Game On, Pretty Boy. ♕ RUCAS

♕ Chapter Nineteen ♕ - The Plan Is Working.

"What's wrong with me?" I murmur, still shaking my head.

I need to get away. Some place where I can just stop being someone I'm not. 

I turn the engine on and back out of the parking lot outside the bar. I needed to go get away, go to a place I knew I could be myself. Me. No one else, just me. 

As I drove on the road, I didn't know where I was going. I was just following my guts, not my head for once. 

Wherever I end up is where I should be. Where I know I can be myself.

–

Tapping the wheel I look up on the building in front of me. Almost all the lights were off except for...one window. 

I let out a groan of frustration and throw my head back, "This can't be it, Lucas." I say to myself.

This can't be the place where I feel like I can be me. 

But I have to give it a try. At least see what I'm doing here.

"Okay, lets do this." I say, climbing out of my car. I walk towards the building and up the stairs to the main door. When I was about to open I stopped myself. What am I doing?

"Ugh," I sighed. I can't go inside the building. What will I do then? Knock on the door?

I look around the place for some other way up. Looking around the place, I almost lost hope only to catch a staircase around the corner of the building. I found myself smiling as I run towards the stairs, climbing them fast. My mind was blowing up. A part of me was excited, adrenaline pumping inside of me. But the other part was telling me it was a bad idea. That I was making the biggest mistake of my life.

But the part of me that was telling me to climb down was my head. And right now, I was all for the gut feeling. 

I come to a stop when I'm right outside the window. The window with the lights turned on. I sneaked up to the window, hiding of course since I didn't want the person to see me. 

I close my eyes and take in a long breath. You can do this, Friar. Just...peak.

"Okey..." I exhale and openly eyes. Tilting my head to my right, I look through the window and as soon as I see the light from inside, my eyes land on a brunette sitting on her bed, reading a book. 

Not being able to control any actions or emotions, I start smiling as I keep my eyes glued to the brunette girl reading a book. She looked so peaceful, so innocent as she turned pages every now and then. Her long, brown hair hanging loosely over her shoulders, legs crossed in front of her. 

Letting out a sigh I looked away, leaning against the wall. I closed my eyes once again and gulped. 

"What am I doing here?" I ask myself, not sure about the answer.

All I knew was that I shouldn't be here. 

I look inside the room again at the brown hair girl who still hadn't teared her eyes away from the book she was holding. Watching her, my heart started beating faster and I felt like I couldn't breath. This is normal right? 

I lift my hand and form it to a fist, moving it closer to the glass, ready to knock. But before I get the chance, I stop myself. 

Think through this, Friar. You're The Lucas Friar! You don't do this kind of stuff, okay? You have reputation that you need to stick to!

My head was throbbing but it was right. I did have a reputation to stick to. And I also had a bet to win. 

I furrow my brows, looking into space and thinking about my actions. It was wrong, this si wrong. I shouldn't be here, watching her like this.
