there was so much excitement going around. may seemed to bring so much life into everyone's life with summer so close to kissing their skins. luca wanted nothing more than to be done for the semester and enjoy a couple of months without having to think about college. sophia and luca found themselves in a party store. the buzzing of quentin being a top prospect in the nfl draft lingering amongst them. balloons in their hands as they continued their shopping. with him being away with his family visiting teams it gave them enough time to prepare for surprise party, "why is he still visiting teams when it's obvious he's staying with the rams." luca questioned, finally putting her phone away as sophia shrugged.
"keep it interesting i guess. why don't you ask him?" her friend retorted once they were in the check out line.
luca raised an eyebrow. no one knew but the air was starting to get heavier around them. it was like they were expecting their life to change so drastically in the next couple of days but they weren't sure what. maybe they were overreacting, but no one wanted to talk about the gut feeling that they all had because what was left unsaid would never come back and haunt them, "nah," she finally answered after a couple of moments, "he's gonna get into some football logistics that i don't know the first thing about."
luca was proud of her friends. it was almost like they were set for life. they had each other. they loved each other. there was nothing that quentin wouldn't do for sophia. they were endgame. they were meant to be in this life and many more to come. it was hard to picture them without each other and they didn't want to so anyways because that would never happen. if you thought of sophia, you thought of quentin. if you thought of quentin, you thought of sophia.
she thought about lex and mike. it was hard to picture them not together either. mike adored her in the most meaning of the word. she loved what her friends had. they deserved all that the universe was blessing them with. where did that leave her? luca didn't need to find love. she had spent enough time working on herself that she loved herself enough now. she found pieces of her in the loneliness of her singleness- not everyone could say that.
haven't seen you in a min
35 minutes ago, she squinted her eyes as she looked at the notification on her lock screen. DB she had him as but regardless of his initials on her phone she had him written all over her body as Devin Armani Booker. luca decided to put her phone back in her bag but not even seconds later she was pulling it out again and staring at her screen.
he was right. it had been a couple of weeks since she had last heard of him. of course he kept himself busy doing so as tmz had caught him and kendall jenner weeks earlier leaving on some sort of road trip. so to luca it was obvious as to why devin had been so quiet in her life. there was nothing she could do or she wanted to do about it. who was she to be upset over a man who wasn't hers? as if. it didn't mean she didn't miss him. she wasn't sure if it was him that she missed or something completely different but she missed something.
seen you were busy
phone works both ways
she quickly typed back in two separate messages watching as her messages went from delivered to read to three little bubbles appearing as devin typed back. it was a game to them. to see how long they could go without each other but they both didn't know how much fire could truly burn them if they weren't careful.
busy?
u keeping tabs now?
luca rolled her eyes as she followed sophia along the store, her fingers typing a response back.
nope. simply stating what i seen.
the thing about passion and lust is that it has no mercy. it will stop at no means to get what it wants. it will ruin and burn things alive in order to attain its desire. that's what it all is. desires. the wants and needs. knowing that you have so much power over something. knowing that you can so easily manipulate someone because you have that hold over them. to leave when you please and to come back because you know they'll never leave. but what happens when it's too late. when everything is burned to the ground and you are left with ashes? and they can't be found.
and what did you see?
that you was busy
what do you want anyways?
tryna see you
it's been a min
