"About what?",Michelle asked confused, still dizzy with the kiss.
"..",Lucas wanted to speak but kept quiet thinking that Michelle might not remember since she was drunk.
"Lucas..",Michelle called out coquettishly and hugged Lucas.
Lucas was shocked by her actions and the coldness in his eyes were reduced.
"Why are you always so cold towards me?",she asked still resting on him.
Lucas still didn't reply nor did he push Michelle away.
"Can we at least be friends?",she asked, her voice was starting to shack due to anxiety
"I see no reason why we can't",he asked colly.
Although he didn't accept or reject, Michelle was still excited and tightened her grip on him.
After some time she spoke up again, "Lucas...I really like you,I don't know if it was your behaviour towards me that caused it all I know is that I like you a lot. Do you like me too",she asked emotionally.
Lucas didn't reply for some time and his face was emotionless so his thoughts were kept a secret.
When he finally decided what to say he realised that the little woman in his arms was fast asleep.
'So her confession was due to alcohol. Does it still count?',he was a bit confused and disappointed for some reasons.
Lucas let her sleep and left the room in search of Bowen.
"Do you know what the matter with Michelle is?",he asked when he saw Bowen.
"She asked about her mother and I told her the hidden truth. I just don't understand why she is behaving in such a manner",he said disappointed.
Lucas didn't say a word and Bowen continued, "I know she likes you a lot and you have a romantic relationship together,please keep her happy..how I couldn't.....am a failure",he said at the brisk of tears but Lucas wasn't moved.
When Bowen said his last words he left the room leaving Lucas alone to think about the new responsibility that rest upon him even though Bowen's thoughts were wrong.
'A romantic relationship',he thought and sneered.
Michelle woke up around time for dinner with a terrible headache.
When she became fully awake she got curious about were she was.
It took her some time to realise she was in Lucas room.
'Why am I here?',she thought to herself, the door was suddenly open and Lucas walked in destroying her train of thoughts.
She waited for him to talk but he didn't so she alas took the initiative to start up a conversation.
"Why am I in your room coz I remember being at a bar with John also where is John?",she attacked him with questions.
Lucas turned back and when his eyes finally met with hers his heart flustered.
"Don't you go anywhere without my permission",he answered coldly.
"You keep forgetting that our relationship is fake and you have no control over me" she said pouting.
"How about we make it official?",he said moving closer to her.
"Are you asking me out Lucas?",Michelle answered his question with a question while moving backwards.
"What if I am",he asked back while pressing her to the wall.
"I will have to first know if you truly have feelings for me",she said trying to hide the excitement in her.
Lucas didn't answer her but kissed her passionately on the lips,trying to possess her mouth whole.
"Does that answer your question",he said when he let go if her.
"Lucas!! You pervert",she screamed her cheeks red.
"How about I show you how a really pervert behaves",he said his voice hoarse.
"...",Michelle was speechless at his boldness and couldn't help but blush.
"Lets go have dinner",he said and pulled her hand,they seemed like a real couple at that time.
At that moment Michelle forgot all about mother,it was like what happened in the morning never happened.
