LUCY
I feel so happy teasing her. I loved the fact she let me feed her. I know she loves the fact that I feed her but she pretends not to. The fact that she pretends makes me want to feed her more. "Hey!!" Nora yelled, waving her hand across my face. I batted my lashes and she frowned. "What are you thinking about? And why are you staring at me and smiling?"
I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't smiling"
"You were!"
"I wasn't"
"You are"
I chuckled. "Am I?". She nodded. "How do you know I was staring at you?"
She hissed. "Because I saw you"
"You were staring at me"
"I wasn't"
"You were. If you were not staring at me, how did you know I was staring at you and laughing?"
She rolled her eyes. "Whatever" she mumbled. I wanted to say something but she stood up.
"Where are you going? You are not done eating"
She ignored me and when to seat on the couch. I decided to leave her alone and clear the table. I packed the dishes and took them to the kitchen. After washing them, I opened the fridge and brought out the jug, containing the fruit juice Nora made yesterday. I poured some into two glass cups and took them to the living room. Nora was watching her favorite soap opera. She was laughing so hard I couldn't help but laugh too. I sat beside her and passed her the juice. "Thanks" she muttered
She sipped from it and then dropped it on the table, focusing her full attention, she faced the screen. I see that as an opportunity to look at her. Her coral black hair flowed over her shoulder and her plumped pink lips curved into a smile. Her blue cat-eye lightened up as she smiled. She brushed her hair slightly to the side. I was lost watching her. Watching her blink her lashes in a seductive manner. A part of me wanted to believe she was trying to seduce me. But another part doesn't. The Nora I know doesn't seduce. It's my feeling getting a better part of me. I can explain how I feel anymore. I don't think I want to spend the rest of my life without her. I think or rather I know I'm in love with her but I'm so afraid. I stood and she turned. "Where are you going to?"
"My room". She nodded and returned her attention to her movie. I sigh. Let me go get some rest.

I woke up due to the ringing of my phone. At first, I thought it was just the alarm, trying to remind me of my flight, but I realized it was the evening of the same day. I must have slept off. I yawned and picked the phone up to see who had called. I had to groan when I saw the caller. It was Mira. I dropped the phone and stood up to take my bath. I walked into the bathroom and stepped into the shower. After spending a great deal of time in the shower, I walked out and went straight to my closet to get dressed. I got dressed in blue pants and a white shirt. I brushed my hair. I checked myself for the last time in the mirror. I heard a knock on the door. I knew it would be Nora or rather Ariana. "Come in, her door is opened"
"Can you help me with the door please?" She answered back. I walked to the door and opened it. Nora was standing with a tray. she flashed me a smile. "Good evening, Lucian"
I rolled my eyes. "Good evening"
"Can I come in?"
I nodded and moved away from the door. As she walked past me, to drop the tray on the table, I couldn't help but check her out. She was dressed in a blue dress, above her knees and as she bent down to drop the tray, it raised a bit. I gulped down nothing. Staring at her sent a shiver down my spine. She stood up to face me. "I brought you dinner"
I blinked my eyes. "T-thanks"
She smiled. "I will be in my room". I nodded and she made to leave. I found myself holding her hand. She turned and stared at me.
"Can you stay for a while?"
She nodded. "Sure". She sat down on the bed. "I will help dish your food". I nodded and sat beside her. I watched her dish the food. I wondered where she was heading to dress like this. I was tempted to ask her but I kept shut. She placed the plate in my front and I began to dig into it. After a while restraining myself, from asking, I decided to ask. "Are you going out?"
She chuckled. "I want to go and get ice cream"
I rolled my eyes. She dressed this hot just to get ice cream. "Can I go with you?" I found myself asking
She chuckled but quickly conceal it. "No thanks"
I furrowed my brows. Is she for real? "Is there someone you are going to see?"
She rolled her eyes. "yes"
"A lady or a man?"
She frowned. "A guy"
'A guy?" I asked almost yelling
"Why are you yelling?"
"I'm not yelling. Why are you seeing a guy by this time of the night?"
She frowned. "Can't I see someone?"
"I never said that. I'm just been curious"
she stood up "You are not been curious, Lucian. "You're being jealous"
I groaned. Jealous for what? "I'm not jealous"
"You are"
"I'm only looking out for you"
She hissed. "What? can't you accept the fact that you're jealous and don't want to see me with any man?"
I rolled my eyes. "I am not..."
"You are. And the earlier you accept it, the better for you!!"
