CHARLOTTE-

I considered asking him to have sex with me.

That was how bad it had gotten..

Francesca kept steering Valentina toward him every chance she got. A hand on a chair. A laugh that included only them. It irritated me. I was jealous and annoyed and sexually frustrated and I did not want anyone else.

We could do no strings. Whatever rule he wanted. One night. Get it out. Stop dreaming about a kiss I had been drunk for.

I knew I was stupid for even thinking it.

Was I so desperate just to get laid by my best friend? Would I turn into one of the other girls he fucked and forgot about the next day?

Would I even be okay with that? The truth was I wanted more. However, I knew Luca would never give it

to me.

I inwardly groaned.

He had been strange with me all day. Could not even look me in the eyes. I did not know why. When I finally caught him by the terrace doors he looked nervous. Actually nervous. Luca Vescari, Monaco winner, nervous next to me? Why? Why was he acting so strange all of a sudden?

“What’s your problem?” I asked.

He blinked. “Why do you think I have a problem?”

I shrugged. “You’ve been avoiding my face like it’s difficult to look at. You look like you haven’t slept in days. You flinched when I said your name. Pick one.”

“I didn’t flinch.”

“You flinched.”

| “Wait-“I gasped. “Did you sleep with the girl your mother is trying to set you up with after you told me

you weren’t going to? That’s it, isn’t it? You slept with her!”

He looked appalled that I would even accuse him of something like that.

Rico appeared with two plates and no timing.

“What are we arguing about?”

“Go away,” Luca said.

“Rude. I brought you food. Elisa made me.” Rico looked between us. “Get a room, would you?”

A room? For what?

Teft after that strange comment.

“I’m tired,” Luca said.

“You’re lying.”

He rubbed his jaw. Still not looking at me properly. “It’s this house. It’s Valentina. It’s Marco arriving like a saint. It’s my mother counting down the days she can have grandchildren. And no, I did not sleep with her. I meant it when I told you I wouldn’t.”

“So what does that have to do with avoiding me?” I demanded. It still didn’t explain why he was being so awkward around me.

“You’re seeing things.” He said, his jaw clenched.

He was keeping something from me. I knew it. I could sense it. I could tell when he was lying.

Giulia came forward and I knew his mother had sent her. “Luca. Stop hiding in a corner. Valentina asked about your likes and dislikes. I said you hate everything except winning. Come answer her questions. I’m tired.”
