Undeniably Claimed

Chapter 54:Giving the News

Sophia couldn't help biting her finger to stop herself from the smile that was threatening to split her face in half. Luca's finger rubbing gently in a circular motion on her thigh. She couldn't believe how absolutely perfect she felt in this moment. Her eyes momentarily glancing down at the beautiful ring she was wearing. 

After his proposal, they spent some time touring the house and Luca showed her the dining room where a meal was already placed. She asked him what would have happened if she would have said no. He shrugged before saying it would be covering the walls with broken shards all around. She laughed at him making him smirk at her. Sad part was, she knew he was dead serious. 

They ate talking about when they would transfer their things over. He asked her if she had any thoughts about the wedding and she froze momentarily. She had never thought about this aspect in her future for it seemed to be a absurd. Who would want to be with someone who didn't have a future? That could have killed over at any point. She was pulled out of her thoughts turning to look at Luca who could see the expression on her face and understood. He simply stated that we would take it one step at a time. 

Sophia turned in her seat watching as Luca drove with ease and his lips tilted up in the most serene of smiles. Her own heart melting as realization struck her... She was unbelievably lucky. She leaned over the console kissing his cheek leaving her lips there to linger before pulling back. Luca's hand grasp among her thigh squeezing her. 

It didn't take them long to be pulling up to her sisters house. She told him when they left that she wanted to tell Jess first. He offered to bring her by tonight and she instantly agreed, too excited to tell her. Luca cut the engine before leaning over the console, grasping her chin and turning her face to kiss her tenderly. Sophia's hand weaving its way through his dark tendrils. She whimpered in need but Luca pulled back making her pout. 

"Behave tesoro... We have a lifetime to cherish."

She wanted to be irritated but his words practically made her into putty. He pecked her lightly before swiftly getting out, coming to her side and offering his hand. Sophia smiled brightly amazed that their were still actual gentlemen in this world. He helped her out before leading her to the door arm in arm. Before they could even knock, they heard a familiar voice behind them. Turning around to come face to face with a small brunette. 

"Good evening Boss man," she says with a over exaggerated bow before looking to Sophia. "Mrs. Boss Lady."

Sophia laughed leaving Luca's arm to jog the few steps into the petite girl's arm. "What are you doing here Taylor?"

"I'm here to celebrate," she says holding up the bottle of champagne. Sophia freezes with wide eyes making Taylor give her a confused look. "Because of Brad becoming Sophia's legal guardian."

Sophia's muscles instantly relaxing as she exhales releasing a shaky laugh that sounded weird. Taylor raising a brow at her in question before turning her gaze to Luca who has now come down to greet her as well. 

"Always good to see you Taylor."

"Likewise... Are you guys here for the dinner as well?"

Sophia shares a look with Luca making Taylor continue staring between the pair in question. They turn back both nodding their heads but Taylor doesn't look convinced. Luca interjects her thoughts, "How is Mr. Voltez doing?"

"Darren is doing fine," she says emphasizing his first name. Sophia could see how her smile slightly changed hearing his name in conversation. It was nice to see that Taylor had found someone as well. Luca's arm wrapped around Sophia's waist as Taylor rolled her eyes. "You two, I swear I have never felt more single then when I'm the same room as the pair of you."
