Chapter 6

That evening, when Chris, Street and Luca walk in, I have dinner ready and I'm plating the food. Sitting down at the island together, Luca leans over and kisses me and says "Thank babe." We start eating and I ask "So, how was your day?" They all start laughing and Chris says "Well, your man here, got hit on." I look at her confused and then at him and he's shaking his head. "Proposed to, actually." Street says and I look at him. "We were looking for a guy and having to canvas the houses in this one neighborhood. I walk up to this one door, and there's a woman that answers that has to be at least in her 80's." he explains. Then Chris cuts in. "She looks him up and down and says "Holy hell I found my soulmate." I start laughing until Street speaks up. "Your boy here told her that he couldn't be because he already found his." I stop laughing and look at him shocked. He kisses me softly and says "And I meant it."

We finish eating and Chris asks "You guys wanna watch a movie with us?" Before I can answer, Luca says "Next time. I need some time with my girl." He takes my hand and leads me out to the swing on the back deck. Sitting in the swing, I sit next to him and he pulls me close. Tilting my head up, he kisses me softly and we just look at each other. After a little bit, he finally speaks. "I meant what I said in there." I smile softly and say "I feel that way too. I never thought I would." He kisses me again and we spend the rest of the night talking before heading to bed.

Getting up the next morning, we are all eating breakfast when there was a knock at the door. Chris answers the door and I hear her say "You have a lot of nerve showing up here again. What do you want?" she asks him. "I want to talk to Kiera." he tells her. "Not happening." she tells him. I walk to the door and say "It's okay Chris. I'll talk to him." She looks at me and I feel Luca's hand on my hip. "Not without me." he says. I nod. We step outside and I ask "What do you want?" He asks "Who's this?" I hear Luca behind me say "Her boyfriend." Jordan looks at me and says "Is he serious?" I look him dead in the eye and say "Yeah he is. Now what do you want?" I ask again. "I want you back." he tells me. "Ain't happening." Luca says. "She can speak for herself." Jordan says. "I don't want to be with you. I'm happy with Luca. He treats me better than you ever did." I tell him. "Yeah. Until he gets tired of you and moves on." he tells me. "Like you did? Not likely. He's with me. Only me. Now, you need to leave and don't show back up again." I tell him. "What are you going to do? Call the cops?" he asks laughing. "I am the cops shithead." Luca says and Chris and Street step out too. "So are we. Now you heard my sister. Leave." Chris says and Jordan can't get out of here fast enough.

I push my way inside and head to my room and close the door. I feel a panic attack coming on. The door opens and Luca walks in. "Baby. Hey. Look at me." he says softly. I look at him and he sees the panic in my eyes. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm yours. Don't listen to him. Take a breath baby. Just take a breath." he says and I start to calm down. He pulls me close and holds me. "I got you baby." he says. "Thank you Dom." I say. I look up at him once I calm down and say "I need you." The door is closed so he lays me on the bed and we start to undress and make love again. He understands that I need that connection. I need to feel that he wants me. Once we reach our release, he holds me and says "I will always be here." I look up at him and say "I know you will." I kiss him softly and can't help but feel like I am falling head over heels in love. I know he cares but I don't think his is as deep as mine. Never will be. But, I just want to enjoy this before he changes his mind. Jordan is right. I can't keep anyone long. They all leave. They all cheat. I lay my head back on his chest and hold him as close as possible.
