KRIS:
Life wasn't normal without Lucian. Though I'd known him for only a short while, I got used to always having him around him that I felt so weird and different due to his absence. I hadn't seen nor spoken to him since the last time we fought and I didn't plan on talking to him any time soon.
Most times I want to take back what I said and call him back but then, He needed to know what he did was wrong and apologize.
And as for Jake, he showed up at my place and practically dragged me out with him. Since Lucian was gone, I was left with Jake.
Let's say, make up for the ruined movie date.
Our outing was moving smoothly but I was dreading the moment he'd ask me about what went down on Saturday.
Luckily for me, he was about to drop me at my place and he hadn't asked.
Seems my fairy godmother wiped his memory. Can't be more grateful.
Getting to my street, he pulled into the parking lot and we saw a car there.
Guess who it belonged to…
Yeah…Lucian.
With the way he always showed up when I least expected, it had me thinking I was cursed with him.
I stole a glance at Jake to see his jaw was tense.
Silently, I prayed he wouldn't remember what I'm glad he had…
"Thought you said there's nothing between you and Lucian?” He asked, his gaze never wavering from the car.
And there Ladies and Gentlemen was my cue to die.
I mentally cursed Lucian while glaring at his car.
"There is nothing between Lucian and me. We're just friends.” I started calmly even though my insides were a nervous wreck.
"Last time I checked, friends don't cancel dates.”
I swear I'm going to fucking castrate that fucking bastard. I mentally raged, gritting my teeth.
"I wasn't with my phone when he did that and besides, I don't know what's going on between you two.” Of course, I wasn't going to take all the blame for that. "It's like both of you can't be in the same room without spitting fire on each other.” I added. "If this goes on much longer I'll just have to keep you both at bay. I don't want to be in the middle of your feud.”
Yeah. That's right.
"You can't do that. The only person you should stay the hell away from is Lucian. That jerk is not good for you.” He spat out, staring at me intently.
"So you think you're better than he is?” I raised my brows in a questioning manner.
"A thousand times better.” He smirked.
"You. Are. An. Asshole.” He laughed at that.
I might not have known a lot about Lucian as I'd come to know of Jake but he hadn't bad-mouthed Jake for once.
To me, that said a lot about him.
Opening the door, I got out of the car and was ready to go but Jake immediately hopped out and came to me.
"I'm not letting you go in alone. How the hell did he even get keys to your house?"
"I gave him.” I lied and his eyes widened in shock.
"Why the hell would you do that?" He growled out in anger.
"Let's just say our friendship has gone that far.” I shrugged As if letting what I said sink in, he nodded slowly.
I turned to walk away but he grabbed my arm.
"Just be careful around him. He's not as good as you think. Fuck!" He raked a hand through his blonde hair. "He doesn't even have any good bones in him.” He added, staring at me with pleading eyes.
But I wasn't about to take his words seriously.
"How do you know that? Huh? When you don't even see eye to eye with him?"
"I just know. I'm only telling you because I care about you. I don't want you around him.” He enunciated each word as if to make me understand better.
"Well, it's a good thing you can't make decisions for me. Goodbye Jake.”
I flung my arm from his grip and strode towards the door. Getting to the door, I was scared to go in.
What if it isn't Lucian that's in my house? I questioned myself as fear began to creep into me.
What if someone stole his car and came here to kill me? More questions of doubts filled my thoughts.
Oh Lord please let it be Lucian! I kept chanting in my heart.
I wasn't about to let Jake know I was scared since he was waiting for me to get in. So I opened the door and got in.
Let me tell you, I'd never been happier to see Lucian.
He was standing in the middle of the sitting room, hands in his pants pockets, and his back to me.
At that moment, I released a breath I hadn't known I was holding.
But how the hell did he get into my house?
"Are you scared?" I heard his familiar deep voice.
"I've never been happier to see you.” Immediately I slapped a hand over my mouth at the realization of what I'd said.
I needed to train my mouth on how to not say whatever was in my head.
He turned and asked "Really?"
There was no need to hide it anymore.
I nodded in response to his question.
"Come here.” Counting my steps, I got to him and he pulled me into a tight embrace.
God! I missed this hard and warm body. How the hell did I survive without it?
After a while, he released me and tipped my chin so I was looking straight into his eyes. I always felt the strong urge to hide whenever he stared at me intently. It was as if one look from him could reveal all about me but somehow, I liked it.
"I know you're angry at me for canceling your date with that fucktard but I don't regret it.” He stated calmly.
This made me angry. I was about to lash out but he gave me a stern look and my mouth lost the ability to form words.
Sly.
"I know your stubborn little self went out with him today, but that was the last. Hope you had a great time.” He smirked.
My face was red with so much rage. Seeing this, he chuckled. That only ignited my anger. Immediately I attempted talking, he slammed his lips to mine.
The only thing I could think of was *Lord, I missed these lips*.
My tongue flicked his lip ring and he let out a low groan. His hands flew to my waist and he pressed me tightly against him, making the kiss deeper.
Suddenly, I remembered I was supposed to be mad at him. I pushed him off me, my anger coming back and he stared at me with hooded eyes.
"Lucian, you can't keep using my attraction to you against me.” I said taking a step away from him.
"Call me that again and I will kiss you till your lips are swollen.”
Bastard. I screamed in my head.
"Was that all you heard right now?" I yelled.
"I can.” He inched closer and instinctively, I stepped backward.
"Why are you here?"
"To talk.” He kept walking towards me and I took more steps backward till I finally hit the door.
"Doesn't seem so to me.”
He got to me within the twinkle of an eye and caged me between the door and his body, placing his hands on either side of my head.
"You're right. I'm not just here to talk. Also here to make you mine.” He rasped What??
"What is wrong with you?" I asked in frustration.
"I want you.”
He knew just how to make me weak.
"Lucian it's….”
Before I could finish my sentence, he kissed me. I fought to get away from him but he wouldn't let me. Finally, I gave up and kissed him back.
Do I sound like I hated it? Because I enjoyed it.
"There. All nice, swollen and soft.” He smirked after breaking from the kiss.
I was speechless.
"You like tempting me. I hope you've learned that I follow through with my threats.”
With that, he stepped back from me.
"You drive me crazy. I. Hate. Seeing. You. With. Other. Guys.” He admitted with clenched teeth. "I'm not willing to share you.” He added looking at me.
I almost melted from his gaze.
"You're crazy.”
"I know. I can't help it.” He shook his head.
"I'm not even your girlfriend so you have no right to tell me what to do or not or even who to hang out with.”
"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He asked with all seriousness, staring into my eyes with his soulless silver orbs.
"Are you sick? You're just asking me that so you can control me?”
He ran a hand through his messy hair and sighed.
"Why are you so stubborn? Every other girl would jump at the offer to be mine" he smirked "Do I look like every other girl?" I yelled out, infuriated.
"No. That's why I want you.”
"I don't even know much about you but I'm sure you know everything about me down to my favorite candy when I was a kid.” I didn't know that but I had that feeling.
"What do you want to know about me?"
"Everything.”
"Greedy much huh?" I rolled my eyes at that. "You'll know everything you want.” He added.
