Forever more

Chapter 16

*Sophia's POV*

"You can't tell me what to do Lucca" I said in a stern voice.

He grabbed the cutlery from the top shelf and turned around to glare at me.

"You're not going with that guy Sophia and that's final" He walked past me and I groaned following him out.

"He's just a friend Lucca, you have a child with another woman. I don't ask you about your whereabouts— so why can't I just go out with Ryan" He quickly put down the cutlery and walked over to me possessively grabbing my arms. His grip was firm but not firm enough to actually hurt me.

"Listen to me and listen carefully. You are not going with that guy, if you do— I'll fucking make sure he knows who he's dealing with. Now I'm sure you wouldn't want your 'friend' to get hurt. This is a warning baby, better keep that in mind" he growled at me.

"Fuck you! I'll do whatever I want, go fuck someone else over and see if I give a shit" I spat at him

"I won't be fucking anyone else but you baby. Sophia you need to trust me, I promise— you'll know the truth as soon as I find out what it is" he sounded frustrated

"You have already broken my trust, what makes you think I'll ever trust you again?" I glared at him

"I-" he got cut off by my dad

"Food is ready! Have you guys set everything up yet?" Papa yelled from the window

"Yes Papa! we're just finishing up actually..." I ripped myself out of Lucca's grip and walked away setting up the glasses and napkins. Lucca set out the plates, along with the forks and steak knives.

Lucca still had a frown on his face. Soon my parents came out with the food and we all sat down to eat.

The table was round so we all had a perfect view of each other's faces, Lucca kept on glancing my way as we all ate in silence. My mom probably sensed the tension and dropped her fork abruptly down on her plate causing us all to look in her direction.

"Okay, what is wrong with the two of you? Lucca you look like you want to jump over this table to confront Sophia about something and Sophia— you look irritated with something or someone " my mom glared at the both of us while papa looked dumbfounded.

"Nothing is wrong mama. We just had a small argument about...house stuff"

Really Sophia?? House stuff? Oh my god that was such a lame excuse

"Stronzate (bullshit) Lucca what's bothering you?" she looked at Lucca now

Lucca just glanced up at me then back at my mom.

"Nothing is wrong ma, just some house stuff" he clenched his jaw and went back to eating.

"You both are lying. I will get to the bottom of this" she declared and went back to eating but still glared at us while doing so. I looked at papa and he was now looking between me and Lucca with narrowed eyes.

"Lucca what did you do?" He asked Lucca so suddenly and Lucca choked on a piece of his meat. My dad patted his back while Lucca drank some water to calm himself down.

"Are you okay?" I asked concerned, Lucca looked at me and smiled softly before nodding saying he was okay.

"Now, Lucca— I'll ask again. What did you do?" My dad asked Lucca with a glare.

"Papa, he didn't do anything leave him-" Dad lifted up his hand to silence me as he spoke.

"No Sophia, he did something. Lucca spit it out" Lucca looked nervous before scratching the back of his neck.

"I uh— Sophia has trust issues with me" he mumbled loud enough for us to hear while looking down at his plate.

"Trust issues? Did you cheat on her?" My dad glared at Lucca and Lucca looked shocked with wide eyes at my dad's bluntness.

"No no! I didn't. Look I can't tell you guys anything right now, just some work stuff and misunderstandings. Once I get the information I need, I'll tell you guys everything. I promise" Now this got my attention, hesitantly we all nodded at him but my dad continued to eye him suspiciously. We all resumed to eating in silence, once we were done we got up and thanked mom and dad for the food.

I helped my mom clean up while Lucca went with my dad somewhere. I'm guessing somewhere private since neither my mom or myself knew about their whereabouts.

My mom and I have been talking for quite some time in the living room, just laughing and spending some mother-daughter time. Suddenly we heard my dad and Lucca walk in laughing. Lucca had a smile on his face and my dad just smirked. What's up with them? Wasn't dad interrogating Lucca just a few moments ago?

"You ready to get going, my love? I actually have to get up early for work tomorrow" He said sadly shoving his hands in his jeans pockets.

"Oh, Okay then" I said unsure with a frown on my face, why the sudden change of mood? Something was up.
I got up and hugged my mom first.

"I really enjoyed spending some time with you today ma" I smiled as she rubbed my back gently .

"So did I Il mio bellissimo angelo (my beautiful angel)" She let go and smiled at me.

I then went over to hug my dad and he chuckled saying I must come visit more.

"I will papa, don't you worry" I smiled at him

"So che sarà la mia principessa (I know you will my princess)" He kissed my forehead and pulled away.

Lucca greeted my parents too and then we said our goodbyes to them.

The whole car ride was silent on our way home but what had my heart racing was the fact that Lucca kept his hand on my thigh the entire way home. I mean it didn't bother me since he did it almost all of the time we went out, but I guess it still gets me nervous.

I am completely and utterly whipped for this man.

Soon we arrived at home and as per usual, Lucca came around to open my door as I mumbled a thank you.

Once we got inside I went straight up to our room and Lucca followed me shutting the door behind him. I looked at him with a frown while he just smirked at me.

"Lucca what are you doing? Why did you close the door?" I asked curiously and slightly nervous

"What? You don't want to get changed with the door open now do you?" he cocked his head to the side and smirked.

Asshole

"Whatever, I'm not in the mood to deal with you tonight. I just want to go sleep" I said exasperated and I heard him sigh.

I got undressed and changed into my silky night gown while Lucca got changed into his boxers. I secretly blushed at the sight of him and turned around so that my back was facing him.

As I got in on my side I started laying the pillow barrier in the middle but Lucca threw them back off.

"what are you doing Lucca?" I asked glaring at him

"I don't want to sleep with pillows blocking my side from yours, I don't sleep well if you're not in my arms" He mumbled softly. I sighed and mumbled a 'fine'

He smiled so wide and grabbed me pulling me into him as he nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck. I chuckled at his cuteness.

"Goodnight baby" He whispered and I suddenly felt my heart skip a beat.

"Goodnight Lucca" I smiled softly at him, I wanted to ask him what my dad and him talked about earlier on. I'll ask him tomorrow instead.
