Cappie pushed his head down on top of mine, “You’re welcome kitten.” The elevator door opened up and there stood my original date.
“What the fuck is this?” Luca said as we stepped out of the elevator.

Luca
Tonight was a fucking disaster. I already knew I was going to be begging and pleading for Cameron to talk to me but I sure as fuck did not expect to see her snuggled up against my fucking brother.
Cameron stormed out of the elevator, grabbing her phone off the table, and stomped off into the living room with a ‘fuck you Luca’ look on her face. Cappie, the stupid mother fucker, walked up to me before I shoved him away, earning a shove back. “What the fuck, Capriccio?”
“Hey, I wasn’t the one who stood her up. Like it or not asshole, you fucked up.” Shoulder checking me on his way into the living room he spun around, “And don’t fucking push me in my own house Luca.”
I followed him into the living room to see Cameron sitting by herself on the couch, arms crossed, facing forward, pissed as hell. I knew she was about to blow a gasket so I took a deep breath and inched my way forward. “Cam, I know you’re pissed at me.” I inched a little further, loosening my tie, “may I please sit and talk?” She looked up at me with those bright sapphires that were now full of sadness. I carefully lowered myself onto the couch next to her, extending my left arm across the back of the couch, close enough to touch her but I knew better than to do so right now. “I’m so sorry baby. I was so excited about you agreeing to see me, I had forgotten about a sit down with the Carini’s and my father. I didn’t think it would take so long and security takes our phones when we do sit downs. That is why I couldn’t call or text you. I’m so so sorry.” She turned her head nuzzling her cheek into my hand.
“Okay.”
“Just like that?” I rubbed my thumb across her earlobe watching her close her eyes and take a deep breath in.
“You told me the truth.” She flashed her eyes open and the dullness that I saw moments ago was starting to fade. “See how easy it was?” I smirk at her. I had to be on my best behavior.
“I’m sorry about how I reacted when I saw you with Cappie.” I scooted closer to her hoping she wouldn’t push me away.
“He was just trying to cheer me up.”
“I didn’t like it.” Another truth.
“He’s just a friend to me, Luca.”
I reached forward taking her face into my hands, “And what am I to you, Cameron?” I swiped a tear from her cheek.
“Things are different now. So much has changed in just five days.” I pushed my forehead to hers wanting to kiss her but afraid of her reaction. “What do you want from me Luca?”
“I want you.” I kissed her nose. “All of you.”
I opened my eyes to see her tear-filled eyes meeting mine. “Then I’m yours. It has always been that easy.” I wrap her into my arms. “On one condition.” She pulled back to face me. “If you ever lie to me again, omitted or not, I’m gone.” I leaned in and gently brushed my lips against hers. The familiar tingle spread throughout my body encouraging me to pull her onto her feet and lead her to her bedroom. Wrapping my arm around her back so she wouldn’t fall, I pushed us onto her bed as I nestled myself in between her legs.
“Luca, stop.” I freeze. “You have to move, it hurts my hips.” I stare at her in confusion, my mind going every which way but down the right one. Sensing my hesitancy, “Cappie took me out on his bike.” I saw red.
“He what!” I rolled off of her and pushed myself up on my elbow. “He took you on a fucking bike ride in your condition?”
I watched her sit up, “What condition? Luca I’ve been cleared of all medical diagnoses. I’ve just never been on a bike and that was a long trip to Frankie’s.”
I softened my temper, Cappie took her to our favorite childhood hot dog joint. Maybe that dick is on my side. “Great hot dogs.” I smiled at her earning a smile back. “There’s my girl.”
“I’ve always been your girl. It just took you awhile.” She snuggled up into my side laying her head on my chest. “Stay with me tonight?”
“Like I’d say no.” I kiss the top of her head before we both nodded off. I woke up to Cameron thrashing around, her arms and legs, swinging uncontrollably as she was screaming no. I grabbed her arms and pulled her to me while whispering her name and telling her that I was there. She finally woke up crying. “Sweetheart, it was just a dream.” Cam leaned up and kissed me, desperate, needy, urgent. Within minutes, I had my cock buried in her, back where I belong.
