KING LUCAS

CHAPTER 6

The rest of Lucas' first week had gone by without any problem. He was adapting to the new school very fast, he had made the baseball team as it's third base and after they play their first game in two weeks he would be the star hitter. Speaking of third bases, he had a wonderful date with Sophie after his baseball practice on Thursday.

He sat with Zay during geometry and lunch, he always had something to talk about and even though Lucas wasn't the type of guy who liked getting close to someone he was starting to find Zay's company enjoyable. It wasn't until Friday morning that they found out that they also shared their Spanish class, it just happened that Zay hadn't had the motivation to show up at class the past days of that week. They spent most of their time together and if it wasn't with him, he was with his teammates and if he wasn't with them, then he was with a girl.

He was still talking with Riley, they texted constantly, he always smiled at her, he also walked her to her AP calculus after history, Maya watched him carefully behind them. Last time they had talked she had promised to prove he was lying to Riley about why he was interested in her, but she had taken no action on her words yet.

Their first period was about to end, the Spanish teacher was grading their homework while they were supposed to work on the sheets she had given out. Lucas was on Instagram when Zay, who was sitting next to him, called him.

"Psst, Lucas!" He whispered. "Did you see this?" He said, showing him the screen of his phone. There was a text bubble that he couldn't read from where he was.

Lucas frowned and lifted his shoulders, but in that moment his phone vibrated, he got a new message from an unknown number.

Party tonight, 503 W 82nd Street, 8A. 8pm. Seniors only!

A smile on his face grew as he turned to look at his friend, Zay smiled back and nodded.

"Yeah!" Zay said aloud, every eye on the class turned around to see them.

"Isaac!" The teacher said, standing up. "Hay algo que quiera compartir con el resto de la clase?"

"No." He said, Lucas tried to contain his laugh as everyone returned to their tasks.

"It is on!" Zay freely yelled outside as they headed to the cafeteria. "Our first party together, man this is going to be awesome!"

"Who sent the text?" Lucas asked.

"Gabbie Anderson, she has this huge apartment and she throws parties as often as humanly possible."

They walked in, each grabbing a tray and cutting line in front of some freshmen that said nothing when they saw Lucas.

"Hi, Flo! You look gorgeous as always." Lucas said with his best smile, to the lady that was serving the food.

"Lucas, thank you!" That day they were serving pizza, which always happened the last Friday of each month. "I tried your grandma's corn bread recipe and it was like heaven."

"Didn't I tell you?" He said as she placed an extra slice on his plate. "I'll ask her to send me the one for her pecan pie."

"Please do, have a nice day!" She said, throwing a burnt slice on Zay's tray.

"You too!" Lucas finished, lifting his lunch and looking for a place to seat.

"I hate that you can do that, I've known Flo since I was a freshman." Zay said next to him. "Anyway, what are you going to do about Sophie?"

"What do you mean?" Lucas asked, he saw the table he was looking for and headed towards it.

"The party is for seniors only." His friend said behind him.

"Oh, I'm not worried about that." He said, mischievously, reaching the table. "Hey, this spot taken?"

Riley lifted her head and smiled when she recognized who it was.

"Please." She said, pointing the seats in front of her. She was reading from a big book, Maya was nowhere to be seen.

"This is Zay. Zay this is Riley Matthews." Lucas introduced them.

"Are you in my AP calculus?" She asked, looking at him.

"Oh, sugar, I'm barely passing basic math, but could you be any cuter." Zay said, which made Riley flush a little and Lucas smile.

"Riley, are going go to the party tonight?" Lucas asked, seeming casual and taking a bite of his pizza.

"Oh, I got the text but I can't." This put on hold Lucas' plan to hook up with Riley.

"Why not?" Lucas asked, making her know that he wanted her there.

"I promised my parents that I would babysit my little brother, tonight is their anniversary." Riley said, looking disappointed.

"Oh, that's too bad, I was looking forward on seeing you there."

Zay couldn't believe what he was seeing, Riley was another one of the girls who fell for anything Lucas said. He didn't know what it was, but he was so smooth in everything he said, he never rushed things but he always had their numbers by the end. He should write down a couple of his moves for tonight.

"I just got these Snack Packs from a couple of stupid freshmen." Maya sat down, without noticing that Lucas was there until she opened her pudding. "What are you doing here, Huckleberry?"

"Huckleberry!" Zay chuckled.

"And who are you?" Maya said to Zay with a spoon in her mouth.

"Isiah Babinoux, call me Zay." He said.

"Are you the guy that pulled the fire alarm last year?"

"Same one." He nodded, feeling flattered that someone gave him the recognition he deserved, after all he was suspended for a week for his little stunt.

"That was cool." She said, surprised. "I had a test that day."

Zay lifted his chocolate milk and bowed his head to Maya.

"Say, blondie, are you going to Gabbie Anderson's party tonight?" Zay asked.

"Maybe." She said, putting the empty plastic cup over Riley's tray. "Hey, Huckleberry, are you going to eat that slice?"

"I'll exchange it for your other pudding." He said, lifting a brow. Maya narrowed her eyes and slide the little cup towards Lucas, he caught it and gave her his plate.

