I could not believe how blind he was being. Luca was always able to tell with other girls. With me? He was acting like he hadn’t rejected me last night.

How could he not tell why I was upset? It was obvious. He had turned me down like sex with me was completely off the table.

I looked at Marco, who seemed excited to hear the drama, waiting for me to answer Luca./

Luca looked pissed now, for some reason. He’s been angry ever since I mentioned he couldn’t stop me from having alone time with his brother. That was the only thing that seemed to get a reaction out of him.

He should not be pissed.

I should be.

He wasn’t the one who had been rejected. It was me.

“Do you really want to talk about that here with your brother next to us?” I asked, faking a smile.

He seemed to realise what I was implying. His ears went red. In fact, he could have been a tomato with how red his face was now. I could see the alarm bells going off in his head.

“So it’s about last night?” he asked as if waiting for the confirmation from me.

I glared at him. He got the picture from that one look. He swallowed hard and then looked away. Once again, he was doing that thing where he couldn’t stare into my eyes.

What was wrong with him?

“Wait. What happened last night?” Marco did not like being left out.

“None of your business,” Luca growled.

Marco sat back, delighted anyway. “I love family drama. I made the right decision to tag along with you two. Never a dull moment.”

The rest of the drive was silence and Marco humming like a man who had won a seat he had not paid for.

Luca tried my name once. I looked at the window. He tried again at a roundabout. I asked the driver if he could put the music louder.

Marco said, “no. Not louder. If it’s any louder, I won’t be able to hear anything.”

Luca told him to shut up. Marco did not shut up. He talked about cake and Francesca finding an empty driveway and Valentina waiting for a car that would not come. I ignored all of it. Luca’s jaw got tighter every minute.

I was not looking forward to watching him race this time. There was too much on my mind after our time at his parents’ home. Not once did I think Luca would ever turn down sex, even with me.

That part stung more than I wanted it to. It was my fault for bringing it up in the first place but I was having a hard time accepting that he said no to me but yes to every other woman who showed interest in him.

Why?

How could that be?

On the jet, Luca sat across from me. I sat next to the window. Marco sat where he could see both of us and ordered coffee like this was entertainment.

“Charlotte. Nuts or the sad little sandwiches.”

“I’m fine.”

“She’s fine,” Luca muttered.
