Misfit

Chapter Eighteen

Allison's P.O.V

Lucas pushed me inside a lonesome warehouse. The place was dark and eerie.

I squinted my eyes as all the lights were turned on. After adjusting to the brightness, I looked over to Lucas who has his hand over the light switch.

"Look around" He quietly said and smiled softly.

I turned around and gasped in awe. We were in a photo studio. The cream coloured walls are adorned by remarkable photographs. Each placed inside a classy frame.

I walked towards the photos and lightly caressed the glass frames in admiration.

I paused infront of a breathtaking picture. A boy and a little girl watching the sunset.

"That's me and Issa, taken a few years back in Hawaii."

I turned around and watched as Lucas stared at the framed picture. I smiled at him and moved along. Looking around for more photographs. walking past wedding and birthday portfolios, I stopped infront a black and white picture of a baby girl.

"That's Mae." Lucas slung an arm over my shoulder and gazed at the picture infront of us

Mae was a beautiful young girl. Chubby cheeks, bright eyes and dark curly hair. She was holding a teddy bear in the picture. Her smile making me feel happy.

"She's beautiful." I whispered.

"I know." He smiled. pride was radiating off him.

"Let me show you something." he added and pulled me towards a swirly staircase. He pushed open a small door and we ducked through it.

We were in the rooftop, the sunset coming in to view. Hectares of corn fields stretching as far as i could see.

I turned around to see Lucas struggling with our McDonalds take-outs. I quickly wallked towards him and took some bags in my hand. Yes, we bought a lot so don't judge!

"Go put it on the side, im gonna go back down and grab the blankets and pillows." He patted mu head and went down.

I placed the bags on the side and waited for him to get back.

About two minutes later, he came back holding a thick blanket and a bunch of pillows in his hand.

We settled everything and i layed on top of the comfy pillows, giggling as I bounced a little.

"So who owns this place?" I asked as a twisted my body to face him.

"My dad. Though he doesn't want me here because he's afraid that I might trash the place or something." He laughed.

"So we basically broke in?" He nodded and stayed silent.

I laid on my back and stared at the darkening sky. Stars appearing each abd every passing minute. Comfortable silence enveloping us.

"This is nice." Lucas broke the ice.

"You know, just laying here. Looking at the stars." He added quietly.

"Yeah, it really is." I smiled at him. He reached out to me and patted his chest. Implying that i should lay there. The bubbling sensation in my stomach is evident right now.

I obliged and scooted closer to him and layed my head on his toned chest,

"So how are you goig to spend your Christmas break?" I asked him as I reached for my cheese burger.

"We're flying to California on Thursday. We'll be visiting my Granparents." He replied while munching on his fries. I just nodded.

I felt his fingers lightly caressing my hair. He took off my ponytail and started combing my hair. And because of the relaxing sensation and the exhaustion taking over my body, I was out like a light.
