I couldn’t say anything. He’s very serious that made my heart beat even faster. I’m fucking nervous and I don’t even know why!
He guided me on the car park and put on his extra helmet on me. I looked at him sadly, he’s too serious. I couldn’t look at him straight.
He rode his bike big and so I did, good thing I wasn’t wearing a short skirt today. I hold on to him when he drove fast, and I wanted so bad to roll my eyes on him when he drove even faster so I don’t have no choice but to hug him!
I get even nervous, what does he want us to talk about? Why do he want me to reply on his text and answer his calls? Well, I know I should because were friends but I just couldn’t. I kind of feel awkward, I don’t know why.
“Move,” he said coldly. I sighed and got off his motorcycle.
We were outside a known restaurant. I rolled my eyes and frowned on him. I though he want us to talk? What are we doing here?
“Let’s go, Veronica.”
I didn’t know if it was just me or he really sounds authoritative. It was like he wouldn’t allow me to disagree on anything he wants.
“What do you want us to talk about? And why here?” I said a bit irritated.
I saw his jaw clenched before he looked at me. My heart suddenly feels like exploding, I don’t understand and I don’t know why he has this affect on me.
“We’ll talk inside,” he said in finality. I pouted and followed him.
He guided me on an elegant table for two. I was waiting for him to look at me but he refused and focused on ordering us food. He asked me but I just stare at him so he decided for us.
I couldn’t do anything other than roll my eyes on him and sigh while he was just staring at me intently. What is his problem? Argh.
“Let’s eat first then we’ll talk after,” he said when our food was served. I didn’t say anything and just nodded at him.
“Isn’t this too expensive, Lucas? This is too much, we’ll just talk,” I said after a while. Feeling a bit shy that he brought me here. He’s Samantha’s driver, maybe his salary was high but I don’t want him to exert to much for me.
“I saved enough money for this, Veronica. Now, stop worrying and eat your food.” He answered.
I sighed and continue eating. I don’t want him to do this but I don’t want to argue more.
Damn, this is awkward!
We finished our food, he looked relaxed now but I still feel nervous. My heart keeps on beating so fast! I’m not even running on a marathon but it seems like it because of the tense I feel inside. What the hell?
He guided me on the side exit of the restaurant. He let me sit on a small wooden chair, the place is really fancy and it has a little garden that matches the elegant theme of the restaurant. I didn’t notice this earlier because I was preoccupied by Lucas.
He was standing a bit away from me. I remained silent, well, I didn’t know what to say. I don’t even know what he want us to talk about!
He bend over to level my eyes, looking at me with his frustrated and questioning eyes.
“Are you mad?” he asked, almost a whisper.
It was as if there’s something warm that touched my heart when I looked at him intently. He looked problematic and worried.
“You didn’t reply on any of my messages, you don’t answer my calls. Every time I go to your office to pick you up, you already left. What is it? Why are you mad?”
I couldn’t hide my amusement and shock.
I’m not mad, I’m embarrassed!
“Okay fine, I get it. I’m sorry, please, don’t be mad.”
I bit my lower lip, he laughed a bit. I stopped myself from reacting. He looked at me, as if trying to figure out what’s wrong with me.
“I’m not mad,” I said in a small voice. He raised his eyebrows on me, waiting for me to continue.
“I’m…embarrassed and hmm, a-a bit shock,” I looked away. I almost wanted to be invisible because of too much embarrassment and nervousness.
He stood straight, biting his lip trying to hide his smile. It didn’t help! I rolled my eyes and stood up ready to walk out and leave him here.
I wanted pinch him or punch him a bit out of pissed but I couldn’t. I’m too nervous and I really feel a bit awkward after he told me he likes me. I just can’t believe that he does. I mean, how? I’m not the type of woman that is easy to love. I’m not even likeable.
“Hey, please come here,” he said softly as he held my wrist. He looked at me serious again. I rolled my eyes on him and remain pissed.
“Stop joking around Lucas.” I said irritated when I saw him smiling again.
I don’t know why I’m pissed. Last time he told me he likes me and he wants to date me, that’s why I tried my best to ignore him. I feel a bit awkward and embarrassed for unknown reasons.
While he didn’t even feel embarrassed or shy after he confessed! He even texted me more often and calls, he consistently go to my work to pick me up.
“Why do you still think about your ex?” he asked seriously.
“What? Of course not!”
He just looked at me, his expression full of sarcasm.
“Really? Then why does it looks like you still can’t get over him? Are you still hoping you two will be okay?” he asked firmly.
I looked at him intently, what the hell is he thinking? I’m not even bothered about Xavier right now. I mean, I know I still have feelings for him but I’m over it. I already accepted that we’re not meant for each other!
