I put my hood over my head as I walked down the streets of my neighborhood this very neighborhood which holds all my child hood memories, just thinking how much I've grown up gives me the chills. I looked over and there was cravings and of course Lucas waiting for me because he has a record of never making me wait , because of this time where he kept me waiting for like and 1hour and trust me it didn't end well save to say all the plans got canceled and we both went home in bad moods.
"Hey princess classic of you to keep me waiting Haha " I smiled at Lucas staring at him in his black cargoes and white tees he was taller, but I was never going to admit that to him I would rather keep that to my self and mock him for being a short boy for the rest of my life . You look just the same short boy I said and yes why would I be here before you I laughed as I responded to Lucas. Me and Lucas have been the closet for about 2years or 3 he was really everything to me my save space and all. I got really depressed one time I couldn't talk to anyone and I cried all the time life wasn't the best at that moment, then somehow Lucas was the only person I could talk to and trust me when I say talking to him made me a-lot better from then I was able to step up and find myself. Seeing him after all this while felt like I was in a room full of snacks and knowing me you know how much of a sweet tooth I am .
''So sup princess you want some ice cream or we could just take a walk around the park and catch up, a whole year a way from you felt like a million years " I turned and gave him the side eye because that was such an exaggerated statement, we could grab some ice cream and walk around the park when it gets darker . I loved night walks there was something about them that hit different the calmness of the night, fewer people and of course being with Lucas always made it a little more interesting. We went into the ice cream shop and Lucas made the order I stood there being amazed how he always picked out what exactly I wanted he knew me to well it surprised me sometimes. It was a while since I had ice cream maybe that's why it tasted so heavenly or maybe it was just the feeling of being with Lucas and the atmosphere of being back in this neighborhood. We were done and he payed , as we walked to the park I told Lucas about how my school year went, it was mostly about school work cause how would I put this I was kind of a book worm and some people will just say I was a boring person, anytime I had stopped to ask if I was boring him, he said he loved listening to me and that was true anytime I was with Lucas I did the talking he was such a listener, I never seem to tell if he just liked listening to me talk or was just like that with everyone else, but it was fine since I knew he was always paying attention. He chipped in some few times and told me of how things have been around the neighborhood and the fun I missed during the Christmas holiday but he was glad I was back for the summer meaning we would spend it together as always, can't lie I blushed a few times when he said nice things to me maybe that's why people gave us stares when we sat on the bench at the park and had our little talks, we definitely looked like a couple but trust me guys we are just friends.
After going round the park a little over 10 times it was already 10 pm i looked at my apple watch and was to shocked that it was already that late . Lucas I have to go home mom was even cooking dinner when I left I told her I'll be back soon and now I've been gone for like 4hours, I'm sure she must have gone to bed mad or worse waiting for me mad but of course Lucas didn't want to let me go he was back to doing his sad face and I was tempted to stay more but as soon as he let go of my hand, I ran turning back to wave him good bye saying we should meet up tomorrow to find he summer job " don't be late I think that Starbucks place down the corner is hiring ''he shouted as I left . As I tried to keep up with running I thought about how much trouble I must be in with mom though I wasn't a kid anymore mom still saw me as her 13 year old daughter who wasn't turning 20 in barely 25 days. I peeped as I got closer to the house to see if any light was still on and no all the lights had been put off except mine so I slowly creeped in I went into the kitchen, the meal my mom made me was laying there cold with a note that read '' I know you'll get home late just eat this when you get back I'm not mad love mom'' I smiled mom was to sweet well she was sweet sometimes not all the time, microwaved my pasta then went upstairs as quietly as I could .
I sat there reminiscing on how my evening went with Lucas when I was done with my meal, just then his text came in, what perfect timing
"Are you back home ? Was your mom mad ''
Yes I am HaHa I got lucky she wasn't mad she also made
the most amazing pasta.
"I had the best evening with you I missed this, I missed us ''
Me to I guess I made the right decision coming back *smiley face *
" yeah your eyes are still as beautiful as ever I never really get tired of
staring at you''
Thank you awww you never miss and opportunity to compliment me do you.
" trust me on that *smiley face * I've got something to tell you ''
yeah sure what's this about ?
"Don't freak out Kayla but I can't be just friends with you anymore…..
I like you"
Wait what!? did Lucas Williams just say he liked me he said not to freak out but I was definitely freaking out I couldn't calm down where is this coming from ? I had no response I panicked through out the night , I could barely sleep and worse of all I had left his message un read which wasn't the best move. I said I wanted something interesting to happen this summer but this definitely wasn't what I was talking about!
