Love Does Cost A Thing

Book one: Chapter twenty two

Luigi's POV

"Love is an emotion you can't easily explain.When you're riding the high of love, your smile always meets your ears and you have that warm, tingly feeling in the pit of your stomach. That's what love is to me." Idalia smiled, staring longingly into space. Has her explanation gotten her emotional already? Girls!

"Idalia, my friend is a male not a female to be experiencing these feelings in the pit of his stomach. So tell me how do you know if you're in love, I'm sending a recording to him." I intentionally tapped on voice memos, showing her I'm serious. Since I can't dm Cupid to answer my questions, I came to my baby sister. The Cupid in my family who knows so much about about love and her knowledge on it surprises me.

"Tell your friend to come for a private section. I can't bring myself to telling you about love when you don't believe it." She rolled her eyes and texted on her phone.

"He's busy uh in Dubai, yeah finalizing an oil deal. He wants to know because he has met  this Arabian girl he's smitten with. Are you going to tell me or not?"

"Fine, I'll tell you just don't huff to piss me off."

"Okay Cupid." I pinched her cheeks, causing her to giggle childishly.

"You know you're in love when you think so much about the person, you can't get them off your mind, you stress yourself about them making them a priority. She becomes your daily motivation to get up from bed so you get to see her. You become jealous at the least attention she gets from someone else and your sex drive gets higher according to what I've read." She concluded and shrugged her shoulders.

"Can you fall in love with someone because they resemble your crush?"

She looked at me weirdly, "why are you asking? Isn't this session for your friend?"

"Why are you being difficult Cupid? He told me to ask." I'm I not lying too much in my quest to know if I'm in love like Giuseppe said?

"Yeah you can do that and in some cases the replica of your crush is actually your true love." So does that mean Deandra is my true love? Because Zuri is just a distant memory? Don't get this nonsense in your head.

"Can you fall in love with someone below your class?"

"Love has no boundary or class."

"How do you get someone to fall in love with you?"

"Get into their head and make them happy."

"How?"

"Be their sunshine, spoil them with gifts of things they love, cuddle with them and appreciate them in any little way. I'm done mister, tell your friend he owes me 2500 dollars when he's back."

"Okay Cupid, I think my friend will be good with these, thank you hun."

"Whatever, what about that trip you promised me?"

"Oh." I've totally forgotten about that since my mind all these times have been about no one but Deandra. "Text me tomorrow and remind me, I'll leave now. I love you sis."

"Love you more bro, less flings okay?" She chuckled, leaving the room and slamming the door. Spoilt brat.

So now, I've heard from Cupid. I think about her all the time, always want to see her face, but I've done nothing to make her happy and she's also gotten me stressed because she's always on my mind and about the sex drive thing, let's leave it out for now.
