Chapter 4: Something for You

The last thing she wanted was for a thick silence to settle down around her, a person like Brenda shouldn't have so much power over her; make her feel small, she was better and she could do better. "Lulu…" Maxie started not sure if she should ask or even speak.

She could see her best friend standing still, quietly with her back to her, and interrupting was perhaps a wrong move. "She's right." Lulu said, speaking up and turning around so she could see Maxie standing confused in-front of the door.

"No she is not Lulu; you don't owe anyone anything. Sure this morning I got carried away and told you should talk to…"

Lulu's eyes drifted to meet Maxie's; locking them with hers, "No I mean…I mean she is right about one thing. I do owe Dante something and I think it's about time I give it to him."

The way Lulu said it; almost as if there was a second meaning to it, made Maxie frown and shiver within her. As her friend she did want Lulu to either fix things with Dante or to at least try and move on but the visit of just a few minutes ago with Brenda seemed to have made a drift, a change, in Lulu's attitude and possibly not the right one. Maxie hesitated but went with it. "Are you sure?" she frowned at Lulu who just nodded at her. "So you're going to go see him at Sonny's house?"

Lulu nodded once again. "I think I know what I'm going to do." She said.

"And what's that?" Maxie asked a little scared of what Lulu might have planned or about to do.

She didn't respond. Lulu simply walked around Maxie and walked off in her bedroom's direction.

Whatever Lulu had in her head troubled Maxie. This was the Spencer side of Lulu and it was surely going to come out at full force, unfortunately its direction was locked on a guy with shaggy hair, chocolate eyes, and who had a way with words; Dante Angelo Falconeri.


A few years ago he had traveled to a place that Sonny; his father, owned called the Island. It was a beautiful and luxurious place to travel to. It was one of the many places Sonny owned and that were bought off with his not so clean money but right now he didn't have the energy to argue, judge, or even think about all the things that Sonny owned. He had to breathe in and try not to look amazed at what stood before of him.

"I know this isn't the one you used before but you'll love it." he heard his brother say from behind him.

Instantly the words 'What money can't buy' came to his mind. Sonny was one filthy rich gangster that had more than one private jet. It was beautiful; silky and glossy black from the outside, but from the inside it was a thing of wonder.

Things were deceiving to say the least.

The inside was spacious, luxurious, and very elegant but usually that's what everything was when it can to Sonny's precious toys. "Sir we will be taking off soon, may I ask if I can get you anything; water, whiskey, juice?" The woman, who obviously worked there, asked nicely as Dante stood amazed at the inside. It practically had everything a house had; kitchen, beds, and even showers.

"Um…no I'm good thank you." Dante finally answered, taking his eyes off searching everything else inside, and take a look at her. The red head smiled, nodded professionally, and turned to walked towards the ascending stairs that made up the door.

Dante's eyes went back to searching; observing every single detail that made up the beautiful private black jet. "You can sleep here Dante it's going to take some time to get to Bahia Blanca."

He frowned at Kristina while walking towards her. "As in…Argentina?" he was more or less scared to ask but did it anyways. His sister smiled wide at him and stepped aside so he could walk in into the room where he would stay during the fly in hops to get a much needed shower and sleep.

"It'll be perfect you'll see. The place dad has over there is quiet and beautiful. I've only gone once; when I was a little girl, but it's away from the city so it'll give you enough space and time to think."

How he wanted to believe that, not just her but the idea of it. He looked down at Kristina and only smiled at her, he didn't want to be a downer for her or anyone, "Alright just wake me up when we get there."

"It's about a twelve hour flight Dante." Her tone and face reaction made him feel like an idiot, but her smile and sudden hug made his mood softer. Kristina hugged his waist, her head rested against his torso, and she smiled. "You won't regret it." For the second she hugged Dante allowed his hands to hug his little sister back and actually feel happy that he was there with them. They were his family and they were merely trying to help him how could he not feel joyous about it. "I promise." He heard her finish as she stepped back, releasing him from her arms, and smiled genuinely at him.

"I hope so." Dante told her.

She nodded and turned; escorting herself out of what would be his bedroom for twelve hours.

Twelve hours, what was he suppose to do with twelve free hours; in the air and feeling lonelier than ever. He turned to see the room for the first time and no mattered how you decorated it or polished it it still felt empty.

"No Dante that's…its ugly. Here let's put this one and…"

She looked beautiful when she smiled and fought him on which shirt to wear to a special occasion. "How come you don't like this one?" he asked looking at her looking at the two other shirt that laid out on the bed for them to choice from.

"This…one…" she pointed at the one she classified as ugly and that he held up against his torso "…this ugly shirt…doesn't look as good as this one does." And she picked up the dark grey almost blue looking button up shirt up to put it against his torso, covering the other on, "This one on the other hand needs to go!"

