Chapter 24

It's already 19 o'clock and there are still no news about Marco. I'm really worried. Erik is shining like a sun, since I've told him that I love him. Mom called me about an hour ago to let me know that she's leaving for a banquet or something like that. She wanted to make sure that I won't come back home, she said something like 'I don't want you to wait for me in front of the door since you didn't take your keys sweetie.'. Oh how much I hate when she acts like I am 3 years old. "Sooo, what are we going to do?" Erik asked after he had appeared in the living room. "Whaaat would you like to do?" I asked. He smiled and looked down on the floor. What does it mean? "I don't care as long as you'll be happy." he said. The worst thing about this is that I have to act like I'm crazy fucking in love with him. But he's making it easier, since he's sweet as sugar. "Then I'dlike to watch a movie? Animated cartoon?" I asked and he started to laught. It made me smile that I can make him laught. "Okay, which one little kid?" he asked after he had cleared his throat. "I'm not a little kid! Let me think..." I said. "Oh, think really hard. This is a huge decision." he said while smiling widely. "Despicable me!" I screamed. "What? Why that one? Why not Shrek? Or Monsters?" he asked. Okay this is the time to make move. He has to be 100% sure that I love him more than Marco. I love Erik I do, but Marco's still in my heart. I stepped closer to him, put my hands on his shoulders and pecked my lips on his. He smiled. "Please, let's watch that one. Please." I said. "If you're gonna do that more often then okay." he answered and smiled. Kissing him is different than kissing Marco. This is more sweet for me, but kissing Marco was more real. It doesn't matter now anyways. I'm with Erik and that's it. "Okey, we're gonna watch it on notebook or tv?" I asked. He made a thinking face. "Tv I guess?" he said. I nodded. He was stepping closer. Too much kissing for 5 minutes. "No! The movie!" I said and laughted. He stopped centimeters in front of me. "Fine then." he said and turned around to walk to his room for the movie.
15 minutes after

Erik has been in his room for a long time. I don't know what takes him so long. I mean, he was supposed to grab the USB key with the movie on it. I came in the kitchen and sit on one of the bar chairs. What is he doing? What takes him so long? Is somwthing wrong with him? He cleared his throat and I looked up to see him standing in front of me. "What took you so long?" I asked, curious and confused at the same time. "Suspected torn ankle ligament." he said while rubbing the back of his neck. My heart stopped for seconds. "Lucy? You okay?" he asked and came in front of me. I nodded. "And? Something more?" I asked. He shook his head. "There will be more news tomorrow. We have to wait." he said. It's so kind. He probably knows that I feel something for Marco, he doesn't show it, but I think he knows it. Instead he keeps me informated. I immediately stood up and hugged him. He returned the hug. "Thank you. For telling me." I mumbled into his chest. He nodded and kissed the top of my head. We pulled away and looked at each other. "Um, one more thing. I have no school tomorrow. My classmate has texted me that the teacher has got flu." I said. His smile grew bigger. "Perfect! Can we spend tomorrow together?"he asked. Wow. I have no choice, I wanna make him happy and I wanna be happy. "Yeah. But I have to be at home. Now when mom is finally at home. But you can join us." I said and winked. "That wink was really sexy." he said and I blushed. "So plan for tomorrow- I'll drop you off at home, I'll go somewhere and then I'll return to your place. Deal?" he asked. "What? Where will you go?" I asked. "I need to do something. Don't worry." he said and rubbed my cheek. I only nodded. How will Marco feel when he finds out about us? "Shall we watch the movie now?" Erik asked. "Y-yeah. Sure, Agnes is waiting!" I said happily. I lyed on the couch and Erik went to switch the movie on. He was standing in front of me. "Um, where's my place?"he asked and chuckled. "Where do you want. It's your couch." I answered. He then lifted up my legs, sat down and set my legs on his thighs. I looked at him and he smiled.
Erik's POV

I feel like the happiest man right now. She told me she loves me, she has no problem with kissing me and she's currently next to me. We're watching 'Despicable me'cause she wanted to watch it. To top it all, we'll be together tomorrow too, since she has no school. Still, she's sad that Marco's injured. I know that she feels something for him, but as long as her feeling towards me are stronger, I am okay with it. She's amazing. And I love her. I told her that I need to do something tomorrow. The truth is that I need to buy her roses. She loves red roses, that's what her mom told me when I asked her about Lucy's favorite flowers. I'll buy the roses and ask her if she wants to be my girlfriend. That's the plan.
