Frozen for some reason, I just stood by the door frame causing him to chuckle. He let go of the chair and walked over to me.
"I'll take these", he offered, taking the clothes from my arms. "I'm going to put them in the wash, don't go anywhere", he spoke, stepping around me and walking down the hall.
I exhaled deeply and held my hands in front of my body, waiting for him to come back.
I began to lean on my heels to my toes and back for a few seconds until I felt two hands place themselves onto my shoulders leading to a loud screech to come from me.
"Calm down chica", he voiced, his breath tickling my ear."It's me", I could hear the laugh in his voice.
"Exactly", I muttered, crossing my arms over my chest. "Come on", he chuckled, moving his hands down to my waist and pushing me towards the table.
He let go of me once we got there and pulled out a chair, nodding his head to it as if to tell me to take a seat.
Well then, I guess chivalry isn't dead.
I sat down and smiled with gratitude as he walked to the seat across from me and took a seat.
He placed his elbows on the table and laid his chin on his palms as he watched me with a cheeky grin.
Unable to keep his stare, I looked down at my lap and began to play with my fingers.
The silence went on for about two minutes when he finally decided to break it.
"So about today", he started, lifting his fork.
"Yeah?", I responded, picking up mine and stabbing some macaroni and placing it in my mouth.
"Um, I don't know where to start", he laughed awkwardly.
I swallowed what was in my mouth before speaking again. "What is your name?", I asked.
"Lucas, Lucas Ward, now I know what your first name is but what's your whole name", he retorted, forking some mac and cheese into his mouth.
"Veronica Mae Moore", I answered. "Age?".
"Twenty four, you?", he asked.
"Twenty two", I smiled. "Who's Ezra", I questioned.
"Best friend since elementary".
"Ah", I nodded, stuffing more food into my mouth.
"So about today", he started again before the front door opened and Ezra walked in.
"So who was that hottie, if you don't take her, I think I'm going to have to go for her", his voice boomed as he stripped off his leather coat and threw it on the counter before going into the fridge and pulling out a bottle of water.
Giggling silently, I placed my hands under my thighs and watched Lucas cover his mouth with the back of his hand to keep from laughing.
"No man, I think I'm gonna keep her", he said, winking at me causing me to grin and roll my eyes. Ezra turned around most likely to respond and his eyes widened at the sight of me at the table.
He swallowed hard and cleared his throat.
"Hey", I mock saluted at him with two fingers.
"Um, Hi".
