Chapter 141
Luca’s POV
I pushed the door closed behind me as soon as I had made my way into the house and I pulled the
door shut, as I pushed my way away from the door and started to make my way deeper into the house.
I paused at the middle of the hallway and toed off my shoes, before moving the shoes to the side of the
hallway, and continuing my walk down the hallway. I paused outside the entrance of the sitting room
and stared into it, and my eyes landed on Sofia almost immediately.
I felt my mouth dry up slowly, and my throat bobbed on an empty swallow motion, and I stared into the
back of her head intently, wondering why I had been so eager to see her tonight.
Granted, she had managed to crawl her way into my head, and coupled with what had happened
between us last night, which had led to her falling asleep in my arms.
One of those reasons was most definitely worry, which was completely and totally understandable…
the other reason, wasn’t really understandable to me.
It was almost frightening, because I had wanted to return home late to her a week ago, and today, I
found myself thinking about her a lot and wanting to come home to her eagerly.
A sensible person would make his way into the house without pausing to make his appearance known
to her, or even think of walking into the sitting room to sit with her and have a conversation with her.
But then, I didn’t think I was a smart person at this very moment, because after a few more moments of
me still standing in the spot where I had been for a few minutes now, I started to make my way into the
sitting room. She whipped her head around almost immediately I had started to make my way into the
sitting room, probably in curiosity or fright as soon as she had heard the sound of my footsteps.
Her eyes had landed on me immediately, and I watched as her lips, which had been parted in fright,
slid close instantly, as well as color flooding her cheeks immediately. I walked forward into the room,
with my eyes locked with hers and my hands now shoved in my pockets.
I walked around the couch she was sitting on, it was a three seater couch and she immediately slid her
feet off the couch, sitting up in a sitting position instantly. I hesitated for a few moments, wondering if I
wasn’t being all up over her like this, as I slowly sank into the three seater couch. I felt her stiffen even
more beside me, and I glanced at her to find her staring down at her wrinkling fingers on her thighs. My
eyes landed on the exposed skin of her thighs, courtesy of her small skirt riding high up on her tights,
and I felt my throat dry up even more, as my eyes drank in how smooth and creamy and delicate those
exposed skin looked.
I dragged my gaze away from her thighs and focused it on her face, to see her cheeks flushed red in
embarrassment, as she stared down pointedly at her fingers, refusing to stare up at me, or give any
sign that I was sitting down beside her.
“Sofia,” I breathed out in a low voice, to avoid starting her up or catching her unaware, and I watched
as she jolted on her spot on the couch in response to my voice, before she was slowly raising her head
up to stare at me, or at my throat, because her eyes still haven’t managed to reach my face.
She was the cutest thing. I thought to myself as I continued to speak after a few moments, and it was
obvious that she wasn’t going to be saying a thing in reply.
“How are you?” I inquired and stared down at her, watching as her fingers kept tangling with
themselves on her thighs, with her teeth worrying her lower lips continuously.
“Uh, I’m good?” I replied after a few moments, and her reply had skipped out in a small, unsure voice,
making the reply come out in a questioning tone, and it made me chuckle a little.
To think I had found it annoying that she couldn’t hold a conversation with me at first, as soon as I had
gotten married to her.
Because it was literally the cutest thing.
“You’re good, right?” I rephrased on her behalf and watched as she ducked her head a little, before
giving a couple of jerky nods.
I shook my head a little as I stared at the amount of space between us wearily, wondering if she was
going to react in a really unexpected way if I attempt to shorten the distance between us by shifting on
the couch until I was sitting closer to her, than I was at the moment. I reached my hand out and moved
it under her jaw, to tug her face up effortlessly, and the effort in which ehe made to avoid my gaze
before finally locking gazes with mine, made me let a small chuckle slip out.
“What did you do today?” I asked and watched as she blinked at me confusingly, and I started to
rephrase almost instantly. “How did you spend the whole of today?” I rephrased and watched as she
parted her lips and snapped it close only to open it a little, after a few seconds.
Her fingers were still tangling with themselves on her thighs, and I hated how obviously nervous and
wither up she was at the moment, because she most definitely hadn’t been this worked up, when she Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
had been alone in here, just watching some things on the television, before she had noticed my
appearance, and everything had become tense in her instantly.
“Oh, uh…” She started to speak and trailed off, her eyes moving around other spots on my face, before
settling back on my eyes, as she continued. “I uh, I painted?”
“You painted?” I asked and watched as she gave a tiny nod of her head instantly, and then I decided to
continue the conversation.
“How was it?”
“Uh, it was a bit hard at first, and it hadn’t been all that easy, as I had expected it to be, but then I had
ended up almost getting a hang of it, so uh, I guess it’s a good thing.” She continued to explain, and I
noticed that her fingers had stopped moving after some seconds, as soon as she had started to talk
about her painting.
Seemed like that was really helping.
“Sounds like a really good day for you.” I murmured and I watched as she raised her left shoulder up a
little, and my eyes got drawn to that tiny movement. She was in a sleeveless top, and her shoulders
were uncovered, making it stand out against the color of her shirt.
“What are you watching?” I asked as I released my hold on her jaw and watched as she quickly moved
backwards, right before she turned her head around to stare straight ahead at the television. I stared at
the television as well, and I started to wonder how I hadn’t noticed that a song video had been playing
on it, as I had made my way into the sitting room, moments ago.
Perhaps, all my focus had completely been on Sofia to have noticed that.
The song playing currently was a really unknown one to me, I almost never listen to today’s music, all I
listen to are classics and some RnB, so I had no idea of the song that was currently playing. Although
the video which was currently playing looked really intriguing.
A girl was grinding over a guy who was sitting on a bed, and I watched as the dude squeezed the girl’s
ass for a few moments, while rapping throughout. I turned around to stare at Sofia and grinned on how
her face had managed to grow even redder, coupled with the fact that she wasn’t staring at the
television anymore, and was once again back to staring down at her fingers, which were back to
tangling together, on her thighs.
“Oh, this is the type of music you enjoy?” I started to speak, all because I wanted to tease her and
watch her sink deeper and deeper into embarrassment.
“Uh, no– no… I had just left the channel here and other songs and videos had been playing, and then
suddenly, this came up and…” I stared as she started to explain herself to me instantly, and she hasn’t
managed to stumble on her words this time, although she had managed to trail off at the end.
“Mhhm,” I murmured as I focused my eyes back on the television, cringing at the way the rapper was
rapping as well as smoking and doing some other illegal shit right there on television.
We fell into a mood of silence after a few minutes and it was comfortable on my own side, although I
had no idea if it was comfortable on her own side as well.
