After an 11-minute drive, I arrived at Lucas's breathtaking mansion. "Holy fuck," I whispered.
A guard approached my car. "Who are you and why are you here?"
"I'm Mia, here to see Lucas for our project."
The guard intercommed Lucas, who replied, "Send her in."
Lucas helped me with my guitar. "Hi, your house is huge!"
"Yeah, my friends live here too – Ariana, Alex, Alexa, Josiah, Jonathan, Noah, and Justin. Our parents agreed."
We practiced in the music room for 1.5 hours, then headed to Lucas's room.
"Who was your latest boyfriend?" Lucas asked.
I hesitated. "Mikah. I broke up with him when I caught him with my ex-best friend Brianna. I spent a month locked in my room."
Lucas's expression softened. "I'm your friend now. I'll never hurt you."
Our eyes locked, and I saw him gaze at my lips. I leaned in, our lips touching. Lucas deepened the kiss, and I straddled him.
But reality struck, and I quickly broke away, gathering my things.
"I have to go," I said, rushing downstairs.
I sped home, shaken. Please don't let Lucas tell anyone.
At home, I avoided my mom and went straight to bed.
The next morning, my phone buzzed – Lucas.
Convo:
Lucas: Hey, sorry about yesterday
Mia: What are you sorry for?
Lucas: Everything
Mia: No need to apologize
Lucas: Can I see you today?
Mia: I don't know
Lucas: Please?