Lulu's hands reached out and grabbed the 'Classified ugly' from his hands. "I happen to love that shirt Lulu. What's so bad about it." his smirk didn't go unnoticed but her.

"What's so bad about it? Seriously? First off it's a t-shirt and second it reads 'I'm with Idiot' and has an arrow pointing to the side. This is a special occasion I don't think guest are going to feel special reading that they are idiots, do you?"

He loved that she wasn't made or annoyed but amused with him. Dante knew that the shirt wasn't fit for the occasion but the way she looked in that very fitting dress showing off her amazing long legs, her hair up revealing her long neck, and that lip gloss that he bet tasted like some fruity fruit just made him want to see her angry and ready to be messed up. "I'm going to have to disagree with you. First off its very…"

She frowned in curiosity to what he was going to say. "It's very what?" she challenged.

"It's very sexy and it fit me just right. Besides you gave it to me remember?"

So it was a lie she didn't give it to him and maybe that was why she frowned and rolled her eyes at him. "You know what why don't we just stay her and miss the whole event?"

She was playing him, "I knew you loved me." he said as he turned her, grabbed her waist, and pulled her in close to his body.

"You seriously don't want to go with me?" damn he thought she could get anything she wanted by just doing those eyes and wrapping those arms of hers around his neck teasing him so sensually by playing with his hair. "And here I thought Detective Falconeri was all big hearted and giving to his…"

The way those luscious lips of hers moved with every word she pronounced made his water with need for a taste. Sure she wouldn't mind if they were a few minutes or hours late to the event. Dante fixed his eyes on her lips and to her cleavage and then back to her lips. Yes they could be late.

Pulling her in closing the last inch between them he took her lower lip into his and sucked the life out of if, rotating occasionally to taste the top one as well, and getting a chance to maneuver his hands to her ass.

"We are going to be late…Dante…again." Lulu said talking between the kiss that left her almost no chance to do so.

"I love you so much beautiful." He said as they separated and looked at each other.

"And I think you should go with the button up shirt." Lulu finished winning the battled that he never indented in trying to win.

He smiled, she made him smile, little things like that were what really made him whole. He didn't need a jet or loft, or even a stupid shirt, he need her. "I'm so sorry Lulu." Dante said speaking to himself as he sat on the bed and placed his head on his hands that were position on his lap. "I'm sorry beautiful."


She honestly didn't have everything planned or even sorted in her head yet all she really knew and had was that she was standing outside of Sonny's house and waiting to see Dante after three years. After her little talk with his step-mother, who she hoped didn't see right now, she saw exactly what she had to do that instant. Dante and her were doomed from the very start, nothing could change that, but she had to make it official and break things off with him once and for all.

"Lulu…what are you doing here?" for more than three years she hadn't see his face but yet here she was standing outside of his front-door looking at Sonny who seemed like time didn't touch or even glanced at him.

Lulu felt her nerves start to work, she knew Sonny, but yet she felt anxious. "I heard Dante was here I was hoping…"

Sonny exhaled looking disappointed. "Come in come in Lulu, please." Sonny stepped aside allowing Lulu to walk inside. Lulu looked around out of habit and watched him close the door behind him. "I promise I won't be long I just need…"

"Let's go to the living room." He cut her off before walking in-front of her and entering the livingroom. "Do you want anything to drink; water, whiskey, anything?"

He was stalling, she knew it, and she felt like this was all a mistake. "No thank you. You know what Sonny I think…can you just tell him…" she exhaled and shook her head. "…never mind don't tell him anything."

There was still time to walk out of the house and confront and tell him tomorrow. "Lulu please don't leave." She heard Sonny say as she turned and stopped before walking out of the living room. She had thought about it; how it would play out if she did see Dante and break up with him, and she could hear him say those words but not from Sonny.

Lulu turned around to see Sonny standing, hands in his pockets, and looking as if he was having trouble with something. "I can't. Just don't tell him I was…"

"He left Lulu. Dante left four hours ago." Sonny said.

She had hoped that disillusion washed over her or at the very least disappointment but instead anger flooded her again. "Really." It wasn't a question but more of a way to tell herself that she had heard right and that Dante was gone once again.

Sonny all but watched her every facial expression, he didn't see anything, and either she really didn't feel anything or she was that good in hiding certain things. "He was sort of dragged out of here by Kristina and Michael." Thoughts flooded her mind and emotions, something she wanted to keep in control from running through her rammed her, but she maintained herself and listened to Sonny. "Lulu…" he paused and walked slowly to her. "Dante…my son loves you."

Lulu smiled sarcastically at that, how would Sonny know, but she said nothing in response.

"Before he left he told me if I could give…" Sonny walked passed her, straight to his desk, and back to where she stood. "…this. I was going to have Brenda give it to you but he insisted that I did it so since you're here…here go."
