It has become a usual thing spending most of my nights and days in Lucas's penthouse. And he is a full blown workaholic which I'm getting used to.
I was upstairs in his bedroom watching Netflix and waiting for him as usual while he was in the second floor in his office working.After dinner he had said he'll go get some work done and be up in an hour, and it has been 3 hours and I'm officially tired of waiting so I put on a robe and go to his office.I headed downstairs and toward Lucas's office. I knocked, and I waited for him to call me in. He opened the door without a word. His cool eyes slid over my body. I wondered if he could tell that I was naked beneath the thin material of my bathrobe.
"Can I come in?"He stepped back and I walked in. I could hear the door close and then Lucas strode past me and turned to me with an inquiring expression. "What's going on?""Vanessa!" My mother's face lit up when she saw me. "That dress is stunning on you!"She air-kissed each of my cheeks. She was gorgeous in a shimmering, fitted black dress."Princess," my dad says hugging me next."Daddy, have you met Lucas Alvarado?""Yes, of course." They shook hands.Lucas pulled me closer to his side. "We share the good fortune of escorting the two most beautiful women in L.A." Lucas said.And my dad agreed nodding."And of course my mother," I introduced her to Lucas."It's finally nice to meet you Lucas," she says. "Although Vanessa I'm mad at you, you didn't tell me you were dating Lucas." She added huffing."I wanted us to be introduced in person" Lucas says with a smile."Well I'm glad." My mom says with a smile."Let's go say hi to your aunt," my mom says pulling me away from Lucas.I look over to Lucas deciding if I should leave him alone with my dad.
Inside the limo I seat at the far end of the door avoiding him and looking out the city, I was still mad at him.He sensed that and tried to hold my hand in his which I quickly pulled away.If he doesn't acknowledge how he hurt me and apologizes I will continue to ignore him.We drive to my apartment and park right outside, I don't wait for him or the driver to go out and open my door. Immediately we parked I got out and headed into my apartment, Lucas followed me out and into the elevator which I still ignored him.We reach my floor and we walk right to my apartment.I remove my shoes by the door and head into the kitchen pouring a glass of water for myself."You can't be still mad Vanessa." Lucas said when I refused to acknowledge him."Have you apologized? No! so I'm still mad." I say living him in the kitchen."I'm sorry," he says as he followed me
It has been 2 weeks since Lucas left, I haven't heard from him and I knew I wasn't going to but I hoped I would.I had started my new job last week which I got a flower delivery from Lucas congratulating me but when I asked when the flower delivery company when they were ordered for me they said it was weeks before Lucas left.Ari was back from New York and was meeting me for lunch. I felt guilty that I still haven't told her and Kathy about Lucas and I. Especially Kathy, he is her brother.I had grabbed us our regular table when Ari walked in and she was with Kathy."Hey Vee," they both say in unison hugging me."Kathy, you're here too?" I asked thrown off a bit because I didn't know she was in L.A."Yeah we got back together, I missed my dad so I came home to spend some time with him." Kathy said explaining."So what's been going on with you?" Ari asks aft
It is finally Monday, my appointment at the doctors office is in 30 minutes. Lucas had called and asked the time early this morning, he wasn't even in L.A why was he asking.I arrived at the doctors office 10 minutes before my appointment, and I was surprised to see Lucas was already waiting for me in the waiting room.He walks to me immediately he sees me, standing few feet's apart. It took every will I had not to jump into his arms and hug him."You're here?" I say suddenly feeling more relaxed."Yeah I'm here. I can leave if you want me to?" He says."No no it's fine, I'm glad you're here." I say and we sit down and wait for them to call us.They call us into the examination room, the door tell us about my options for pregnancy termination and my options if I want to keep the baby. She leaves us alone after she finishes examining me."So what do you think? Should I keep it?" I ask Lucas."Vanessa
Everything was going on perfectly, my mom and Ari helped me move officially into the Alvarado manor two weeks ago.And I have to say I love it here, the full staff just for needs, Lucas has been amazing making sure I'm comfortable and I have everything I need. His dad has also been amazing, coming to my side of the wing to make sure I'm alright every day.Lucas traveled back to London yesterday night to go over some work, he made sure I was okay and perfect before he left.My dad and mom have also been amazing, today is my uncle's Election Day so we're having a party at my uncles campaign office the results were announced earlier and he had won.So the party was on a full swing, everyone partying and rejoicing. After the party Ari drove me home to the Alvarado manor she was keeping me company since Lucas wasn't around.We had finished binge watching the office on Netf
2 years later....Lucas's POV"Honey get back in bed," Elaine called out from my bed room."I'll be right there, go back to sleep. We have an early flight tomorrow." I say out loud to her making sure she can hear me from down the hall."Yeah, more reason for you to get back to bed." She says calling out to me.She was right I really needed to get back to bed, haven't been sleeping much lately.Elaine and I met a year back in Amsterdam, We were both there for an Oil and Energy development submit and we have been together since. The only girlfriend I have had in years.Well there was Vanessa, she was different and everything was different with her. I had wanted everything with her, I had fallen for her and want
Vanessa's POV"Are you sure you're good?" Ari asked for the millionth time as entered the Alvarado manor."Ari like I said when you asked the last time and the time before, I am fine." I said."Okay well just making sure," Ari says rolling her eyes dramatically.I wasn't really fine, I was seeing Lucas after 2 years and I was excited, nervous and at the same time longing to see him.And then we entered inside.Lucas turned, seeing me standing in the doorway. I was astonished to see relief in his eyes. Had he been wishing I would come?We stared at each other seconds passing till an elegant woman came across the room and wrapped her arm around Lucas's. I felt like a dagger pierced into my heart.Kathy had mentioned he was seeing someone but I thought it was just Lucas being Lucas. Because Lucas didn't do girlfriends and ofcourse
After my conversation with Lucas I didn't want to be alone so I drove to Ari's place or I will just think and think."Ari?" I called her name after using my key to enter into her house."I'm up here," she called from upstairs.I walk up to find her with Kathy and Elaine in her bedroom."Hey." I said looking between them, feeling betrayed they were hanging out with Lucas's girlfriend and I wasn't invited."Hey." Elaine says with a smile."Vee, let's go downstairs I want to show you something." Kathy says jumping up when she sees me."Yeah we'll be right back Elaine," Ari adds holding my hand and taking me downstairs."Okay so, we're sorry about Elaine. We know you don't want to hang out with your exes new girlfriend." Kathy says."Yeah but she doesn't have any friends in L.A so I kind of invited her to go shopping with us today." Ari says."And we didn't say anything to you because we didn'
