Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 137 Kiss Me

I glared evilly at Louis before I walked up to him and slapped his arm.

Louis pushed me aside and complained, “Lili, why are you being so violent? Geez, we’ve known each other for decades, so it’s only normal that we’ve had enough of seeing each other’s faces. It’s different with Dom. The two of you are finally back together, and it’s the first time I’ve seen him in forever.

“While we’re on the topic, what’s wrong with me calling him my brother-in-law? You two may not be married yet, but it’ll happen eventually. It’s just a timing matter.”

The way Louis spoke made it sound like I would only ever be with Dominic. Things change! It’s not like every other guy on Earth suddenly dropped dead.

“Louis Zanetti!”

I was both embarrassed and angry when I reached out to pinch that idiot’s ear. He was agile, though, so he slipped away and right to Dominic’s side.

That stupid baby brother of mine even winked at Dominic to elevate the problem and ask for help.

“Dom, you agree with me, don’t you?”

Dominic chuckled and replied, “You’re right. You’ll have to regard me as your brother-in-law sooner or later, so just speak as you like. Don’t listen to your sister, Lou. She’s just being shy.”

I glared over from the corner of my eye. Shy, my a*s!

And what the hell does he mean when he said that he will be the brother-in-law, eventually? Everything we have now is an illusion. It’s entirely possible that we will split again when he gets married!

A sting suddenly gripped my heart as that thought run past me.

Things had changed since I agreed to play along with Dominic. He had been mindlessly… or perhaps deliberately saying romantic things that got me feeling all warm and fuzzy. Unfortunately, those promises often left me broken-hearted.

There were times when I would find myself fantasizing about an impossible future as I relaxed.

I swayed a little, but I was quick to slap my face lightly to remind myself to return to reality.
