Lucas is going over to Krystal's house… in the middle of the night. Let's see what happens.

Chapter 10 – The Three Words

Lucas's POV

I arrived at Krystal's house in five minutes. The whole neighborhood is quiet except for the crickets chirping. The street lights were on and some of the house lights are on but I wasn't worried since people were engrossed to the TV. There was not a single light in Krystal's house so she and Roark are asleep. I can hear their heart beating slowly so they are. That's fine by me since I don't want either of them to freak out if they see me in the middle of the night.

I searched the room for Krystal's. Once I found it, I took a big jump and landed softly next to her window. I look through it and there was Krystal lying on her bed asleep. That's all I wanted her to do. Stay like that so I could hear her say my name again. I slowly opened the window which fortunately for me, was unlocked. Carefully, I slip myself inside and slowly walk up to Krystal's bed.

Wow. She looks so peaceful sleeping like an angel. How could someone like her sleep so beautifully? The sight of seeing her really made my heart go crazy but I don't want to go too far. I came here for one reason and one reason only.

I carefully and slowly sat myself on the edge of Krystal's bed. She's really relaxed in her sleep judging from her dark blue aura.

"Stop, you know I'm ticklish." She mumbled. There's she goes sleep talking again. I wonder what her ticklish spot is.

"Don't be like that. Come on, I was just joking. You know that." She said. I chuckled quietly at how amazed Krystal doesn't say random silly stuff like Bella does Edward tells me. I wonder if Krystal even knows she talks in her sleep. I guess she would be embarrassed if she did and I found out. I chuckled again.

"Lucas." I nearly jumped and looked at Krystal who is still sleeping.

"Lucas." I sighed in relief. Chill out Lucas she's talking in her sleep again.

"Lucas." She continued saying with a smile. The sound of her voice saying my name is more breathtaking than I remember. Krystal's aura turned pink. She's must be dreaming about me again. Oh man what do I give to have Edward's mind reading power? Well I can always watch her aura and know how well she's sleeping.

Krystal continued talking in her sleep and saying my name as I watched her not even moving an inch. I also kept an eye out if I hear Roark coming by which he never did. Good, I don't want to be interrupted from watching this beautiful sight.

"Lucas." Krystal said my name again. I couldn't stop smiling then all of a sudden,

"Lucas…. I love you."

I froze in my place. My heart should be beating furiously until it explodes. My mouth almost dropped as I almost gave out a loud gasped. Did she actually say what I think she said?

I think you were too busy staring at Krystal to notice what she said.I thought. The voice was dead wrong.

"Lucas, I love you." Krystal said again in her sleep. "Please don't leave."

I was speechless by her words. I can't be sure if she's saying that in her sleep or is awake to say so. All I know is that she loves me. I can't believe how much of an idiot I am for not knowing what her pink aura meant. She's been in love with me since the first day and I've been in love with her since I've laid eyes on her. Nothing could make me happier to tell her that but unfortunately, she's asleep and I don't want to startle her. I guess I'll wait until Krystal tells me herself which could be awhile. I don't care.

I looked at my watch and it was half past two. I sighed thinking I should get home before my family starts worrying about my absence. I slowly got off the bed and walked closely to her.

I stroked Krystal's face to which she smiled. I lean my head to her ear and whispered, "I love you Krystal." I kissed her forehead and I heard her heart speeding up.

Crap, she's waking up! I quickly made my way out the window. I don't think she heard me closed the window as she turned on her lamp. I watched as she looked around breathing uncontrollably. Then Krystal felt her forehead to where I kissed her. She was confused but happy even though she is unsure what happened. Krystal turned off the light, rested her head back to her pillow and fell asleep.

Phew that was too close. I thought. See, this is why you have to slow down on things like this.

I jumped off the roof and landed softly on the ground. I made my way back home not bothering to run. I was feeling a bit dazed at what happened tonight.

I can't get over it. Krystal said she loves me. My heart is filled with joy hearing those words. I couldn't stop smiling thinking about it. I have to settle down though. I mean she doesn't know I was there that night but I know she will tell me one day and when that time comes, well, let's hope that I'm ready.

"Had fun tonight?" I jumped with a scream at the voice I heard. I looked around surprised to see that I came home. I'm more surprised that I didn't bump into anything. I seriously gotta pay attention at what's going on.

I looked to see who was talking and saw that the voice came from Edward who is sitting on the couch with Bella and they're both smiling at me. Oh man, I'm busted in an embarrassing way.

"Okay one, don't do that! I almost had a heart attack if my heart was beating." I started holding my chest. "Two what are you doing here?"

"Jacob called us to pick up Nessie here since she's asleep so we carried her to her room." Edward explained. Why do they always bring Nessie here when she asleep? She has her own room at their cottage doesn't she?

"Don't you guys know that you have a cottage for reason?" I asked them.

"That reason is between me and Edward." Bella smirked as she kissed Edward's cheek. I had to ask. "Anyways, when we came here, we know you weren't home when Jacob tried to call you earlier. Edward had a sneaky feeling to know where you went."

"Looks like you enjoyed watching Krystal while she was sleeping, especially when she said that she loves you." Edward smirked. God damn it! I thought I turned my aura on. I thought I got this thing under control. Why does Edward always catch me on my feelings to Krystal? Like I said before; he's very nosy!

Edward chuckled. "I didn't have to read your mind when it was off. I knew you would sneak off to see Krystal because that's what I did to Bella when she was human back then."

"Why?" I asked in surprised.

"Because I wanted to know what she's thinking about. I couldn't read her mind so I always watch her sleep." Edward said and then smirked. "It fascinates me especially when she talks in her sleep."

I snickered as Bella, who was annoyed, punched Edward's shoulder. "Ow." Edward feigned a hurt.

"Bella, you and Krystal have something in common alright." I said.

"Well I don't do that now since I don't sleep." Bella stated as Edward kissed her.

Silence filled the room a little bit until I spoken. "Bella, Edward, how did you two handle your relationship, back then you know when you were both different?"

Those two looked at each other and back to me as I sat down. "It wasn't easy because I love Edward so much but he treats me like I'm fragile." Bella started.

"And Bella was completely stubborn to become a vampire." Edward said.

"Because I wanted to be with you forever." Bella said to him.

"And forever is how we'll be." Edward smiled and turned to me. "The point is it was challenging when Bella found out about what we are but slowly our love made things a lot easier. I'm sure things between you and Krystal will work out well since you know that she loves you as much as you love her."

"Thanks guys, I needed that." I smiled.

"No problem Lucas." Bella smiled.

Just then, we heard the door opened and Alice was running to us squealing with excitement. Oh no she saw it.

"Lucas, you are so like Edward." She said as Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Esme and Carlisle came in all smiling at me. Well it's worth it. I thought.
