I like the bad boy... - COMPLETED -

Chapter 16

The way he's looking at me nearly kills me. He hasn't said anything yet and I know it's only been like a minute since I confessed my feelings but it feels like an eternity. The entire time he has been looking me in the eye with this look that I can't describe.

"I don't know what to say." He confesses after a couple of seconds.

"That's okay." I force out of my mouth trying to lean back so I create some distance between us. I say try because Lucas won't let me instead he pulls me closer until there's only a couple of inches between us.

"I said I don't know what to say so let me show you what I feel." He leans further in closing the distance entirely. I stop breathing as I feel his lips touch mine. It's a soft kiss full of tenderness and no pressure at all and yet the kiss says all the things Lucas can't say.

It takes me a second to realize Lucas is really kissing me before I kiss him back. That's all the motivation Lucas needs to intensify our kiss. We go from a soft, sweet kiss to a passionate, breath-taking kiss.

When our kiss ends we're both out of breath and as Lucas leans his forehead against mine I feel a content smile slipping on my face. We're both panting and for everything that counts this is our first kiss and not the one at the race on Friday.

"Now that I've done that I'll try to explain why I like you." He starts and I can already feel a blush spreading because he said that he liked me.

"I like the way you see the good in everyone. I guess that's the reason why I can't really be mean to you. I tried to be so you would stay away from me so I can't influence you in a bad way. When I succeeded in pushing you away I immediately regretted it and I did everything to get you to like me again because I already missed you." I can feel my heart beat faster with every word he says and he isn't done yet.

"I wanted to show you that there's a caring side about me. That's one of the things that made me cook the first time for you a couple of days ago. The moment I saw you standing at my door on Friday I wanted to give you a hug because I could feel my heart breaking seeing you so sad. And it felt so weird because I couldn't figure out why I felt so strongly about it and when we talked before the race Friday I started to understand my feelings but I didn't want to accept them yet." I can feel tears gathering because his words are just so beautiful.

"I'm afraid of what you make me feel because honestly I've never felt this way about anyone. It started before I even talked to you. I always noticed you whenever you entered a room or every time you were at your locker and I would just get a glimpse of you. I'm only now realizing just how much I wanted to get to know you. I admit at first I thought of you as someone I wanted to do. I still want to just so you know." He grins and I feel my blush getting bigger and my tears are really about to fall.

"That's until I heard you laugh and saw the smile on your face. I know the exact moment when I decided of you as something more than a sextoy. You were standing at your locker and one of the guys said something that made you laugh so hard everyone turned around to look at you guys. When you noticed everyone looking you started to blush and I thought you looked cute. And that's the moment I realised I wanted to get to know you." I feel a tear escape my eyes as his speech goes on.

"I started to watch you and I noticed the guys turning away a lot of guys just by looking at them and you didn't even notice it. That's when I decided that I would never stand a chance with you so when I had to talk to you in geography I made sure to be a jerk so you would hate me and I wouldn't be tempted to talk to you again." He explains and I can't stop myself from interrupting his beautiful speech.

"Here I was thinking you were a jerk because you like to be and now I find out it was because you were afraid you weren't good enough? I don't know why I came to you on Friday but I'm glad I did because Friday was - for me - the moment where I really started to see you for who you are. The rest of the weekend only confirmed how much I was right about you being a good guy." I know my words aren't as beautiful as his but I want him to know how much I think of him as a great guy.
