Complication

Chapter Twenty-four

"Are you kidding me!?" I shout as I burst through Lucas's front door.

He's sitting at on the couch in the living room watching tv. He glances over to me then shifts his eyes back to the tv. "Funny how you took my opportunity without a problem but I can't ride a new horse without you going ape shit on me." He says without looking away from the screen.

I power walk over in front of the tv, or at least tried. It was hanging on the wall just above my head so I really wasn't blocking anything. "I did not steal your opportunity! I got offered it before you! And some random horse? You knew for a fact that I knew that horse!"

He shrugs his shoulders but doesn't break eye contact with the tv screen. "Too bad" he scoffs. "It's not like you were going to have a chance to ride him anytime soon."

"Ugh!" I begin to walk away but right as I'm about to step up the stairs I turn around. "You're right. But at least I didn't have to sleep with anybody to get to where I am." I flatly spit out before I walk back up the stairs. But right before I turned around I noticed that he looked away from the tv and at me, eyes wide.

Now at the top of the stairs he asks, "how did you even know?"

I role my eyes, "I wasn't born yesterday, Lucas." I walk away without another word and go take a shower.

Once showered and clean I walk downstairs in my pajamas and my stomach grumbles. I grab an apple and take a bite of it as I open the fridge and stare at what's inside of it.

"Hey" his voice comes from behind me and I get startled and whip around, smacking him in the stomach.

I can't help but laugh, "sorry! I didn't mean to- you scared me!"

He rubs his stomach and laughs as well.  "I deserved that." He stands up straighter, "I'm sorry. For everything. I just... " he trails off but then says. "I'm a jerk. And I'm sorry." He holds out his hand but I cross my arms.

"You've said sorry before. And I know I have no right to be mad at you for riding Ferris but I do for other things."

"I know. And I know that you probably don't trust me. But please give me one more chance."

Even though I don't want to, I appreciate his effort. I hold up my pointer finger, "One more shot, don't ruin it." I say right before Liam walks into the house.

"Hey man! What took you so long?" Lucas exclaims and does that weird handshake with him that all the guys do.

He walks over to me after and smiles, "good job today" he wraps his arms around my shoulder and kisses my forehead.

"Yeah, too bad I beat her." Lucas smirks and I roll my eyes.

"By one place, idiot." I laugh along with everybody.

"So, what video games did you bring?" Lucas asks Liam and Liam walks over to the back he carried in and opens it.

I take this as my chance to leave. "Not video games aren't fun or anything, I'm gonna go to bed." I say. It's somehow already ten o'clock and I have to be up and ready early to make sure everything is ready for tomorrow night.

"Suit yourself" I hear Lucas say as they walk into the big den and I walk upstairs into my room, happy to crawl into the comfy bed.

*******
My eyes shoot open and I launch myself into an upright position. "Stupid nightmare" I murmur before climbing out of bed to go brush my teeth.

I don't even know what it was about. I literally wasn't dreaming at all until truck headlights started racing towards me and I woke up a second before they reached me. 

Lucas gets up next looking even more tired than me. "How late were you up last night?" I ask as I take a brush to my matted bed head hair.

"Let's just say I didn't even sleep. Went to bed five minutes ago and realized what time it was." He pauses for a second as he yawns, "show life sucks sometimes." He states and I walk out of the bathroom to get dressed.

In no time I have on tan tailored sportsmans, my paranti's, and a purple polo. I grab my show jacket and show shirt for last and carry them downstairs.

Lucas, like always, takes forever to get ready. I hear him walk down the stairs, "finally, now we ca-" I shit my mouth realizing that it's not Lucas.

Liam looks like he hasn't slept in months, "how do you people wake up this early and function like a normal human being?" He asks in a groggy voice.

Holy shit he's hot, I close my mouth before I start drooling.

"Saw that" he laughs and climbs down the stairs and wraps his arms around me into a tight hug, thankfully hiding my embarrassment.

He lets me go but still has his hands around my waist. He leans in and I close my eyes as our lips touch. Something about him just makes me melt right into him and be completely comfortable.

"Ugh! Barf in my mouth!" Lucas's annoyed tone comes from the top of the stairs and we break away. He walks down, "congratulations, you love each other, no need to show it to the world." He says and I can't help but laugh because I would've said the same thing if I was in his situation.

Liam goes red and I pat his shoulder and make a pouty face but then start laughing again.

"We gotta go, Gina. Don't want the boss to get mad." He puts his ray bans on. "Liam, don't trash my house." He says before walking out.

"See you later" I smile before giving him a quick peck on the lips before rushing out.
