Chapter 60: Chapter 60

***

Lucas lay on the couch with me lying on top of him as we chatted and laughed. We were officially a couple and I was darn happy about it. He was my boyfriend and best friend.

"Hahaha, what did you do?" I giggled, my face buried in his neck.

"I couldn't do anything. I was so embarrassed. Gosh, I'm more than glad that that part of my life is over with." he mused.

He had me wrapped warmly in his arms.

"I imagine the shame." I replied, amused.

"Horrible. But that's over now."

"Yeah..."

We lay quiet for a while until I began to trail soft kisses on the side of his neck. Why was it only now that I realised how much I loved him and everything about him! His scent, his skin! I'd refused to admit it a long time ago.

I kissed him softly.

"I hope this isn't some dream." he murmured and I giggled.

"No, it's not."

"I'm so lucky." he mused and I laughed. Lucas still had that funny attitude which I loved.

"We both are."

I lifted my head up to face him. He caressed my cheek and brought me down to kiss him.

At that moment, my door flung open and my mom walked in. Lucas and I immediately got up from the couch. My mother stared in surprise and I couldn't help it but be amused. Lucas was clearly nervous though.

"Um good morning, ma'am." he managed to greet.

"Mmmhm. Good morning young man I caught smooching with my daughter." my mom replied, closing the door behind her. Lucas looked at me and I laughed.

"Mom this is Lucas. The good friend of mine I told you about."

"Oh, the famous Lulu. How come I just caught you kissing him?" my mom asked.

"Well, we got together this morning." I smiled at her.

"Oh really?" she turned to Lucas and stretched a hand out. He shook it. "You're welcome."

"Th– thank you, ma'am."

"Alright Harlem, I'll be in my room if you need me." she said.

"Okay, momma."

My mother left us. I turned to Lucas and laughed

"You should've seen your face!"

"I had a mini heart attack, I swear. Your mom's quite cool."

"She is with you cuz I told her a lot about you and how you were of great help to me back in Greenwill. She wasn't as kind with King when I began dating him."

"Oh, cmon. You can't compare me to King." he teased and I laughed.

"Right. You're way better."

That afternoon, Lucas, Yazz and I went to the mall. I needed to find shoes for my super chic Vera Wong dress!

Of course Lucas insisted on buying for me but I refused. He'd spoiled me more than enough.

We went through different boutiques in the mall. But found none that was good enough. Anyway, we still found a good dress and some shoes for Yazz.

"How bout we stop for a snack before going on with the search?" I proposed.

"Right!" Yazz quickly replied and we laughed.

"My treat." Lucas added.

"Okay."

We found a McDonald restaurant on one of the mall's floors. We went in and sat down.

"Lemme go order for y'all. What would you like to eat?" Lucas asked. We have our orders and he went to stand in line with the few other people.

"So you guys are a couple? Wow! At last." Yazz laughed.

"Yeah. Still seems a little unreal."

"Keep him, girl. You got yourself a rare one."

"I know right." I turned to look at Lucas who was already ordering.

"Girl, are you seeing that?" Yazz asked amused.

"Seeing what??"

"The girl behind the counter, taking orders."

I turned to see the girl acting flirtatiously and all smiley with Lucas.

"Yeah, so?" I asked amused.

"So you gonna let her flirt with your new boo?" she teased.

"Don't worry. She's no competition."

"You're the best."

We both laughed.

Lucas soon returned with the snacks and we all ate.

That night, after eating a good meal prepared by my mom, we sat in front of the TV for a good movie. Apart from my mom who went to bed early.

As we watched, I got up and went to the kitchen to serve myself. Lucas soon showed up behind me.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"I'm here to propose something to you." he whispered. I turned him.

"Yes, sir?"

"I'll be sleeping in the living room and I was hoping you wouldn't mind keeping me company until I fall asleep."

I smiled teasingly at him and he chuckled.

"Hm,why do you need me? You can sleep on your own right?" I teased.

"You have your ways." he smirked as he caressed my arms.

"Hm, no I don't know what you're talking about." I continued to tease him.

"Harl, you're impossible." he groaned out and I laughed.

"What? Be clear. I don't know what you're talking about."

He looked at me and I stared back at his cute face.

He then approached me some more and held my face.

"Fine. You win. I want to make love to you. Again and again and again. Every night. Over and over until you're sore. Is that clear enough?"

Hell yes!

"Oh, yes." I hissed.

He chuckled and I joined him.

"Hope I didn't scare you."

"No. You turned me on."

He smiled like a happy kid and I couldn't help it but laugh.

"But we'll have to be as silent as possible. Wouldn't want my momma getting up and catching us on the couch. Oh my gosh."

"That'll be bad." he laughed.

"Yup. Now let's go finish that movie."

"Okey."

*

We finished watching our movie at midnight. Yazz and I got up.

"Goodnight, Lulu." we both said. Of course I wasn't going to sleep. I was gonna return.

"Goodnight, girls."

"Lemme go get your covers." I added.

"Okay. I'm waiting."

Yasmin and I went to my room. I got undressed and wore my tiny night gown. I then took some covers.

"Um, lemme go give these covers." I told Yazz. She turned to me with an odd smile.

"Yeah, right. I wasn't born yesterday, baby. I know you just as much as you know me. Go do your boyfriend." she said casually and I laughed.

"You know me maybe too well."

"It's life honey."

I left the room and went to join Lucas.

"I almost waited too long." he joked and I smiled.

"Well, here I am now."

Lucas stood up and went to switch off the lights, leaving us in total darkness.

I waited for him to return until I felt him wrap his arms around me from behind. He began to trail soft kisses on my neck. I leaned back into his touch.

He then let me go and I felt his hands on my night gown. Slowly, he lifted it above my head till it was out.

He then let his hands down on me. He began to caress my body.

"You're naked??" he asked in a husky whisper.

"You should be too..."

"Help me then."
