Chapter 23
The next morning the two wake up late. “I am late for work,” Reese says.
Luca laughs at her as she hustles to try to find clothes and put them on. “Where are my damn clothes,” Reese grumbles.
“I doubt you will be fired. I know your boss,” Luca says.
Reese throws her panties at him. “Not funny. I have a lot to do today,” Reese says.
“Calm down. Just get dressed and I will drive you to work,” Luca says.
“I don’t know where my clothes are, Luca,” Reese says.
“Okay, calm down. Get a shower and I will go get something for you,” Luca says.
Luca takes the key to Reese’s apartment and leaves to go get her some clothes while she showers. “How in the hell did I lose my clothes?” she grumbles as she gets into the shower.
Luca takes the car to Reese’s apartment. He goes in and goes straight to her bedroom. He goes into her closet and grabs a pantsuit. He reaches into a drawer and grabs her bra and panties. He goes back to her closet and grabs a pair of shoes just in case she can’t find her shoes. Luca grabs a bag and puts everything neatly into a bag.
As Luca gets to the door there is a knock. He opens the door to see Thomas. “Oh Hey, Luca. Is Reese here?” Thomas asks.
“No she is not,” Luca says. He walks past Thomas and slams the door.
“Hey, will you tell her I came by?” Thomas says.
Luca stops. “No, I won’t. Leave her alone,” Luca says.
“If she wants me to leave her alone then she needs to tell me to leave her alone,” Thomas says.
Furious Luca walks back to his car. He puts the bag in the car. He tries to calm himself as he drives back. He can’t let Reese know he is furious. “I have to calmly tell her that Thomas came by,” he says.
Luca pulls up to the dungeon. He parks the car and grabs the bag for Reese. He walks quickly to the room he and Reese shared last night. He can hear Reese talking on the phone when he gets to the door.
He opens the door and hands, Reese, the bag. Reese is sitting on the bed wrapped in a towel. “Reese, I saw Thomas,” Luca says.
“I know,” she says.
“He was at your apartment,” Luca says.
“I know,” she says.
“Did you know he was coming by?” Luca asks.
“Yes, he needed some things from his office and I had them brought to my apartment for him to pick up,” Reese says.
“Nothing else?” Luca asks.
Reese stands up and kisses Luca. “Nothing else,” she says.
Reese gets dressed. Luca watches her as she slips into her clothes. “Are you watching me?” Reese says.
“I told you I can’t keep my eyes off of you,” Luca says.
“Well I need you to get it together and get me to work, sir,” Reese says.
Luca walks over to Reese and pulls her into him. He kisses her. “I just want to be with you. I can’t help myself,” Luca says.
Reese turns around and pulls her long hair into a tight ponytail. “You are so beautiful right now,” Luca says.
“Get me to work,” Reese says.
She grabs her purse and waits by the door. Luca follows her. The two head out of the dungeon and to the valet to get the car. “Will you see me tonight?” Luca asks.
“Maybe my boss is a real hard ass and I already late for work,” Reese says.
“I will have a chat with him,” Luca says.
As the two approach the valet, Roman, and Kat joins them. “We are late,” Kat says.
“Bitch I know,” Reese says.
“Tell her,” Roman says.
“Tell me what?” Reese says.
Roman and Kat are giggling and hanging all over one another. “Well we decided last night that we are going to just do it,” Kat says.
“Do what? Move-in together?” Reese says.
“No, We are getting married,” Kat says.
Reese reaches for Kat and hugs her. “I am so happy for you,” Reese says. She leans over and kisses Roman on the cheek.
“We can talk at work, we are late,” Reese says.
The four of them get into the car and head for the studio. “Where is my phone?” Reese grumbles.
“It is in your purse Reese,” Luca tells her.
“Are you sure you can work today?” Luca asks.
Reese glares at him. “Don’t start with me,” she barks at him.
“I’m just saying. You’ve had a long night,” Luca says.
“Hey we are back here,” Roman says.
“Sorry I forgot we had the kids in the car,” Luca says.
Luca pulls into the studio. Reese jumps out of the car and runs in. “She’s a little frantic this morning,” Kat says.
“Well, she hates to be late,” Roman says.
Kat kisses Roman, “See you tonight,” she says.
Roman moves into the front seat. “Mind giving me a ride back to Reese’s apartment?” Roman asks Luca.
“Sure,” Luca says.
“Listen, Mention to Kat and I will bring it up to Reese, If you and Kat want you can get married at my house,” Luca says.
“I will tell her tonight,” Roman says.
“How soon are you planning to get married?” Luca asks.
“As soon as possible,” Roman says.
“Seriously, you two just met,” Luca says.
“Well I know she is the one. I am not letting her go,” Roman says.
“Understand,” Luca says.
“Do you Luca? Because you are pushing Reese away slowly. Get your shit together or you will lose her,” Roman says.
Luca pulls up to the front of Reese’s building. Roman gets out of the car. “Not trying to be a dick man but don’t hurt my sister,” Roman says.
