Ice And Fire

We need to talk

"Well have you ever lied to me?" I asked him, as we proceeded the confession game.

The sunset was beautiful and Lucas looked gorgeous as he sat on the ground, half laying down and raking his hairs from time to time.

Where else I sat next to him, leaning on his shoulder and trying to maintain my posture as well.

He thought for a minute and then said "I don't think so. You know everything about me and I hope the same from your side." He confessed and looked away.

"So that means you never ever dated anyone before?" I asked him curiously.

"No, riles. Why are you asking all of this so suddenly." He replied and kept looking away.

"Look here Lucas." I said and he ignored. "I said look here. At me!" I shouted back at him.

Startled by my height pitched voice, he looked at me. I asked "Not even Leah?" I shot back at him.

"I am not able to get what you mean to say. Why would I date her?" He replied calmly as he sat up straight.

"Well then, Lucas we really need to talk." I replied. "I heard Leah saying that you both dated her." I said again and played the recording which had this part in it.

His colour flew away. He was way more worried and looked even tense. Every muscle in his body was ready to sail through the sea of questions and explanations.

"So you know now. I'm sorry for hiding it. I just didn't.."
"Trust me?" I cut him in between.

"Yes.. I mean no no. I just.. Oh god! It is messing up with my brain!" He sub consciously replied as he covered his head with his hands.

He calmed himself down and looked straight at me. His hazel eyes filled with fear and a sort of pain covered it.

"See, we were just seventh graders when I saw her for the first time. Like every other teenager I found her attractive. She is a nice person, only until you actually know her." He started speaking.

"In a month's time, she asked me out. I didn't knew what to do or how to respond, so I accepted it. It was good at starting, but the thing that she was overly possessive and used to irritate me like anything. She always created unnecessary fights and arguments. I was frustrated. She would even break up with me once in a while and then come back only when I tried to convince her and beg her for this relationship to continue. I was left as a mess. I was way too young for all this.

She treated me like her handbag to carry her things, brag about me and even discarded me whenever she didn't need me. It was always her and her drama and not never 'us'. I was tired but from my side I cannot say a thing to her."

"Why couldn't you say a thing to her?" I asked.

"Because I'm the handbag. And handbags don't speak." He said sarcastically and obviously I couldn't control but laugh.

"There is more. Once we went to a party and she politely asked me to click a picture with her. So I did the same as I was her handbag. Later I found that she clicked that photo so that she could make a guy jealous."
He said.

"Why would on earth she will try to make any guy jealous when she was already dating you, luc." I replied plus I didn't realise why did I call him luc.

"Well that guy was his boyfriend. I mean her second boyfriend. That is day when I dumped her. Umm.. Dumped sounds mean, so let's say I left her to live her own freaking life." Lucas replied with disgust and anger in his tone and on face.

Wow! He hates her. I got my way clear, Leah. Oh god! I am really turning into a bad girl now. Well who wouldn't. After all its Lucas.

"That is sad to hear about!" I said while I faked this whole sympathizer face. I should think about acting soon. I got it in my veins.

"I am glad that you understood." He said as he smiled.

Hey! This drama isn't over yet. It is not a fairytale after. I got to spice that up a bit, and he should also realise his first mistake.

"But you lied to me. See, you told me that you are not hiding a thing from me and plus you saw Leah doing all sorts of stuff to me and you didn't have this simple tendency to tell me about this?" I growled back at him.

He looked nervous. Nervousness and desperation are the two things that doesn't suits his face, while everything else does.

"See.. I didn't mean to. I just.." He was about to say when I cut him off and said "just what? Waiting for her to spoil my another outfit? Or waiting for me to kill her?"

"You are taking this whole thing in a wrong way. I never thought you were like this." He replied.

"I've been like this for my whole life. And you, don't even dare to change the topic." I shouted and pointed my finger on him.

He covered my finger and said "Surprise huh? Never thought a sweet girl like you can be so ferocious!"

"So its a double surprise now. I also never thought that a good boy like you would be lying to me." The words jolted back at him and we stared at each other.

Bad timing. I couldn't now control my laughing. Instead of continuing the stare I ended up laughing like a maniac.

I laid down on the grass and he couldn't help it but just smile at me.

"You are one crazy girl." He said and we started laughing.

He asked, "You still mad at me?"

"Yes I am. I will stay mad at you till.... One twenty five I. the morning." I replied.

"What! I don't get you sometimes. I couldn't complain also. Because I know that I'll never be bored around you." He confessed and stood up.

He helped me to stand up and cleaned my back and hairs.

We walked home,talking about the whole day and how awkward it went.

From Leah to window to meeting up here and laughing and yes, we had our very first fight. It was nothing like an actual fight but still let's consider it.

Everything is just so beautiful.

It should stay like this only.

It was night time and I couldn't sleep yet. I kept on rolling over my bed and occasionally stared at Lucas's home. Basically his window. I wished he was standing there.

I looked at my brand new alarm clock, which I managed to buy.
Coaxing up your dad with your cute little puppy eyes always works.

It showed one twenty four. I remember how I promised him to forgive him at one twenty five.

My phone buzzed under my pillow.

It was a video call from my handsome boy next door.

I jumped out of my bed and went into lighted part of my room and accepted the call.

"You still mad at me city girl?" He asked.
