Under His Command

Chapter 8

I couldn't believe my eyes.

Here I was in an expensive car with the world's youngest multi-millionaire with his lips pressed against mine.

To be honest I didn't want this spectacular moment to end, but my foolish self pulled away from his soft grip on my lips. I stared at him in shock.

"I... I... I'm so... sorry." he stuttered 

"Let me take you home" He said trying to be generous.

HA HA HA like I could go home right now when the police are still looking for me. "I'm a runaway criminal remember?" I said

"Oh yeah hehehe so um where do you want to go?" he asked.

"Let's go to your house." I said foolishly, I regretted saying those words as soon as his face expression changed. It went from generous to utter confusion.

"Um okay.... I guess?" He said stuttering.

Wow he sounded so confident before. I think I just reduced his manliness. OMG is that even possible?!?!?!

Well with the Goodson's everything is possible. We are a very persuasive family. That's why my dad has a really large company and majors in business, but he left my mom and I a couple years ago. What a jerk. He said it was best for the family. Yeah some family ya got here.

So as we pulled out of the parking lot of the fancy restaurant 1,000 questions raced through my mind. What have I done?!?!?!

I just invited myself into his house after what just happened a couple minutes ago. I was just asking for more trouble.

Why did my life have to be so complicated? I could have avoided all of this if I had just went to the casino after school, but my urgent need for money took over my conscious.

Lucas's POV

Did she just ask to go to my house? This is getting more serious than I had expected it to be. I don't even know how her sentences just control my every thought.

I use to be all confident and powerful, but when she came along my whole world changed its like I can't even say a sentence without stuttering.

As I continued to drive I remembered something she told me something that made my face drain color. She went to Lukeman High School.

I couldn't remember all the details, but something was bothering me.

I drove past the gate into my mansion and parked behind the fountain. I saw Haliey's expression change with every step we took.

"Wow this place is pretty cool!" she said with amusement

"Yea I know" I answered

Really Lucas get it together! Yea I know?!?!?! What a great move Lucas. I got to the front door and opened it.

"Here we are" I said sounding like a tour guide

 Her jaw dropped to the floor. LITERALLY. I really didn't see the big deal about a big house. The one I have in California is wayyy bigger, but to her this was like heaven.

As I showed her around the mansion we got to the gambling room. Before I could say a word she was already setting up a poker game. I sat down on the high stool.

"Call $100" she said 

I brought out $100 from my pocket. I was a bit of a gambler myself, but I had no idea what I was getting into.
