Game On, Pretty Boy. ♕ RUCAS

♕ Chapter TwentySeven ♕ - You Made a Big Mistake, Lucas Joseph Friar.

She's the most beautiful girl I've ever laid my eyes on. The bet was just a pass-in to get closer to her. She's changing me and I don't mind it. Because I'm better, I feel free and I feel wanted for once. 

Sure, Zay and his family loved me and they takes me in when I have 'daddy issues'. But this is a different type of wanted. A much more different type of love. 

One month ago I would never think the thought of settling down with a girl. Now, here I am, holding the girl that changed my world in my arms. The girl I want things to work out with. A girl whom I in the beginning of this month wanted to break her heart. Now I can't think the thought of hurting her and her precious heart. 

I'm falling in love with the right girl, I know she's the right one. She doesn't see me like a monster, she doesn't flinch under my touch, she isn't afraid of me. 

She's not leaving me. 

Calling her my girl makes me smile so damn much, the thought of her actually being my girl makes me go nuts. I want to hold her in my arms forever. 

"Riley..." I wanted to tell her how I feel. 

"Yes?" She whipsers, caressing my cheek with her smooth, small hands.

I wanted to just say it, let it out. I didn't want to waste another second, thinking about how I should've told her those three simple words. I couldn't back out like I did back on our last date in the car. I should've told her back then, but it felt too early. 

"I...." You can do this, Lucas. Come on, just look into her brown eyes and say it. 

Her brown, chocolate eyes gave me strenght. But I couldn't say it. I know girls want it to be said in this amazing, romantic cinderella alike moment. Maybe it was better if I didn't say it now. 

I mean I should, but I can't seem to make myself say it. 

Last time I did, she left. I couldn't bare to think about Riley leaving me like that. What if, under all those gazes, beautiful smile and the precious heart, she's hesitating? 

I gulp down the limb that had formed itelf in my throat. What's wrong with me?! I'm not a coward. I don't back down!

"Lucas?" her soft voice made me leave the trail of thoughts in my own head and focus on her perfectly sulptured face. 

"Hm?" I hum, feeling a little lost. 

She tilts her head to the side, smiling. "What were you saying?"

"Oh," I can't do it. "No, no, nothing." I chuckle, scratching my nexk awkwardly. "I...ehm...forgot."

She nods, giggling. "It's okay. How about that movie?"

I nod, heaving a heavy sigh. "Yeah, let's..uhm...watch it."

She furrows her eyebrows, "You sure you're okay?" she chuckles.

I laugh, falling into her deep eyes. "I've....I've never been better."

"Okay," she says, laughing lightly as she gives me a peck on the cheek, dragging me to her bed.

We both sat down on her bed, making ouselves comfortable for the movie. It felt good, once she placed her head on my chest, holding one arm around my waist. I smile for myself, placing my arm around her shoulders and drawing her closer to me. 

"I like this," she says just above a whisper once the movie starts.

I sigh, hugging her shoulders. "Me too, princess." My eyes fall down on her as she smiles with excitment for the movie and my smile grows wider. "Me too."
