Chapter 7

🌹Iris' Pov

"Luca?" I blurt out in shock, my jaw ajar.

"Ciao, amore." He blinks at me, placing little Mel on the floor and standing at his full height of 6 ft. "I called your office and your receptionist told me where I could find you, which is here."

"Oh." I mumble, before clearing my throat and sharing a look with Grace who just stands behind me gaping at the man I've spoken crap about to her and had only ever shown her pictures of.

Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise.

Not.

"Hey guys, let's go make some burgers." Grace claps her hands, coming to my rescue, she gathers the attention of the kids and they nod their heads.

James eyes Luca heatedly before walking into the kitchen without another word, the others follow Grace into the kitchen with huge smiles on their faces, it was only when they were gone that I notice the bouquet of red roses on the table.

"Now what do you want?" I hiss quietly as he straightens his tie, an action that shouldn't be attractive but is.

"Happy anniversary." He says blankly, picking the bouquet up and strolling towards me.

How romantic if only...

"Luca, on what planet do you think it's our anniversary." I give him an unimpressed looks, crossing my arms. "We got married 4 months ago."

"Well then happy birthday." He retorts impatiently, practically shoving the roses at me.

I narrow my eyes and scoff, pursing my lips in disdain at the roses I'm given. "It's not my birthday, wise guy."

"Cazzate, just accept the flowers and smile." He glares, running his tongue over his lower lip.

Man that was sexy.

I subconsciously bite my lip and watch as Luca smirks, great, I just had to stroke his fucking ego. Good going Iris.

"Amore, forgive me if I'm wrong but I think you want me to kiss you." He murmurs, raising his perfect eyebrow. He had this infuriatingly pleased look on his face that I wanted slap away.

Quick, change the subject. "Did you know that Green Arrow makes the hottest chilli and Batman is the only one who's able to eat it and not cry like a bitch?" I blurt out randomly.

Curse my knowledge of superhero random facts. Where the hell did that come from?

Luca scrunches his eyebrows together and laughs that sexy laugh of his, a curl of his silky black hair falling into his face. "Cute." He comments.

Cute? Did he call me cute?

"Grace, I'm leaving now." I yell looking away from Luca, hoping he won't see how flustered I am but he probably has.
