Laurel felt her breath hitch as she watched his face pale. "I-It's okay.. I... Please.. If you meant it.. Do it again," she whispered, her hand finding his to hold and squeeze. She loved him. She really loved him.

Luca breathed shakily. He couldn't offer a relationship, but he loved her so much. He shouldn't do this, but he did it anyways. He pulled her in quickly, kissing her wildly. His hands came up, dropping his towel, wrapping around her and pulling her closer.

"I love you..." he breathed, continuing to kiss her.
