Luciano’s POV

I rang the doorbell twice then waited. She was probably in bed still.

My phone pinged. I took it out while waiting for her to come open the door

Nat: the door’s open

How did she know it was me?

Luke: How’d you know it was me

I pulled the door to her apartment open. I didn’t get a response to the text.

I made my way inside.

“Nat?” I called out as I drop the bags I’m carrying.

I made my way up the stairs to her room. She was probably there.

I pry the door open but she’s not inside. Then I hear the water. She’s taking a shower. I close the door and make my way downstairs.

I open one of the bags and take out the soup and the steamed veggies and put them in the microwave to warm them up.

I hear her delicate footsteps approach.

“Hey.” She greets me

“Hi.” I greet her back.” How’d you know it was me at the door?” I ask her curious.

“I figure you wouldn’t take my word for it. You’re stubborn as hell.” She says while drying her hair with a towel

  • Marry my best friend   Chapter 25: Easier said, Easier done

    Luciano’s POV my parents were much easier to tell that Nat’s mom. They wouldn’t even be shocked. Why is that? You would ask. Easy. They knew from the beginning. My mom watched me spiral after I found out that she went on a date with some guy in high school. I would come home everyday and I would cry. Or the time when she started dating. That was the worst pain I’d ever experienced. Dad thought it was so funny. He would call me a chicken for watching in the side lines and not actually do anything. He would brag about how he never watched mom get snatched by some guy while he just stood there. So when I rang the doorbell to my parent’s townhouse I wasn’t worried about anything. Mom opened the door.“Figlio mio, it’s been a while since you visited, no?” “I know mom. I promise I’ll visit more often” I say to her as a give her a hug. We both enter and she takes my coat. I make my way to the living room. “You have finally decided to grace us with your present your majest

  • Marry my best friend   Chapter 24: The plotting

    We can up with a really great plan to break the news to my mom without it looking suspicious. So right now I was getting ready to go visit her.I called her everyday but today would be the first time I would see her after a little over two months. It would be to tell her the biggest lie of my life. Bigger than when I broke her favourite vase and Luke took the fall. I rarely lied to her so my heart felt heavy Luciano wanted to stay with me until I left but he had to go to a meeting with a shareholders. He could tell I was anxious and honestly if he were here he would be making stupid joke and I would forget all about the lie. Just as I was about to gather my stuff my phone pings. Luke: did you know that cows have best friends. I laughed. Even miles away he still made me laugh. Me: no I did not know that Luke: They even get stressed when separated. Me: I’m stressed right now. I’m having separate anxiety :( Luke: That just means we’re basically emotional livestock s

    Natalie’s POVthe door clicked shut behind me with a soft thud that somehow sounded louder than it should have. the silence in my apartment was a relief. A barrier between me and the chaos that occurred today. I peeled my clothes off and made my way towards the bathroom. I twisted the knob to the left. the pipes groaned in protest before the scalding water blasted from the faucet, steam billowing almost instantly against the glass.I stepped into the shower, and the burning water hit my shoulders like a punishment and comfort at the same time. the sting reminded me that I was still here, still breathing.the heat loosened my muscles, but not my thoughts. My forehead found the cool tile wall, and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.I continued to stay in there for another 15 minutes before stepping out.I decided to put aside the mole who leaked my design for now. I think I can only handle one problem at a time, and right now I need to focus on Luke.for now.I put on som

  • Marry my best friend   Chapter 22: The decision

    Natalie’s POV I sat across Luke in the dimly lit restaurant across my boutique. I figured it would be the perfect spot because today was a busy day for me. He looked rattled. I had already decided that I was going to help him but he didn’t need to know that just yet. “I have come to a conclusion. I don’t- I mean i-“ I stuttered just for effects. He looked like a kid that got told Santa isn’t real and suddenly it wasn’t funny anymore. I hated to see him sad. “I’m just kidding. I’m gonna help you” I said. “What?” He asked shocked “You sound shocked!” I said. “I am” he says with conviction. “Why is that?” I ask because I’m really curious. “I had really crazy thoughts yesterday. I came to the conclusion that I would not really blame you if you said no. As the day went by I really started to realise that this might just really be crazy.” “So we’re not going to do this anymore?” I ask Just to mess with him. “No no no that’s not what I meant I stil-. You’re messing

    Natalie’ POV -later that evening- “Wait are you serious?” Jessie asked me flabbergasted. “As serious as I can be.” I say as I throw the shot in my mouth and quickly reach for the lemon. “He literally said he needed to MARRY me. Emphasise on the MARRY. The board members in his company are diabolical” She laughed so loud she snorted in between. “Girl it is not funny” I said to her. “I know I’m sorry. It’s just that I didn’t expect you to say that to me.” I relayed pretty much everything Luciano told me to Jessica. He never said not to tell anyone. Plus I trusted her with my life. She would never sell me out like that. And God forbid a girl needs some advice from her best friend before making a life altering decision. “Look I say go for it. It won’t cause any harm for you to. You’ll be helping out a friend- a vey hot friend- in need. This is my fangirl talking by the way BUT as your friend I say think about it. Think about how it would benefit you and what are the d
