Like the gentleman he was, he led Audrey to the car and opened the door for her. She tried to school her flustered expression, trying hard to believe what was happening to her, not only was she receiving special attention from the president of Walton Globals, she had a hunch that they were onto something.
She entered the car, settling on the passenger seat before Lucas helped her with her seatbelt. Her lips were sucked in as she still tried not to blush by his gestures, however she couldn't hold on much longer, as when the cold CEO flashed her a genuine smile her heart skipped a beat.
She was still in a trance when Lucas circled his car to enter the driver's seat, "you ready?", he asked after he switched on the engine, Audrey nodded in affirmation before he left the underground car park. The ride wasn't silent and awkward like Audrey had expected, instead she felt comfortable with the atmosphere.
Lucas and Audrey were engrossed in the conversation, Audrey soon forgetting how tense she was when he asked her to his office earlier that morning. "...it would be nice to have you cook for me!", Lucas said turning off the engine of the car as they had gotten to the restaurant which they would be having breakfast.
"Yeah, yeah, it would be nice, you could just pop in any time, yeah…!", Audrey paused before she continued, " and I should stop talking now!", she said, Lucas chuckling at her words. "How about we take the discussion inside?", Lucas asked before they went inside the restaurant.
During the ride, Lucas asked Audrey what she wanted to eat for breakfast, she opted for a pancake as she had barely eaten before she went to the office that morning. " Yeah, Yeah, we should?", "hold on, I'll get the door!", Lucas said taking out the keys and his phone before he went around the car to open the door for Audrey.
It just felt right to Audrey to hold on to Lucas's arm as they entered the restaurant and that was exactly what she did. When they settled in the VIP section reserved for Lucas, yes, he owned the shop too, Audrey suddenly remembered the other reason why they were there. Out of sudden tension, she asked, " can I use the restroom?, I'll only be a minute!", "Sure, go ahead!, Lucas said before Audrey scurried out of the room.
She couldn't avoid the fact that they had feelings for each other, and she didn't have any qualms with telling him how she felt, however, what she actually went to the bathroom for was to give herself a pep talk, she really didn't want to mess it up.
After some minutes and Audrey hadn't returned yet, Lucas started fidgeting, " could she have left without telling me", "what if she actually left?", Lucas thought, about to atand up when Audrey came back inside the room. " Hey!", she said closing the door behind her, Lucas smiled at her before she went to take her seat.
Lucas was about to ask if she wanted to order then, but Audrey cut him off by saying something first, "it wasn't intentional!", she said, thinking that Lucas was about to bring up the conversation again. Getting the hint of what she was talking about, he said, " then why didn't you want to talk to me?", Lucas asked scooting closer.
He just didn't get why he wanted to be around her all the time, "well, that's because that was what I thought would be the best solution.?", " best solution for what?", "the best solution for my feelings!", " why don't you want to tell me about it?", Lucas asked going to sit beside her as he saw the situation going in his favour…(wink).
"I…", Audrey paused before she continued, "I like you too, and I thought it would be best if I avoided you…mmmm", Audrey was unable to finish her sentence before Lucas pressed his lips on hers. The attendant who walked in after knocking twice with no reply went back out as she didn't want to disturb the couples time.
Her confession was all he ever wanted, he didn't even need to hear anything more before the sudden urge to kiss her overwhelmed him, and he did just that. Sucking and nipping her lips felt like the time slowed down to relish the supple lips she blabbed with, putting his left hand over her lap, as they were sitting side by side, he bit her lower lip, a gasp escaping her lips, Lucas using the opportunity to press his tongue inside her mouth.
Unable to resist the reality she thought would never happen, Audrey's arms found themselves on Lucas's neck, pulling him closer to her, deepening the kiss in the process. Their tongues moved in sync, tugging and nipping, relishing the taste of the other's mouth. They pulled from the kiss, a string of saliva connecting their lips, reminding them of the beautiful moment they just had.
Audrey dropped her head, suddenly feeling shy that she hadn't even tried to stop him in any way. " I'm sorry!", Audrey said out if nervousness, "well, I'm not sorry!", Lucas said grabbing her hand. " I like you a lot Audrey, and I'm more than willing to be in a relationship with you, how about we give it a try?!", Lucas asked tucking the errant strands of her hair behind her ear.
She nodded shyly, her face flushed and feeling awkward. "You have to say something!", Lucas pressed, wondering why she was feeling that shy. " Yeah, I would like to be in a relationship with you!", Audrey said, unable to maintain eye contact. Lucas smiled and kissed her head before he rang the bell to call the waiter. They had pancakes and hot chocolate for breakfast, during the time they had breakfast Audrey kept stealing glances at Lucas and smiling, Lucas noticed she was stealing glances at him and decided to play around a bit.
Audrey stop a glance at him, gasping to meet his piercing gaze and a smirk on her face, she shifted her gaze, looking at the pancakes she as almost done with eating still feeling his gaze on her. The blush on he surface was evident that she was self conscious so Lucas shifted his gaze and smiled. They left the restaurant soon after, heading to the office after they agreed on a proper date later in the evening.
On their way back, Audrey kept reminiscing the kiss they just had, it was her first kiss and their first kiss as a couple. She touched her lips out of instinct, smiling as she stole a glance at him, like every other time she gawked at how bulky he looked, the muscles bulging out of his suit minimally, but enough to show how fit he was, his hair combed to the side, his beautiful face in full view. Her cheeks were flushed jn such a small amount of time, she faced the window to giggle at the fact that she was now in a relationship with someone she had a huge crush on.
