♥ Chapter 12♥

Luan Moretti.

Like me, Lucas doesn't feel comfortable being himself with anyone else. Only between the two of us is there a safe space to express what we really feel.

I watch as he runs his finger over Enzo's photo, as if trying to feel some connection through the paper.

''What do you want, brother?'' I ask, seeing the seriousness on his face.

Lucas sighs deeply, looking away.

''This boy… he's definitely going to be bold with us.'' He looks at me with a twinkle in his eye. ''I want him for us. I feel like he was made for both of us.

I agree in silence, reflecting on what he's said. Furthermore, I also feel that Enzo is different, as if something about him was specially made for us.

'' I see you've approved the idea. '' Our father's firm voice interrupts my thoughts.

''Yes.'' We answered together, without hesitation.

I smile, and Lucas looks at me with complicity.

''He's going to be ours, Dad,'' Lucas says with conviction.

''Yes, he'll be ours.'' I agree, still looking at Enzo's photo. ''I'm looking forward to meeting the future, Mr. Moretti. '' We laugh together, and our parents just shake their heads in a mixture of disapproval and amusement.

Three days later.

''Is it time to meet our future husband yet?'' I ask Lucas, who has just picked up his cell phone after receiving a message.

''Yes, our father has just texted us that they've arrived.'' He nods in confirmation.

We get up and start getting ready to leave the place. Fred, Carlos, and Jennifer come towards us.

''Hi, guys.'' Jennifer greets us with a mischievous smile, her eyes fixed on me.

''Hi. '' We replied together, without showing much excitement. ''We have to go home now.'' And we continued talking at the same time.

We always liked to talk like this, completing each other's sentences. It was something of ours—a way of showing that we were always on the same page.

'' Can we go with you? '' Jennifer asks with that tone that always irritates me. I hold back the urge to roll my eyes.

''Sure, feel free to go. '' I reply, trying not to sound rude.

We leave the bar and get into the car. They follow right behind in their vehicle.

''Did Dad really do what he said he would? '' I ask, curious.

''I don't know, we'll find out when we get there.'' Lucas replies with the same glint of expectation in his eyes.

Our father mentioned that he would make Enzo sleep in the same room as us. The thought makes me smile with anticipation.

After a few minutes, we arrive home.

We all walk into the living room, and I see our family gathered together.

''Where is he?'' I ask, unable to hide my curiosity. I want to see Enzo as soon as possible.

'' They're all upstairs, getting organized. They'll be right down.'' My father explains, glancing briefly at the trio behind us.

''Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Moretti. '' Jennifer says hello, wearing a smile that I know is fake.

My parents know that she has an interest in me and perhaps even hopes of marrying me. Little does she know that I hate her. I only stayed with her that night because I was drunk.

'' Hello, Jennifer. '' My mother replies, also with a polite but clearly forced smile.

Suddenly, we hear footsteps on the stairs, and I see five people coming down.

'' Ah, Dante, Elijah, these are my sons, Luan and Lucas. '' My father introduces us to our future in-laws.

''Nice to meet you, gentlemen. '' We say together, in unison.

''It's our pleasure.'' Dante and Elijah also reply at the same time, which makes us smile.

“This is Melissa, their wife.” Our father points to the woman next to Elijah.

''Nice to meet you, ma'am.'' We spoke once again in unison, making Melissa smile.

''The pleasure is all mine, dears. '' She replied with a nod.

'' And here next to Melissa are Alex and his husband, Klaus. '' introduces Elijah, indicating the couple.

''It's a pleasure to meet you, boys. '' Alex says, and we nod, smiling.

''The pleasure is all ours.'' We replied together again.

''I'm going to call Enzo,'' Klaus warns, heading back up the stairs, followed by Alex.

I look at Lucas, both of us eager to finally meet our future husband.

''How old are you guys?'' Melissa asks, curious.

''We're twenty, we'll be twenty-one in two days. '' We answered in chorus.

“The party venue is already being prepared,” our father comments, looking proud of the preparations.

I feel a chill in my stomach at the thought of what's to come. My gaze turns to the stairs, anxiously awaiting Enzo's arrival. It's as if, in some way, this moment will define the future for all of us.

“The party venue is already being prepared,” our father comments, showing pride in the preparations.

I feel a chill in my stomach as I imagine what is to come. My gaze turns to the stairs, waiting to see Enzo finally arrive. I feel that this moment has the potential to define the future for all of us.

'' Ah, yes,'' Elijah nods.

Soon, Klaus will return.

''He's getting organized. He'll be here soon,'' says Klaus. We nod in response.

While they talk, Lucas and I can hardly contain our eagerness to meet Enzo.
