18 : Birthday Kisses And Weakness

What?

Did that actually just happen and did he really just say that or was I dreaming?

"Come on before your breakfast gets cold."

After eating breakfast with Lucas and listening to him flirt with me all morning it was finally time to go.

I wouldn't consider it a surprise party because Lucas already knows I'm doing something for him. He just didn't know what.

He said he wanted to match so he picked out an outfit that looked exactly like mine.

I had on a white tank top with some straight-leg ripped jeans, so he picked out a white shirt with blue jeans.

"Obsessed much?"

"Very."

"Are you ready?"

"No not really," He said walking out the door behind me.

When we got there it was already a lot of cars. For once Desirée was on time and we were late.

After Lucas opened the door for me he followed behind me like some toddler not wanting to go somewhere.

I turned around and stared at him for a second.

"Fine," he said. He immediately started to act like he had some sense and plastered a smile on his face.

"Be grateful," I said before walking in, "They're all here for you."

"I'll try."

Everyone immediately started clapping and cheering when Lucas walked in. I could tell he didn't want to be there, so I started laughing.

We stayed together for most of the party until I told him to go and socialize. He didn't want me to leave his side, but I told him that this was his party so he had to do something by himself.

I left him to talk to everyone while I went with Desirée.

"So I made a really dumb decision."

"What's new?"

"I'm serious Des."

"What did you do?"

"I kind of told Lucas that I would stay with him tonight."

"What?"

"Well, this morning I went to his apartment to surprise him with breakfast. And I asked him what he wanted for his birthday and he said me. I thought he was joking at first, but then he said he wanted me to stay with him tonight, so I said yes because it's his birthday."

"Damn," she said laughing a little, "You surprising him with breakfast...wait staying at his apartment?!"

I nodded.

"You're staying at his apartment?" She laughed a little. "I know you might think this has nothing to do with it, but do you see the way Lucas looks at you and the way he acts around you? I mean you saying yeah to this is risky, but then again you've never been one to be afraid to take risks. But seriously I don't know who's dumber. Him for coming up with the idea or you for agreeing to it."

"Yeah...I know how Lucas feels about me but I just don't think I'm ready yet. When I tell him how I feel I have to be a thousand percent sure that I'm ready for that type of commitment again."

"I can't say anything except when you tell him make sure you tell him loud and proud otherwise he's gonna have doubts."

I hugged her and then let out a deep sigh. "I'm gonna go and get me something to drink."

I went to fix me something to drink and when I turned around I saw Lucas leaning against a wall staring at me.

I stood there staring at him when someone bumped into me which made me spill something on my shirt.

"I'm so sorry," they said after they turned around.

"It's fine," I said smiling at them.

I guess Lucas noticed because he came up behind me. "Let's go," Lucas whispered in my ear.

"Bye guys," I said as Lucas pushed me out the door.

I heard Desirée's laugh when she saw me and Lucas leaving. "HAVE FUN!" She yelled while still laughing.

•••

We made it back to his apartment after Lucas told me it was time to go.

I went along with it because he would've carried me out if I didn't.

Lucas looked at my shirt again and his eyes lit up. "Guess you have to take a shower now can I join you?"

"No, you cannot."

I took my sweet time in the shower because I knew when I got out Lucas would be either annoyed or horny probably both.

I got out and wrapped a towel around me. Lucas didn't want to take me home to get me some clothes, so I didn't have anything.

I walked out into his room where he was waiting on the bed for me. His eyes lit up when he saw me. "Don't even think about it. I need something to wear Lucas."

"No, you don't."

"Why not?"

He slowly started to smile. "I mean I could think of a couple ideas of why you wouldn't."

I rolled my eyes at him. "I really do need something to sleep in I can't sleep naked."

"No you can you just don't want to."

"Lucas." He sighed and went over to his closet and grabbed me a shirt. I slipped it on and he stared at me like he wanted more.

"You look good in my clothes. Maybe you should wear them more often."

"Maybe..." I walked over to the other side of the bed where Lucas was and got under the cover.

"Aaliyah." He said wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me closer. He placed a soft kiss on my neck as he buried his face into it. "Thank you," he mumbled into my neck.

"For?"

"An amazing birthday."
