Who Made Me A Princess Oneshots

in your next life ; chapter 13

  Lucas's face was flushed- his eyes widened, mouth agape. But to my dismay, no signs of happiness.

  It was complete shock.

  I could feel the instant regret hit me- a little prick to the heart but at the same time, I felt as if a huge rock was taken out from my chest.

  "Y-You don't have to give me a reply," I stuttered under my breath, feeling the heat well up in my eyes as I looked down. "I'm sorry to have shocked you, though."

  I tried to smile- with the best of my ability as I looked up to him, the breezy night's wind pushing his locks to the side as the grey clouds could be seen- thunder beginning to crackle. I was wondering again- what was my expression? Was it scared? Frightened? Perhaps hurt?

  But to me, it didn't matter. I could confess my feelings a thousand times- and even if he felt differently, I'd stay with these feelings. For a moment, our eyes met, but he turned away once again.

  "Take your time, okay?" I tried to sound cheery as I could. "I just thought I wanted to let you know my new discovery," I giggled. Giggled. At a time like this.

  I took a step back, turning away and ready to sprint my heart away- ready to pour all my emotions out. The crackling got louder- and the raindrops came falling down, the incessant sound of tapping on the hard, concrete path.

  Before I knew it, we were both drenched.

  "I'll get going, then," I raised my voice by several decibels to be heard over the rain. It felt nice- cooling. The freedom to cry, because no one would be able to tell either. I started to move- or at least, I thought I did.

  My feet were stood rooted- I felt paralysed. Was it be fear? By shock? By the overwhelming regret I felt for myself? Or the relief that I'd finally let my feelings out. But even so, through the booming thunder and pouring rainfall, I heard metal clanking. The sound echo of it was stuck in my head as I felt arms wrap around me.

  Was I relieved to see Lucas, clad in his hoodie as he put his uniform over my head, holding me close. Even through my salty tears- I could sense that familiar scent of cocoa and strawberry. "Let me take you to shelter first," he whispered.

  In that moment, it felt as if nothing else mattered. All I could see was him. His glowing, ruby red orbs as in the blink of an eye, we'd ended up at my house's gateway. "You should go in."

  The relief felt a little misleading. After all, he did not mention a word about anything I said.

  "Actually," I rubbed my puffy, swollen eyes as I spoke. "Just- take it I didn't say a word."

  "It really, doesn't matter..."

  I avoided his puzzled gaze once again. The stabs to the heart felt a little excruciating. How ironic.

  But what he did next was something I'd never expect.

  I felt a hand grab onto my wrist, the rain still tapping endlessly on my drenched self and wet locks of blonde hair. Lucas pulled me to face him, before landing his hands on my face instead.

  He leaned down, pressing his lips onto my cold, chapped ones. My heart skipped a beat- my hands were trembling the more I thought of it as he pulled away, blushing and raking a hand through his hair. "You know I'm not good with words, right?"

  His sheepish smile caught my gaze immediately. "I-I know," I was still flustered, but I did it anyway. I hooked my arms around his neck, tip-toeing to return his kiss. This one was longer- as if I were able to pour our every emotion I could.

  If this was a dream, I wished to never wake up. The rain was still pouring- the tears still streaming down my tear-stained cheeks. Lucas rubbed a finger gently, against my cheeks. "I didn't say it, did I?"

  "I like you too."

  Lucas's arms were wrapped around me, and even though it was cold enough as ice to be out in the pouring rain, his embrace felt like a warm blanket enveloping me.

  But even so, all dreams do come to an end- but I was happy that maybe, it could continue once I woke up.

  Everything started to get blur as I felt my legs fail me, the sounds of tapping rain got louder and my body went weak and my vision.

  Went blank.

•••

My eyes lifted meekly to realise I was on the couch, literally, plastic sheets below me and one warm blanket hugging me tight. I could feel the overwhelming heat from my blanket- or at least, from my body. I was never one with a strong immune system- and I must have passed out from the rain.

"Up so soon, Athy?" Lucas rested his head on his hand. "I called your dad, he said to stay with you until he's home."

I was shocked- my dad would never unless in a situation where he didn't have a choice. But I was happy. "You should take a shower, though," Lucas suggested. I agreed- I was soaking wet as I got up, wobbling and quivering when I finally got to the washroom.
