Luca’s eyes slide to me as I grab a towel. I eye him as I wipe my forehead, waiting for him to say or do something stupid.
He shrugs. “We fought, we sorted it out.”
“Oh, for fuck’s sake!” Rosa throws her hands in the air. “Fucking men!”
Luca laughs as he stands up and walks over to me. He reaches behind me to grab a towel as well.
“What exactly do you want to know, Rosa?” Luca asks, rubbing the towel over his face. “You want to know just how we made up?”
My eyes whip to him and he smirks.
Rosa looks between us curiously. “Yeah… this is fucking weird, so… what happened?”
“Hm.” Luca crosses his arms, observing her for a moment. “Well, after I kicked Ty’s ass, he served some revenge on mine.”
I close my eyes with a sigh. There’s that something stupid.
“Yeah, I know, you fought. I get it.” Rosa sighs as well. “Ok, fine. You’re men, you sorted your shit out with your fists. Nice.”
Luca winks at her. “Among other things.”
“Fuck’s sake…” I murmur, moving away from him and back to the weight rack.
“Ok, so there is more,” Rosa says, pointing between us as she backs up towards the door to the weight room. “I will get to the bottom of this.”
“Oh, that’s right here.” Luca opens his arms wide with a smile.
Rosa looks at him with confusion, and I turn to the weight rack to hide my expression, which is likely one of both horror and amusement.
“Anyway…” she says, “regardless of how this happened, I’m glad you guys are finally getting along.”
I look up to the mirror in front of me to see her leaving the weight room. And leaving Luca and I alone.
“That was fun,” Luca says, sitting back down on the bench.
I huff out a breath, turning to face him. “You want to just go out there and make an announcement right now? Because you might as well have.”
He waves a hand in the air, dismissing that apparently absurd accusation. “No one knows, you’re fine.”
I sigh, trying not to lose it on him. “If you can keep your fucking mouth shut for a minute maybe we would be.”
He tilts his head slightly, observing me for a minute. “You don’t want anyone to know.”
I shake my head, looking down at the weights in my hands. “It’s not that.”
“Well don’t keep me in suspense here, Tyler, I’m on the edge of my seat.”
I set the weights down and look up at him. “Fuck, you’re annoying.”
He smiles. “You’ve said.” He then stands, walking over to me again. His eyes roam my face as his smile softens. “Finish your workout. I have something to show you.”
TWENTY-NINE
“Where are we going?” Ty asks from the passenger’s seat of my Jeep.
“It’s a secret,” I say as I turn off the highway, taking us to the outskirts of the city.
“You drive like a maniac,” he murmurs, looking out the window. He then turns to gesture towards the stereo. “And what the fuck are we listening to?”
