Fell For the Good Guy: Part 2

(11)

"Thanks." I said, taking the towel from him. "I think you've wiped off enough."

"Yeah, sorry. I'm gonna go back to the bridge now. Bye." He said and left immediately. I look back at Darwin.

"Did you two plan that? Or was it only you?" I asked him.

"Me!" He said in his cute squeaky voice.

I giggled, "What was that for?" "You and Lucas. Be together!" He said.

"I'm sorry, Darwin but we're not kids anymore. He was a nice boy when we were together, and to be honest I loved him but he broke my heart and I had to leave." I said, quietly so no one around me could hear.

"Well, I've got to go now. That was a nice therapy session we had. We should have more." I rub his head as he nodded.

"Man, I bet there's way more weirder stuff down there or pretty much anywhere." I said. "This one seems friendly, though. What do you think, Michael?"

"Doesn't seem to interesting to me." He said. He seems mad. And Michael isn't just randomly mad and he rarely gets mad. Something must've been bothering him.

"Okay... What do you think, Piccolo? Also, where'd you find it?" I asked. "Saw it come out of a cave and I knew no one seen anything like it before."

"Well, I'll have to look into that later. It's getting late. Thanks guys." I said. "No problem. I'll see you around." Said Tony as he left.

"Uhm, Sir? May I talk to you for a minute?" I ask, Michael.

He turned and closed the door.

"At ease." He said.

"Is something wrong?" I asked. "Do you love me?" He said.

Immediately I knew he'd heard the gossip about me and Tony hugging in the break room. But, I knew, gossip wasn't his thing. He care for it at all. I don't know why he is now.

"I thought you didn't care for gossip." I said. "Do you love me?" He stated again.

"Yes, I do. I do love you very much. What have you heard about me?" I asked.

"I heard from Wolenczak that he saw you and Piccolo hugging in the break room, he thought--" "I'm sorry, Lucas Wolenczak said that?"

"Yeah and I didn't care really. I knew you weren't doing anything that night." He said. "Then he spread it almost everywhere and some workers are telling me about it. Then I saw you two in the lab from afar and I really wish what I'm saying is not true, but I think Lucas is trying to win you back." He said.

I wasn't shocked. Something inside me knew about it. Something inside me told me that Lucas Wolenczak still loves and admires me like he did when we were 16. When it told me, I never felt like believing it.

"What were you doing with him there?" He said. "He came by and do what I talked to him. He's still a human being. He was wiping my face and at that moment I felt something was off and so I stopped him." I said.

I then hold his face as he looks down at me. "I'm yours, you're mine. So what? Maybe he was trying to protect you for getting hurt. Nothing'll happen." I said.

"How about we watch The Godfather tonight?" He nodded immediately, making me smile.
