"Ah...," I exhale feeling very relieved as I enter the kitchen.It was quiet and Chloe wasn't disturbing me about, Lucas.Where is Mr. Martin, I thought.I didn't see him pass us after he enter the kitchen.I heard loud laughter outside. It sounded like a couple of elderly men laughing.I place my dirty dish into the sink. I parted the light blue kitchen curtain and peek to see what was happening outside. It was Mr. Martin and the next elderly man I saw at the house upon the hill, talking, Luca's father. They were chatting away and laughing, enjoying their conversation."Dad," I saw Lucas approaching them.Immediately, I pull back the curtain. I didn't want to see him.I got myself busy and started to wash the plates."Hah... hah...," I heard Lucas laughing and joining on their conversation as well.I started to wash the plates hurriedly, so I could get out of the kitchen and away from the noise.

My eyes met his and I froze instantly. The beauty of his bright blue eyes had so much power over me. There was something about those eyes that couldn't stop me from staring at him. Lucas stared back into my eyes. His iris enlarges capturing every part of me. No! I heard a loud shout in my head. My body was trying to get me away from his hypnotizing eyes. My body won. Immediately, I move my eyes away from his. His hands against my wrist tighten not wanting to let me go. I spin my hand repeatedly trying to free my hand from his. He let go of my hand right away and I step backward slowly while I carried my eyes back to his. I pause with my back turn to the open door and touch my wrist, his handheld tightly. "Did I hurt you?" he asks me softly. I didn't answer him. "I'm sorry," he apologizes. His apology was so sweet that it will be hard for me not to forgive him. "What do you want from me?" I ask him. I needed to know, for I was s

The side of my head hurts. I have been leaning my head against the bottom of the staircase handrail, resting. My eyes open and slowly I move my head sitting up still. I rub the side of my head getting rid of the uncomfortable feeling. My butt soon started to feel numb from sitting down on the hard step of the stairs without moving. I got up and stood still. The moment with Lucas and I outside was killing me. I need to get over it and remove every single image of him out of my head. I needed to forget the day I first met him and what had happened today. He was giving me a hard time and I need to let him go by forgetting him. I wish I never did run to his house to see if he was okay and not hurt. Lucas was fine and I had wasted my time. I detested I was soft-hearted. I curse myself for not leaving right away the time I found out he was fine, but no..., I foolishly stayed wanting to help him paint his house and look what it leads to in the end. I should have avoided it all befo

Lucas's lips slowly move away from mine. Both of his hands went straight to my face, holding each side of my face. His thumbs spread across my cheeks as we stared into each other eyes, standing very close. A beautiful smile appears on his face. His radiant smile was so contagious that I return his smile. How could I not smile with a beautiful smile like his?"I love you," he once more confesses his strong love for me."I love you too," for the first time I confess my love for him.Lucas was so happy to hear me saying my true feeling for him. A brighter smile appears on his face, and he brought his forehead to mine, gently resting it onto mine. It was cute of the moment we were both sharing. But as we did, deep down I felt doubt that this was not right. I felt like we were going against the moon goddess. The moon goddess knew everything. She was powerful and knew what was right for us, us choosing our own path together I fear that we will end up in our own destru

Chloe had gone into the shower. I stood still within the hallway facing the front door wondering what I should do. In my mind, it felt so easy running off to Lucas telling him, but doing it, it was giving me a hard time. I feel nervous confronting him after all the kisses we've shared right on the front porch. I felt my knees begin to weaken and my body trembling.You must, you need to get rid of this nervousness and see him now, I told myself strongly within my mind as I played with my fingers apprehensively. I exhale heavily and soon I was on my way to the front door opening it. I close the door behind me exiting the house. I made a right turn, walking along the side of the house. My speed increases the moment I begin to head up the hill and my heart begins to race. It races even more as I got closer to the house until I was on their front porch.My right hand slowly folded and gently I knock on the door."Dad, are you expecting any visitor," I heard Lucas's s
