Luca POV
When Abigale gets up from the table I wait a few seconds and excuse myself. I need to get her alone without this a**hole around. Gio smiles at me because he knows what I am doing. The boy toy isn't paying attention he is to busy flirting with another girl at the table. I walk quickly to the hallway near the bathrooms. I notice a coat room on the way and stand near the door out of sight. As soon as I catch sight of Abigale I grab her by the arm and pull her into the dark coat closet. I had only planned on talking to her but the perfume she is wearing and the feel of her skin makes me crazy. I slam my lips down on hers and kiss her like a starving man. Its better than I remember and I have never in my life been turned on by a kiss like this. I can feel my c**k twitch in my pants. I grab her around the waist with my hands resting on her ass. I know she is not this kind of girl but she is as lost as I am in the moment. She must remember herself because she pushes me off.
Abigale POV
What the hell do you think you are doing? I say into the darkness. Based on how the kiss felt I know its Luca. I feel around the wall for a light switch and flip it on. When I turn I come face to face with the hottest man I have ever seen. Despite that he doesn't have the right to maul me without my permission. What the hell Luca? "I'm sorry Abigale I lost control for a minute." I guess you did, we haven't see each other in like six years and you pull me in here grabbing my ass for gods sake. "I know please forgive me I really just wanted to talk but I smelled your perfume and felt your skin, then I wanted to touch you." Oh my god this man has my panties soaked just from him talking but I will be damned if I say that to him. Well in the future I would appreciate you keeping your hands to yourself until I invite you to touch me. "Does that mean at some point you will want me to touch you" he says with a smug smile. I give him a stern look. "Sorry to soon for the jokes." You think, what did you want to talk about Luca that couldn't be said at the table. While were at it why were you mad mugging me while I was dancing with Derrick?
Luca POV
I wanted us to be able to speak without out the whole table hearing our conversation. As for Derrick, I say his name with as much disdain as I can muster, he isn't good enough for you. "You don't even know him so how can you make a decision about him." "You act like your jealous but that shouldn't be because I don't belong to you, I am no ones possession" I can feel my anger rising but I keep myself in check. If this was any other woman talking to me like this I would have paddled her a** by now. I am well aware that you don't belong to me. I think of you as a friend and that douchebag who called himself your boyfriend is out there flirting with everything that has a pulse. I can see the hurt for a split second but then its gone. I want to go back out there and break that f**kers knee caps for hurting her. "First he is not my boyfriend which I will remind him of later and second I don't need anyone to defend me I am strong enough to do it on my own." I didn't mean to insinuate that you are not strong I just believe that woman should be treated like queens and I don't like men that misuse women. "I appreciate that Luca but I assure you I will handle him." "Was there anything else you wanted to say before we get back to the party?" I was hoping that you would be willing to go to dinner with me at my restaurant just to catch up as friends. "After the way you just kissed me and grabbed my a** are you sure its as friends?" Yes I apologize already Abigale, I just want to go to dinner as friends. Its total bullsh*t but I want her to say yes. "Give me your number and I'll think about it and let you know." I smile at least she didn't shoot me down completely. I put my number in her phone and we head back to the party.
When we take our seats I can see Derrick eyeballing me and then looking very angry at Abigale. He must smell my cologne on her or he just thinks its odd we came back at the same time, good. I see him grab her arm and I see red. I am up on my feet but Gio stands in front of me. "This is not the place she will handle him." I see Abigale stand pulling her arm from his grip and heading for the door. He gets up to follow her and smiles back at me. Gio let me go now I say with menace in my voice. "No I will not, I know she will handle him and you will have no shot if you interfere." "Abby is no weak flower, she is strong and independent." I can see that about her but my nature is to protect. Men in our family protect and worship our women. I have never felt this way for any of the women I dated which makes me think I am screwed with this one. We would die protecting them and I will do the same for the woman I choose. I hope I hear from her sooner rather than later or I am going to have to come up with a new plan to win this woman over.
Abigale POV
I head to the car with Derrick on my heels. I can't believe he thought he could grab me, I am pissed. The valet gives him the keys as I get in the passenger side of the car. I am silent trying to cool off before I say my peace. "What were you thinking embarrassing me Abby?" Are you kidding me he's angry with me. You have to be f**king kidding me first you introduce yourself as my boyfriend, then you are flirting with everything with a v****a, and then you grab me. Let me just tell you something I don't belong to you, you are not my boyfriend, and we are done dating as far as I am concerned. Drop me off at my apartment and lose my number. "You b***h you go f**k some guy in the bathroom and you are talking about me flirting." "We have been dating for three months and I have barely gotten to second base and tonight you f**k some guy you just met." "I don't think so you owe me something." You are out of your damn mind if you think I owe you anything. I am not a wh**e like you Derrick. He pulls up in front of my apartment and before he can say a word or grab me I am out of the car heading for my door. I rush to go inside and Derrick spins me around and he's in my face. "I know you heard me Abby you owe me something." F**k you Derrick if you don't leave you are going to be sorry. "The only thing I am sorry for is wasting time on your frigid a**." Before I can react he slaps me across the face. What the hell, he just hit me. I recover quickly and I bring my knee up into his groin. He doubles over and I run into my building. I can't believe that b**tard hit me. Once I am in my apartment with the door locked I feel myself start to shake. I am not fragile but that scared the s**t out of me. I can't call my father because he will go to jail for killing him. If I call my mother she will tell my father and the police, the company doesn't need the publicity. The only person I can think to call is Gio. I just want him to come over to make sure he is gone. Gio picks up on the third ring. "What's wrong Abby you just left?" Gio can you come to my apartment? "What happened Abby why do you sound like you have been crying?" Gio please just come over and make sure Derrick isn't outside my apartment please. "I am on my way, stay inside with the door locked."
Gio POV
I am sitting at the table at the party waiting for Luca to come back from the bar. We decided one more drink and we would head home. My phone rings and I see Abby's name appear on the screen. I pick up and she sounds like she has been crying. Just as I ask her what's wrong Luca sits down next to me. He mouths "who are you talking to?" I mouth back while she is talking Abby. Now I see my cousins face go from calm to furious. I tell her I am on my way and to keep the doors locked. As soon as I hang up I can see the murderous look on his face. "What the f**k happened Gio?" I don't know yet but she did mention to make sure Derrick isn't outside her apartment. "I'm going to kill that ba**ard if he hurt her." Calm down Luca your not killing anyone we are not our family. We head out after saying goodbye to my Aunt and Uncle. If Abby wants them to know anything she will tell them herself. I just hope I can keep Luca under control. Maybe you should just let me handle this Luca and I will call you after I get to Abby's. "Like hell I will, I am coming." I know arguing is a mute point so I just drop it till we get to the apartment.
