Forever more

Chapter 15

*Sophia's POV*

Today I'm going to go visit my parents and just spend the day with them. Well I as in myself was going to go alone until someone decided that they wanted to come with.

Lucca is so stubborn

Obviously he had convinced me in letting him come with by saying that it will bring up questions if he is not with me. Well he is right and it's all his damn fault— whenever I went to see my parents he would come along, so they used to us visiting together.

Okay but that is so sweet so you're bitching for nothing, you know you love it

I was getting ready when I heard Lucca talking on the phone to someone down the hall. I could hear him very faintly.

"She what?! Okay and who's that? Right. Okay I'll deal with it when I get in tomorrow. Don't bother me today, I'm spending time with Sophia and her parents"
He said in a harsh whisper

What's he hiding?

I didn't want him to know I was listening, so I went back to putting on my shoes.

Lucca came in dressed in casual clothing. He had on a white T-shirt and some dark navy blue jeans with.
Oh my god, suddenly I realised we were matching, shoes included. He had on a pair of black and white LV sneakers— just my white T-shirt was a crop top.

I glared at him

"What do you think you're doing? I'm wearing this outfit— go and change" but in return he just frowned and looked down at himself then back up at me.

"Why can't I match with you? I'm not changing Sophia, we're matching" I sighed and shook my head at him but secretly I was beaming on the inside.

"Fine, let's go" I walked out and Lucca followed behind me. I heard the squeak of sneakers behind me and when I turned around I saw Lucca fist bump the air mumbling something to himself.

"Really?" I asked cocking my head to the side, trying my best not to smirk at his childishness.

"What? Can't a man just be happy?" he smiled and took my hand in his.

I just smiled softly at him and let him lead the way, not bothering to object about him holding my hand. I love this man.

We got in Lucca's car and drove off to my parents' house. Once we arrived I was about to open my door when Lucca suddenly locked all the doors. I looked over at him and he lifted his eyebrow up at me.

I just frowned until he got out of the car and came around to my side.

Ohhh

He opened my door and held out his hand for me to take. I mumbled a small 'thank you' to which he smiled and kissed my cheek.

Such a sweetheart.

He just chuckled at my flushed face as we walked up to the front door, I rang the doorbell and we waited for someone to answer.

Soon enough the door opened up and revealed my smiling dad.

"Papa!" I went in and gave him a hug.

"Ohhhh principessa (princess)!" he smiled and hugged me back tightly.

Once he let go, he turned to Lucca and smiled at him too. He opened up his arms and said: "Hey, what are you a stranger? Come give me a hug Il mio ragazzo (my boy)" they both laughed and patted each other's backs.

"È bello rivederti papa (it's good to see you again dad)" Lucca smiled and pulled back.

"You too my boy. Well let's go see what mama dearest is doing in the kitchen" He laughed and we all walked into the kitchen after he shut the front door behind us.

"Honey! Look who's here!" papa announced

Mom was busy in kitchen cutting some vegetables but when she looked up she immediately dropped her knife and came around to hug us.

"Oh mio Dio, abbracci abbracci abbracci, mi siete mancati così tanto (Oh my God! Hugs hugs hugs! I missed you guys so much)" she pulled both me and Lucca in for a hug.

"Ohhh Sophia I'm making your favourite, Garlic butter steak with cheesy veggies"

"Oh mama, you're the best" I hugged her squealing in excitement. Everyone just laughed and shook their heads at my childish antics.

"I know I know, Frederico, come help me with the steak. Lucca and Sophia go set up the outside table in the garden, we'll eat out there today. The weather is great. Lucca, you know where the cutlery is and Sophia go get the seat cushions" She shooed us away and grabbed papa's hand leading him in the kitchen.

I walked out to garden with Lucca and he was taking the tarp off the table while I placed the soft cushions onto the chairs.

Should I tell Lucca that I'm going out with Ryan this Saturday? I should, just in case he gets worried. Actually, he will be upset about it. Maybe I'll tell him tomorrow. He's never been very fond of any male friends.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lucca snapped me out of my thoughts

"Uhh, nothing. Why do you ask?" I asked trying to sound convincing but obviously that didn't work judging by the look on Lucca's face.

He narrowed his eyes at me and crossed his arms over his chest.

"You're lying, tell me what's on your mind. You have that look on your face that tells me you were thinking about something"

Shit, why did he have to know me so damn well

"This Saturday— I'm..." I trailed off, should I tell him now?

"What about this Saturday?" he asked curiously

"I'm— I'm going out with a friend" I said looking down for a second but then looked back up at him and I wish I hadn't. He was narrowing his eyes at me.

"Friend? A guy?" he glared at me now

"Yeah but-"

"You're not going" He cut me off in a stern tone

"Excuse me?" I asked getting slightly pissed off. He can't tell me what to do.

"You heard me, you're not going anywhere" He said in a hard tone and walked inside to go get the cutlery.

This asshole

I went in to follow him and argue with him again. I'm not going to cancel my plans with Ryan— that's for sure.
