Chapter 8 - chapter 8

{Lukas}

I sat in the car driving, I kept on starring at Amelia, who had suddenly gone quiet.

Seeing her sad only made me want to make her happy.

An idea popped into my head and Instead of taking her home,I took her somewhere else

We were almost there when she asked where I was taking her

"Somewhere you will love" I said and stopped the car

I got out and got her out too,"where are you taking me Lukas"she said again

"Just be patient" I said helping her to climb the rocky hill

finally we made it to the top and she stood holding me close to her,its so high and am sure she held me so she wouldn't fall off.

"Wow Lukas, this is so beautiful" she said starring at the whole place

The sun setting and the beautiful water fall with the birds flying around and also the clouds adding a magic touch to it all.

I knew bringing her here would get her to smile, I missed seeing that smile of hers

We sat on the ground just watching the whole surrounding, taking in everything,

I wanted this to last for a while more but I knew we had to come back to reality

I stood up suddenly and she starred at me

"As much as I would like us to stay here, I know that I can't do that, we have to leave or your family might be worried"I said and she stood up and together we both left the place.

I wish she could say more, I wish she could tell me what's going on in that head of hers.

I wish she could trust me enough to open up her heart to me. I just wish

{Amelia}

I sat in the car starring at Lukas, he has been the perfect gentleman, thanks to him I finally know the kind of creep Henry is

" do you want to listen to music, I can play one for you"Lukas said turning on the radio

The soft music began to play making me feel more sad

Why do I always have bad luck with men, Henry is not the first guy who have used me and dump me before, others have done that but thank God I found out one way or another

If Lukas hadn't taken me to see Henry then I would have married the bastard and lived a life of regret, just thinking about it made me hate myself more

Just then I felt him touching my hand, I turned and starred at him

"Dont keep your thoughts bottled up, am here my Darling Kate, just talk to me" he said kissing my hand

If only I had met him first, if only he had come at the right time, who knows I might have been so happy but now its too late, I have decided not to have any man in my life, I want to just live for me alone, want to go to somewhere far and restart my life, I need to do that,I need to make a new life for myself, that's what have got to do

I held his hands, giving it a tight squeeze before kissing it, he would be happy with another Lady, a lady who is not me.

He stopped the car right in front of my house and I got down and he also did too

"Lukas its best if you go home now" I said to him

"Not until you tell me what's going on in that little brain of yours, talk to me Amelia" he said moving close to me

"Am not the right woman for you Lukas"

"No Amelia, dont bring that now" he said

"Its the truth, am better left alone, all the guys I know are only after something from me, I never last long with a man well except for Henry who turned out to be like the rest, it's best if I live my life being single, it will suit me and it will benefit you too, when you finally meet a beautiful girl you will..."

"To hell with beautiful girls, your the only one I want, the only girl I want for me" he said pulling me to him

I felt myself drowning in him but I just can't let that happen.

"Tell me something Amelia, dont you like me? what do you feel anytime you are in my arms, tell me you dont feel anything whenever I kiss you" he said kissing me gently on my lips

"Okay fine, I do feel something for you, I like you a lot but..."

"Why must there be a but, forget about the buts and let's just live the moment" he said

"What assurance do I have that you won't be like the rest"

"Haven't I assured you enough,nI like you like crazy" he said

"Your likeness for me today might just change tomorrow" I said holding his cheek

"No Amelia dont just throw this away without trying" he said

"There was never a thing before Lukas, you can't be happy with me, am like a curse, just find someone else,bam sure they will make you so happy" I said and I gently kissed his cheeks

"Amelia don't do this" he said holding my hand

"Its for the best Lukas, its for the best" I said and began to walk In

"Amelia!!!" He called and I turned

"This is the contract, have signed it" he said bringing the contract to me

"Thanks Lukas"

"There is really no way to change your mind" he said

"Have made my choice Lukas, please just respect it" I said and he nodded gently and walked off

Just watching him leave hurts me alot but its for the best.

If we meet in some other place, in another circumstance, I could have give him a try but that won't ever happen right....

So its best If he just leave"Goodbye Lukas"I whispered gently before going in..

A week later$$$

{Amelia}

"I still can't believe that Lukas is this rich" Ava said as she sat on my bed starring at her phone

"He really is handsome too, just look at that watch, I can bet it is worth a billion" Sophia said as she also starred at Ava's phone

"Common guys its enough, its not as if he is that great"Emma said standing by the window

"He is Emma, he is described here as a great Greek God, how I wished I had been nice to him" Sophia said

"Well the only one of us that had been nice to him seemed to had asked him to leave for good" Emma said starring at me

I sat on my bed dealing with some company files, I haven't been to the company for a week now, have stayed indoor,when I told everyone about it, they had immediately cancelled everything and a lot of busybodies and gossips wanted to know why and knowing them to being people that won't leave you in peace until they get what they come for, I decided to stay home until everything has died down.

"Is that true Amelia? how could you have asked him to stay away" Sophia said

"He is damn rich Amelia, you could have just stayed with him" Ava said

"I have my reasons for telling him to leave okay!!!" I said

"But from what we see you like that guy and he likes you too" Ava added

"Ooh just let her be, if she wants to waste her life being single then she should but let me tell you this,you will regret it for good" Emma said leaving my room

"Its best you take Emma words seriously, no lady like being single and think about it Lukas is rich, if I were you I would stick to him like a glue" Sophia added before

"What is their problem, they were against Lukas before" I said

"That was before they knew he was a darn rich billionaire, they had gone crazy, especially Emma ,she said she regrets having behaved bad to him, I too but we were kind of happy that you at least were good to him and that he could have taken Henry place in your life but when you kept rejecting to see him and giving all his presents out, we knew something was wrong, your dont want to be hurt by him too right?" Ava said

"Its not tha..."

"Don't try to deny it,I know that that's what bothering you, your just scared to open your heart to love again but sincerely I know that Lukas likes you a lot and you should give him a chance" Ava said patting my shoulders before she left.

You should give him a chance" her words kept ringing in my head

I stood up from the bed and went to take the box of chocolates that Lukas had brought last night

He always bring a thing with him anytime he comes looking for me,I thought that with the way he left that night he would have finally given up in pursuing me but no he didn't.

He was always here,looking for ways to see me but I kept telling anyone at home to tell him that am not at home and that's what have been doing for a whole week,he just won't give up

Am sure that he will be here today too, with one gift or another.

I opened the chocolate box and found a little piece of paper in it

"I won't give up" just reading that got me a bit thrilled,to know that a guy is pursuing me this bad makes me feel so good and also scared at the same time.
