Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 85

Luca’s POV

“We haven’t met before, nor actually spoken before. Except that one time and I was sure she didn’t even know who I was at that moment. Of course, I had looked deeper into her because she had striked a spot in me which I had been thinking was purely sexual at first.” He paused at the last word and puffed at a small laugh before glancing at me to nudge the side of my shoulder.

“No offense man, but your cousin is really hot.”

I breathed out a small chuckle and shrugged once, flexing my fingers around in my pants pockets a little, knowing he obviously had a point by that last sentence which he had made– Aria was indeed hot.

“I mean, I never knew you guys were related from the very start, because I’ve never seen get around you throughout our whole friendship days, but then I made my researches and discovered that you were cousins.” He continued and then I glanced sideways at him, lifting my brow up at him. We’ve completely stopped walking at this point and we’re just standing in a particular spot, a few feet away from the entrance of tne hospital.

“Then?” I prompted when he remained quiet and kept staring at his feet. He shrugged his shoulders, lifting his shoulders high up to graze against his ears a little before glancing up and turning his head around to stare at me.

“Then I decided to not make any kind of move.” He finally said and I corked my head around to stare at him pointedly, my lips thinning and moving from side to side as I watched his left foot start to slightly move on the floor.

“That’s well…” I trailed off and huffed out a small breath before continuing, “That’s new. I honestly had no idea you were once into her.” I started to say after a few moments and a small, dried chuckle slipped out of his lips.

“I mean, I was… I think I still am, obviously.” He replied after a few moments and I nodded my head once, absorbing his reply and trying to fully process the information that my best friend and right hand man, was into my cousin– was so into my cousin, someone who I had no idea could ever be interested in someone, outside of sex and anything involving the bedroom.

“Why?” I asked after a while, staring up into the early evening sky and breathing in the flowery scent that was filling the whole atmosphere – courtesy of the amount of flowers that was planted in different spots and areas here in the hospital.

“I honestly don’t know. There’s just something about her, I guess.” He replied and I nodded my head once again, still trying to come to terms with the fact that my best friend was interested in my cousin.

“So, you haven’t ever spoken to her? Nothing?” I continued, pressing down on him for more details, because I was still trying to completely absorb and understand everything.

“Of course I have.” He said while staring at me with an expression covering his face which screamed ‘really?’ right into my face, and I shrugged my shoulders once because that was what I had thought before.

“We met at one particular night, in a nightclub, early this year.” He started to say after a few seconds and I sharply glanced at him immediately, narrowing my eyes at him and taking a step away from his side.

He barked out a small laugh as soon as he noticed before turning around and throwing his hands up in expsrstion.

“What now, man.” He said with a shake of his head and inflated at him even more, my mouth thinning even mire as I willed my mind to not start to pounder over what isn’t even fully clarified yet.

“Did you sleep with her?” I asked him after a few seconds and watched as the laugh on his face slowly disappeared, which made the frown on my face get even deeper and more outlined. I lifted my right hand up before he could start to speak, cutting him off automatically and I started to speak immediately.

“Please don’t tell me you slept with her.”
