Reese wakes up next to Luca. She nor he has moved all day. Reese snuggles in closer to Luca. She looks him up and down. His color looks better. She is relieved he is looking better than he did when she arrived this morning.
Reese knows she has to go to the studio tonight and work with Kat but she isn’t sure about leaving Luca alone. She knows her only option is to call her brother.
Reese leaves the bed for a moment to retrieve her phone. She scrolls until she finds Romans's name. She hits the call button. She patiently waits for him to answer.
“Hello Sister,” Roman says.
“Roman I have to work tonight can you stay with Luca, please,” Reese says.
“Seriously Reese,” Roman says.
“Listen to me. I have to go to the studio to be with Kat. I need you, Roman. Please,” Reese says.
Roman loves that Reese needs him. “I will be there sister, but you owe me big time,” he
Luca awakes the next day alone. He is not sure if he dreamt Reese being with him or if he has been hallucinating. Mrs. Resva comes in to check on him while he is getting out of bed.“You better sir,” Mrs. Resva asks.“I think so. What happened?” Luca asks.Mrs.Resva is very perplexed. “Sir You had food poisoning. Remember ?” she asks.Luca sits on the side of the bed. “Not really. I don’t remember anything except Reese. Reese was here correct?” he says.“Yes, and her brother stayed with you also while she worked at the studio with Kat. Are you sure you’re able to go back to work today?” Mrs.Resva asks.Luca collects his thoughts. “Yes I have to go back today,” Luca says.Luca dismisses Mrs.Resva. He leaves his bedroom and goes to the shower. When Luca steps into the shower he remembers falling the day before. “What the hell happened?”
Reese begins working at the studio every night avoiding Luca. He has been cold to her since the day they had sex on his office floor. He told no one she was a vampire. He did not fire her but stayed distant.Kat observed the tension between them when they were all together but did not mention it or say a word. Reese and Luca both keep it professional.Kat and Reese become inseparable. Reese became a great advocate for the girls working at the studio. She was on their side first. To hell with production or the bottom line she took care of the woman first.The studio was doing better than ever. Luca nor anyone else could say a word to her. She took care of business. Reese buried herself in her work and her work was the studio.It’s been two months since Luca had a real conversation with Reese. He has to be at the studio tonight and he knows Reese will be there.“Reese, I have some questions about the script?” Danie
Reese wraps everything up for the night. Daniel drops by her office.“Are you about ready?” Daniel asks.“Daniel I am going to meet everyone there. You are going to the Dungeon Bar right?” Reese says.“Yeah. Unless you want to go somewhere else?” Daniel asks.“No. I think Luca is coming as well as his PA. His PA Thomas is riding with me. I believe everyone is coming,” Reese says.“Okay. Sounds good,” Daniel says. Reese could tell he was disappointed.She knew she should have dinner with him one night but nothing more. She really didn’t want him to get the wrong idea since they had to work together on a daily basis. She knew how well that had worked for her in the past.Reese finishes up with her work and shuts down her computer. She looks up to see Kat smiling at her.“What? It better not be anything. I have already shut down my computer and I a
Thomas drives Reese back to the studio to pick up her car. “I am sorry,” Reese says.Thomas reaches for Reese and gives her a devilish smile. “For what? You have nothing to be sorry for. It is not your fault Luca was being a dick. It seems to be what he does best right?” Thomas says.Reese laughs. “You are right. He is a dick,” she says.“So what is the deal anyway? You guys date or what?” Thomas asks.“Not exactly. It is complicated,” Reese says.The two pull up to the studio. “I have a bottle of bourbon in my office,” Reese says.“Is that an invitation,” Thomas asks.“I believe it is,” Reese says.Thomas gets out of his car and walks around to let Reese out. He opens her door and takes her by the hand.Reese takes the studio main door key out of her purse and opens the door. The two walk down the main hall to the back
Reese decides to sleep in her office for the night. She walks down to Kat’s dressing room to take a shower. She hopes there are no cameras in the damn shower. Reese is distraught but trying to hold herself together as she steps into Kat’s shower.She stands in the hot water trying to calm down. She uses Kat’s shampoo and conditioner to wash her hair. She grabs a clean washcloth off the rack just outside of the shower and Kat’s body wash. She washes herself. She begins to cry uncontrollably. Reese sits down in the shower to let the hot water rinse away her tears.She leans her head back against the shower wall when she hears a noise. “Great Luca probably left the door open and someone has snuck in here,” she says.“Reese,” Kat hollers.“I am in your shower,” Reese hollers back.Reese steps out of the shower and grabs a towel.“I hope you didn’t mind. I just needed t
Reese wakes up before Kat. She takes her blanket and covers Kat up with it. She has made her decision. She walks down the hall to her office. She takes a box out of the closet in the hall. She walks into her office and starts packing up her things. She takes out her company cell and puts it on the desk. She removes her company card and car keys from her purse and places them on the desk.Reese turns on her computer and forwards all her emails to Luca. She takes two pieces of paper off of the printer and pens a note for Kat. She spends time on it making sure Kat knows she is positive this is the right move. Luca’s note was much simpler. Reese takes out her cell and texts Roman to come to pick her up. While she waits she seals the envelope with Kat’s note puts it in her purse. She leaves Luca’s on her desk. Reese looks around the office to see if she left anything.She leaves her office and walks to Kat’s dressing room. S
Reese sleeps as Roman and Kat get to know one another. Sparks are flying between the two of them. Roman tries not to get too involved with humans when he can help it, but Kat is doing something to him that he can’t seem to pull away from.As Roman and Kat continue to explore each other slowly with sweet kisses on the couch there is a knock on the door.Knock Knock Knock“Who could that be?” Roman grumbles as he leaves Kat to see who is at the door.Roman licks his lips tasting the last kiss he got from Kat. “I am coming damn stop knocking,” Roman continues to grumble.Roman opens the door to see Luca standing on the other side of the door.“oh it is you,” Roman says.Luca stands at the door for a moment not saying a word at first. “I just want to talk to Reese,” he says.“Well, she’s sleeping right now and upset and honestly probably not
Reese sleeps through the day. She is mentally and physically exhausted. She hasn’t been feeding properly. She has to get her life on a regular schedule again. Luca has been problematic. She has to make a decision about him. She cannot let him be this way toward her. He has to either be with her or let her go.When Reese gets out of bed she hears talking coming from her kitchen. Three voices are in her kitchen talking. She decides she needs to investigate.She slips into her comfy slippers and walks into the kitchen. She stands in the doorway. Kat, Luca, and Roman are sitting together drinking.“You guys look like you are having fun,” Reese says.The three are extremely drunk. Roman who has the highest tolerance for alcohol is even drunk. “What are you three doing?” Reese asks.“We are drinking?” Kat says.The three of them pour another drink and an extra one for Reese. “Woah, don&rs
