The After Effect

Chapter 25

Maya P.O.V

Josh grabbed my face and smashed his lips against mine. I stood rigged and my eyes widened further in surpise.

I finally snapped out of it and pushed him backwards. "What the fuck you doing Josh?"

Josh scrunched his face and had a look filled with confusion. "Maya what do you mean?"

"She means what the fuck are you doing Josh." I heard Lucas say with pure venom dripping from his voice. Like he was a snake ready to poison Josh.

Josh turned to Lucas with confusion, than he looked between us and understanding took his features, that was soon replaced with complete irritation. "You have got to be kidding me!" He yelled out as his hands grips his hair, out of complete frustration.

He than gave a humourless laugh. "So when did this happen?"

Lucas chooses this moment to come forward and wrap a possessive hand around my waist. "Many many many weeks ago...some might even say months." He said with a glare.

Josh shot Lucas a glare of his own. "Thst promise you and I made seems more impossible as the days tick by." Josh said looking at me.

Referring to when we were at the skiing trip and promised each other one day we would finally date.

I bit my lip and gave Josh a sincere look. "I am so sorry Josh...but I don't think that promise will ever be fulfilled."

Josh's jaw clenched, he looked between Lucas and I. "Cause of him right?"

I nodded. "I am sorry, but I-just-he is my soulmate."

Josh looked pained, he than slowly nodded. "I get it...I was too late and I hope cowboy here would figure out his feelings for you much later. But I see my mistake now."

He then started to slowly back away. He than turned around, gave me a smile over his shoulder. "But I am never giving up on that promise."

Lucas's jaw clenched beside me, he looked about ready to rip off Josh's head. Josh then gave one last glare to Lucas and officially turned and left.

Lucas turned to me with a look of anger. "The hell was he doing here!?"

"I don't know he just dropped by and I assumed it was you until he just-"

"Kissed you!" Lucas bellowed, he was completely ticked off anymore with or without eyes could see it, sense it in the atmosphere it was intense.

"Yeah Lucas he kissed me! But I didn't kiss him back you saw that." I said with anger.

Lucas scoffed. "I don't know what I saw."

My face scrunched into hurt and pain. I can't believe him right now! Yes he does. It was obvious I didn't want Josh kissing my lips.

"Yes you do!" I grabbed Lucas's faces gently and turned him to look at me, I then whispered in a softer tone. "Yes you do."

He shook his head. "What was that promise he was talking about?" Lucas's eyes were shut tight, almost as though he feared him opening them would result in the end of the world.

"Its not important." I shook my head.

"Then tell me." He whispered.

I shook my head. Remembering his eyes were still closed. I caressed his cheek reassuredly. "Theres honestly no point in telling you, you just going to get angry."

"Maya. Tell me." His eyes finally snapped open to look at me with anger, sadness, vulnerability. The stare alone was just so intense. I almost felt the need to step back and step forward at the same time, not being entirely sure which one to go with.

I sighed. And closed my eyes. I then opened them and looked into his gorgeous eyes. "We promised each other that in the future we might just finally get together one day. It was like a what if promise."

He nodded his head, jaw clenching. "What did you make this promise?"

"That ice skiing trip we all took."

"You mean when you starting pushing me towards Riley?"

"I-"

Lucas scoffed and backed up looking completely broken. "Is that why you pushed me towards her? Were you holding out for him?"

I shook my head. "No God no! Lucas." I then rushed forward and grabbed his face once again I then smashed our lips together, he didn't kiss back immediately. He was hesitating. God why is he hesitating? I bit his lip, he groaned and kissed back letting his tongue explore my mouth.

I pulled away and looked into his eyes, our foreheads resting on each others. "That. That was me being afraid shitless. Afraid of the love I felt for you...besides I thought I-I didn't want to cause any more problems so I thought the easiest way to deal with this was to get you and Riley to get together despite myself."

Lucas shook his head and gave me a smile. It was his turn to grab my face. "That was always be my worst moment in the history of my entire life. I hated every minute of not being with you and the fact that you didn't want to cause problems so you let yourself hurt made me both love you more and want to strangle you for not being selfish for one second."

I laughed. He wiped the small tear that walked down my cheeks, as though it was strolling in the sun. "Promise me something?"

"Anything huckleberry?"

"Promise me, it will be you and me forever."

I smiled. "Mmh I don't know seems like a pricey promise." Lucas shook his head and laughed he then picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.

I laughed. "Okay Ranger Rick put me down!" Lucas smacked my ass.

"I am not putting you down until you promise me."

Now you see have two options promise him something I was already determined to have happen or mess with him. And honestly I was extremely conflicted on which option to choose.

Smack

"Lucas!" I screeched as he smacked my ass again.

"Promise me!" He yelled.

I stayed quite. I will win this round.

Smack

The only problem with him smacking my ass, is not only does it sting, but I am slightly turned on right now.

Smack

"Huckleberry. Stop in the name of my ass."

"Your ass is mine and since its named Friar I believe it would like me to continue until you promise me what I want you to promise me."

God he is so hot. Fuck.

"Nope."

"Well then." Smack

"I am not going to surrender."

Smack

Okay I am considering surrendering but only so that I can take of his clothes.

"Promise me."

"I promise." I could practically hear his smirk. He smacked my ass again however.

"What do you promise?"

"I promise that it is you and me for all eternity."

Smack

"Good, now I don't know about you, but I would love to take all your clothes of with my teeth." I moaned

"I will take that as a you would like that?" Lucas said as he put me down, kissing my neck.

I grabbed his shirt and smashed our lips together once again, moaning in his mouth as he groaned.
"Stop talking and take me to the bedroom." I said breathless looking into Lucas's lust filled eyes.

He opened the door to my apartment and closed the door behind us, carrying me to the bedroom, where he threw me on my bed and started unbuttoning his shirt.

Am I a lucky woman or what?
