then put his hand up to her face causing her to close her eyes at his touch and lowered his lips to hers.  It quickly turned into a very sensual kiss that left them both panting when they finally pulled away from each other.  "You have no idea how much I have missed you" Luca breathed against her lips as she pressed her hand into the one holding her face.  He helped her up so they could sit on the small sofa in the room and Luca filled her in on what he'd done, on their behalf, for the staff.  She thanked him for putting it together and they talked about Christmas, etc just passing the time waiting on the doctor.

Her doctor showed up about 15 minutes later, filled Luca in on the removal of her staples/stitches, about the need for bed rest, not all the time but if I felt tired to go lay down, what to do if I spiked a fever for some reason and some other things we needed to know.  He handed me a bottle of pills.  "Vicodin, 500mg, to be taken only if you are in pain and Advil or Aleve won't do the trick.  I hate that I met you under these circumstances but I'm glad to know you nonetheless Arienne.  Please take care of yourself.  Your free to go!" he said signing the paper with a flourish and handing them to me.  Lettie came in a few minutes later with a wheelchair.  Luca helped me up and I went to Lettie and threw my arms around her.  We held each other for a moment and she asked me not to forget about her.  I told her not a chance and we both wiped our eyes laughing at how emotional we were.  Luca helped me with my coat and grabbed my bag and I sat down in the wheelchair while Lettie wheeled me out.

We got out by the nurse's station when an older man approached Luca and he told me he would be right back so we waited at the station.  I saw about six people bringing in boxes and figured it was the catered lunch that Luca had arranged for the staff.  Luca came back in no time.  "That was Enrico.  He is the one I called to help us with the thank you for the staff.  They are setting it up in the doctor's lounge and will be making the announcement for the staff to come and help themselves."  I grinned at Luca and thanked him for setting this up.  He grabbed my hand and brought my palm up to his mouth and kissed it sending shivers down my body.  I couldn't wait to get home with him!
