“For me.” He takes it and reads it with a chuckle. “You want me to wear this?”
“You don’t have to if you don’t want to. I made some other stuff, too, but it’s in Lil’s room.”
He reaches his hand around my neck, pulling my pendant up. His laugh tickles my ear when he sees ‘Property of Luca DeVille’ and a little frog stamped into the metal.
“I love you, Minx.” He puts the necklace on, and I smile over my shoulder.
“I love you, too, Beefcake.” Then I settle back against him and hold the chips up. “Dorito?”
The bag is empty by the time the episode is done. I’m sureLuca ate most of the chips, not me. He balls it up and tosses it onto the nightstand.
“Come on, ElastiCunt. Time for bed.”
“See? It rolls off the tongue. ElastiCunt.”
“Mmhmm.” He drags me under the covers and curls around me, wrapping me up in his arms.
I adore this man so much.
When we’re snuggled up and half asleep, I mumble, “You didn’t tell me how loud I am.”
“When?”
“Sexy times.”
He chuckles. “Who told you you’re loud?”
“Lil,” I say with a yawn. “I ordered her better headphones. They have cat ears on them.”
Chapter 71
Say my name
Ariana
Istartle awake to a knock on our door. “Alright, you have fifteen minutes to get out here. Ari, don’t bother washing your hair, and just throw on some clothes. Luca, I have no idea what you should wear or what you’re doing this morning. But I know Becca’s making breakfast, so get your butts in gear!” Mom’s voice rings clear.
“You’re bossy today,” I yell back at her.
“One of my babies is getting married, and I have big pampering plans for both of my girls.”
“Alright, alright, I’m moving.” I groan, roll out of bed, and stretch. Luca moans behind me. I turn and look at him, only to find him staring at me hungrily. “None of that this morning. We don’t have time.” I run to the shower, and he stalks after me.
It turns out we do have time.
We stop by Lil’s room, and she laughs for a full two minutes before covering Luca’s hickey. Then, the three of us make our way down to the kitchen.
My eyes immediately go to the coffee cart set up in the corner.I grab Luca’s arm in excitement. “Holy shit, Beefcake, the best iced caramel white mochas are in the house!” I glance up at him, and he looks so fucking happy that I’m happy, my heart squeezes. “This was your idea.”
“Yeah,” he shrugs like it’s not a big deal. I grab him by the shirt and kiss him. “Go on, get your first of many coffees of the day.”
Lil and I skip over to it, and by the time we get back, Luca has a plate of bacon and banana caramel pancakes waiting for me at the table.
Pretty soon, we’re joined by Mom, Dad, Anthony, Becca, and even Tina. When Luca’s done eating, he kisses me, then goes off with my dad and his dad to god knows where. What the fuck do guys do before a wedding?
Meh, whatever it is, I hope he has fun.
I finish my coffee and head for the closest bathroom to pee. Luca’s mom is waiting for me when I come out.
