right where you left me

chapter 6 - connected again

"bye mom, i'll see you tomorrow afternoon!" lucas yelled while walking outside with his bag.

"i gotta be honest, i really did miss you guys together" steve spoke up.

"thanks? i kinda missed him too" i smiled at the thought of being able to spend time with lucas again "don't tell him that though, it'll go straight to his head" steve smiled at this. lucas opened the door and hopped in the back. i was up the front sitting with steve.

"alright mayfield's house?" steve double checked.

"yep!"

11:57pm
"thanks steve!" we both got out of the car and walked up to the front steps. i peeked through my mom's window to make sure she was asleep and she was indeed dead to the world. we walked through the front door and grabbed some snacks on the way to my bedroom. lucas put his bag in the corner of my room and we sat on my bed. the entire night we were being affectionate, talking and laughing together but this suddenly felt awkward. i swear, you could hear a pin drop. until he got up and grabbed my skateboard.

"it's still there" he ran his fingers over the board "i don't know how i didn't notice it when you were holding your board in the car"

"what's still there?" i looked at him confused as to what he was referring to. instead of answering me, he sat down next to me and handed me the board "oh that? of course it's still there" i stared at the engravement. just after we started dating, lucas had stolen my board while we were at school. this led to one of our many little arguments. but then he told me to turn it over and on the back were the initials L + M in a little love heart. "i remember getting so mad at you for stealing my board" i laughed at the memory.

"you got so angry. but i saw your little smile when you saw what i did. even if you tried to cover it up" he smiled at me with the brightest smile i've ever seen.

"you know what else i still have?" i stood up from the comfort of my bed and walked over to my tallboy. sitting on top of it was a little jewellery box. inside was some of my most special pieces of jewellery. i don't wear jewellery often at all. actually never. but i still loved these necklaces. especially the one that lucas gave me. i pulled it out and brought it back over to my bed, opening my palm for him to see what was resting inside.

"the M necklace" he whispered in awe.

"yep"

"i bought this for you with some of my birthday money" he confessed, looking up into my eyes.

"what, how? lucas why? it's your money! you were rewarded for turning 13" i shook my head while smirking, and he took the necklace from me. he stood up and walked to my side of the bed. he gently moved my hair out of the way and brought the necklace to the front of my neck and clasped it in the back. he then tapped on my shoulder, making me turn around to face him. he took my hand and pulled me to stand up with him.

"what? i already said it. how? i went to the mall out of town with my mom. it's my money? sure is. and why?" he paused his question and answer to rest his hand on my face. i closed my eyes, living through his touch. he rested his other hand on my face which made me open my eyes immediately.
"because you are everything to me" his words flew through my ears and my mind was repeating that sentence several times over. he brought me closer to him and i knew what was going to happen next. our lips connected like pieces of a puzzle. if the puzzle was only two pieces. i brought my hands around his back and pulled him closer to me. i felt this moment stop in time and what was a 10 second kiss felt like 30 minutes. we released from the touch of one another and i swear my heart was going to jump out of my chest.

"well..." i grinned.

"well..." he smiled back.
