He sat in the passenger seat and shut the door softly. As she tended to him he pushed her hand away, "Stop fussing over me." He said angrily. He was still upset about what he had seen of her and Rios, the reason he had left the bar in the first place. He was in love with her and felt possessive and over protective of her. Rios was a loose cannon, he didn't feel as though he could trust him at all anymore. "Just drive." He said through gritted teeth as he glanced out the window.

Serafina pulled her hand back and face forward, hurt at his harsh words and pouted a little as she threw the car into gear and started to drive.
She managed to get the car all the way to Lucianos house and parked. Without saying anything she looked straight forward, expecting him to get out of the car.
She didnt know why he'd been so harsh with her, but she was angry with him for it...

"Come up with me, I can't send you home in this state." He said as he opened the car door and looked over at her waiting for her to get out with him. He was upset about everything that transpired and now just wanted to go upstairs with her and have a drink.

"Why not?" Serafina snapped looking over at him, "You were willing to leave me in this state back at the bar!"
She put her hands on the steering wheel, her fingernails digging in as she felt herself turning even more angry. She didnt know what he wanted from her, but she certainly wasnt going to stay if he would be mean some more...

He sighed and rubbed his face, recoiling when he felt a sharp pain. He head was killing him and sobering him up at the same time. "I was right outside the whole time." He told her, " Come on, upstairs." He said as he got out of the car and shut the door behind him. He moved around to the driver's side and waited there for her to get out. He wasn't going to let her leave, even if he had to throw himself in front of the damn car.

Serafina stared at the steering wheel for a second after her opened the door, concidering being stubborn, but finally she looked up at him, pouting a little as she climbed out.
She'd go up with him, but she wouldnt forgive him yet.
"You're still bleeding all over the place." She said, looking up at his face and examining the damage Rios had done and wanting to take care of him...

"Nothing I can do about it at the moment." He said as he rolled his sleeve down and the doorman opened the door for them. The walked in and over to the elevator. He waited for it to come, hoping it was soon enough so the tension would end. He couldn't get the look she gave him out of his head in the bar, when she was standing there with Rios. The elevator finally arrived and he struggled to press the penthouse button.

Serafina followed him silently, getting into the elevator and leaning against the wall, feeling exhausted. Her eyes remained on Luciano while she kept her thoughts to herself...

The elevator door shut as Luciano rolled down his sleeve and held the cuff to his nose to try and stop the bleeding. He looked over at Serafina and their eyes connected. He felt sadness break in his heart when he thought about how shaken up she was before when Rios killed the cabbie and Luciano had been nothing but cold to her since then. He just didn't know if she would take his apology. The doors opened to the penthouse and Luciano struggled to swipe his key through the computerized door. He finally got in and held the door open for her as he kicked his shoes off.

Serafina broke the gaze as she walked past him out of the elevator and into the penthouse. It looked as she remembered, and she moved to sit down.
As she did, she dropped her purse and let out a long breath, bending over to hold her head in her hands. She felt terrible and wished she could go back and erase everything that had just happened with Rios...
Her mind wasnt on Luciano anymore, but feeling guilty over the way Rios felt even though it really wasnt her fault and there was nothing she could do about it..

He sat down next to her and sighed as he rested his head back, trying to close his eyes. "I'm sorry about everything that happened there, I wish you weren't exposed to that as you once were. I'll find him and make sure he's alright...I know he's important to you." He told her with a touch of sarcasm.

Serafina looked over at Luciano and she reached out to put her arms around him, laying her head against his chest as she turned her face in to inhale his scent. She'd missed him...
"It was my fault." She said, "He told me he loved me and I said there was someone else. Thats when he went crazy and pulled out the gun... I think he suspects you and I..."
She looked up at him, "Its true I care about Rios, but you're the one I was afraid for. I'm glad you're alright... I want you to stay with me tonight..."

He let her talk as he held her in his arms, he was upset at the fact that Rios might have suspected what was going on between Serafina and himself. He kept quiet and ran his fingers up and down her arm, tracing a light pattern. He smiled when she said she wanted him to stay with her tonight, "Whatever you wish." He said as he pinched his noise with his freehand and tilted his head back, trying to stop the bleeding.

Looking up at him, she frowned to see he was still bleeding and slowly got up to go find some tissues and a bag of ice. She wanted to help him and take care of him.
Returning, she sat down beside him, "Let me..." She said taking his hand away and applying the tissues to his nose and the ice wrapped in a cloth to the back of his neck...

He let her tend to him with a drunk smirk on his face, he was so wasted he probably wouldn't remember much in the morning. He turned his head so he could look at her, " He told you he was in love with you?" He asked quietly, not wanting to start a fight over anything anymore. He didn't like fighting with her because no matter what she would always win.
