Chapter 47

He turned and smiled at her.

“Don’t mind me. Just warming up dinner.”

Lori nodded.

“No problem. I’m just dropping off the laundry.”

Gabriel nodded.

“Headed to bed after?”

“Not yet.”

“Care to sit with me while I eat my dinner?”

He asked and Lori nodded.

“Sure.”

At the table, Gabriel brought out a bottle of Pinot noir. He didn’t offer Lori one, howing her answer might be no, since she was breastfeeding, but he saw

that she was staring at the bottle as he poured some into a wine glass for himself

“Do you want some? I’m sure a little won’t hurt.”

He said and she finally caved.

“Okay. Just a little.”

Gabriel brought out another glass, pouring only a little of the wine for her.

“Is this okay?”

He asked softly and she nodded.

“Yes. Thank you.”

They sat in silence for a while, with nothing but the sound of Gabriel’s cutlery of the plate and Lori setting her glass of wine on the table after drinking it

all.

Suddenly a thought crossed her head and she turned sharply towards Gabriel. A he talked to Elliot, she had not seen him. She didn’t even know if he was still in the pool house but she didn’t see any signs that indicated that he was. Swondered what Gabriel could have told him.

“Do you not like Elliot? I’ve noticed your conversations are always strained.”

She asked and Gabriel smiled.

“Was it so obvious?”

It definitely was, she could feel the tension in their glares the other day.

“Yes.”

“Well, I like Elliot. He’s my cousin, but he can be extremely annoying and out of ne.”

“He doesn’t like to follow orders, pretty much does whatever he wants and think he can get away with it because we’re family.”

“I didn’t know he was like that…”

Gabriel nodded.

“Yes. He’s also pretty charming so when I complain about him it seems like I’m making a big deal out of nothing.”

“You should be careful around him though. I think he likes you.”

Lori’s eyes widened.

“Likes me?!”

“Yes. I can see it.”

Lori chuckled.

“That’s not possible. We’ve only met like three times and I doubt we had much of a conversation.”

Gabriel shrugged.

“I think that’s enough time for him to be attracted to you.”

Lori raised an eyebrow.

“Do you develop attractions that fast?”

She asked and he looked a bit surprised by her question but smiled anyways.

“I don’t think so. Although it didn’t used to be the case.”

“Hommm. What changed?”

Lori asked as she leaned forward and poured herself more wine. Gabriel eyed her but he said nothing.

“You grow older. And you find out that there’s more to the surface.”

“Well. That sound profound.”

“It isn’t really.”

“What about you Lori??”

He asked her and she pointed to herself.

“Me?”

She asked and Gabriel nodded.

“Yes,”

Lori shrugged. She had never had a real relationship. Never been in one. Sure, it sounded very unbelievable but it was the truth.

“I never had a real relationship..”

Gabriel raised his hand, cutting her off.

“You’ve never found yourself attracted to anyone?

He asked and Lori looked away. The question was a setup. Because she knew the answer.

Of course she had found herself attracted to someone before, the only problem was that he was sitting in front of her.

“I think everyone has. I mean it’s normal…”

She stated lightly.

“Yes. It is normal.”

Gabriel said as he dropped his fork and leaned towards her, his piercing blue eyes staring at her intensely.

His voice was low, husky and the room was heavy with tension as he said.

“I have to confess, I’ve been attracted to you since I laid my eyes on you.”

Lori gasped a bit.

“Gabriel…”

He shook his head.

“You don’t have to say anything. You don’t even have to act on it, I just wanted to let you know that.”
