LIE

Chapter 51

At school I tried to act normal. Evie was suspicious; like she didn't trust Indra. I kind of think she thinks he did something to me -- which he didn't.

I need to talk to him though. I want to make sure I mean something to him.

Indra walked into me and Evie's first block. Evie was leaning over and digging through her bag. Indra walked over to our desks.

"Hi Luc." Indra greeted me. I love how he speaks to me, like I'm the only thing that matters to him. Don't give in to him just yet, Luc.

"Hi, Indra." I said sheepishly.

He began to walk around our desks, "Evie." He said with a serious and sarcastic tone when she raised her head.

"Indra." She replied with the same amount of sarcasm and seriousness.

Why are they so mad at each other?

Indra sat at the desk behind me. I tensed up and scooted up to my chest against the desk.

"I just need to talk to him and get through this day." I thought.

When we got to second block, theatre arts, I went over to Indra.

"Indra. I want to talk to you." I tried to speak firmly, but my voice shook.

He looked at me with a stern gaze.

Knowing he'd follow me, I went behind the wing of the stage and out the door leading to the art hallway.

I turned to Indra.

"What is it, darling?" He asked.

Aww.

"Don't distract me." I demanded.

He laced his fingers together and kindly asked, "what did you want to talk about?"

"Indra." I started to lower my voice. "You are an actual vampire."

"You've been around for a long time."

"Please be honest with me Indra..." I said.

"Am I just something for you to bide your time with? Do I mean anything to you?"

Indra leaned back slightly, his face showing shock.

What will he say?

"I...adore you. I always have Luc."

"I don't need to bide my time with anything. I'm with you because I want to be." Well melt my heart.

Indra took a step closer and put his hands on my shoulders. "I'll never lie to you; you have my word on that."

"But I really really do adore you." He said slowly.

"Oh...wow..." I thought. I just stared ahead not blinking.

I can't get my brain in order! It's all just key smash in here.

"Luc?" Indra called. He gave me a very small shake.

"I'm going to kiss you now. See if it'll wake you up." He kissed my forehead. I blinked. Then he kissed my nose.

I jumped, "yup! Yeah! I'm present! Here, hi!" Oh hell.

Indra chuckled and pat my cheek, "you'll be okay."

I bit my lip as I blushed.

"Would you...maybe..do that again?"

Indra smiled. "Aw. You're so cute."

He leaned in and kissed me on the lips. Once he pulled away from me I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head on his shoulder.
