“Amara passed your message” Luciano immediately Flavia walked in.
As usual, Flavia was looking hot in her tight red dress and black heels. Her blonde hair was packed in a high ponytail, her coat over her shoulders, and her bag and phone in her hands as usual.
Elegantly, she walked up to him and stood in front of him. Her eyes room round the room like she didn’t like where she was or wasn’t expecting to see somewhere like that.
“You are occupying space, Flavia” Lu remarked.
Her face went red in embarrassment as she cleared her throat, walked to him and took the space beside him on the couch. Slowly, she opened her pause and brought out a small card then pass it to Lu who hesitated before taking it.
“Time flies” Flavia tried to start a conversation “Almost like yesterday was January when I came to your office” she added.
“V. V. I. P??” Lu read what he saw on the card “I thought you said three months?” He sounds confused.
Flavia rolled her eyes and scoffed, she placed her purse and phone on her laps and sighed.
“The white party is always on the first of January remember?” She moved her face closer “I came to the company the second week of January now it’s March” she bent her lips.
“I know all that” Lu said dryly, he stood up and began to walk round the room.
He wrists were crossed together behind him as he watched his legs, it was like he was taking his baby steps and watching him self. He looked up at Flavia who had her beautiful eyes fixed at her. Her fingers were interlocked together as she crossed her long legs with her purse still on her thighs.
Flavia attempt to stand up and walked to Lu but with the sudden movement of his index finger behind him, she sat back. She damped her eyes dramatically as she she was crying invisible tears.
“I told my husband about you and Amara” Flavia said.
“None of my business” Lu replied in a rude snap “Amara said you also gave her the VVIP card with your sonnnnnn” He stresses the last word “She said he is such a cute boy”
“His name is Luciano too” Flavia gave a girlish giggle “That was why I even ended up with his wonderful father” she smiled.
She went about, jumping into details of how she was at the airport going out of Italy because of Luciano and and meet the little boy. He got lost, was looking for his father and bumped into her.
The Little boy said she looked so beautiful as his late mother and that was where she fell in love with the boy. She delayed and missed her flight so she could meet with the boy’s father and tell him how cute his son is.
As fate would have it, she fell for the elegant man that has raised the little boy to be a fine gently man. Like a morden Cinderella story, she followed prince charming home and in the next few days, she would be his official wife with his tiny baby inside of her.
“He wants to thank you for giving me to him but I don’t want him dead now” Flavia looked away from Lu’s stern and confused “Dont give me that look, we both know what you can do” she added.
If Lu had wanted to say something before, he didn’t. He just opened and closed his mouth back without saying anything and fold his arms across his broad chest. His lazy eyes were glued to hers as she picked at her perfectly polished nails trying to keep her eyes busy rather than staring back into the devils eyes.
Lu still didn’t day anything. He just kept quiet and didn’t blink for once, it was like he was monitoring her ever move. His face as like steel, clueless! No sign of emotion at all, not even his something stern face.
It was almost like he wasn’t happy over her presence much more of the news she brought. He blink once or twice, putting the words together in his head before he smacked his lips and smiled genuinely.
“You deserve the best, Flavia” Luciano moved close to her “I will come ”
Flavia saw speechless, her mouth was left open for while without her notice. She stood up to meet and take his palms that he placed in front of her.
“I don’t understand you” She said.
For a man like Lu, she knew what he can do. He had never been nice to her much more telling her what he just said.
She was expecting him to be angry and yell at her for seeing Amara. He didn’t seem bother or always in am hurry to leave to make her live as before and the last time they meet.
He even let her touch him and was still hold him for minutes now. They were both staring at each other’s eyes like there was nothing else to do.
“You are a wonderful woman, Flavia” Lu squeezed her palms “I am happy that you are finally happy with prince charming as you had always told me” he paused for a while before leaving her palms.
He moved a bit from from her, brought out the card from the pocket. He looked at it well and smiled up at Flavia’s shocked face.
“I can’t promise to bring Alita” Luciano said sadly “But as for Amara” she smiled “I will even wear her your favorite color” he added.
Flavia blinked once then twice, she couldn’t contain her surprise as all she keot doing was gasps, smile, sniff and gasps again. Her left palm fan her face as she try to dry the tears burning in the stormy eyes.
“What happened?” Flavia whispered “Alita?” She asked as Lu didn’t say anything “I don’t know what she has done to you buy I can say she is the right one for you and you must keep her” she added.
Without thinking, she threw her hands over Lu’s shoulders and filled him into a tight hug.
At first, Lu went rigid. He didn’t move as his hands rested beside him while Flavia hugged life out if him. The only thing he could do was to place his jaw on her head while she sniffed and shock.
Without seeing, Lu knew his shirt would have been stained with tears and make up but he didn’t care. He didn’t say anything, he just let the his ex wife cry as he tried all his possible best to calm her.
For Flavia, it was more like a shocking experience. Something that she wasn’t able to get when she was still his contract wife was what she got free of charge without side request.
She was extremely happy for him and Alita, the good girl that changed the life. If only she could meet Alita again, she would apologize for been a pain in the ass the last time they met and thank her for been such a sweet soul.
Since Flavia knew Lu, no one was able to break him but she pieced him. Alita was like the right hand of Lu that bye never had and that alone wants to make Flavia make her best of friends.
“Please bring Alita to my wedding next week” Flavia said as she pulled away from him “And Amara too” She twisted her fingers and gaze at his now cold face “This would be my last request” She grinned “You know now I love to ask for last request?” She asked Lu rhetorically.
Even as at that, Lu nodded once. He knew he just agreed to something but didn’t want to break Flavia’s heart. He could not tell her about Alita and the harms be had done.
