♥Chapter 40♥

Enzo D'Angelo.

''Who are they? '' I ask, suspiciously, looking at the boy next to him.

''They're our college friends, love,'' replies Luan with a casual smile.

''Um... I see,'' I mutter, still staring at the other guy, but something about his presence makes me uncomfortable.

''How about we go dancing, love? '' Luan's sudden suggestion takes me by surprise, my body immediately tenses.

'' To dance? I don't know how to dance, Luan'' I protest, my voice already betraying the nervousness that grows inside me.

''It will be fine, I promise. You don't need to do anything more. We can just cuddle'' he insists, unpretentious.

Before I could argue, Luan stood up and grabbed my hand, pulling me. Lucas, who was next to me, lets me go without resistance, but I feel a pang of insecurity.

''Luan, I really think this isn't a good idea'' my voice shakes slightly, trying to make myself heard.

''It's going to be okay, trust me,'' he says with a confident smile, which only increases my apprehension.

As soon as we reach the dance floor, Luan wraps his arm around my waist, pulling me closer. The feeling of closeness makes me even more nervous, my heart beats faster, confused by being so close to him.

''There's no need to be jealous,'' he whispers in my ear, and I feel a shiver run through my body, making me even more uncomfortable.

''I'm not jealous,'' I respond with a harshness that even I didn't expect, trying to mask what I really feel.

''Why are you not sincere? '' He stares at me, his eyes searching for something in mine, and, as always, I look away, unable to sustain the confrontation. ''We really like you, Enzo. I can be a little perverted, as you say, but only with you. I feel good by your side, I don't need to pretend to be someone else.

Furthermore, I sigh, allowing myself to relax for a moment, and rest my forehead against his, feeling a hint of truth in his words.

''I'm new to this feeling stuff. I'm sorry if I'm rude to you two sometimes. I really don't know how to be kind'' I admit, without looking directly at him, my voice coming out almost like a whisper.

''And that's exactly what we like about you, love,'' responds Luan, her gaze calm and full of affection. ''You don't treat us like the others, who keep running after us and trying to get into our bed. Don't change for us. If you want to change, let it be for you.

Those words hit me in an unexpected way. A smile appears on my lips, and, without thinking much, I kiss. He returns the gesture with more intensity, squeezing my waist and pressing our bodies together in a way that makes me forget my nervousness.

''Be ours, Enzo. Only ours, he murmurs between the kisses, his voice low and enveloping.

I let out a heavy sigh, my heart pounding against my chest. I'm scared, but at the same time, something inside me wants to surrender.

''Yes,'' I respond, almost without thinking, letting the word slip out before I really understand what I'm accepting.

Luan pulls away suddenly, her eyes wide in shock.

'' Yes? Are you willing to be our boyfriend? '' he asks, clearly surprised, and I feel a little embarrassed.

I smile shyly. After all, what's wrong with trying? I'm starting to like them, and maybe it's time to find out where that feeling can take me.

''Only on one condition'' I say, my voice now firm as I cup his face in my hands.

'' Anything! '' He responds quickly, almost out of breath, eager for my answer.

''Teach me to love,'' I ask, and a huge smile spreads across Luan's face, radiating happiness.

''With pleasure, my love'' he responds before kissing me again, this time with more passion. His arms envelop me in a tight hug, and I can feel his euphoria.

''Lucas needs to know this! '' exclaims Luan, pulling me by the hand towards where Lucas is.

Luan's two friends continue talking to Lucas as we approach. Luan, always full of energy, almost jumps with excitement.

''Luke! I have incredible news! '' Luan says, barely able to contain her joy.

''And what’s new, brother? '' asks Lucas, watching us curiously while raising his glass to drink.

''Enzo is officially our boyfriend! '' Luan announces with a smile so big it almost doesn't fit on her face.

Lucas chokes on his drink, and his eyes quickly dart back to me.

''Really, Enzo? '' he asks, surprised, and I just nod, a little embarrassed. '' Holy crap!

He runs over to me and lifts me into the air, spinning me around like I'm a child.

''Lucas, stop spinning me around like that, dammit! '' protest, trying to sound annoyed but laughing at the same time.

''I'm so happy! Holy shit, you just made us the happiest men in the world! '' he says, kissing me in surprise.

Despite being scared, I kiss him back, feeling the warmth of his touch, and Lucas sighs between our lips.

''Don't exaggerate, Lucas,'' I joke, smiling.

''I am not exaggerating. We are really happy with your choice, my love.

Suddenly, Klaus and Alex appear.

''What happiness is this? '' asks Klaus, curious, as he approaches.

''Enzo agreed to date us,'' Lucas replies, still smiling.

Klaus looks at me surprised, but then smiles too.

''Wow, that was unexpected, but I'm so happy for you, brother,'' he says, hugging me. ''I now have two brothers-in-law.

I smile, feeling welcomed, and push Klaus lightly, laughing.

''Stop it.

''Ah, our youngest has run aground. '' I glare at Alex who laughs. ''This deserves a celebration, let's all drink.


''Alex, Enzo is underage. '' Klaus warns.


''I know, but today he drinks, because it's a big celebration.


I shake my head.


My God, I'm going to get home finished, I can already predict that.
