"Yes, my dear Rose?"

"Let's go pack." I was excited to have him move in with me already.

"But…bed," he groaned.

"One more hour," I said.

"One more hour," he confirmed with a smile.

"What is this?" I asked Lucas, holding up some random black straps that looked almost like a harness.

"Hmm, I can show you later." He winked, making me throw it right at his face with a blush.

"I think I'll let you finish packing up this area," I said, moving away from what I realized were actually a lot of sex toys.

"Are you sure you don't want to see all the things I'll use on you in the future?" He gave me a playful smirk. I shook my head at him as I moved on to another area. Lucas actually didn't have much. He said all the furniture could stay, it's his dad's apartment. We packed his clothes, his toys, his office, and some small personal items he had. We were done within three hours.

"I'm starving! What about you?"

"Famished!" I rubbed my stomach.

"Let's go. I know the perfect place." He grabbed both my hands, pulling me off the ground. "I'll have someone bring the boxes to your flat. Let's go enjoy ourselves."

"What do you have in mind?"

"Trust me Rose." He smiled at me like a small child. And you know what? I did trust him. I trusted him completely.

"Okay." I nodded.

He pulled me out of the apartment, rushing me to the car. He was so excited, which only made me wonder where he was taking me. He played a song with no words but a happy melodic tune. The sun felt so nice with the convertible top down. A happy feeling deep inside me, seeping into my bones. Lucas pulled into the parking lot of a small building. I eyed him curiously as he parked. When he turned to look at me, he had a mischievous grin on his face.

"Time to play," he said, hopping out of the car and running to my side.

We walked hand in hand inside the small building. The doors opened to reveal some arcade games on the front right. Towards the back left were a ton of pool tables, where most people were right now. To the right of us was a large circular desk with vests and guns behind them. Finally, in the back, there were bowling lanes, with a concession and prize counter as well. Lucas led me towards the right. It seems we would be playing laser tag together, and I felt so excited to beat his ass. I've only ever played a few times, and each time was with Ian. I had come out victorious every time, so my confidence in winning was high. We weren't the only ones playing, of course, but we made sure to be on different teams.

"I love you, Rose, but you're going down," he whispered in my ear as we separated, entering the battlegrounds of sorts from different sides.

"If I were you, I'd start to worry about being beaten by a rose," I said as I sauntered away confidently.

Our game started, and I stayed hidden amongst the shadows. I made my way through the arena, looking for Lucas. I shot a few kids along the way, always catching them off guard. I was behind a column, hiding away as the enemy passed me by. My vest flashed before me, letting me know I had been shot. I looked around, finding Lucas' smug smirk above me.He got me.

I ran off, trying to hide again. Everywhere I went, Lucas would somehow find me before I even spotted him. It was beginning to annoy me at how easily he was winning. I hadn't shot him once, yet he'd shot me 5 times already. I'll get him at least once. I hid well, waiting for him to find him. I saw him pass me by, not noticing me for once. I was able to shoot him, making me jump out and do a little victory dance, only resulting in me being shot by someone else. I slapped my forehead in response, making Lucas laugh.

"I think I may win this one, Rose." He winked at me before running off. I gave chase, and the game continued this way until Lucas' team came out victorious.

"You're cute when you pout," Lucas teased me, kissing my cheek. I shoved his chest lightly in protest.

"Am not."

"Extremely cute."

We headed towards the delicious smell of food, beckoning me forward. I ordered a pretzel, a hot dog, and a red cherry Icee. Lucas ordered a couple pizza slices, a pretzel, and a blue Icee. I played with his feet under the table as we ate. I was having fun, feeling like a kid again. Lucas always had a way of making my troubles fade.

"Want to play pool next, or go bowling?" he asked me when we finished eating.

"Pool."

He nodded, taking my trash for me and then returning to collect me. He grabbed my hand and found us a table to play, setting the balls up for us as I grabbed our sticks. Lucas went first, showing me he was a master at pool. He'd almost gotten all his balls in before it was even my turn. I'd gotten a few balls in, but was having trouble finding the right shot to take with one of my balls. I felt Lucas' arms snake around me as he leaned over me.
