"Not in the mood, lover boy." I continued to walk. His hand clamped around my wrist, and I felt his calloused fingers as he turned me to face him. He softly brushed his knuckles across my cheek, and the sensation sent a chill through my body. He gazed at me with such an intensity I thought I'd implode.
"Please, I want to take you out. You don't have to do anything else with me," he whispered to me, leaning down closer to my face. I could breathe in the air as he was exhaling. I swallowed hard, trying desperately to contain myself.
"Out where?" I asked with scrutiny. I don't want him to know I wouldn't mind another night of the heaven he brings me.
"To dinner. Let me feed you, and then you can decide what we will do after. If you say to take you home and leave you alone, then I will," he promised. I stared at him for a while, thinking over his offer for a few seconds. Despite knowing I should say no, the word refused to leave my mouth. I know I should walk away and do my best to stay away from him, but I could not bring myself to do so.
"Fine," was what actually came out of my mouth. He gave me the most beautiful smile, making my heart literally skip a beat.
"Give me your phone, Rose." He held his hand out. I furrowed my brows at him for a moment. "You need my number."
I pulled my phone out of the side pocket of my yoga pants, slowly placing it in his hand, watching him fiddle with it for a minute. When he handed it back to me, it showed he had sent himself a text. Not only that, but it showed the name he saved himself under.The man who makes you scream.He leaned forward, capturing my lips in his mouth before I could say a word. My legs wanted to give out from under me with the sheer pleasure his lips brought me. Lucas' arm wrapped around my waist, both melting me into him and holding me upright. When he pulled away, I had to suck a breath in.
"I'll see you tonight, Olive." He smiled widely at me before he stood up straight. He pushed his hair back over his head again. I'm beginning to like it when he does that. He walked off, never having hit the bag he claimed he came for. He left the gym, giving me one last glance when he got to the door. The corner of his lip twitched up for a second before he went outside. I let my heart slow back to its normal pace before heading to the locker room to shower and change.
"I can't believe you said okay. I am so excited for you!" Hailey screeched after I told her what happened with Lucas.
"I can't believe I did either. Maybe I should text him and say I got sick." I bit at the inside of my cheek, getting nervous suddenly. I hate first date jitters.Wait, is this a first date?
"No!" Hailey quickly took my phone before I could text him anything. My phone vibrated in her hands. "Looks like he's asking for our address." I saw Hailey type it in before hitting send. She held onto my phone a moment longer, before I got it from her.
"You're no fun, Liv. Live a little. You're a free woman now. If you want to be with Lucas, then be with Lucas. If you wanna fuck him, then fuck him. Don't worry about what anyone else is gonna say," she lectured me.
"It's more like I'm scared this means more to me than him. Hailey, I just got my heart broken. I am still healing."
"Let him heal you, then. No one said you had to heal by yourself." She grabbed my hands. "Just promise me you won't hold yourself back, overthinking about everything."
"I'll try."
Hailey and I hung out for a while at the apartment, talking and watching TV together. A knock on the door had us both wondering who it could be. Hailey answered, since it would more than likely be for her, with this being her apartment.
"Oh? Lucas sent you something." Hailey smiled as she returned with a large white box tied with a neat bow and a card. "Open it! I'm dying." I grabbed the card first, needing to know what he said.
Hope you don't mind, but I picked something out for you to wear tonight. -Lucas
He bought me something to wear? My heart raced as I untied the bow, slowly opening the box. There was a deep green dress folded neatly inside. I pulled it out, seeing it was a floor length, a-line dress with straps that hung off my shoulders. There was a long slit on the side of the dress going up to mid thigh.
"It's beautiful!" Hailey sounded more excited than me right now. This dress told me so much. One, we were going somewhere fancy. Two, Lucas has money I don't know about. Three, he felt I had nothing appropriate to wear tonight. And Four, it told me how bad of an idea this was. I do not know what I'm doing. I am so out of my league here.
"Go shower now! I'm doing your hair and makeup. You're going to have every man's attention tonight."
Where are you taking me, Lucas?
Chapter 5
Olive's P.O.V.
"There, all done." Hailey stepped away from my face, allowing me to see myself for the first time since she started.
She had styled my hair in a pinned up bun with a few loose strands on the front. She did my makeup flawlessly, adorning red lipstick on me. I could barely recognize myself. I looked beautiful and the dress fit me like a glove. Somehow Lucas knew my size better than myself. Hailey let me borrow a pair of her black heels for the night that clasped at my ankles. I could feel my stomach turning. The swirl of butterflies in me was making me nauseous. My hands felt clammy, making me want to wipe them on the dress. My heart was racing from the nerves eating me up inside.
"You look beautiful." Hailey whispered as we both stared at me in the mirror.
"Thank you, Hails."
The ring of the bell had my heart hammering faster. Hailey raced to the door. As I grabbed the small black clutch purse she let me borrow for the night. I stepped out of the room to see Lucas in a 3 piece suit, looking fine as hell. That's a mental image I'll save for later. He gave me his signature smirk that melts me to my core. His eyes checked me out from head to toe.
