Chapter 4: Reconciliation
(For all of you who didn't like Lucas in earlier chapters, you'll hopefully be pleased with this one)
Lucas looked emotionally injured as I walked through the door.
I nervously told him, "I know you told me to never come back, but just hear me out. I know I was asking a lot of you, and I know you didn't expect something to happen like this during your senior year. I don't want you to hate me Lucas because even though I wanted to push the feeling away…I think I'm in love with you."
Lucas remained frozen for about five uncomfortable minutes.
He then took ten large steps closer until we were nose to nose.
Then, he just kissed me like he had done it a million times before.
It was a better kiss than Riley had ever received from him.
When we parted, I was breathless, "Lucas…"
He spoke quickly, "I don't know why I did that, Maya Hart. But it sure felt right. I think I want to raise our child with you. I want to be there for you. I'm so sorry for being such a jerk. I want to be with you, and let's go tell Riley right now."
I was thrilled!
Finally, I had all I ever wanted…except my best friend.
I looked up at Lucas, "Will Riley hate both of us? I mean, she already swore me off and said we weren't best friends anymore."
He smiled, "With the power the two of us share, we will convince her and everything will be okay. I'll tell her I lied and she may hate me, but she'll forgive you, Maya. I know she will."
I kissed him on the cheek, "You are amazing."
