The day I decided to change my life

Chapter 21: Feather

Luca's apartment was crowded. I had never seen it like that. They were having a Christmas party. There was the whole soccer team from when they were in college, lots of girls too. I was talking with a girl called Sarah before, who said she was a friend of Martina. They used to live together. She was nice. At least what I discovered by the little I talked to her, since she saw her boyfriend drinking directly from a bottle and went to fix it.

Then I met another friend of Martina. Nathan. I swear he was hilarious. He was telling me about a time he told a guy that the thing he had between his legs wouldn't satisfy his needs and he literally left. I listened to it horrified since I would never have the guts to say something like that, however, the way he told the story made you wanna laugh. It was impossible not to.

He then offered me some brownies that he made, and since I was already a little drunk, that meant I was hungry too. Even if I had dinner not too long ago. They seemed a little suspicious, but I didn't care at that moment.

I was about to take a bite when a hand appeared on the scene, taking the brownie from my hand, making me bite the air.

"Nope. She's allergic to peanuts." Luca said giving a big bite to it instead. I frowned as I stared at him.

He closed my mouth with two of his fingers as he smiled with his mouth full, placing a light kiss on my cheek before walking away.

"Oh my god, that was so cute." Nathan exclaimed.

"Mhm?"

"Are you guys together? I heard Martina say something about Luca and a girl, but I didn't know it was you." He said with a smirk as he nudged me on the ribs.

"No, no. We're just friends." I shook my head.

"But you fuck." He gave me a knowing look.

I blushed like crazy, my face getting hotter. Did I have it written all over my forehead? Was it that obvious?

Nathan laughed hard and squeezed my arm. "Girl, the sexual tension was palpable."

"I- I need to go freshen up."

Nathan was laughing as I made my way to the bathroom, hoping it wasn't too crowded.

It was, at least the one outside the bedrooms. I glanced at Luca's door at the end of the hallway, even if I knew it wasn't allowed to go inside.

I opened the door slowly, taking a glimpse inside in case someone was there.

Nobody.

I went to the bathroom, did my thing and then wet my face, trying not to ruin my make up. I got out, feeling a little less hot than before. The room was pitch dark so when a little light came as someone opened the door, I held my breath.

Shit.

Luca switched on the lights, looking at me with a little frown between his eyebrows. "What are you doing here?"

"I-I needed to use the bathroom."

He walked calmly towards me, what only meant he was drunk too. "Who gave you permission?" He asked, brushing his fingers along my face, pushing a few hairs of my forehead back.

"Josh?" I tried, shrugging.

Luca chuckled and shook his head. "Nice try." His hand lowered, stroking my arm as it went down to the low of my back, pressing my body to his. He gazed down at my chest and bit his lips.

I was wearing a red long sleeve top, with a little cleavage that showed off my generous chest.

"That lipstick looks good on you." He said running his thumb along my lower lip, covered in a red lipstick. I never wore anything like that but I set my mind on something. I would try something new everyday, even if it was insignificant. Today was the red lipstick, yesterday was a new flavor of ice cream.
