All Chapters of Can I ride you, Luca?....Craving my best friend’s brother: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Emma's POVI looked right into Luca's dark, sad eyes. My heart was beating so fast."Emma," Luca asked again, his voice cracking a little. "Did you know about this?"I took a deep breath. "Luca, I have no say in this matter.""No say?" Luca asked. He stepped closer to me. "What does that even mean, Emma? Did you know she had these feelings for you?""Yes," I answered very quietly. "I knew."Luca threw his hands up in the air. "Are you kidding me? You knew my sister was in love with you, and you didn't tell me?""Hannah is my best friend, Luca!" I told him, looking up at his face. "She was so scared. You do not expect me to divulge my best friend's biggest secret, do you?""I am your boyfriend!" Luca yelled back. "You should have told me!""It was not my secret to tell!" I yelled back. "It was her secret! She was crying and hurting. I could not just run and tell you. That would make me a terrible friend."Luca shook his head. He looked very angry. He reached into his dark jacket pocket

Emma's POVJeff stepped back from our hug. He had a big, bright smile on his face."I will text you my new number later, Emma," Jeff said happily. "It was so good to see you after all these years.""You too, Jeff," I said. My voice came out as a tiny, scared squeak.Jeff turned around to walk away. He walked right past the heavy glass door of the cafe. He walked right past Luca. Jeff did not even look at Luca's angry face. Jeff just walked straight to the front counter. He started looking at the sweet chocolate cakes in the glass display. He had absolutely no idea who Luca was or why Luca was glaring at him.Luca stood frozen by the door. His jaw was very tight. His big hands were curled into hard fists inside his dark jacket pockets. His eyes were burning right into mine.I knew I had to move fast. I could not let him shout in the middle of the quiet coffee shop.I took three quick steps and stood right in front of him."Luca, please listen to me," I whispered very fast. "Do not be m

Emma's POVThe next day at school went by very fast. The big clock on the white wall showed it was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon. The loud school bell rang. It was time for our study group.Luca walked next to me down the long hallway. He held my hand tightly. His hand felt very warm."Are you ready?" Luca asked me. He looked down at my face."I am a little bit nervous," I told him honestly. "I have never studied with two boys at the same time before.""There is nothing to be nervous about," Luca smiled a small, handsome smile. "We are just going to read our history books and do our math homework.""Okay," I nodded my head. "I will try to be brave."We pushed the heavy wooden doors of the library open. It was very quiet inside. It smelled like old paper, dusty shelves, and fresh lemon soap.We walked past the tall rows of bookshelves. I looked around for my childhood friend."There he is," I whispered to Luca. I pointed my finger toward the very back of the giant room.Jeff w

Emma's POVThe hot pizza finally arrived. It came in a big, square cardboard box.Luca paid the delivery man and brought the heavy box into the bright kitchen. He set it down on the clean counter. He opened the lid. A giant cloud of hot steam floated up into the air. It smelled like rich tomatoes, salty pepperoni, and warm bread."Wow," I whispered. My tummy made another loud, hungry noise."Grab a plate, Emma," Luca smiled. He handed me a white dish.I took a very big slice of the pizza. The hot, gooey cheese stretched very long. I took a giant bite. It was the best pizza in the whole world."This is so yummy," I mumbled with my mouth full.Luca grabbed a slice for himself. He leaned against the counter and took a bite. "You were right. Extra cheese is the best."We ate our first slices very fast. The kitchen was very quiet and warm.I wiped a tiny drop of red sauce off my chin with a soft napkin. I looked at Luca. He was staring out the window, looking at the dark green trees."Luca

Emma's POVThe two weeks of exams started the very next morning. The days began to blur together into one giant, stressful cloud of white papers, heavy textbooks, and dark coffee.On Wednesday afternoon, I walked out of the brick science building after Advanced Biology paper."Emma! Wait up!"I turned my head around. Jeff was running down the stone steps, holding his heavy backpack over his shoulder."Hi, Jeff," I said, stopping by a big green tree. "How was your paper?""It was so hard," Jeff sighed, wiping his forehead. "The questions about the plant cells were exactly what was on that paper I gave you. Did you answer them?""Yes," I nodded my head with a big smile. "I remembered everything you told me. Thank you so much, Jeff. You really saved my life today.""I am so glad," Jeff smiled back happily. "We are going to pass this semester with very high marks.""I hope so," I said. "I have statistics tomorrow morning.""Stats is easy if you study the formulas," Jeff said. "Do you want
