She cuddles close to his side as Eddie awakens before Luca. Things are convenient with Luca. She had known him for a long time. He is her closest pal. Eddie shuts her eyes while keeping an ear out for Luca's heartbeat.
"Eddie." Eddison blushes as Luca mumbles while sleeping. "I. I.." To get Luca to wake up, Eddie gently rocks him.
Luca's sleepwalking hasn't stopped. The majority of it is unclear until "Eddie. I cherish you.
When Eddison freezes, all attempts to rouse him up fail. She feels as though she could faint as her breath becomes laboured.
Does he adore me?
Maria bursts in furious as the bedroom door swings open unexpectedly. By his ear, Maria lifts her kid off the bed.
"SHIT!" Luca screams, which is met with a blow to the back of his skull.
HOW DARE YOU FORCE YOURSELF INTO EDDISON'S BED, LUCIANO MORRETI! You're my child, a damn shame to put on clothes.
Mama, I hate you. Maria turns to follow Luca as he exits the room. Maria responds to Eddie's summons by turning to face Eddison.
"I'm to blame. Do not lash out at Luca. I required assistance.
I didn't consider it. It won't occur again. Eddie glances at her hands below.
"My son is wiser," I said. But he loves you, and you are his weakness, Maria replies severely. Do not mistreat that cara.
Eddie is even more perplexed once Maria exits the room.
Does he truly care about me?
*****
The question "Did you tell her?" As soon as his brother enters the room, Marc asks. With a sigh of despair, Luca exhales.
"I did, but I don't think she heard me." Luca responds, "I believe she dozed out. In any case, it is for the best. Parker is with her. After getting ready, Luca goes downstairs where he finds Eddie assisting his mother in the kitchen. She is dressed in a v-neck sweater and tight, ass-hugging thin pants. Eddie and Maria are busy cleaning the kitchen while an apron hides the v in the sweater.
As her kid walks in, Maria gives him a frown. Before giving Eddie a straight nod with her head. Ma requests an apology from me. He ruminates in his head.
"Eddie, could I have a quick word with you?" Luca extends his hand and asks. Eddie nods, and she takes his hand in hers after wiping it on her apron. Luca seizes the chance to pull her into the living room with him. He wonders if she experiences the same sparks as he does merely by touching her hand. "I'd like to apologize....
"What for?"
I ought to have departed last night when you were fast asleep. For, it was incorrect.
"Luke. I invited you to visit. Mom, I told you that.
So we're OK, right?
"Sure," you say. Eddie pulls him into an embrace while standing on her toes and wrapping her arms over his neck. At the action, Luca grinned. You made a humorous comment in your sleep this morning, I see.
Luca tenses up. How did he say it? "Really?" Trying to seem casual, he says. What was it, exactly?
Her phone begins ringing before Eddie can answer it. Luca takes the phone out of her pocket and Eddie apologizes to her.
Eddie holds the phone to Luca's ear, and she sees Parker's name flash across the screen. His hands clench into fists as soon as he hears her cheerfully greet him. Luca enters the kitchen again after stopping to listen.
Luca reveals that his mother is on the phone as she looks up and prepares to see Eddie.
"When will you tell her?" His mother inquires in shaky English, a thick accent clearly audible.
"Tell her what, Ma?"
Oh you fool! You must confess your love to her.
How did you find that out?
I'm your mother.
As his brother and father go into the kitchen, Luca laughs at his mother. When Eddie steps in and pushes her phone into her pocket, the two are having a disagreement about the family company.
Maria, I'm sorry. Can...I." Eddie says, "Oh I wasn't much help at all," as he surveys the spread of food.
"Foolish cara! All of you sit now!"
The five eat a big meal after Luca's father says grace.Sausage, eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast, waffles, pancakes, and pretty much every other breakfast item imaginable are all on the table. Eddie can't help but chuckle as the brothers pile their food high on their plates. As she chops into her bacon, Luca chuckles incoherently at Eddie as she stands next to him. The chuckles stop as he puts his hand on her thigh. Eddie makes a point of denying that he is her boyfriend despite the fact that he is aware that she is dating Parker. Luca dreams that Eddie could choose him instead. Up her thigh, Luca runs his hand. Between her legs, his fingers were resting. Eddie is thankful for the covering of denim that keeps his touch away from her flesh because he fears she could catch fire.
Where are you heading today, then? Unaware of the route Luca's hand is travelling, Marc inquires.
"Horseback riding. Park in Central. Eddie catches her meal in her throat as Luca responds. "Cara..." Luca gives Eddison a pat on the back till her breathing returns to normal.
After the group of five has finished dining, Eddie goes upstairs to get her jacket.
Christmas was approaching, and it was growing chilly. Eddie discovers Luca waiting for her in the foyer. When he sees her, he beams. As the two of them move toward the metro, he takes her hand.
Eddie catches Luca by the wrist as they enter Central Park.
You detest taking carriage trips, Luke. She says while sporting a perplexed expression.
But you love them. Lifting her into the carriage, Luca responds.
After a little period of quiet between the two, Luca turns to Eddie.
Do you really care about Parker?
Eddie doesn't know how to reply. She has been considering Parker a lot lately. In actuality, no. She wasn't sincere about Parker, and if she stated she was even attracted to him, she would be lying. On him, it was unfair. She was aware of that. She had to let him know.
"I'm not sure," She says while shrugging.
"What did I say this morning in my sleep, Ed?"
Eddie exhales heavily. You claimed to love me, you said. She speaks softly. "But you were asleep, so -"
"I do love you, Eddie." Luca claims he cut her off. Eddie rebuffs his attempt to kiss her.
"Luca We can't, I... Continually with Parker. To him, this is unfair.
"Do you love me, Eddie?" Eddie's breathing stops when Luca asks.
Luca beams as she stutters, "Y-Yes." The two continue to enjoy the trip together as he encircles her shoulders.
