Chapter 15 - CHAPTER FIFTEEN - Will You Sleep Next to Me?

Parker didn't think it was cool that Luca had purchased Eddie such a pricey present. Eddie was aware of his anger, but she tried to make him feel better and made a promise to contact him before she went to bed.

Eddie and Luca locate Marc's building on Wall Street.

The first person to see them was Marc, who was on his way to the metro.

"EDDISON!" Eddie and Luca are prompted to look for the source of his voice as he calls to her. As Eddie's eyes catch Marc's and she dashes in his direction, it's like a scene from a vintage film. Luca feels envious of his brother's friendship with Eddison, but things have always been that way between them.

Eddie encircles Marc's neck with her arms, and he raises her off the ground.

"Why are you working on Saturday?" I was astonished when your mother informed us, Se says.

There is no rest for the evil Bella. How come you're in New York?

Parker was preoccupied with his studies when Luca decided that we needed a weekend road trip.

Parker is brought up, and Mare turns to his brother for a response.

The only time Luca smiles is when Eddie turns to look at him.

Luca grabs her waist with an arm and pulls Eddie away from his brother. As soon as Luca has Eddie in his grasp, all recollections of Parker vanish.

The fragrance of roasted garlic greets the trio as they enter the Morreti home in Queens after taking the train home.

"Mama, Sienna is coming to dinner." Mare makes a phone call to his mother in the living room. Eddie strikes him in the abdomen.

So everything is going fine, huh?

She smiles when Eddie spots Mark blushing.

The statement "I like her." He shrugs in response.

"Have you told her?" Luca asks queries.

"Yup," Marc answers. She had to be aware.

Eddie answers the door and finds Sienna Romano as Maria invites the brothers in to arrange the dinner.

"Eddie!"

"How are you doing, Sienna?"

I'm doing fantastic, thanks. Sienna responds, luring Eddie in for an embrace, "Marc didn't mention you'd be here.

"Luca and I decided to go on a last-minute road trip to fill our weekend."

Are you two together...?

Eddie instantly responds, "No, Luca would never see me that way. We are just friends."

Eddie is unaware, but As he exits the kitchen, Luca hears her. We are just friends, she murmured, and Luca could tell that she was depressed.

"Ladies, the dinner is ready." Luca says as he introduces himself. Do you mind if I temporarily take Eddie, Sienna?

"Definitely not." The two are left alone in the living room by Sienna.

The question "What's up?" Eddie enquires while beaming. Luca approaches her and removes the Tiffany pendant from behind her collar. His fingers leave a searing, tingling path as they brush Eddie's flesh when he lifts it.

"Thank you." Luca claims to have combed some of Eddie's hair behind

"What for?"

I'm bringing you. I am aware that you prefer Parker, however. I'm delighted you came, to be honest.

Luke, are you alright?

Why do you inquire?

Well, I've lived with you for over three years, and I've never noticed you trembling. Taking his hand, Eddie says. «Explain the issue to me.

"Nothing, Cara, I'm fine."

That is false. Eddie sighs. "You know that you can tell me anything, right?"

As his mother summons them into the dining room, Luca nods in agreement. Before going inside, Eddie gives him a cheek kiss. Luca lets out the air he had been holding as she leaves the room and shakes his head, saying, "I'm not sure if I can tell you this, Ed.

....

"What other areas did you research today?" Asks Parker. Even though they have only been speaking for twenty minutes, the conversation feels strained and unpleasant. They aren't on FaceTime, which she praises God for.

"Mostly Wall Street and Fifth Avenue. Tomorrow, we'll probably visit Time Square and Central Park. Luca despises touristic locations, but I must always take a carriage ride.

"How much did he spend on that necklace for you?" Eddie recoils at the question because she recognizes how sensitive it is. There was nothing she could do to stop Luca, even if the necklace cost about $200 more than she would ever even consider spending on one item.

"Parker, it makes no difference. Simply said, it is my early Christmas present.

The question is, "What did he buy his girlfriend?"

"After dinner that night, Luca broke up with Kate."

"Really?"

That's what he told me, yes. Look, Parker, I'm a little worn out. I'm exhausted after four hours in the drive, exploring New York, and a hefty home-cooked lunch. Should I call you tomorrow?

Naturally, darling. Sweet dreams are lovely.

"Goodnight."

After hanging up, Eddie sets the phone down on the nightstand. She wonders after an unpleasant talk with Parker. Despite the fact that they both major in the same area, he always studies alone. She isn't prepared to offer him more, even if he wants it.

Why? If Eddie is being completely honest, she doesn't find Parker attractive.

He is the obvious pick, yet there isn't any allure in him. Eddie sighs and places her head on her pillow. She's dozing off in Luca's bed. His cradle mattress.

She hastily gets her phone and starts to type a message.

10.34 p.m. in Edison You're alert?

10.36 p.m. LUCIANO: Yes.

10.36 p.m. EDDISON Visit me in my room?

LUCIANO

10.37 p.m.: I believe you meant my bedroom!

10.37 pm EDDISON: LUKE!

"Yes?" Eddie sits bolt upright with her phone falling into the bed next to her as Luca pulls through the door.

"Hey." She signals for Luca to sit by patting the bed. His gaze is fixated on her as he reclines on the bed.

"Hi. Why is that?

Will you join me in bed? Eddie poses a quiet question, not quite as certain as she had imagined.

"And have Ma cut off my balls?"

"Please, Luciano."

Ah, I appreciate it when you use my complete name. Luca sighs. Okay, move aside. Eddie pulls down the sheets and makes room for Luca before lying down next to her. I had forgotten how comfortable this bed is. Eddie swivels around to face Luca as he sighs.

"Your mother stopped earlier when you were about to tell me what's going on.

"Mmm?"

Say, "Tell me." Luca writhes as Eddie prods his side.

"Cara, don't let the beast get up. I'll be confident enough to tickle you.

"I wish to assist Luke. You're my closest pal. Eddie mutters, and Luca beams. Eddie is encircled by his arm as he lifts her up onto his chest. Instead of attempting to force herself off, Parker was recalled. Eddie cuddles up next to Luca. Luca gives Eddie a smack on the back and kisses her in the hair. As soon as Luca watches Eddie nodding off, he gives her hair another kiss.

Luca exhales after a short while.

"Eddison Jenkins, I love you.