Cappie
After the confrontation with Luca, I passed through the living room, saying goodnight to Cam and headed directly to the shower and then bed except I couldn’t sleep. I tossed and turned with a restless mind, the problem being I didn’t know what was eating at me. I knew my brother was probably in the living room sweet talking his way back into Cameron’s life and I knew she’d take him back. They are probably having make up sex right now, not something I really want to think about, except it was all I could think about. I now knew what it felt like to have her wrapped around me. It may have just been tonight on my bike but having her arms around my waist, her hands on my thighs, her breasts pushed into my back, it felt really fucking good. I could only imagine what it would feel like to be between her legs, tasting her, sliding into her. Fuck, now I have to be the loser who jacks off to the thought of his brother’s girlfriend. Thank God, the walls are thick or I’d be in the fiery depths of hell right now.
The next morning, I got up and hit up the Keurig for my morning coffee when I saw the water was already loaded for me. Knowing exactly where Cameron was I walked out onto the balcony, “Thank you for getting my coffee ready.” I look over at her to see swollen eyes and puffy cheeks. “Are you okay, kitten?”
“I’m fine, I guess. You look like shit.” She’s right. I caught a glimpse of my bloodshot eyes before I walked out of the bathroom this morning.
“Gee thanks pumpkin. You look pretty awesome yourself.” I sat on the chair across from hers. “Things not go well?” My heart was fucking pounding as I waited for her response, which took fucking forever.
“He apologized and actually told me the truth about where he was.” She kept staring down into her coffee mug like she needed to talk. She needed Willa and she was stuck with me.
“Look, I know you need Willa right now, but I’m here if you want to talk.” I smile at her. “Even the girlie shit. Even if it is about my pain in the ass brother.”
“You asked for it.” She smiled. “So, he wants everything to be like it was before and it’s just not. I mean, he’s trying. He said he would get his own place so I didn’t have to go back to the manor, but that is some crazy talk. I want to date him, not live with him, even though I technically lived with him before. I want my own space away from his intensity and he doesn’t fucking get that. So of course, in typical Luca fashion, I got the text you in a while, please think about what I want and not what you want. That has been my morning. Why do you look like shit?”
“I want something I can’t have.” I took a drink of my coffee looking out at the city busy with hustle this Friday morning remembering that she got me to ride that death trap last night.
“If you are meant to have it, it will come to you.” That is one thing I love about this girl, she seems to know when and when not to pry.
“As simple as that?” I look at her, puffy eyes and all, she looked so beautiful with the sun coming up giving her complexion a glow.
“As simple as that.”
“Are you going out with Luca tonight?” I have no fucking clue why I asked her about her plans.
“No, he said he has to go to Chicago with your dad this weekend. That is the kind of shit I guess I’ll have to get used to. The ‘family’ stuff.” She held her mug tightly between both hands. “What are you up to this weekend?”
“No real plans. I have a case scenario to finish up but I’ll do that after class.” I
stood up to go inside. “Hey Cam, do you want my truck today? You can go shopping, get a blast at Dunkin. You just have to pick me up from class later.”
“Will I be okay on my own?” She looked at me hopeful. She loved her freedom last night, I’d love to see that smile from her every day.
“Yeah, nobody will see you in it. The windows are tinted and the front windshield has a one-way tint. It’s almost illegal to have it. Leroy can follow you anywhere you want to go.”
“You’d do that for me?”
“I’d do anything for you.” I paused feeling the awkwardness roll in. “Because you are one of my favorite friends.” There less awkward I think as I walk in the door, Cameron on my heels.
I had Cameron drop me off at class so she could see where to pick me up and I loaded OnStar with the places she wanted to visit, Dunkin Donuts, the Cleveland sign at the pier, the marina. She turned down having Leroy follow her. I didn’t approve that idea so much but I did program his number into her cell phone should she have any issues.
Concentrating in class was virtually impossible. Luckily, this stuff came easy to me and I was able to answer questions when called upon. I was lost in thought again when my phone vibrated on the table. It was a selfie of Cameron with a blast in hand standing by a yacht at the marina with the caption “Whatchya doin sailor?” I smiled and saved the image in my phone, fuck she was pretty. I decided to text back.
Me: Ahoy matey! That looks pretty. Get invited aboard yet?
C: No, apparently people work during the day
Me: I don’t work…. yet
C: You are going to be my nighttime fun
Me: As long as you call me hot again
C: OMG! Shouldn’t you be paying attention in class?
Me: You started it
C: I’ll finish it too
Me: I hope so!
C: CAPRICCIO!
Me: Oh you are so in for it!
C: Bring it on Mr. Attorney at Law
Me: It’s on kitten!
C: The lights?
