you could come up with?” Gabe asked.
Gigi and Pierce came rushing into the kitchen through the opened backdoor. “What’s with all the smoke?” Gigi asked with worry.
“ Luc thought it would be a good idea to cook for Asia.” Gabe said pointing to the charred pan in the sink.
“ Why in the hell would you do something so damn stupid? We thought the house was on fire.” Pierce said.
“ Yeah stupid, you know good and damn well that your dumb ass can’t cook.” Gigi said.
“ I’ll call the café and have them, bring us something to eat, Luc you go check on Asia to make sure this smoke is bothering her. I’ll let you know as soon as the food arrives.” London said as she went to the phone.
“ So Gabe, how did the meeting go?” Pierce asked.
“ It was fine, actually I didn't do much, London did a great job handling the meeting.” Gabe said glancing towards London with a smile.
“ Did Joan give you the report from the independent survey company?” Pierce asked.
“ Yes, and after London and I read the report, we decide that it would be a good idea to add intimate apparel to her line of designs.” Gabe said as he continued to watch London from across the room.
“ Really, did the report show that there’s a market for that?” Pierce asked as he followed his gaze.
“ Yeah, that’s the reason we added it.” Gabe replied.
“ So things are cool between you two?” Pierce asked Gabe.
“ Yep, and getting better all the time.” He replied with a smile as London and Gigi approached them.
“ Okay dinner should be here soon are you guys staying?” London asked Gigi and Pierce.
“ No, we already ate we were out for a walk when we noticed the smoke.” Gigi said politely.
“ Dante won’t go to bed until we get home, so we’d better get going. You two can give us an update at the strategy meeting tomorrow.” Pierce said as he and Gigi headed for the backdoor that was still standing open.
“ We will, you guys have a good night and kiss Dante for us.” London said closing the door behind them. “I think it’s going to be a while before we get that smell out of here.”
“ Probably, I don’t know what that idiot was thinking?” Gabe said as he pulled London into his arms and wrapped them around her waist.
“ He was trying to do something nice for his wife, the man just found out that he might be a father soon. His heart was in the right place.” She said as she put her arms around his neck.
“ Enough about my idiot brother, let's talk about something much more important, can I stay in your room tonight?” He asked nibbling at her neck.
“ I think that can be arranged.” She whispered giggling softly.
“ Thank you, dolcezza.” He said before lowering his head to kiss her on the lips.
Luc rounded the corner of the kitchen to find out how long before dinner would be there, and stopped in his tracks. He couldn’t believe what he’d walked in on, Gabe had finally made a move to claim the last standing Landry woman. He was beginning to have his doubts about his brother, what man in his right mind wouldn’t want one of the amazing Landry sisters.
Luc cleared his throat to see if Gabe felt awkward about being caught kissing London. To his surprise and joy, Gabe stood his ground as he continued to hold her in his arms.
Luc smiled. “Sorry guys don’t mean to interrupt, but London did they say how long it would be before the food arrived?”
“ It should be here any minute, how is Asia doing?” She asked.
“ She’s feeling better but she needs to eat something.” Luc said.
It should be delivered shortly, and since you’re here I’m going to take a shower. Gabe I’ll see you upstairs.” She said.
“ Okay dolcezza, I’ll be up in a bit.” Gabe said with a wink.
“ Good night Luc, tell Asia I’ll check in on her in the morning.” She said as she walked out of the kitchen.
“ I sure will, good night London.” Luc said with a smile.
“ Shut up!” Gabe
