"Ma!" Dante said his face turning red with her comment.
"Sorry for interrupting. I just wanted to bring you this." she said as she handed him a casserole dish of lasagna. "You can have it later," she said with a small smile.
"Yeah I might have a huge appetite by then," he said jokingly.
"I'll just leave you two alone so you can..." Olivia said as she walked out of the room.
Dante placed the lasagna on the counter before he walked to the bedroom, "Lulu she's gone you can come out now."
"That was so embarrassing." Lulu said walking out of the bathroom fully dressed once again.
"So where were we?" he asked as he pulled her into his arms.
Lulu gave a little laugh as his lips met hers, her hands went up to tangle in his hair as he pulled her closer to his body. Backing her up towards the bed they pulled apart only long enough for her to climb up and lay down before him. Leaning down over top of her, Dante supported his own weight as his lips met hers once again.
"Dante, you here?" They heard a voice call out from the other room. Lulu pushed Dante away from her as she realized who the voice belonged to.
"Yeah I'm here," Dante said as he met Lucky in the living room.
"Hey sorry to just barge in but I thought you might wanna know..." Lucky began as he noticed Lulu walk out of the other room fixing her blouse.
"Lulu...uh sorry to interrupt but I was just telling Dante that we checked Brent's house and it looks like he ran. All his clothes are gone." Lucky explained quickly wanting to leave. He didn't want to think about what his little sister was doing before he had interrupted.
"Really?" Lulu said looking a little worried.
"Don't worry Lu, we'll find this guy." Lucky said putting his hand on her shoulder for support.
"I won't let him hurt you ever again." Dante said.
After Lucky had left Dante turned to Lulu, "So where we were before we were so rudely interrupted." he said flirtatiously as he pulled her close.
"Dante...I know I'm usually strong and I don't let things bother me but I'm scared."
"Come here." he said as he pulled her into his arms and rubbed her back. "It's gonna be alright. If I have anything to say about it you don't have to be scared anymore." Dante said as he leaned in to kiss her. "I'll do anything to keep it that way."
"I love you, Dante." she said glancing up at him.
"And I love you."
"You know what, I know exactly what you need." Dante said as he pulled away and left the room.
"Where are you going and what are you up to?" she asked.
"Just sit down and I'll call you when I'm ready."
"Hmmm...alright."
Lulu waited impatiently on the couch, she had tried to sneak into the bedroom to see what Dante was up to but he had shooed her back out the living room when he spotted her.
"Are you almost done?" she asked.
"Yep all done." he said as he walked out to meet her. "Follow me and close your eyes."
Lulu stood up from the couch as Dante took her hand in his, "Cover those eyes." When she had her eyes closed her led her to the bedroom, "Are your eyes still closed?" he said making sure she wasn't peaking. He knew she wasn't very patient. When he tried to surprise her at christmas time she always searched for her presents beforehand and opened them when he was at work. She would even go to the trouble of wrapping them back up so he wouldn't know.
Stopping at the bathroom door he led her inside, "Alright open?"
Lulu opened her eyes to see what he had planned. Her smile grew wider and she noticed his large porcelain tub had her favorite scented candles all around it. He had even brought flowers in and placed them around the bathroom and the radio on the counter top was playing some of her favorite soothing music. "You did all this for me?" she asked turning to face him.
"Of course I did. You deserve it."
"No one has ever took the time to do anything special for me before." She said near tears.
Dante walked forward and took her in his arms, "For a girl like you? That's had to believe."
"So do you think we'll both fit in there?" she asked with a wink. She laughed when Dante's eyes grew as wide as his smile.
"What you don't want to?"
"Wha...of course I do. I just didn't think you would be ready for that. I mean we just started dating."
"Dante, we may have just started dating but we have known each other for a long time now. And what about last night and earlier?"
"I know we came close but I didn't think it was actually gonna happen." Lulu smiled as she pulled her shirt over her head and then undid her pants as they dropped to the floor. Dante stood glued to his spot mesmerized by her. The next thing he knew she was sitting before him in his bathtub. "Are you gonna join me or are you just gonna stand there gawking?"
