Luca

The Kiss

Elle looked at the charming dinner and started to get out of her car, but Luca stopped her by holding her hand.

“when you are with me, don’t go out of the car before I get you.”

“wh.. what?” But Luca had already got out of the car. He walked to her side and opened the door, like a gentleman.

Luca put his hand on her small back and pushed her gently toward the dinner.

The moment the door was opened, Elle felt the warmth of the dinner. It was really heartwarming. Then..

“ELLE honeybunch… YOU MADE IT… I got so worried, I almost called the police to find you. I imagine you were stranded out of no where.” Aunt Beth said while hugging her.

“Aunt Beth, I missed you. And you shouldn’t run your imagination. I can take care of myself.”

“ Indeed, but you cannot look at maps without getting lost, so I know you.”

“AUNT BETH”Elle gasped, outraged.

“May I get my hug?” Uncle George smiled softly to her.

“Uncle George…” Elle went into Uncle George's bear hug.

But just as soon as Uncle George hugged her, a warm hand slipped into her waist and pulled her back.

“wh… what are you doing?” Elle was shocked.

Luca kept his hand on Elle's waist and he greeted. “George, Beth, it’s nice to see you.”

Uncle George looked at him with an amused smile while Aunt Beth asked “Luca, I didn’t know you and my honeybunch know each other. “

“We met at Trudy’s and then we got together.” Luca said it, leaving the rest to their imagination.

“ What… What he means by together is he and his brothers accompanying me for the rest of the drive to Misty Lane.” Elle sputtered while looking at Luca grudgingly.

Luca just smirked.

“ Well, thank you, Luca, now, do you two want some coffee?” Aunt Beth offered.

“I think I just want to take a rest for a while, Aunt Beth” Elle answered.

Aunt Beth looked at her with understanding. “Okay honeybunch, go ahead, you know where your room is.”

“Thank you aunt, I’ll just take my things first.”

“I’ll help you, sweetness,” Uncle George offered.

“No need, I’ll take care of her.” Luca said.

Elle did not have any energy to argue, she just walked out to her car while being followed by Luca.

Before she got a chance to take her luggage, Luca had already do that.

“Just show me the way, Cara, I’ll handle this”

Elle sighed and walked to Aunt Beth and Uncle George's home behind the dinner.

She opened the front door and walked straight through the hallway, to the last door.

She opened it and entered the bedroom. It was a room with a queen sized bed, a side table and a medium-sized closet. It was painted with a soft grey color. And it was attached to a small bathroom.

“ Here it is, thank you for helping with my stuff” Elle said.

Luca stared at her.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I just enjoy the view.”

Elle blushed. “You are a flirt.”

Luca just smirked and walked closer to Elle.

“I’m not. I just know when I want something, I will get it.” And he kissed her hard.

Elle was shocked and at first, she resisted. But Luca, knowing her resistance, softened his kiss, coaxing and seducing her with his mouth. Elle, engulfed by Luca’s warmth, started to respond and kissed him back.

Luca knew, he had to hold himself, he couldn't go any further yet with this stubborn yet fragile beauty. He needed to take his time. He broke their kisses and kissed her cheek, then whispered: “I had imagined you are so sweet but you are so much sweeter. I cant wait to find all those sweets. Until later, sleep well, mia piccolo.”

And Luca left. Elle just looked at the closed door with a tingling sensation on her lips.
