I've always known Lucas is a terrific cook since he cooked once in a while at Daisy's but right now, the meal I'm currently eating,  one word: mouthgarsm. 

It's so good.  

He watches me with amusement in his pretty eyes. 

I almost roll my eyes at that. 

He's so weird sometimes.  

I'm still on my 'find one thing imperfect about Lucas' agenda but nothing so far. 

He's a decent enough guy.  

He's not racist as far as I know. 

It’ll be pretty stupid if he is. Why would the oppressed oppress another oppressed? It’s stupid but it happens. 

Wait, why am I bothering myself with this? 

I do not care about Lucas.  

Who are you kidding? 

"Where are the twins?" I ask before I do something stupid like jump him. 

"They're at Gina's"

I raise an eyebrow, "You mean at your mother's?"

He shrugs and sips his tea and I wince slightly. 

I've got to be the only Briton who doesn't fervently like tea. 
I can't stand coffee. 

"Your family is nice", unlike you. 

OK Lucas is nice a bit. 

A lot. 

I had a great time hanging with his family the last time.  I would love to see them again. It's a shame I didn't get to say goodbye. 

"Your family is nice" I repeat.

He doesn't say anything again.

"It's a shame I didn't say goodbye.  I wonder why"

"Get to the point Victoria"

"Why did you storm out angrily that day?"

He did say get to the point.  

He shrugs, "I wasn't angry and fights happen between family members"

It's deeper than that but I don't press on it.  

Speaking of anger, come to think of it, I've never seen Lucas angry. 

Is that even healthy? 

But then I've never seen him particularly happy.

He's such a weird person; mysterious and weird. 

Who is Lucas Haru Romano? 

I fight back a laugh thinking of his last name.  

"What's so funny?"

I look up his eyes curious. 

He's so cute sometimes. 

"Oh nothing. I should probably get going soon"

"Oh", 

For a tad second, he looks disappointed? 

I wonder why. 

"I'll drop you off"

I would have declined but I have no idea where his home is located in Manchester though I’ve been here that one time. 

Are we even in Manchester? 

"OK"

I continue to eat the God given meal.
