You

Chapter Thirty Two

Chapter Thirty Two• Epilogue Part Three

Lucas had driven us an hour away from where my house was. It was getting darker out and I felt like someone had already figured out our missing absence. I didn't even know where we where till he pulled into a familiar driveway. The party house.

"Why are we here?' I asked, confused as he got out of the car. Before I could open my door, he opened it for me. He reached for my hand as we walked towards the back of the house. The path that led to the woods was now bright as day. I was sick of the snow.

I slipped off my heels halfway through the walk and lifted up my dress walking down the path. As we walked longer the path was paved with rose petals, dropped so carefully. "Lucas what's all this?" I asked once more. He just smirked and kept walking.

Further into the woods, the tree house stood and the rose petals stopped. I looked up towards him and he smiled gesturing for me to climb the ladder.

I climbed and waited for him behind me as he took his tie off of his tux.

I don't think I told you how sexy, this man looked in a tux. It was beyond me how someone could look that good. It fit him so well, his muscles popped just right and if he happened to flash you with a smile at the same time? Your panties would melt off.

His tie rested in his hands and he smiled before wrapping it over my eyes. I laughed as he tied it around the back of my head. "Is this absolutely necessary?"

"Of course, I'm nothing without surprises."

Once he finished the tie He gripped my hands in his and opened the little door. The smell of cherry and vanilla hit. It smelled amazing,so fresh. I felt him stop in front of me and he untied his tie.

I opened my eyes and gasped, candles were lit all over, it was the only light in the entire space. Their was a basket filled with sweets on the floor right beside the mattress. The mattress was now filled with pillows, and the fluffy blanket from the last time covered it.

"What is all this?" I asked finally looking at him.

"Well today was six months from when I confessed how I felt for you. I didn't know you would ever, we would ever, turn into something so amazing Arianna. I didn't know that I could love you so much more than I did that day, but I do. I love you more and more as the days pass." He answered, exhaling he looked at the space around him. He had to be impressed. I was more than impressed.

"I love you too Lucas." I smiled and reached my arm up pulling him close. His lips met mine and I wanted to melt in his arms. He kissed so sweetly, the butterflies in my tummy had came alive.

My fingers reached up in his hair, scrunching it up in my fingers as his tongue swiped my bottom lip. Our kiss didn't stop. The only sound was the candles flame and our lips moving against each others. I had waited to have him alone for so long. We were honestly never alone, someone was always with us. I had waited six months to kiss him like this and I wasn't going to stop now.

He reached down,  lifting me by my waist as I wrapped my legs around him. His hand stayed one on my back and the other on my bum. Our lips moved faster against one another, we couldn't care less about needing a breath. We needed each other.

He walked us closer to the mattress, gently setting me down. His lips went away from mine as I pushed myself towards the back. I reached up for him as he came down to kiss me. He hovered over top, holding his weight. He went to my neck, kissing down, nibbling every patch of skin. My eyes shut with the feeling of pure ecstasy overcoming me.

Lucas pushed himself away from me and sat me up for a second, the sound of the zipper unzipping under his hold. Goosebumps overcame my skin and he noticed. Embarrassment flushed my cheeks and he kissed them, he kissed my arms, collarbone, neck and lips.

"You mean, and this means absolutely everything to me."

I pushed my lips to his and tried my hardest to show just how much it meant to me too.

--

The sounds of birds chirping woke me up, a slight breeze filled the room as I pulled more of the blanket up over my body.  My eyes were still shut but I felt the sun beating against my eyes. I wasn't fighting it though. I was happy. I wasn't a virgin but it felt like it. The way he touched me, the way he caressed my body so gently, he cared for me and kissed me in ways no other has.

My eyes finally opened with the happiness spread over my face. Everything was finally coming together. The love between Lucas and I, college, Cierra and Alex. It felt like the beginning of forever, and I wasn't mad at it.

Reaching for my phone, there was an envelope resting over top of it. It was so neatly sealed, my name signed in cursive on the front.A singular red rose lying beside it. Confused I opened it and read.

My dearest Arianna,

Thank you. Thank you for teaching me that I could love, that I could feel pain, and hurt. Thank you for reminding me to stay humble and true to myself. Thank you for showing me your love, every single part. You showed me my heart, something that even my first love couldn't have. Thank you for being my best friend.

You taught me to go for the gold in my life and that's what I've decided to do. Stanford, my first acceptance is my dream and I've decided to follow it. Thank you for everything that you've done for me Arianna. I'll never forget you. I love you forever, but it's time for me to leave.

xx~Lucas
