Chapter 207
Sofia’s POV
I was sitting in the middle of all the books I was trying to sort out and I’ve been getting carried away
each time I pick up a particr book to check the back of the cover for the blurb. My insides were
bursting with energy and I was finding it really hard to concentrate on what I was currently doing.
I was in a little short and anotherrge shirt without a bare beneath the shirt this time. After taking my
bath, I decided not to head outside anymore since my books have already been ced in my bedroom
by no other than Matilda. Before going into the shower, I had paused outside the bathroom, before the
mirror in order to check how my throat looked, and it honestly looked really awful. The marks were
really dark and looked oh so angry, but I had no idea as to why me seeing those marks against my skin
was making my insides twist in a weird kind of way.
The fact that I didn’t hate those said marks and wanted it to always be around my throat, so that each
time I stare at it, I’d get reminded of Luca and how he made that appear on my throat. It was a really
weird feeling and I know that, but I couldn’t seem to shake the feeling of pride and satisfaction off my
body each time I got reminded of those marks… and then I proceeded to go take a shower with my
insides still twisting around with a low heat burning in it.
At the moment, I was trying to sort my books out to no avail. The new teddy I just got today was on the
bed behind me while I was sitting on the floor in a cross legged position. I''ve yet to find a name for the
teddy, but I wanted to name it so badly at this point.
I nced up at the wall clock here in the bedroom and worried my teeth over my bottom lip when my
eyes registered what the time currently says. It was some minutes after eight in the night and I was
hoping Luca would be here soon. I wanted to get toy my eyes on him and be able to feel his door
against me and be able to kiss him and feel his hands against my body.
I breathed out a sigh as I pushed my hair out of my face and continued to do what it was that I had
been trying to do with the books ever since I took a seat right here on the ground.
After a few more minutes, I was starting to pack the books back into the carton, with a few selected
ones arranged in a different spot at the back of my folded leg. I was about to push those cartons beside
my bedside table when I heard the bedroom door start to get pushed open, and I held my breath
instantly before turning my head around and facing the bedroom door.
I locked eyes with Luca almost immediately and I felt the breath in my lungs get pushed out in a small
gasp. I could feel my insides starting to tighten up at that particr moment, just as my stomach started
to feel like that burning heat was only getting more intense as each second slipped past the clock. I
couldn’t help it, I broke into a small grin and felt my heart skip a thousand beats when he quietly shut
the door behind him and paused for a moment behind it, with his eyes locked on my face, as he stared

at me in that particr kind of way that was making my belly swoop over and over again.
I was super excited to see him, after hoping for him to get back for a while now. But now that he was
here right now, I was feeling extremely shy before him, and I was feeling really small beneath his deep
and sharp gaze. He started to make his way towards me after a few more seconds and I felt the smile
slowly slide off my face, just as my stomach started to tighten up really more in that particr moment.
I pushed myself to my feet and closed the rest of the distance between us, staring up at him and
digging my lower lip into my teeth as I tried desperately to ignore the heat in my stomach as I ced
my hands lightly on his suit jacket.
“Hi Luca.” I whispered in a low voice, feeling a smile threatening to split out on my face in the next
second.
“How are you, bunny?” He mumbled out in a low voice and I felt a small shudder run down my spine at
that particr moment.
I flush red in embarrassment for a few seconds before starting to speak. “I’m good, and excited.” I
murmured to him, bouncing on my legs a little.
“You are?” He asked and I nodded my head instantly, feeling my hair fall into my face almost
immediately.
“I got the order you sent… and um, the gifts…” I trailed off and ducked my head a little as I felt color
rush into my cheeks.
“You did?” He asked and I felt his hand start to creep around my waist almost immediately, feeling him
pull my body against his hard one, and emitting a small shudder to slide down my body.
I nced up at him after a few seconds to nod my head a few times before starting to speak. “I did. I
had no idea you always listen to me each time I talk.” I was confused and blinked a couple of times
when I felt it start to sting.
His other hand slid up my back to dig into my hair, with his first hand tightened on my waist.
“Why would you think that?” He asked in a voice that sounded genuinely surprised and I shrugged a
little, feeling his eyes prince into mine due to how intense his stare was at the moment.
“Um, I just felt that you’d be way too busy to actually listen to me and still keep whatever it is that I say,
in your head.” I paused and swallowed emptily before continuing. “When I spoke to you about those
books yesterday, I most definitely didn’t expect you to actually do a thing about it- even though you said
everything was going to be alright.”
I sniffed a little, feeling my eyes start to sting once again as my heart raced really fast, my heart was
currently racing fast to the extent that it was vibrating to the sides of my chest, I also felt it start to
overfill with so many emotions all at once.
“And you also remembered to get the wine as well.” I paused and blinked a couple of times before
continuing.
“You also decided to get me a huge teddy…” I trailed off as I felt a tear slip out from my left eye to slide
down my cheek, and I allowed my eyes to slide close in that particr moment as I tried to catch my
breath and get my breathing pattern under a little bit of control.
“I also saw the little letter inside the pocket of the teddy, thanks for taking me out to the restaurant as
well.” I continued after a few seconds, feeling my heart start to skip at that particr moment as I
remembered the little note I had seen inside the sides of the pocket. It was in a cute little envelope and
there had been a lot of cuter little hearts over all the parts of the card. I had opened the card instantly
and that was where I saw the note, and it was basically just him thanking me for going to dinner with
him.
He reached up with his hand which had been wrapped around my waist before, and he reached for my
face and cupped my face in his wide hands. His hand was warm and soft as it pressed into the side of
my cheek, making me start to tremble a little. His thumb wiped over the stray tear that had slipped out
of my left eye in that particr moment before he finally started to speak.
“Don’t ever think I wouldn’t listen to you when you talk to me.” Luca started to speak in a low bit fierce
voice, and I shivered a little as I had no other choice than to stare up at him since his hand at the side
of my face was holding my face firmly in his grip.
I swallowed emptily without saying a thing and after a few moments had passed by, he decided to
continue to speak.
“How could I not listen to you when you speak? I love listening to you talk. You’re so mesmerizing and
you have no idea of how much I love listening to you speak. I could listen to you speak throughout a
whole day without getting bored, and I can never listen to you speak without keeping what it is that you
have talked about, inside my head.” He continued and I I felt my eyes start to sting once again, as soon
as his whole words had sank into my head, making my heartstrings start to tug
towards a lot of directions all at once.
