Temptations (boyxboy) (BOOK 1)

Chapter 2

Lucian's POV

Julian's right hand landed on my inner thigh and began to lightly rub circles there, his face was flushed slightly and he seemed intrigued by my offer....WHAT THE HECK??? 

I squirmed a little as he smiled softly and kept his hand on my thigh and moved closer to me. He gestured towards Ace, and the guy rolled his eyes and left the table.

"Lucy, I kno-" I cut him off, putting my finger on his lips. My smile not faltering.

"Oh no no no no big boy. Only my friends can call me Lucy. You, shall refer to me as Lucian. Or better yet, Lucian the great all mighty! Anything else will not do. Scum like you need to know their place." I said to him, my mind racing in confusion. I had no idea what was happening but i had to keep up my defenses.

So although my tone was sweet, I made it very clear to add a venomous ring to it so he knew I was pissed off. I wasn't gonna drop my guard. Not around him. Not so easily.

His outer features did not change, yet the slight look of hurt and.... fear?.... could be seen in his eyes.

Fear? Hurt? Why?? Its not like he cares! He bullies me the most! In fact, he ONLY bullies ME! Still my heart fluttered at the thought that he was being genuine. Shut up heart! I hate you! Why cant you just shut up and pump blood!

Maybe I was just be seeing things. There's no way it was true. It couldn't be. I was just pent up and Julian was quite attractive so my mind was making up scenarios that weren't true.

His hand left my thigh and it tingled from the emptiness. Ignoring the odd sensation, I raised my eyebrow, signaling for him to continue, but secretly missing his gentle touch. WHY OH WHY WAS MY BODY BETRAYING ME TODAY????

"Umm.. Lucian... I know I have been the absolute worst person on earth to you.. And have made life a living hell for you... But I want to start over and... yeah... I was wondering if you would like to come to a party that I'm throwing this weekend? It was out of habit what I said earlier. I'm sorry I shouldn't have. That's why Ace left when I gestured to him. He knew I actually came here to invite you and try make amends. Old habits die hard ya know...? "

He sounded truly genuine and I stared at him in disbelief. For the first time ever my face betrayed me and showed my absolute disbelief and confusion.

"It would be great if you and Carrie could make it. I would really like to prove to you that I want to change... And again I am sorry for the whole faggot comment... It just came out before i could stop myself.." He rubbed his neck and looked to me for a response.

I glanced over at Carrie and saw the plea in her eyes. She's always wanted to go to the high school parties but we never got invited, and when she was she turned them down because she wouldn't go without me. I owed it to her to finally give it a shot. I then looked directly into Julian's eyes and saw the sincerity behind them. Yet I had a feeling in my gut not to believe a word this troll said. Its not possible for someone to change their entire outlook on someone else over 1 weekend. It could be an elaborate trap to embarrass me. 

I stole one last glance at Ace who was no sitting a couple tables away, and the look on his faces gave it away. It was definitely a trap. He tried to hide it but I could see his lips battling not to smirk. Carrie looked towards him too and she instantly knew id decline. She gave me a small smile assuring me it was okay.

But, to her surprise, and Julian's, I chose a much different approach. Saying words i never thought would come out my mouth while speaking to this dousche.

"Sure buddy! A fresh start sounds great! And as a fresh start, if it makes you happy, it makes me happy too. Can I bring anything to the party? Just name it and ill bring it through!" I gave my most convincing smile and tossed my arm over his shoulder. I chuckled at the look Carrie gave me as I pulled Julian closer to me.

He stared at me, shocked but pleased to hear my response, wrapping his arm around me too. "Really??? You will come??? For real for real??" He sounded genuinely excited. Damn he should become a professional actor. I nodded in response, still forcing my fake smile.

He smiled and handed me a piece of paper with the details on it and then left the table. I knew exactly what precautions to take to prevent anything they have planned from happening. Besides, I've always wanted to do my makeup and look hella slay! My god I'm so gay....

I turned towards Carrie and closed her open mouth while she was gawking at me. "You're gonna catch flies if you keep sitting there like that you silly goose. Keep it closed before you choke on one."

"YOU AGREED!!?? What if they are just playing you!? What if its a trap!? I mean I do really want to go but Lucy! What in the hell!? You saw Ace's face! Its definitely a trap!" she exclaimed shaking me like crazy.

I chuckled and waited for her to calm down before telling her my plans to make sure nothing happens. She smirked and punched my shoulder softly. Well her softly still kind of hurt.

"That's a great idea! We are going to have soo much fun! Lets invite the rest of the gang and tell them the plans. Those jerks are going to be so surprised if they attempt to do anything. Its gonna be priceless!"

I burst into laughter seeing how enthusiastic she was and we continued eating as the rest of our group joined us.

Small talk flew across the table, but I was too lost in my own mind to pay any attention to any of it. The only thing on my mind was the one thing I wished I wouldn't think of. Julian. Why did he seem so sincere as if he was being truthful... And why did my body feel so electric from the slight touch... and now so empty without it...

How could a simple touch from a person that brought me so much pain make have this effect on me!? Why do I wish his perfect lips were on mine, kissing me deeply!? Have I developed a crush on my bully? I'm not THAT cliché of a gay am I?

I should be repulsed by his touch and gagging at the thought of kissing him, yet I want more... I NEED more.....

What the fuck is going on with me?!
