Audrey stared dumbfoundedly at Lucas, 'he what!' She thought caught unawares by the sudden confession, Lucas looks at Audrey with anticipation, wondering what her next thought would be. He initially thought Audrey had picked the signals he had been dropping but she didn't get it, the next thing she did however frustrated Lucas even more.
Audrey stood up and ran to the cab by the curb, slightly shoving the customer who just alighted the cab and entered. The driver drove off instantly thinking that his services weren't needed anymore by his most recent customer, he was shocked to see another lady panting and drinking from the water bottle in her hand, "lakeside please!", Audrey said after drinking from her water bottle.
It took sometime for Lucas to register that Audrey had actually ran from where he was confessing his feelings, " damn it!", Lucas cursed before going back to the gym. Audrey really did a number on him, first was getting a billionaire like himself to come to a neighborhood gym, not that he felt too proud about it, he just naturally wouldn't go there since he had a gym room in the mansion.
She had him running after her, like literally chasing after her, but he didn't even mind, he would gladly do all those things to get her genuine reply. Lucas went back inside the gym and took his things, he headed towards his car, wasting no time to go to her house. He got there in no time, switching off the car engine and elegantly walking to the front door.
He rang the doorbell, signifying people who were at home that someone was at the door, Prisca looked at the wall clock when she heard the doorbell, 'wow, that was fast!', she thought before opening the door. She was shocked and disappointed at the same time, shocked because of the very handsome man looking hot in gym clothes by her doorstep and disappointed because it wasn't Audrey.
"Good morning, is Audrey home?", Lucas asked, disappointed that it wasn't Audrey who opened the door," no, no, she isn't!", Prisca replied making Lucas wonder if she was lying or not, "okay then, I'll be on my way now!", Lucas said with Prisca admiring his back as he left. He suddenly stopped and looked back, "Is it okay if you tell her when she comes back that Lucas was here!?", Lucas asked, " yes, yes, I'll do just that!", Prisca replied with only one thought in her head, "so this was the lucas she always talked about, she sure forgot to mention how hot he looked. Audrey, Audrey, Audrey, you have lots of explaining to do!".
Audrey who Lucas thought she had gone home had been one step ahead of him, she knew there was a possibility that he would go and find her at her house, so she went to the lakeside to get her feelings reorganized instead. "So he does like me!!", Audrey thought as she sat on the bench, " But I like him too.. Then why did I freak out and run away?!", she thought hitting her head. "I need professional advice on this!", Audrey thought heading back home.
Audrey failed to acknowledge her true feelings, she was indeed overwhelmed by his sudden confession, but what she didn't know was that she was overwhelmed because it was a new experience for her. She got home to meet an exasperated Prisca watching TV like an aristocrat, she chuckled because Prisca never ceased to surprise her. She watched as Prisca came towards her before she asked, " Lucas came over today…", she Paused, Audrey smirking because her plan had worked.
The next second, Prisca steamed, "why didn't you tell me he was that hot in person?", Prisca asked dramatically going on her knees and hugging Audrey's thighs. She stood up again, surprising Audrey with her dramatic performance, however, this time she was more like her true self, the gist lover!. She dragged Audrey to the couch before she said, " Tell me everything!".
Audrey wasted no time in telling Prisca about the details of their gym date, Pausing in between telling her experience to chuckle at Prisca's facial reactions. When she completed her story, she said, "I really need advice, what should I do?", Audrey asked, suddenly remembering the dilemma she was in.
Prisca was basically all talk with no experience, and so when Audrey asked an advice from her she simply told her, " it's simple, just avoid him at all costs!", "but he drops me off at home!?", Audrey saud trying to reason the whole thing. "Then!!, simply ghost him, don't worry if he comes by, I'll simply tell him you aren't back from work!", Prisca said, thinking she came up with the best plan ever. Audrey went to sleep after she acknowledged Prisca's plan, but that didn't mean she didn't reminisce the events of the day, the fact that Lucas liked her highlighting her thoughts.
Martin headed down the stairs to have a bite of any snack he could find as he had been working since morning and unfortunately missed breakfast, he rummaged through their massive fridge wondering how eventful his brother's day should be going, he smiled again wondering if his brother would take the initiative to enjoy the physical contact which they would undoubtedly have. He was shocked however to see Lucas sitting on the stool placed beside the counter drinking water.
He looked at the time wondering why he was back that early, it wasnt even up to thirty minutes, yet he was back already. " Bro, what happened, why are you back so early!?", Martin asked. He watched as Lucas paused for a while before saying, "I told her I liked her!", Martin's jaw hanging in disbelief. " what??!, wait, why?, I thought you didn't want to tell her about it now why did you suddenly change your mind?", Martin asked.
Lucas looked at his brother before going into details, telling him about how he felt insecure, jealous and angry when he saw what she wore, he went ahead to tell him that that was what prompted him to confess his feelings. Lucas looked at Martin who clicked his tongue looking at nothing in particular, it looked like his brother was contemplating.
"I don't know what to do man!", " how about actually pursuing her to see that you're serious about her, also, maybe you like cancel the contract, that might actually show her your sincerity!", Martin said watching his brother's facial expression change from zero to a charming smile. "Remind me how you know so much about girls?!", Lucas asked as he looked at his younger brother in adoration, " well, I am the most handsome among the two of us, i might know a thing or two!!', Martin said feeling himself. Lucas just rolled his eyes and went up to his room after giving Martin a hug out of appreciation.
