Girl Meets The New Girl.

Girl Meets Christmas: Part 2

THE NEXT MORNING!!!

I wake up tangled up in what I believe are my sheets to sit up and find I'm tangled up with Lucas. I smile to myself. "Now I know that smile anywhere". Zay said. He was sitting at the end of my bed watching my every move. I groan. "You need to tell him how you feel T". I shush him. "Quiet". He rolls his eyes. "You need to tell him how you feel today". Zay said. My eyes widened. "Zay". He cuts me off. "I mean it Taylor tell him today or someone else will". Zay warns me. "What are you talking about?". I asked confused. "We've all decided if you don't tell Lucas how you feel today one of us will tell him". He said. "Who's in on this?". I asked him quietly. "Me, the gang, Mr and Mrs Matthews, Shawn-". I cut him off. "Shawn is in on this?". I asked looking for confirmation. "He's the one who decided enough is enough. We all want to see both you and Lucas happy you can't keep doing this to him". Zay explained. "My uncle decided to judge my love life. There goes family". I muttered.

The blankets shift next to me. "If you don't tell him someone else will. You have until after dinner". Zay said before going back to his bed on the floor. "Merry Christmas guys". Lucas said sitting up. "Merry Christmas Lucas". I said wrapping my arms around his torso. "Merry Christmas dude". Zay said sitting on my bed again. "Your mom should be here now". I reminded Lucas. He gets out of bed throws a shirt on then throws me over his shoulder giving a perfect view of his butt. "Put me down Lucas!". I demanded. "Nope. It's about time you met my Moma". He said.

We leave my bedroom and head into the living room. My parents and Mrs Friar are sitting on the couch. "Lucas put me down!". I exclaimed hitting his back softly. "Merry Christmas Moma". He said ignoring me. "Lucas put the poor girl down so I can meet her". Mrs Frair told her son. He put me down. "Ohh my heads spinning a little. Hi Mrs Frair it's nice to meet you". I said sticking my hand out. "Please honey call me May-belle. It's a pleasure to meet you". She said pulling me into a hug. "Well I know where Lucas gets his obsession for hugging from". I said giggling. "Well aren't you a beauty". Mrs Frair said. "Thank you Mrs Fr-May-belle". I said catching myself.

"I hope you've been looking after my little Lucas". She said. Lucas groans. "Don't worry I've been keeping a good eye on little Lucas". Shawn said coming into the room. "Shawn Hunter, Taylor's uncle". He introduced himself. I quickly excuse myself from the room so I can get away from Shawn, Zay follows me. "Taylor you can't just run away from this". He said grabbing my arm forcing me to face him. "Zay this is hard for me. Do you remember what happened last time I had a crush on one of my friends he ended up nearly killing me!". I exclaimed.

"Lucas isn't like that". He said softly. "Zay you keep telling me about what he was like back in Texas. You guys always go on about Texas Lucas". Zay lets go of me. "Taylor-". I cut him off. "I'm scared I'm going to hurt him". I admitted. Zay tenses up. "I am so scared Zay". I fall into his embrace. "Shh hey it's okay". He said rubbing my back. "It's not okay Zay and you know it. If I don't admit my feelings to him tonight one of you are going to tell him". He sighs. "Taylor he deserves to know the truth". He said. "And I think I deserve a little more time". I stated. "I'm sorry Taylor you've had all year to tell him. It's time he knows your true feelings". Zay said before walking away from me.

"That looked intense". A voice said from behind me I turned around to face Lucas's mother. I stay silent. "I knew you had a thing for my son. Lucas talks about you constantly". She said. "I don't want to hurt his feelings". I said softly. "And you won't. Lucas is strong headed I think he'll be able to handle anything that comes his way". She said. "Lucas is my best friend. What was he like back in Texas?". I asked playing with the charm bracelet around my wrist. "He was a good kid. But his temper got the better of him. He was protecting Zay. He's a good kid Taylor. And he cares about you so much". She said.

I look up at her. "I think we should get back in there". I said softly. "Of course". Mrs Friar turns to leave. I call her back. "Mrs Fri- May-belle. Thank you". I said giving her a hug. She smiles and steering me by my shoulders walks me into the lounge. Shawn and Jack have taken up one couch while Rachel's in the kitchen. Mrs Friar takes a seat next to Zay leaving me to sit in the only available seat next to Lucas. I sit down to see he's already looking at me. It's like he's studying my face. "Are you okay?". He asked as Mrs Friar and Zay got into their own conversation probably about us. "Why do you ask?". I asked. "Well your face is all red as if you've been crying. Have you been crying?". Lucas asked worried. I place my hand down on the couch. "Lucas I'm fine". I said. He looks down at the couch I follow his gaze down to our hands. I didn't realise I placed my hand down on top of his. He looks up at me and smiles.
