Lillian

Luka had his back facing me, turned to the kitchen stove making breakfast. I slowly stepped forward and sat on one of the counter chairs and watched his movements.

He didn't notice me walk in. I observed his well-defined arms move and tighten as he made breakfast.

"Sleep well?" Luka asked, his voice still sounding like he just woke up. I leaned forward, resting my cheek on my hand.

"Fine. You?"

"Yes. Thank you." He mumbled. After a few moments, he finished and made two plates for the both of us. We ate in silence until I spoke up.

"So you want to tell me why you ignored me for weeks after kissing me outside of my apartment? Or when you shove me of a bench and then after having me walk around lost play hero for me?" I questioned, narrowing my eyes at him. I shoved the rest of my pancake in my mouth, waiting for him to respond.

"It's complicated." He trailed off.

"Well I have plenty of time." I looked down at my imaginary watch to prove a point.

"I would have been just fine if you didn't get yourself into trouble." He muttered.

"Well I'm sorry! I couldn't control getting attacked last night!" I yelled at him. He squeezed temples with his hands, exhaling sharply.

"Lillian, I can't do this."

"What are you talking about?"

"This!" He motioned between us. "I can't get to close to someone like you. I won't let myself."

"Someone like me! What is that supposed to mean?" I stood up from my chair and walked closer to him.

"Someone who is annoying at all times. Someone who is too emotional. Someone who is so naïve!" His words stung a bit. I now noticed the small tears that were filling my eyes at this point.

Luka noticed too. He stepped closer to me to where he can easily touch me. He slipped his fingers into mine.

"I also can't get close to someone who is so hardworking, passionate, and stubborn. I can't let myself care so much for someone who sees only good in people and can't judge anyone." He placed his hand on my cheek forcing me to look him in the eyes.

"I can't like a girl who is perfect in every way that she just has me craving for her. I can't fall in love with a beautiful girl with long brown hair and big blue eyes...." He trailed of his words and met his lips with mine.

And in that moment I knew I was in love with him....

Okay, I know it's a whole lot shorter than the other chapters. I just really wanted to upload this because it's a cute little Lillian/Luka scene :)

Hope you enjoyed!
