Intertwined

Chapter 20: Watch and learn

Lucas's P.o.V.-

Today has already been one of the best birthdays I have ever had. After I do my signature move to Anastasia, I walk down the road to my house. I walk in and find a card on the bar. I open it shocked to see a birthday card addressed me. The bottom is signed by Danica Stone. My mom. The card is blank other than the generic words prewritten in the card and her signature. My dad walks out of his room drunkenly.

"She sent that in the mail for you." he says.

"I noticed." I say.

He grumbles before grabbing a beer and heading back to his room. I observe him for a second before heading to my room. He is everything I strive not to be. But sometimes I understand him; to him alcohol is the only constant in his life. He just got so lost he forgot about me. The night goes by quickly and when I wake I take a quick shower and change into my semi-casual clothes. I post the party details on my instagram and I make sure to send them to Bryan to really get the message around. I would much rather not have a big party, or a party at all for that matter but whatever it takes to make that lovely girl smile. I go back into the bathroom to fix up my hair and put some extra deodorant on. I glance over my face; the gash on my forehead is a minor cut now. I decide to text An and tell her I am ready so I can spend some time with her before the chaos starts. She answers pretty quick, saying I can help take the groceries in with a winky face. I chuckle, this girl has me eating in lunch detention for a week. My stupid ass, she probably wouldnt have gotten into much trouble anyways. It isnt long before she texts me that she is outside. I go out the door to walk down my long ass drive way only to find her right at my steps with her car talking to Connor. Connor. I hurry down the steps not caring that she is finally seeing my shitty home.

"Hey man." I say talking to Connor.

"And hello to you too, bitch." Anastasia remarks.

I try to laugh but all I can help but notice is how Connor is looking her up and down. Checking her the fuck out. And she is absolutely oblivious to it.

"Well we should probably get going Connor." I say hoping Anastasia wont argue.

"He's right. You should come to our party tonight, its for Lucas's birthday!" she says.

She is so fucking cute. But she has just mega fucked up, because with Connor comes trouble.

"That's actually why I came by, happy birthday Lucas. And I would love to go where is it at?" Connor says.

"Thanks man." I say through gritted teeth.

"Here's my address." she says handing him a card with her number and address on it.

Her number.

"We should really get going though." I say pointing at my watch.

"Well nice meeting you Connor." Anastasia says sweetly.

I get in her car as soon as I tell Connor bye. Once she gets out my driveway I automatically question her as to why the hell she pulled up my driveway.

"An, why did you go up my driveway, I told you specifically to pick me up at the road." I exclaim.

"I didn't want you to have to walk all the way out there, I am sorry." she says innocently.

"It's fine its just my house is a mess and I didnt want you to run into people like my buddy Connor." I say.

"I dont care what your house looks like Lucas, and Connor seemes like a nice dude." she says.

"He is a good dude, he just doesnt make the best choices." I say with a sigh.

"Okay well it was probably not the best idea I invited him to your party." she says dissappointed.

She was just trying to make me happy. It is all she has been trying to do all day.

"No of course not. He would never cause trouble for me. He is like a brother to me." I say.

She smiles. And my heart melts. I had put the card from my mom in the pocket of my leather jacket, with intention to go to the address after the party with Anastasia. When we arrive at her house in a very short thirty minutes of laughter and dancing. I go to the back and pop the trunk, and take out a large load of groceries leaving her with only two bags of chips.

"Okay there, muscle man." she jokes.

I laugh as a responce and place the groceries on the counter. I remove them from the bags and lay everything out.

"You want me to put the chips in bowls?" I ask.

"Yeah, there are some chip and dip bowls in the far right cabinet next to you." she tells me.

I do as she says and place the chips and dip into the bowls. Meanwhile she goes upstairs to get ready. I set out the cups and drinks. I put BYOB (bring your own beer) on the invite note if anyone wanted any. When she comes down her stairs I am blown away by how gorgeous she looks. She is in a light yellow sundress with hightop converse. The first bit of her hair is pulled back with a flower bow. There are long dangley tiny star earrings hanging from her ears and a matching star necklace. It all fits together so perfectly, especially on her.

"Wow." I say.

She looks up at me and blushes.

"You are stunning." I add.

"Why thank you." She says still blushing.  

"Anytime." I say with a wink.

"Now its party time!" she squeals while dancing like a maniac.

And I laugh.
