Nico looked momentarily confused before snapping his fingers, "Oh I get it now. The 'making cozy' comment. I'd forgotten about that."
"Uh huh. And why would you use that name exactly?"
"It was someone I knew as a kid. I hated him. Really hated him. It all started then."
Nico and Atlas both gave grim nods in agreement.
I looked from one man to the next, half considering what Luca had said. I doubt it was the truth, but it seemed I would get nothing from the boys. I'd have to do my own research.
How could I find out who I was? And why were they keeping the truth from me?
I absently took a sip from my glass, pondering my next move. Mmm, way better than my last batch.
"Well, I'm going to call it a day." Atlas gave an exaggerated stretch. "See you tomorrow bros, baby girl."
"Yeah, me too. I think I've been up much longer than what the doc prescribed." Nico stood and briefly kissed my forehead. "Night Angel."
Luca watched them leave, an expression on his face that read, cowards.
"What? Afraid to be alone with me?" I jested.
The corner of his lips twitched into a smile. "Not at all."
I took another sip. Catalina Rivera-Flores. You've done it again.
"Perfecto." I whispered. I looked down, confused at the glass in my hand.
Why would I think that?
I took yet another sip. A vision of a vineyard popped into my head. A beautiful purple wine bottle in my hands. My favorite color.
"Everything okay Catalina?"
"Fine." I stood and collected the bottle from the table between us. "You're right. This wine is amazing."
As I studied the bottle, my eyes widened.
Rivera-Flores vineyards.
I looked at Luca who moments ago had seemed so convincing.
He was lying to me, and I'd had enough. Time to cut the crap.
I put the bottle down and walked around the table to stand before him. I could tell he was intrigued.
"Do you care for me, Luca? Or am I just a plaything to you?"
He cocked his head to one side, studying me a moment before answering.
"Both."
I took the half empty wine glass from his hand and placed it on the table before climbing on his lap and straddling him on the lounge. He made no move to stop me and the hint of a smile on his face told me he was enjoying where this was going.
Well, the joke's on you sweetheart.
I smiled at him as I ran my hand through his hair and grabbed a fistful, yanking his head back.
"Tell me who I really am, and don't bullshit me."
