Never let go

25 : Trust

~ Rosella ~

I was very stressed for today's event but Lucas helped me calm down, he said that he had an entire security team ensuring our safety. This helped my anxious mind to calm down and now I was almost done dressing up in my formal dress. With one last look in the mirror I stepped out of the room.

I went to see Lucas if he was ready to go. The door of his room was already unlocked so I entered in.

I saw that he still wasn't dressed, he was standing in front of his full size mirror with a white shirt on but the buttons were half undone. He was trying to close them with one hand and it was taking a lot of time. I walked in the room "let me help you. " I said standing in front of him.

He didn't say anything and just let me do his buttons. I tried my best not to gwak at his muscles beneath the shirt but it was hard to not notice them. His chest felt hard and firm under my touch but I tried to concentrate on my task.

After buttoning his shirt I picked up a tie and tried to tie it around his neck but that was a struggle as he is so tall. He understood my struggle and bent himself down a little so I could have a better access to his neck. But that led our faces to get closer to each other.

His minty breath filled my senses and it almost felt intoxicating. Lucas was just staring at me making it hard for me to focus. For gods sake Rosella please concentrate, I scolded my subconscious.

He put a lose strand of hair behind my ear but the way his finger touched my ear and after he secured my hair, his finger brushed at the sensitive spot below my ear and just that simple touch made me feel butterfly in my stomach.

"I'll be downstairs. " I informed him after I was finished with his tie and came out of his room.

I waited in the living room for Lucas and when he came we drove off to the venue of the expo.

We were in constant meetings with different business associates and honestly it was a little exhausting.

Suddenly someone nudged my shoulder and I turned around to look at the person and my face immediately lit up with a wide smile.

It was non other that Aiden. It's been so long since I last saw him as he was away on a business trip to France. The both of us embraced each other in a bear hug. "When did you came back. " I said breaking the hug.

"Yesterday, and I also stayed at your place, Emma said you don't live there anymore, as you are babysitting this old man." He  said and embraced Lucas in a hug.
"Dude, I was gone for a few days and this is what you did to yourself? " He said referring to the cast on his hand.

"Things happened man, that's a story for another time. "

"Well then let's have Lunch together. " Aiden suggested and we agreed.
While we were on our way we bumped into someone.

"Look who's here." It was that man we met at a business event in Brazil his name was Zach Knight.

"Woah dude you've gotta be very desperate to come here in this condition. Is your company doing okay? " He mocked Lucas.

Since I saw this man I always get a negative feeling about him. Even last time he was rude to Lucas and they always talk challenging with each other.

Lucas once said that they share history together but I don't know more about it.

"Not more desperate than you. " Lucas walked passed him but Zach tried to stop him.

"Seriously Lucas I am genuinely concerned as an old friend, does this hurt bad? " He touched Lucas's cast this time.
