Chapter 16

He really looks like a goddess to me, even now that I can only see his back. He’s so hot that I couldn’t be surprised that he got almost everyone turn their heads on him.
I got my phone and took a picture of him. It was sillouete since I was facing the sun. I took a lot of picture of him, one with my hand almost touching his back, I smiled when he turn exactly when I took a picture of it.
He raised his eyebrows on me when I hide my phone. I laughed and walked pass him. I decided to sit under a small tree. He sat beside me with his eyebrows still shut up. I giggled, I don’t want him to see the pictures, that’s only for me.
“Come here,” he said and softly tap the space near him. I didn’t so he decided to move instead and sat behind me. He leaned on the tree and pulled me closer to him.
I could feel my heart beat suddenly turn fast, I stayed stiff for a moment before I could loosen up and relaxed myself on him.
He’s playing with my fingers. I took out my phone again and take a picture of our foot. I put it back on my bag again, after.
“Can I see those?” he whispered. It tickled me that made me giggled.
“No,” I said while smiling. I leaned on him and relaxed myself. He hugged me with his left hand while his other hand was still busy playing with my fingers.
“Why?”
“That’s only for me,” I answered. I felt him nodded that made me smile even more.
We were both quite as we watch the calming waves. Before, I have never felt this way. I have never felt this calm and serene. 
I feel scared, it was too fast. I have so much things to settle, with Xavier and his father. I don’t know if this feelings that I have right now is right. I am not stupid, I know for a fact that I am starting to like Lucas. I didn’t know how it happed so fast but I am sure that this is different from the feelings that I had with Xavier.
I’m not sure if I already moved on form Xavier but for sure it wasn’t same as before.
And now that Lucas is always here for me, I couldn’t stop myself from thinking and asking where my family is? Where is my parents?
“What are you thinking?” he whispered. I sighed and shook my head.
“Something’s bothering you?” he kissed the side of my head after asking me that.
“I-I was just wondering about my family,” I answered in a low voice.
Where are they? Why did they do what they did? Do they love me? Or they don’t want me? 
“You want to find them?”
I closed my eyes and relax a bit, stopping my tears to fall down.
Do I want to find them? Do they want me to find them?
“No,” I almost whisper it to the wind but Lucas was too attentive. He slightly caress my hand and kissed me again on the side of my head.
I’m scared that when I find them, they wouldn’t be happy to see me. I’m scared to face the fact that they wanted me gone. 
“There’s no reason not to love you, Veronica. Know that,” he whispered.
I bit my lower lip as my tears fall down to my cheeks. He hugged me form behind, putting his face between my neck and shoulder.
“There’s no enough reason not to love you, baby,” his hug become tighter. My tears wouldn’t stop but everything that Lucas has told me made me feel better, it calmed me. It was as if my heart understand everything that he says that’s why every pain turns into contentment.
My face heated when I fully calmed myself. I feel shy about what happened. Sometimes I couldn’t really understand myself, before even if I am in front of my bestfriend, I was never emotional in terms of my family.
I stayed silent and playing with his hands. He really makes me feel safe and secure. One thing that I never felt around Xavier.
He was still hugging me from behind, not saying anything. Maybe waiting for me to say something after that sudden breakdown.
I smiled and took out my phone again. I turned on the front camera and took a picture of us. I was smiling on the picture while Lucas was still in between my neck and shoulder. After a few shots I told him to look at the camera so we could take another shot. His eyes are soft as he let me took our picture, I smiled sweetly. When I feel satisfied, I put it back on my bag.
“You love taking pictures?” He asked while he buried his face on my neck slightly tickling me. I didn’t mind though.
“Hmm, it’s good to keep. Memories are even better to remember with the pictures. It is a treasure. Every shot of a picture will never change, even though the place and the person we took that picture did,” I explained. I am playing with his hair now, it smells good and it feels soft.
I didn’t know how long we stayed there but we decided to go back to our rooms after the sunset.
He guided me to my room first as usual before he proceeded to his. I let him since it was only few rooms away. 
I took a shower and wear a bikini and then put on a blue tube dress. I’m planning to have a deep after we ate dinner.
I couldn’t hide my smile as I prepare myself for our dinner. I have longed to feel this happy for years, I know I shouldn’t rush things but I just don’t want to stop myself from feeling this either. Since Lucas aren’t rushing me, I wanted to enjoy this moment too.
7:30 pm when I received a chat from Rica.
Rica Monte: 
Hey witch! How are you? Are you with your lover boy?
I smiled after reading her message. Since he knew Lucas that time when he fetch me he called him Lover boy.
I typed my reply to her.
Me:
Tomorrow will be the start of the activities. Yes, he’s with me.
I tied my hair into a high pony tail as I waited for her reply.
Rica Monte:
Don’t tell me you share a room? Witch! Well, I can’t blame you he’s hot!
I rolled my eyes as I read her message. This girl is really wild and crazy!
Me:
Of course not! You’re so dirty minded. Why don’t you just chat Finn so you two will end up together already!
I sent it and smirked, I can imagine her pissed once she received my reply. After some time I decided to get my bag before going out of my room. It was the same time when I received a message from Lucas that he’s already waiting for me outside my room.
