Road Trips (A Lucaya Story)

Tongue Tied

⚠Rules: You must listen to the song above ☝ while reading!⚠

"So, who are you taking to homecoming?" I said while Lucas and I drove to school.
"Maya, you know I can't-"
"I know, sorry." I said while looking out the window to avoid facing Lucas. I knew he had to take Riley, but it still hurt, I mean, it had been enough to think about Lucas kissing me when Riley kissed him to make me feel better, but to have to stand to see Riley and Lucas together for a whole night, that was going to hurt like hell.
"What are you wearing to Homecoming by the way?" He asked and I smiled.
"I'm not gonna make it that easy Hopalong." I said and got off the car.

"Lucas, should I rent you a tuxedo?" Riley asked at lunch time.
"I got it Riles."
"Is everything okay?" She asked lowering her voice, even though I could still hear.
"Yeah, I'm just tired." I couldn't help to laugh, since Huckleberry was tired because of our road trip the night before. Riley gave me a confused look.
"I just thought Huckleberry went to bed at 7." I said nervous, but Riley seemed to have bought it because she focused in her meal again.
"We're still going to pick our dresses up this afternoon right?" Riley asked
"Sure."
"Great. I'm looking foward to it, Maya's dress' amazing." She started telling Lucas.
"Don' spill! I want it to be a surprise."
"Uh, mysterious. Then mine will be a surprise too." Lucas was staring at me, I took a sip of my Sprite as a sign for him to stop. Sometimes I wished he could just stare at me with no need to stop.

The lady who worked at the place where Riley and I got our dresses handed them to us. We both went to try them on. I looked at myself in the mirror. I picked a mint green, short, sleeveless, two piece dress, embellished with silver beadwork. I got out the dressing room and Riley was already out, wearing a pink, short, strapless, heart neck dress, with a jewel embellished waist.

Riley loved homecoming, she loved everything about it, picking princess dresses, having a prince date, dancing to the perfect song with her perfect prince.

"Maya you look hot." She said. I laughed.
"And you look just like a princess. Lucas is gonna love it."
"Thank you, peaches." She thanked hugging me. "Who's driving you to homecoming?"
"Probably Farkle." I said a little dissapointed.
"Well at least you know you're going on a limo."
"Yeah, you're stuck going to homecoming in Lucas shitty Volkswagen with its scratched sits." I giggled.
"How do you know it has scratched sits?" She asked.
"He drives me to school every morning remember? Cause' I don't have a car." I reminded her before she started asking any other questions.
"Oh, yeah, right."

I put on my dress and did my hair, I styled it into a half up ponytail. I put on my silver sparkly shoes and got into Farkle's limo.

Any girl would be delighted, but all I could think of, and I can' believe I'm gonna say this right now, but I just wished I was in Lucas' fucked up car, laughing and listening to Bowie with our windows opened, kissing at every red light.

When we got there, whe looked around for Riley and Lucas. They were at the table getting drinks. Lucas looked so good in his tuxedo it seemed like he was doing it on purpose, I couldn't complain though, I was using the same technique.

"Hey guys!" Farkle waved.
"Hee-" Said Lucas, but when he lifted his face from the punch, he couldn't even finish the word. I got exactly the reaction I wanted, speachless and bitting his lower lip.
"What's the matter Huckleberry? Aren't you gonna ask Riley to the dance floor?"
"Uh, yeah." He said sort of getting out of his trance and guiding Riley to the dance floor.

The night was happening pretty quick, which made me glad. I just wanted to get it over with, we danced all night, and Farkle and I emptied the food table and replaced it with our depression. I couldn't take it anymore, them laughing, dancing together, it made me sick, I needed an excuse. Tongue Tied by Grouplove started playing when I came up with the most basic one there is.

"Hey guys, I'm going to hit the ladies', be right back." I said while walking away. When I was halfway there, I was pushed against the lockers.

"Lucas, wh-" I said.
"You really wanted to make it hard for me didn't you? Well, two can play the same game." He informed before kissing me. We made out shortly against the lockers before he ran back to the party and left me giggling and blushing there by myself.

I got back a few minutes later and jumped to the rythm of the music. On purpose, I made my dress lift up a little, and made sure Huckleberry was watching. I laughed as he stared. The night didn't end as bad as I thought it would.

Hey everybody! Just reminding you all that I'm looking for a song that describes Lucaya perfectly for the last chapter and that you can leave your sugestions in the comments! Love you💗
