Chapter 80

LUCY
She ran out of the kitchen and I groaned. What's wrong with me? Why did I kiss her? I couldn't even stop myself from kissing her. I brushed my hair backward and sighed.  "Shit" I cursed. What will she take me for? I rolled my eyes and punched the table. I so much hate myself right now. Now, she will think I took advantage of her. I batted my lashes. No, I don't think so. She ran away in tears. Maybe she thinks I hate her or something. Or else, why will she run away? Maybe the way I looked at her. Yes, that's the reason she left. I groaned. I feel so guilty right now. Maybe I shouldn't have looked at her that way. I sighed. I should apologize to her. I don't want her to hate herself. I will just go to her room and tell her I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed her. I sighed and walked out. I was on my way to Nora's room when my phone rang. I checked the caller and it was Kelvin. I decided to ignore his call. I'm so not in the mood right now. The phone kept ringing. I had no option but to pick up his call. "Hey, what's up with you, man? I've..."
I rolled my eyes. "You've been calling me, I know". I know what he wants to say. There's no point in letting him finish his words.
He hissed. "What's your problem?"
I sighed. "Kelvin, I'm not in the mood right now for your talks. Can you call me back?"
He sighed. "Is there something wrong? Is there something going on between you two? Did you..."
I groaned. What's he even talking about? I sighed. "I did nothing, ok? You know what, I will call you back"
I quickly cut the call and headed to Nora's room. I felt a bit awkward, attempting to knock on her door. I brushed my hair backward in confusion. Maybe I should just leave her alone. I don't want her to see my face and feel bad. Different thoughts ran through my mind until the door suddenly opened. I was startled by the sudden sound. The least I expected was the door to be opened. I was short of words. She stared at me, her face looking so puffy from a series of tears I guess. I could feel my heart bleed. For the first time, in so many years, after the death of Julia, I felt for another. "Can you move away from the entrance, please" her voice came more in a whisper but I could feel the pain. I never knew I hurt her this much. I don't even know if she cried because I kissed her or because she feels I will hate her. I sighed and made to say something but when I saw her holding her bags, I paused. Is she trying to leave or what? "Can you..."
"Are you leaving?" I asked, cutting her short. She rolled her eyes but said nothing. "You ain't leaving. You ain't leaving me right?" I find myself asking. She gazed at me weirdly and I wondered why. What was she expecting I say? Goodbye. Nah.
Maybe it's high time I accept the fact that I might have a thing for her. I don't know how but I don't think I can stay a minute without seeing her face or hearing her voice. "Finally!" My subconscious mind said
I rolled my eyes. This isn't the time to argue with my mind. "Can you please leave the way, my flight is in an hour!!" She said calmly.
I batted my lashes. She is leaving. She wants to leave. "Are you been serious about leaving?"
She stared at me with surprise written all over her face but quickly conceal it. "You are not angry?"
I rolled my eyes. "Angry? For what exactly" I answered, feigning ignorance. Though I know what she is talking about, I don't want her to feel awkward.
She batted her lashes. "Are you serious right now?"
I shrugged. "I don't know what you're talking about. Maybe you should tell me, cause the last time I checked you agree to leave on Monday with me"
She hissed. "I can't believe I cried for nothing. He doesn't even remember" she mumbled. Though it was said in a low voice, I was able to get the words. I rolled my eyes. Did she cry because of the kiss? She stared at me. "Are you serious?"
"Can you just tell me, what exactly you're talking about?"
She turned sideways trying to hide her face from me. "I'm talking about the kiss. Ain't you mad at me for kissing you?". Did she just say kiss me? I was tempted to chuckle. I rolled my eyes. I started the kiss not her. If there is anyone to get angry here, it should be her not me. "You are mad at me right?"
I sighed and held her hand. "I'm not mad at you. I was just angry at myself for taking advantage of you"
"You didn't take advantage of me. I should have stopped the kiss too"
I had to chuckle. "No one can stop my lips. Not with these charming lips of mine"
"Lucian!!" She called jolting me out of my thought.
I batted my lashes. "What?"
She furrowed her brows. "What so funny and why are touching your lips that way". I groaned. Did I got lost touching my lips? I can't believe I did that. "I'm talking to you"
I rolled my eyes. I'm not in the mood to talk about that. I just need to make her change her mind about leaving. I chuckled. "I think I have an idea," I thought.  I quickly held my stomach to fake being hungry. To be sincere, I feel so hungry right now.
She stared at me. "Are you ok?"
"I feel so hungry right now. Can you make me something while I take my bath?"
She rolled her eyes. "Sorry, I can't. I have a flight to catch up with"
I rolled my eyes. Is she serious right now? "You prefer I die?"
"No, I just..."
"Then get me something nice to eat"
"I already made Basmati rice and chicken soup. Thought you would be hungry by the time you come back from your shoot"
I chuckled. She is a nice person. I rested on the wall. "And you don't want me to have it?"
"Of course, I do"
"Then why do you want to leave?"
"I..."
I rolled my eyes. She's got no good reason. There's no point listening to her. "Just get me the food already". She stared at me. "You will or you want me to kiss you?".
She batted her lashes. "You won't do that"
I smirked. "You know I can. Or you want to dare me?"
She glared at me and I chuckled. I kinda like the way I tease her. She sighed. "I have a flight to.."
"I will kiss..."
She groaned. "I will leave already"
I chuckled but quickly conceal it. She stared dangerously at me and finally left for the kitchen. I sighed. I know she might be angry with me now but at least, she gets to stay back.
