Chapter 5... YAY

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Dinner was as uneventful as Luciano thought it would be, his father talked to the other men at the table while his mother talked with the wives. Luciano only spoke when he was talked to directly, but otherwise kept to himself throughout dinner. He would periodically glance over to Reid, but the other man never once looked back, frankly that annoyed Luciano to no end. Ok maybe Reid had something with the whole spoiled rich kid thing.

Before Luciano knew it dinner was being dismissed. He stood up and pushed his chair.

"Luciano, why don't you join us in the den?"

"Father-"Luciano was interrupted by his mother. "If you don't mind I thought he and I would take a walk."

Giving a faint nod Damian turned back to the group of men he was previously talking with.

Lily grasped her sons arm and steered him out of the room and up the stair, right to the deck. They walked around the deck in silence the star filled sky twinkling down on them. Sitting down on a bench Lily patted the empty space beside her.

Luciano slid onto the bench and leaned back, Lily patted his shoulder.

"What's bothering you baby?"

Luciano was about to answer when he glanced to his left and found Reid leaning out over the railing watching the round pale moon. His form fitting jacket was slung over his shoulder. His normally scowling face held a faint smile. Luciano's breath caught when he looked in the man's eyes, the normally cold eyes held a warmth. A warmth he didn't even think the man was capable of feeling.

Lily gripped his chin and turned his face to look at her. She had a small smile on her face, but they also held a small pain. "Baby, are you going to tell me about your new friend."

"Who Dr. Oliver? What am I supposed to say I've only knows him for a short time."

Lily sighed, "Luciano now I want you to tell me the truth, and know I will love you no matter your answer. Honey, what are your feelings for that man? You spent an awful lot of dinner staring at him, and even now, you stared at him like the sight of him gives you the greatest pleasure."

Luciano looked to the ground and blushed; he had hoped neither of his parents would ever find out his dirty little secret.

"I don't- I," Luciano stuttered. Looking back to Reid he gathered courage and answered his mother.

"I don't know why, but yes I have no interest in women." Glancing back to his mother with sad eyes he continued. "And about Doctor Oliver, I don't know. I feel like he hides himself behind his angry visage, he's a mystery."

Lily looked to the man still leaning against the railing, "well at least he's handsome."

Chuckling she slightly look at Luciano.

"Mother!"

Standing up she dusted the nonexistent dust off of her dress. "Well I do think I will be returning to the room." Leaning down she kissed his cheek.

Watching her walk off Luciano wrung his hands, and peeked back the silent figure. But the man was no longer staring at the moon but at Luciano. Their eyes met and neither could break the connection. The intense gaze was like nothing either had ever experienced. Luciano was the first to look away; he jumped off of the bench and dashed to his room leaving a stunned Reid gawking after his retreating figure. Luciano dashed through the sitting room and ran into his own room and threw himself onto the bed. What was the matter with him? Why did his heart beat faster when their eyes met? Burring his face into the pillow he drifted into a fitful sleep, dreaming of a handsome stranger he knew much too little of.
