"Try this," he said, adjusting my arms, shoulders, and hips. He then guided me into hitting the cue ball, having me shoot my solid red into the pocket. I smiled widely, happy to have gotten it.

"Thank you," I said, turning to kiss those lips of his.

We placed our sticks back once our game was over. Lucas had won again. It seemed he was not the kind of guy to let someone beat them because they were a girl. I would be mad if I won with him not giving me his all. He seemed to understand that about me, not taking it easy on me at all. We bowled next, laughing at the amount of gutter balls I was getting. Lucas would show me how to do it, and I loved it when he did. I had honestly never been bowling before.

"It's like you've never been bowling before," Lucas teased me.

"I haven't," I said, making him freeze beside me.

"I'm sorry, Rose. I was only teasing you. I didn't think this was actually your first time." He had a somber tone as he apologized.

"Don't worry about it. I'm glad it's my first time with you." I kissed his cheek before taking my shot. It hit 2 pins, and I celebrated a little too loudly. "I actually hit some pins!” I smiled at him happily.

"You're too much." He shook his head with a smirk.

The day was amazing and filled with so much fun and excitement. I was happy Lucas thought to take me here. Although I lost at absolutely everything we did, I still enjoyed it. It was the first time I was happy to lose. Best part about losing is someone else gets to win. And in this case, that someone else is Lucas.

"Ready to go home?" He asked me, making me smile.Home, our home now.

"Ready." I nodded at him, following him out to the car.

Chapter 35

Olive's P.O.V.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Lucas asked from the other side of the bathroom door.

"I'm fine, go away. I don't want you to hear me puke," I said, with my head hanging over the toilet. I woke up feeling very nauseous this morning. I attribute it to the hot dog I ordered yesterday. Never order the hot dog.

"Rose, let me in. I don't care about hearing you puke, let me be by your side," Lucas begged from behind the locked door.

"No way, it's disgus-" my sentence was cut short by my vomit. The nausea faded lightly after I had spilled the contents of my stomach into the toilet. I flushed, rinsing my mouth out in the sink before brushing my teeth. I opened the door to find a very worried Lucas.

"I'm fine. It's probably the hot dog I ate."

"Lay back down. I'm taking care of you today," he commanded, making me smile lightly.

I loved it when he took care of me. I did as he said, because being in bed sounded nice, especially with this nausea. Lucas brought me crackers, ginger ale, and water. He had me lay down as he unpacked his things, making this his home too. It was crazy to me that this wasourhome now, but God if I wasn't so extremely happy about it.

"How are you feeling now?" He asked me, when he finished unpacking all his clothes.

"Better, thankfully." The nausea had died down quite a lot thanks to the crackers. The ginger ale helped, too. Lucas kissed my forehead tenderly, sitting beside me in bed.

"Good, now stay resting, and tell me what you like to do when you're feeling sick," he demanded. I could tell he was asking because he wanted to do that for me.

"Eat chicken broth and watch movies. I like to watch romance movies, or animated family movies."

"Sounds perfect. I'll be right back," he said, jumping off the bed and running down the stairs towards the kitchen.

The smell of broth in the air let me know he was warming it up for me. It was a comforting scent, bringing me a nostalgic feeling. I watched him through the railing, smiling at the fact he was mine. I know I am very lucky to have Lucas. I am not sure what I did to get a guy like him, but I am glad it happened.

"Here you go, my Rose." He gave me a warm bowl.

He didn't come lay down next to me like I had assumed he would. Instead, he set up a projector and hung a white sheet a couple feet away from the foot of the bed. He turned on the projector, showing a romantic movie on it before coming to lie beside me. I drank my broth and watched the movie with him happily. He held me close once I finished eating. Everything felt right at this moment.

"I have some bad news," Lucas sighed. I sat up so fast it caused floaties in my vision as my head spun for a moment.

"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly.
