*Tom* "Can I get you guys something ?" Luca asks, as we have gotten to the club and sat down in one of the VIP couches. "I'll have a Scotch please". I slide my arm around Meri, pulling her to my side. "What do you want, love ?" She looks thoughtful for a moment. "Can I get a glass of champagne ?" "Sure no problem sweetie". Luca flashes her a smile and turns to Lumi. "And what can I get for you ? Witches brew ? Pure poison ?" "Just a bottle of water". For once Lumi isn't answering back with some snarky remark. Luca looks rather surprised. "Water ?" "Yeah water ... you know wet thing, you can bathe in it ... do you have a problem with that ?" Her eyes flashes. Luca holds up his hands. "Relax, it's just not the most common response to get at a club". Meri leans over, taking Lumi's hand. "Are you sure you are okay siskoni ?" "I am fine Meri, don't start worrying". Lumi is smiling softly. "I had wine with dinner -.. so I better hold back a bit, that's all". Meri sighs. "Just pr
*Tom* I almost drop my keys trying to unlock the door. Suddenly feeling all nervous and uncertain. What if she only wants to snuggle ? What if she ends up disappointed after all this wait ? "Tom ... breathe". She gently takes the key and unlocks the door. "Nothing to stress about". I follow her inside, closing the door behind us and seconds later we are greeted by Nani jumping around us, begging for attention and a walk. "I better take him out for a short walk". "It's fine. I'll go get ready for bed then". She says with a shy smile, before kissing me softly. After putting on his harnesh I hurry out to walk Nani. Knowing that if I had postponed it like I was really tempted to, he probably wouldn't have come out before tomorrow. Of course he has to walk extra slow and sniff at everything and I start to grow impatient, wanting to get back to the warm embrace that awaits me there. Finally Nani is done with what he needs to do and we hurry home, hoping that Meri hasn't fallen aslee
*Lumi* After getting out of the cap, we hurry up to the front steps and I find my key to unlock the door. I can feel Luca standing close behind me, his hands having a tight hold on my hips. His warm lips start nippling on my neck and shoulder and I have to admit that it makes it very hard to focus on getting the key into the lock. "Luca, could you stop for just a moment please ? I can't get the door unlocked and I don't think you want to continue this on my doorstep". I say after missing the keyhole for the third time. He chuckles in my ear, but at least he removes his lips from my skin long enough for me to get the door opened. Then he eagerly pushes me inside and closes the door behind us. When he turns around I am on him in a flash. The old lady downstairs is def, and goes to bed at 9 pm, so no danger of her walking out finding us making out in the hallway. My lips are sealed to his and my hands are in his hair, making him gasp. His hands are pulling my blouse from my tro
*Luca* "Wake up Your oaf ... I can't risk Meri showing up and finding you in my bed". Lumi is kicking the bed, rattling me from my sleep. I groan and roll on my back. "Couldn't you chill for once ? I mean you are the ice queen after all". "Ha ha always so funny. Come on get a move on and please stop waving that thing at me". She huffs. Okay I am getting tired of this. And before she can react I pull her down on the bed, having her under me. "You were not saying that last night. But what about we start over ... I have a feeling we kind of got off on the wrong foot. Hi I am Luca, nice to meet you". "Luca stop being silly, let me go". She is squirming, but I am not giving in this easily. "Baby listen, I do enjoy our banter ... actually it's a bit kinky, but both you and me know that ... Well yesterday wasn't an accident. Why don't we just admit that ?" She still smells of vanilla. She presses hard on my chest. "Don't Luca ... it was nothing ... it was sex. I mean we don't even li
3 weeks later *Meri* I wake up feeling happy … today I am finally going to see Tom again. He has been in America for a week doing some comic con and some interviews. I have missed him like crazy, and can't wait to see him again. Actually he arrived home sometime last night, but as I had an event at School that ran late … and he wasn't sure what time he would be in and he probably would be exhausted after the long trip, we decided to wait and see each other today. I have been increasingly worried about Lumi. She has been looking pale and having headaches. And she has been bone tired too. But she insists that she is okay and taking her medication. Rolling over I pick up my ipad, seeing I have a lot of notifications on twitter. Like a lot a lot. Even if Tom hasn't gone out and talked about our relationship and my name has not publicly been mentioned in connection to him, I have gotten a lot of new followers lately. And Tom admitted on his panel 3 days ago, that yes he is seeing som
*Tom* "Sleep darling, you need some rest". I tuck in Meri, kissing her softly. We have spent the whole day at the hospital with Lumi, and now it's really late and we are both tired. "Thanks Tom, for being there and for keeping calm and doing what needed to be done". She mumbles, half asleep. I smile softly. "It was my pleasure, love". "Sorry I was angry, I trust you". She whispers, slipping off to sleep. I smile to myself, it's like the tenth time she is saying that, and there is no reason for her to apologise. Going downstairs I call for Nani, apologising to him that he has had to wait so long for a walk. But we just couldn't leave Lumi earlier. It's nice walking down the cool evening street, clearing my head a bit. It had been a shock for me to find out about Lumi being sick. I mean I had noticed her looking a bit pale and tired lately, but I had thought she had a virus or was stressed from school. It had been a small blood clot caused by too many blood platelets. Luckily the
*Luca* The kiss is soft and warm, her lips molding perfectly to mine and I can't stop a small whimper from escaping my throat. I haven't been able to stop thinking about her and when Tom called me, needing to talk, as he was pretty shaken, I might have been a very poor friend to him, but I panicked. I needed to get to her as fast as possible. But damn she is not making it easy at all. I had been taking a huge change … threatening to leave. luckily it paid off. but I can't help wondering when she will pull up the facade again. "How are you … ". Meri's voice trails off. We quickly break the kiss and both turn to see Meri and Tom stand in the doorway, looking utterly flabbergasted. I try not to laugh at their expressions. "Uhm, hi guys". "Luca ! What the fuck are you doing here". Tom manages to say, after picking his jaw off the floor. "Kissing my best girl … what does it look like I am doing". I can't help chuckling, I have never seen Tom look this surprised. Meri is staring a
*Lumi* The door open and my mom comes striding in. "oh Mussu.. I told you that you should have stayed at home where I could protect you". "Äiti ! Stop fuzzing about me … And stop calling me Mussu". I grumble at my mom. As always she looks perfect. She comes over to hug me. "But you are my Mussu, you will always be. Where is your sister ?" "She is picking up some things for me in the small shop downstairs. She'll be back in a minute". I tell her. Mom is great, but she can be a bit over protective. "So what is it with her seeing someone ? Is he a good man ?" She asks, sitting down on the chair. Of course she is curious, no man has ever been good enough for her girls. I shake my head. "Meri better tell you herself. But Tom is a good guy mom, he really is. So ... give him a chance". "Give him a chance ? What's wrong with him since you are saying it like that ?" She starts looking all worried of course. "Nothing Äiti, but I know you". I sigh. "You are certain to find something".
