Sinner's Confession

Chapter 10

Lucas sat in his room in silence. He had been thinking a lot about what Aaron had said. He wanted to ask her directly but he could not even meet her. He did not trust Aaron but there was a small percentage of him that believed in his words and that percentage was starting to grow as he thought more about it.

He kept rocking back and forth in his chair without giving a care to his two friends who had been staring at him for the past three hours. Jacob and Ryan were at his place to hang out but he was giving off a very moody vibe.

"Dude, can you lighten up a bit? Even my rainy days are not this moody."

He glared at Jacob and sulked in the corner. Everything was as usual, the days were bright and the nights were beautiful. The only difference was that he had not seen Leila ever since he got his watch repaired.

He started to ponder many things. Maybe it was because his watch was not fully repaired. Or maybe it was because he shouted his confession and Leila would made hate him now. Or was she really just toying with him? He couldn't figure out anything and it was irritating him but all he wanted was to meet her.

Since when did I become this greedy?

"I don't think she is avoiding you or anything." Ryan was obviously trying to make him feel better. But, all these questions in his head were making him feel anxious. "We would like to help if we can."

Lucas knew exactly what they meant. It had always been a mystery as to why Galaxians, except Aaron, were not allowed to visit Leila's office and she was rarely seen outside. If only he could just sneak in by teleporting without getting caught.

"That's it!" He shot up. Jacob and Ryan were shocked by his sudden actions but just watched him. He was super excited and stood in the middle of the room.

His excitement level decreased drastically as time passed by. He groaned and dropped himself onto the sofa, "Why is it not working?!"

"What are you talking about?"

He looked at them and hesitated. He thought of whether he should tell them or not. The two gave him a look, expecting an answer .

"I'm trying to teleport to Leila's place."

The two of them nodded until they realized what he actually said. "Are you nuts?! You know everyone is forbidden to go there," Jacob reminded.

"But it's been weeks since I last met her and I have questions I need to ask her."

Both of them felt sorry for him but they did not wish to see him getting into trouble. By helping him, they could also get into trouble. In worst case scenario, they would end up losing their licenses.

Lucas knew about all those but couldn't care less. He only wanted to see Leila. He knew he was being too obsessed and weird. But love at first sight exists and in his case, he was madly in love.

"I love her."

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

Lucas said it, loud enough for them to hear. That was the first time they heard about Lucas falling in love. When it comes to love, Lucas was way out of the question. And for the first time, he actually loved a person and they did not wish to let it end this way.

"Is there no other way?"

They thought hard about it but no answers were produced.

During all the mist, Jacob was being unusually quiet. Usually, he would be the loud one giving ideas and making decisions but he was being too serious.
