Chapter 3.
"Huckleberry...what are you doing here? I thought I had made myself crystal clear when I told you I didn't want to do this." she said trying to close the door with no luck.
"I know but that doesn't mean we can't be friends right? Well, this is me, visiting a friend. I wanted to see if you had made it home in one piece. You left my place really late and I was worried about you." he said, a small smile forming across his lips.
"Well a simple phone call would've been enough don't you think?"
"No I don't. I wanted to see you. Are you gonna let me come in?"
"Do i have a choice?" she asked defeated.
He made his way in wiping his feet on the welcome mat. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into a kiss that lasted less then he would've wanted because she pulled away as soon as it happened.
"Lucas what the hell?" she asked confused. "You can't just come here and kiss me like that. We talked about this. Don't make me regret being your friend."
"Maya after what happened between us last night we can both agree that we can't be just friends. I like you Maya and I know you feel the same way about me ok, the kiss last night proved it. Why can't you just accept you felt something and we'll go from there? Oh and please don't mention Riley in any of this. You're gonna have to come up with something better than that.
"Well it didn't. We were just caught up in the moment. That kiss didn't mean anything. You don't mean anything." Maya finished trying to convince herself and failing miserably. Something told her Lucas didn't believe her either. After all, she wasn't the best liar. Having Riley as a friend could do that. Man had Riley rubbed off on her. It was really annoying at the moment. She saw the way he looked at her. The sad expression in his eyes as he was searching for something. Something that would assure him that what they felt was real. She was lying and even though Lucas was a stupid cowboy he wasn't dumb. He knew she was lying but he was waiting for her to come clean. But she didn't. She ignored the urge.
Him being here wasn't helping her in the least. Man did he look good. His hair was stylishly messy, it was a nice look on him. He wore a red long sleeve shirt which was a huge upgrade from his usual blue ones, and black jeans. She was hypnotized and as much as she wanted to ignore everything and just give in and kiss him, she wasn't about to bring herself to do it. She had meant what she said, it was for the best. She couldn't betray Riley like that she was far more important to her than any guy ever could be, even if that guy was Lucas Huckleberry Friar.
"Ok so yeah I'm fine. I appreciate you coming but I'm fine and you should really go." Maya said shaking her head and trying to push him out the door. He wouldn't budge. Maya really needed him to leave. Yes they had to talk about what had happened especially after that poor excuse of an explanation she gave as to why that happened but right now wasn't the time. She suddenly felt dizzy. She closed her eyes trying to collect herself but it was no use. Her vision wasn't very clear and her legs felt like jello. No! she thought Stupid headache. Why did you have to come back when Lucas was here!
"Maya...hey look at me focus on me." Lucas said worried but Maya couldn't focus. The throbbing in her head and the sharp ringing in her ears wouldn't let her. The last thing she saw was Lucas' worried face before she completely blacked out and Lucas caught her in his arms.
