Chapter 43: Lucas Intentions

Lucas POV

I was still at Amelia's house. I was with her mother all this while. Looking at her she wasn't looking too bad. I could get her if I can't get Amelia, I thought.

I waited and hoped that Amelia would come back home but she didn't. I decided to leave but Amelia's mother told me to stay back.

Looking at Amelia's mother she was looking good and sexy. She was putting on a sexy short gown which made her lap exposed outside. I was tempted to do what was on my mind but I wasn't sure it was the right thing. 

I thought it wouldn't be bad if I tried approaching her. She sat at the other end of the couch. I slowly moved closer to her, and placed my hand on her lap. I I thought she would say I should stop but she didn't. 

“What are you doing? Amelia's mother asked.

“I'm sure you love it.” I said with a low tone.

I thought Amelia's mother would be angry or shout at me for what I had done but it seems she was okay with it. I smiled. I was going to get her if I couldn't get her daughter, definitely I was going to get her.  

So far,  things were going as planned, she didn't resist my touch and she was okay with what I wanted, I then smiled again.

“You know we can do this. I don't have an eye on your daughter but on you.” 

“What are you saying?” She said,

“You know exactly what I am talking about, why can't you make this work between us instead of your daughter we can let her be." I said, with a firm voice.

" What exactly are you talking about?” Amelia's mother said as I leaned closer. “You've been sleeping with my daughter and you want to do the same with me?" 

I tried to gauge her reaction by taking a deep breath. “It's not a bad thing if we do have a connection that does not involve your daughter." 

I could sense a hint of curiosity though her expression was unreadable. “So how do you intend to do this?" 

I post for a while, unsure of what to say next. But there was something about her demeanor that kept me at ease. “You know, we can explore something new together. Your daughter doesn't need to know about this.” 

While we were sitting there the tension was palpable. She fixed her gaze  on me but I guess she was lost in thoughts. “So how good are you? How good are you in bed?" 

"Don't try me,  you gonna see.” I said.

I smiled when I realized she was open to exploring this connection. 

Looking at her eyes I knew there was something more to that.

“Well, I'm not so sure what you are getting at." She said with a low voice. But looking at her and you she could easily be convinced.

While I was still trying to process the unexpected ton of events I leaned back in my chair. I was excited because she seemed to be considering my proposal. 

“So what do you expect from all this?" She said with a hint of curiosity.

I tried to articulate my thoughts by taking a deep breath. “You can only imagine just something that can be so beneficial for us both.” 

“I'm actually intrigued.  But still I need to know more that you are proposing." She said,

Knowing fully well that we were making progress I felt a sense of relief wash over me, while I smiled. Then I was eager to see what the conversation was going to lead to. 

I learned forward. “I know you will be surprised that I am asking a lot of questions. I just want to be sure we are on the same page.”

While we kept talking I couldn't wait but think about what was going to happen next. I only hope it won't be a dead conversation. Since I couldn't get Amelia I was so ready to get her mother. 

“You have to leave before my daughter gets back and see you here." She said,

“I see you are scared, you don't have to bother." 

She fixed her gaze on me for a while without uttering a word. I could only imagine what she was thinking, in there, in her mind.

I felt I shouldn't rush things since she was already giving me a signal that she was interested. I felt I could try some other time again. While I sat there still hoping Amelia would get back we didn't see any trace of her.

“Are you sure she's going to come back today? Or she's with another man. This is the main reason I told you I want you instead, you can't just push me to your daughter, I see she's not interested in me.” 

“Which man do you think she will be with?" She asked.

“Williams, of course." I said.

I noticed something off as soon as I mentioned Williams. Now I was beginning to wonder what was going on.

“You know, you can let her be if she really loves this guy." I said.

" I have no problem with that.”

" Then why is that look on your face?” I asked, curiously.

“I heard William's mother wanted him to get married to someone else. I don't want it to be a competition between whoever it is with my daughter.”

I reason with what she was saying she was actually right to think that way as a mother. 

“So why do you want to go for me instead? Amelia is younger and prettier than me, so why should you go for me instead, you should go for her?” 

“I really can't force things with her anymore. Since when I was out of prison I realized she was really in love with Williams." 

"So are you seeing you're going to give up on your love for her because of him?” She asked.

"Yes. I've tried my best, I can't force her to do what she doesn't want to do. Her heart belongs to someone else." 

“Are you saying all of these because you want to get me?" She asked.

"You don't have to be harsh in your words, I really like you.” 

She sighed. “I can't assure you, I will be doing this." 

“You can take your time to think about it, I'm not rushing things." 

She smiled. " I see you're serious about this." 

“Ain't here to joke." I said with a firm voice.

" I can see that.” She said, biting her lips.
