BELLA The door was pushed back forcefully and it cut me off from my private moment of tears and self loathing. There he was standing in front of my bed like my knight in shining armour. I heard he was the reason I was home. And even though refusing to accept his love profession wasn't really a good way of showing gratitude, he still made my heart beat. "What is rule number one?" His voice was clipped and he looked furious. Do not cry alone. "I don't remember." He didn't believe my lie but he reminded me, "Do not cry alone. If you're going to cry about this, I'm going to stay, if you don't I'll leave." "What's it to you?" I screamed and threw a tantrum. "When you were gone, I had time to think. About why you never wanted to be the source of attention or have photos or videos of you posted anywhere. It was why you made that deal with me, and I did do my part and you committed to being my pet. Did you forget about that?" You've got to be kidding me. "You're not invoking the
What are you thinking about?" I jumped back in shock and dropped the grape I was eating and it plopped on the floor. "What did he want?" Luka asked again and I rolled my eyes and bent to retrieve the grape fruit and dispose of it properly. This was all his fault. "Why do you care?" "Because it made you sad." "All of a sudden you care? You did not care when it was you making me sad." He flinched back like my words cut him and it just made everything even much worse. "That's why I want to prove to you that I'm in love with you." My heart skipped a funny beat but I ignored it. I can't get used to the funny feeling I get everytime he says that. The shirt he had on was unbuttoned at the neck. The white shirt contrasted well on his fair skin and I could see a peak of my necklace on his neck. On anybody else it would look tacky but not Luka."Did you arrange this welcome party?" I ran cold water from the tap to rinse my hand and it gave me something to stare at for a while instead of
BELLAHow do you know your bad boy is in love with you? He'll say random sweet things that have you blushing like a fool and falling even deeper in love with him.I put my hand into his outstretched own almost tentatively and lowered my eyes to stare at my feet. His gaze, the way he was staring at me was making me hot all over. My hands felt swallowed up in his bigger ones and I love the rough feel of mine in his. My hands were rougher, because of Basketball and all the numerous injuries. It surely wasn't the most lady-like pair; all soft and demure but I liked the feeling of mine in his. He opened the side door and I raised my eyebrows in question, "really?" He chuckled, "Yes I'm planning to be the perfect gentleman tonight." "Chivalry doesn't suit you LuLu." The name slipped out with a soft chuckle before I could remind myself of the numerous reasons why we weren't friends. He entered the red Porsche and gave me a wink, "I'll take you calling me Daddy over Lulu, you know that r
"Luka!" I tried to scream but his name came out as a muffled yell because of the food in my mouth. I swallowed quickly and took a large sip of water and looked around to be sure nobody heard him, "you're not supposed to say things like that in public." He just shrugged and placed the rim of his glass to lips while staring at me from over the top. I cleared my throat and rubbed my legs together. I have to relieve the sexual tension that was going on right now, "what did you order? I mean I know that's pasta but yours look different from mine." "I don't eat shrimp, so I ordered Ragu Bolognese." His accent was thick as he pronounced the Bolognese and it just made me look in wonder. I know I gush a lot about Luka and his beauty but damn, the way the coloured light enhances his features and the peak of skin of his chest that was open just made my belly tighten in need. "What?" He asked with a small smile. "Nothing, can I try your bolognese?" I asked with a small pout. His plate just
"How was your date?" My mom was cuddled under a crochet blanket that came with the couch, she had a wine glass in her hand and one of her sappy shows about love and friendship was playing. Her head was hanging over the back of the couch so that she was staring at me instead of the show. I shrugged and shuffled on my feet waiting to be dismissed. She dropped the wine glass and motioned for me to come over. "I just want to go to bed right now, can't I do that?" I snapped before running up the stairs two at a time.I have a game plan for when Luka acts mean and bosses me around, but since I got back, he has been genuinely kind to me and he took his time to make sure that we could eat good food, in a place we were both comfortable with and still not miss the playoff game for the night. I flung my purse to the bed and dropped on the bed like a huge sack of potatoes with a loud sigh. My mom entered almost immediately after me. She sat beside me and stroked my hair without saying anythi
"I don't know why I'm telling you this, but I didn't always live with Luka and Leonardo. We have different mums you see." she gave a wide smile that didn't even come close to hiding the pain in her eyes and I adjusted in my seat. I didn't know that. I've heard someone refer to Paula as Luka's cousin but I've always just known they were siblings. "But he treats me well. He is like the best big brother in the whole world even though he is older than me by barely a year. Most of the time he got beaten was also because of me. Luka is like that you know, always wanting to take care of those he loved." I nodded and smiled in agreement. "When Luka was 7 and I just moved in, he caught his mom cheating on our dad and she had begged him not tell on her. It messed with him, but he kept it in, because our dad was obsessed with Luka's mom. He didn't even cheat with my mom voluntarily, according to the story, he was drunk that night on a buisness trip away from home and my mom took advantage of
Luka opened the door wide enough for me to step in and I did trailing after him gently into the strangely brightly lit room. All the times that I've been here it was usually more darker and a little messier.The blinds were drawn flooding the room with light, and on the bed they were littered and crumpled paper on the bed and a canvas by the side of the window.I reached to pick one of the crumpled papers but he reached for it first and snatched it from my hand. He gathered the rest of them with so much urgency that it couldn't help but pique my interest."What are you hiding, Lulu?" The words left my mouth in a soft whisper as I took steps towards him trying to be as intimidating as possible but knowing that what I was really going for was the canvas that sat beside the window which I couldn't see from here. But I could barely fool him. He raced down the room and snapped the sating cover on to cover the painting shielding it away from me.One of the papers in his hand fell down and h
My body feels boneless as I gaze unto his brown, shiny eyes. We're both lying on our back, bodies wet with sweat and slowly coming back to normal. Luka leans forward to stroke my cheek gently with his fingers and placed a chaste kiss on my lips. "I love you," he murmurs. I try to keep my eyes open but I suddenly feel so sleepy so I mumbled, "I love you too."He pulled me closer so that my head was laying in his chest and I could hear the slight worked up beat of his heart. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to take it slow for your first time. I.. I really tried to control myself but when I was inside you, it just felt so good and I kind of lost it. " He whispers and I smile gently."It was perfect." I know that I don't have anything to compare it with, but it felt so good and amazing for me. Now I'm his and he he is mine, it's all ive ever wanted coming to life. I let out a content smile as my eyes began to droop and he pulled me in closer. I woke up alone, sprawled out on his big bed and
