🦋 Anna's POV 🦋
It was like we were being ambushed as I could see people scattered around and I just followed behind melissa to the dining area in order to avoid getting lost in the crowd.
The dining table was as long as a tape rule or even longer seeing as whomever was sitting at each ends couldn't see each other.
I see everybody grabbing a chair and I take a chair beside melissa settling down too. Cutleries were neatly arranged on the table and I could feel my stomach growl already.
" Hey " the now- familiar masculine voice called out.. he's breath manning my skin as he proceed to take a chair beside me.
" hi " i answered before averting my gaze, stopping myself from looking into those beautiful orbs.
" Am lucas "
" am anna " i said finally looking into his eyes, the same one sucking me in...
I was starting to get lost in his eyes when I felt a hand hit me and I turn to see it was melissa.
" what were you thinking " she whispered
" what?! " I literally shouted and when I felt all eyes on me, I started apologizing.
" don't tell me you already like... him! " she whisper- screamed and I had to hit her to let her know that he was still sitting beside me.
" so what? " she shrugged like she hasn't just blurted out shit or turned me beets red.
I was struggling with my next response as I could see her eyes boring holes into mine.
" hey " a low voice called out and I looked up to see a guy.. long curly hair well smoothened to the back, eyes a dark shade of blue and he was quite petite for a young adult.
" Max " melissa beamed holding his hands before dragging the lean boy to sit beside her.
" so max this is anna, anna this is max " she said all bubbly as she looked between the two of us, She must really like this max guy.
" nice to meet you anna " he answered Cooly extending his hands which I quickly took in a handshake.
" nice to meet you too " I replied
And then it was awkward until I felt my stomach rumble at the smell of incoming mac and cheese but then it was just my glutton side's thinking. Cause my plate was later filled with meat and vegetables.
What was this?
" displeased? " lucas asked stating at my already scrunched up face. To be honest it was sickening! But I couldn't even complain, after all I was freelancing and I didn't want to go overboard.
" no it's fine. " I said faking a smile before piercing the meat slice with my fork and hungrily taking them in, wasn't that bad.
" you don't have to eat that if you don't want to " lucas said his voice coming out in a whisper but I could clearly hear him.
" why? " I asked dryly picking up another piece of meat and putting throwing it into my mouth. Not like he was gonna give me something better, they all looked like they were enjoying the food,
Perhaps they were already used to it.
"Got something you might like. " he said and my eyes lit up earning a smirk from him.
" stall a bit before coming... third floor " he said before leaving the dining area.
I focused on my food for sometime before telling melissa that I had to use the bathroom but she just waved me off. The girl had been so busy chatting with max while giggling through out. So I took it as my queue to leave.
Going up wasn't as slow as going down, because I was there in no time. I look towards the hallway and I sight lucas, his back was resting against the wall and he looked cool in that position.
" you're here " he said with a grin when his eyes met mine.. before taking my hands and leading me down the hall and into a small wooden door. Everywhere was pitch black and all I could see was nothingness. But I knew he was at my front since our hands were still locked, which made me feel a bit safe.
" where are we "
" shhh" he hushed me and I just remain quiet until he pressed a switch and the whole place lit up. It was so beautiful even though there wasn't much in the small room, the light was enough to beautify the whole place. Just a counter, 3 long stools and a fridge.
" wow.. what is this place ? "
" it doesn't really have a name, but it was an attic "
" oh my God! We aren't supposed to be here " i shouted.. According to melissa's running mouth the owner didn't like people coming here. Even though I don't understand why.
" bending a few rules won't kill... moreover we all come here sometimes " he said in a chuckle, taking my hands before gesturing for me to sit..and am about to argue but am thrown aback by the content in the fridge.. which he just opened solemnly to tempt me.
It was filled with junks, exactly what I was craving right now.
" awesome "
" knew you'd like it! " he said with a smile before handing me a bowl of ice cream and some chips,I didn't even think twice before digging in.
" you know I haven't had this since my mom's place " I blurted out savoring the taste.
" really? " he asked and I realized he doesn't even know what I was talking about.
" nothing.. aren't you gonna have some " I finally asked cause all he's been doing was stare at me the whole time and It was starting to get uncomfortable.
" anyone ever told you how beautiful you are ? " he asked and I immediately averted my gaze from his. What was he saying?
" I'm serious " he added placing both of his hands at each side of my face and forcing me to stare directly into his eyes.
I was hating the situation I was in. I just wanted to scream for him to stop, stomp his feet and leave. But instead I just stared back at him, routed to a spot. Distance slowly closing in when__
" what the hell are you both doing here! "
The door banged open and the commanding voice snapped my thoughts as I immediately swat his hands away from my face and looked up at the already anger filled face of the owner.
I am doomed!
