"Did you tell anyone where we went?" It's when we hit the free way that i remember i have friends who are probably worrying about my whereabouts right now.
I have been too distracted by Lucas to call them.
"Nop." He says it like it's not a big deal.
"You didn't let anyone know that we would be late and that we are safe?" He nods. "What is wrong with you? With every thing that has happened, they are probably filling for missing person."
"They know that you are with me and that i can never let anything happen to you."
"Oh my God! Nick and Jessica will kill me. They don't exactly trust you to keep me safe." I say fumbling for my phone inside my purse. It is in a silent mode and i haven't touched it in like eight hours.
"Well, that's their problem." His eyes are fully on the road but i can see his lips twitch in a mischievous smile.
"What is wrong with you? They are my friends and i know they are shitless worried about me." I scream as i scroll through my inbox reading one text after the other.
"Relax, love. They have some faith in me." Jessica maybe, Nick is yet to fully trust Lucas but he believes in his brother.
"Nick left me a million texts asking if i am okay." I say getting tired of going through all the texts probably because they have the same message.
_Where are you? Are you okay?_
"Talking of Nick, is he in love with you?" I glance at him, a small smile tugging on my lips.
_Is he jealous?_ A jealous Lucas is a major turn on.
His impassive face is back and his eyes are strictly on the road, that gives me a chance to check him out.
"I can smell the jealousy from here." I say after i am done checking him out.
"I am not jealous," he is quick to defend, that is expected.
"It is okay to be jealous." I say trying to analyze his expression but he remains stoic. "Especially when the guy in question is as hot as Nick." I add just to piss him and it does the trick.
"Have you met me?" He asks me grinning. "This is the perfect definition of hot." He says gesturing to his entire physique and i break out laughing.
Cocky much?
"You are so full of yourself. We both know that Nick is cute."
"Cute, not hot. There is a difference." He takes a sharp turn on the left with a smug smile on his face.
"I prefer cute to hot." He eyes me for a weensy sec before taking his attention back to the road.
"Are you by any chance trying to make me jealous?" He squints his eyes at me and i give him a one sided smirk.
"Is it working?"
"Try hard, love."
"Admit it, you are jealous of Nick." He grits his teeth, annoyed.
"Okay, i am fucking jealous of how close you two are. Happy?" I am laughing very hard by the time he is done with the sentence. "Answer my question now, will you?"
"Well, we have spent the last three years together and it is only natural for us to be close. He was the only friend i had back in the asylum." I guess that's why many people assume that Nick is into me.
