Chapter 38
My already rolled blonde hair fall to my face, covering my eyes so I couldn't see the screen of my phone. I was trying to digest the wheat bread that Lara made. I was never a fan of wheat bread. The only time I ate it, apart from now, was when I was pregnant.
"Here's a glass of orange juice to go with that bread, Mrs Grayson" Lara said and dropped the house in front of me.
I didn't reprimand her for calling me Mrs Grayson again. I've made peace with that. My eyes skimmed over the glass of juice, watching the way bubbles formed at the side. It was obviously fresh and out of the blender.
"Have you seen Lucas this morning?" I ask Lara. She turns her head from side to side and I know that she's trying to hide something. What?!
"Lara."
"No. I haven't seen him. He's probably in his room... yes! He's in his room. I left him some crackers this morning and he hasn't come down since"

Thank God he wasn't shirtless or I would've lost track of what he was saying. He had his eyes glued to his phone for some seconds before lifting his head up to stare at me."Not the butler did it?" I joke with a smile on my face."It's not funny. This is no book, but reality" I'm surprised when he kisses my forehead. Surprised but happy. I thought after our kissing fiest yester-night, he was going to act weird this morning. But he, more than anything, wants this for us. I think. "I was just trying to say good morning"He chuckled. "well good morning to you too"This is the part where I wrap my arms round his shoulder and kiss him, but Lara is staring at us like...what

You don't have to pretend" She grabs my arms, leading me upstairs. She pushes the door to her room opened and drags me before shutting and locking the door. I have my eyes glued on her waiting for her next move it word."I've known you where Elaine since that charity ball""That can't be true""it is true. You think I wouldn't recognize my one true friend?" She scoffs. "I could see right through the makeup, the lense and the dye on your hair. I saw through all that""Then if you know...""Why didn't I tell?" She surpasses me, I nod. My hands are tightly wrapped against each other."Yes""Because I didn't want you back in jail. Or worst, dead!..."I fee

"It's actually been a while, Yeah"So, it was beggining to get awkward and I don't want to stand anymore cause my feet is hurting me and I crave some more fruit punch.

I get the feeling she's not happy about Diana being here and I don't know why."Everything" I say but she lowers her head shaking it. "I came here so we could discuss the way forward" Ash hummed with annoyance. "Not chit-chat about fucking old times""Ash!" I snap and she looks away with a frown."It's ok if you want me to leave, Ash. I understand why you're mad at me" Diana cal

Lucas big hands grip my thighs and wrap my legs round his waist. We kiss hotly, moving against each other. I feel my body heating up, my arms come up to hold his neck to me when he transfers his lips from my lip to my neck. I moan, rolling my head back, feeling so ecstatic and light headed.

It had always been me and my mom" I tell Lucas prior to the question he asked me."Aren't you going to give your mom a call?""I can't. It might be risking everything we've worked for you till now. If someone is actually unto me, they might trace the call." I bael. Who says I don't miss my mom. I do, everyday but I just can't call her. I would have loved for her to know I'm still alive and well but I think it's best to keep it low for now."If you need to talk to someone or need anything, just talk to me" Lucas gives my hand an assuring squeeze before lifting it to his mouth and kissing it."Thanks" I smile."How about do with a little sprint.
