Hey! Welcome back. Thank you for coming to read part 4. I hope you enjoy.
"What do you call a pig that does karate?"
"Huh? C'mon! Answer."
I look at him with this half smile smirk thing going on.
"What?"
"A pork chop."
I let out a little laugh. "You never have any good jokes. Those are all dad jokes." He noticed the awkwardness between us and tried to fix it. Not really sure if that's a character trait or that's just something he's good at doing.
…
We're done with the hike and I know exactly why I came on this trip. I said earlier that I came to have fun and live a little. I-the reason I'm here with Lucas is because I want to know if his feelings for me are there. Pathetic, I know.
I figured that if it was just me and him I would notice something. Have I? No, no I have not.
"Lucas why did you really come on this trip with me?"
There's only one way to find out why he really came.
"I came beca-I came because I wanted to have fun with you." He bumps me with his elbow smiling.
I look down at my feet then back up to him. "Really, why did you come? You have tons of friends that you could be with right now and you chose to come with me, why?"
He stops walking cause we've arrived at our door.
Lucas holds the doorknob, takes a deep breathe. When he looks up his eyebrows are scrunched like he's concerned.
"What is this? I can't just want to hang out with my best friends? Why are you making this a thing Janine? We've planned this since freshman year, no we are here. What else do you want from me?"
"Oh, I just wanted to know sorry. Why'd that upset you so much?"
Lucas opens the door without answering.
Is it me that's causing him to be so angry? He's just not his usual self right now. Well I wouldn't know what his usual self is. We stopped being super close like we were in freshman year. We promised. That's the only reason we're here. Lucas doesn't break his promises.
"I'm gonna change then get some food from downstairs."
No response…
I walk out without waiting for a response after 10 seconds. He can get over his little attitude once he has calmed down.
I get my sandwich with a salad on the side. There is this nice looking man staring at me-makes me a little uncomfortable.
I look over and he's still looking but now, he's oh-he's walking over. I turn my head the other way and bite down into my sandwich. He's here. Looking at me, I eat like a fool with my mouth stuffed.
"Hey I'm Adam."
I look up very slowly, embarrassed still trying to finish what's in my mouth.
"Hey!" I wipe my hand on a napkin and shake his hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm Janine."
I stand up to notice Lucas walking over to me. He grabs my arm not forcefully, but not gentle. I look at him then to my arm, back to him.
"Who's this?" Lucas asks. "Um this is Adam, we just met."
"Okay, let's go. Get your things."
Adam is still standing there smiling-weirdo. I look at Lucas who is practically dragging me out of the hotel.
"Lucas! What the hell man my food! You're gonna have to pay for-." Lucas kisses me. He's freaking kissing me.
Wait-he's kissing me.
I pull back looking very confused. "What was that for?"
"What do you mean? I did it to save you from this so called Adam"
He didn't mean it. Of course he didn't mean it. He made it very clear he doesn't like me that way. I am pitiful to even think I could have a shot with him. This is awful.
Later that night…
I can't sleep. The kiss is still on my mind. I can't get it off my mind. I look over and Lucas is still awake.
"Hey, you up?" I know the answer, just want to talk.
"Yea I am. Hey I never apologized for how I acted in the hallway today, so sorry."
"You're always apologizing. Just don't do things you know you'll have to apologize for in the future." I turn towards him so I could see his face. "That's your second time flipping out since we've been here."
"Yea I-"
"Don't apologize."
"Right." He replied.
"What you can apologize for is kissing me down outside the lobby."
He turns to look at me.
"Do you want me to apologize for kissing you?"
"Yea-that's what I just said." I don't really want him to apologize. I want to be kissing him right now but since we're on the topic already, might as well.
He moves closer to the edge of his bed which indicates him moving closer to me.
"What if I don't want to apologize for kissing you?"
I roll my eyes and turn over-my back towards him.
