I quickly move towards the cubicle where I placed it. A broad smile broke out on my face reading the name and I answered it.

"I knew it that you were in love with me! My favorite person on Earth I love to annoy finally called me!" I said loudly still smiling.

"What the fuck Valentina!?" Luciano snapped angrily looking at me.

Oops.

"Wow. Is it Luciano?" Ivan chuckled.

"Yeah...just some guy here..." I grinned turning away from Luciano.

I swear this is the last time I'm teasing him. He is such a great guy, I really like him.

"Why do you like to get yourself in trouble!?" Ivan asked as I feel my phone being taken away from me by a very angry Luciano.

"Just some guy?!" He said with gritted teeth holding my other arm.

"Calm down. I'm trying to make that guy love me so I can't tell him about you!" I muttered taking my phone out of his hand.

Fuck!

I cant believe I said all of that without laughing or even smiling.

I think I should try to become an actress. I'm so good at it.

Angelo and Lorenzo's loud laughs broke me out of my thoughts. I completely forgot Ivan on the call. Luciano is standing there with clenched fists and jaw glaring at the phone in my hand.

He is so cute.

"Sorry for the rude interruption...so how are you?" I smiled and saw Luciano angrily walk out of the room without giving me a glance while Angelo and Lorenzo looked kind of shocked.

My baby got mad.

What else do you expect stupid bitch!?

"I'm doing just fine. How are you holding up? Luciano told me about the cameras." He said making me sigh.

"Well it's fine really. Everything is settled now. Don't worry about it. How's Serena and Leo? Did you think about moving back?" The twin's eyes widened for the second time making me shake my head in amusement.

"Its Ivan!?" They both yelled.

"Mom misses you all as usual. Dad is okay and we are still thinking about moving...I see you have the idiots of the family there too." He chuckled making me laugh.

"Yeah well they never leave us alone."  I glared at them playfully making them roll their eyes at me.

"I'm going to come to New York tomorrow. I need to talk to you." He said getting serious.

"That's great Ivy. What is it about though?" I asked confused.

"I'll tell you when we meet. You'll be home tomorrow morning I think?"

"Yeah if your brother doesn't kick me out tonight." I laughed.

"He won't. He loves you." He said softly.

"No I don't think so."

"I know my brother Valentina. I pity him sometimes that he fell for the most annoying person on this planet!" He joked hopefully making me laugh.

"Hey! I'm a lovely woman and your brother is the luckiest man on this planet to have me!" I retorted making Angelo and Lorenzo scoff as I glared at them.

"Where is Luciano? I'm sure he will agree with me." He chuckled.

"He walked out of here angrily and I think I should go to him now. See you tomorrow." I smiled even though he can't see me.

"Yeah. Bye!" He said hanging up.

I really like Ivan. He is a really calm and composed person you would want to talk to and let's not forget the mysterious vibes he has around him.

"You're really brave to make Luciano that mad and still chill as if its nothing." Lorenzo smirked while Angelo looked amused.

"It is nothing though. He knows I won't cheat on him. He is just mad because I teased him." I grinned.

"How do you know that?" Angelo asked.

"I don't know." I shrugged walking towards the cubicle and taking the gun.

"Wow. Aren't you a know it all?" Lorenzo said sarcastically.

I try to stand in the posture Luciano taught and put my finger around the trigger. Taking a deep breath I pull the trigger as a loud sound is heard and I see the bullet hitting the target's body somewhere on the hand region.

Wow. I'm pathetic.

I'm going to die like this.

"Not bad for your first time." Lorenzo said standing on my right side.

"Why am I not provided with the ear and eye protection like the others used when I entered?" I questioned putting the gun down.

I cant handle more than that for now. Call me a little scared girl or whatever. I don't care. This is not my scene.

"You don't have time." Angelo muttered from my left side in a serious tone staring straight ahead at the targets.

I know.

"And there will be no protection in the real life scenario. Luciano is really sweet with you and all but when it comes to his Queen...Trust me, he won't go easy on you. He will train you just the way he did. He wont let you sit around and put you somewhere safe. He would want his Queen to fight and protect everyone with him." Lorenzo said in a firm tone showing how serious both of them are.

Thats good because I dont want to feel like a damsel waiting for someone to protect her anyway.

"I get it. I think I should go and talk to him now. He looked pretty mad." I grinned at both of them as they rolled their eyes at me.

I quickly walked out of the basement into the elevator. This is probably the first time I'm roaming around on his floor without him.

I open the door to his living room and don't see him there but I do see his tall  figure in the balcony standing with his hands on the railing.

I slowly make my way towards him without any noise  even though he can't see me as his back is towards me.

"You love making me jealous?" I stopped as soon as I heard him speaking.

He didn't even turn! I stare at his back wide eyed while standing by the balcony doors.

Does he have eyes on the back of his head or something?

"I asked a question." He stated turning his head a little to the left.

I moved and stood beside him just the way he was standing and smiled at him.

"I do." I smiled a challenging smile.

"I see." He stared at me with an intense look making me sigh still with a smile.

"You don't look mad." I remarked as I remembered him walking out angrily a few minutes ago.

Suddenly, I was roughly pulled towards him as his arms wrapped around my waist tightly and I had to hold his arms for support as I had to lean back to look at his face and if I leaned more, I would just fall off the balcony. I think he wont let me fall though.

"Ohh I'm mad sweetheart." He whispered in my ear making goosebumps to arise as I felt his warm breath on my neck.

"You don't have to be though." I whispered back, my hands moving to hold his face.

"Why?" He asked kissing my neck.

"Cuz I'm in love with you ! " I blurted out shocked with myself and felt him stiffen against my neck.

He slowly looked up with wide eyes and slightly parted mouth as a I felt myself  blushing. I'm so embarrassing.

"I know its too soon and we have been on just one date and only known each other for two months but I do and you're worth it. You're going to be worth everything Luciano. I've never felt this sense of belonging with anyone but you. You make me feel home. You respect me and my decisions. You've been understanding since the beginning. I love you. I care about you and everything related to you and I dont think I ever told you this but thank you. For being here when I need you the most. Thanks for being there even though you know anything can happen." I said still holding his face as a tear slipped out of my eye in happiness.

I cant express my true feelings without tears in my eyes. That's just how I've been since I was a kid because I'm not really the person who expresses her feelings often.

He stared at me intensely and to my utter surprise, I found his eyes wet as he blinked looking away.

"I love you too baby. Nobody has ever made me feel this way. Fuck! I was just about to cry in happiness. I can't believe what my life would've been like if you weren't there. And even i know this is too soon but Valentina...Will you be my girlfriend?" He whispered the last part leaving my waist and holding my face with both hands.

Did he just said that he loves me back!? Fucking hell he does!

His girlfriend?!

I seriously thought that I would be the one asking that question.

"You don't wanna be my girlfriend?" He asked a bit sad and shocked.

"Huh? When did I say that!?" I chuckled shaking my head at him.

"You didn't answer so..."

"Of course I will be your girlfriend! Damn! You dont even have to ask baby!" I answered smiling brightly jumping and hugging him.

Can you believe that!?

We are really together now!

Like together together.

"I love you Valentina." He murmured staring into my eyes.

"I love you too." I whispered as he took me in his arms and carried me to his bedroom.

I'm in love with him!

Its really happening.