"Pleasure doing business with you." She said, taking a bite from her pizza.

At night, Lucas and Zay were on their way to Gabbie's apartment. Zay was changing the stations on Lucas' radio, finally leaving one on, it was country music, Lucas smiled.

"So you drove all the way from Texas, just for this truck." Zay was playing with the window handle and tapping his palms on the dashboard.

"Yep." Lucas said nonchalantly.

"I don't get it." Zay said after a while. "First of all why would you need a car in New York City?"

"You can always get down and walk the rest of the way if you want to."

"Alright." He finished and remained silent the rest of the way.

"I mean, if a car is what you want then you could've sold it and buy a new one here."

"I thought we dropped this." Lucas said, as they rode the elevator up to the eighth floor. "Besides, I kept it for sentimental value."

Zay didn't respond, they had finally arrived at the place, it was about to be nine o'clock when they knocked on the door. A girl with a very black hair opened the door, she was holding a red cup in her hand, loud music played behind her. She smiled playfully at Lucas.

"Lucas! I'm glad you made it!" She stepped aside and let them in. "Zay, it's good to see you too."

"Thanks for inviting me." Lucas said, looking at her up and down, now he recognized her, she was in the cheerleading squad. She smiled back and guided them in.

"The kitchen is at the right, there's a bathroom at the end of that hallway, the other one is upstairs to the left. The master bedroom is off limits, besides that enjoy the party." She left them, the place was packed with drunk teenagers. There was a group dancing, others were playing spin the bottle, couples were here and there kissing like hungry animals, it wasn't so different as the ones in Texas.

They headed to the kitchen to pour themselves a cup of beer. The baseball team had taken control of the room and they were playing beer pong on the island of the kitchen.

"Lucas!" Billy exclaimed when he came in.

"Lucas!" The rest of his teammates repeated, they were all a few drinks in.

"Zay, it's good to see you too." Billy said coming closer to the pair.

"Why is everyone saying that?" Zay complained, heading to the keg and pouring two cups.

"So Lucas," Billy started grabbing his friend by the shoulders, "I've heard from several girls that you are the number one target at the party."

"Any recommendations?" Lucas asked, taking the drink that Zay had brought him.

"Well Gabbie hasn't been with anyone tonight and you get the room advantage."

"Teresa Sanchez was very interested in you this morning." Zay said, finishing his first drink.

"How do you know?" Lucas asked.

"Well she actually talked to me, so that had to be a clue, but it was only to get your number." He said, a little disappointed.

"Man, Teresa is gooood." Billy said nodding.

Lucas finished his beer and then left the two to go and mix something stronger. He put some tequila, rum, vodka, he luckily found some Curacao and then he added some Maxx Energy, in Texas they called it "The Leprechaun" because of its green color, the drink guaranteed a good buzz.

"The fuck is that?" Zay said, sitting on the counter. "Why is it green?" Lucas laughed and told him the recipe of the drink, Zay made a disgust expression.

"I know it sounds horrible, but if you try it you'll like it." Lucas offered a zip of his cup, Zay took it and the second he swallowed it his eyes opened in surprise and he took a second zip.

"Holy shit!" He took a third zip, Lucas gave up and prepared another one for him. "Ahh, this is so good! You can't even taste the alcohol in this!"

"I know, be careful though, that's why it hits so hard."

After Zay's second Leprechaun he disappeared, Billy introduced Lucas to Teresa and they were really getting along.

"There's no way you can do that!" He said and she nodded. "You can't balance a cup in you nose!"

"I swear! Look!" She grabbed his drink, looked up and put the cup over her nose, after playing around with it she let it go and the cup stood there. Lucas face lit up, his eyes wide in surprise and his mouth open. Teresa was a really cool girl, she had a beautiful brown color and her black hair seemed indomitable but he couldn't imagine her any different. She removed it and finished the whole drink. "I told you!" She said, drunker than him.

"That–was–amazing!" He said. "I really didn't think it was possible."

"Oh, look, the couch is finally free! My feet are killing me." She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the couch.

They sat down, she took her heels off and put her feet over the couch, resting her knees on his leg, she had an arm around his neck, the other hand was playing with a button of his shirt.

"So, tell me, are you liking New York?" She said, drawing circles on his chest with her index finger.

"I'm liking it more and more each second." He said in a low voice, he could feel the buzz of the alcohol in his head, it was making him feel unstoppable. Teresa smiled and got closer to him, when someone interrupted them.

It was Maya, standing in front of Lucas with her hands on her hips. From the couch she looked taller, and obviously she looked incredibly hot. She was wearing some shorts and a white top, short enough so you could see the belly button, a flannel shirt around her hips and combat boots. It was very simple look, but somehow she made it ten times better.

"What?" Teresa asked, when Lucas couldn't find the words.

"I need to borrow him for a sec." She said, before Teresa could protest Maya yanked him by his shirt.

"What's wrong with you?" The girl on the couch said. Lucas looked at Maya and then back at Teresa, but he wanted to see what was it that the blonde wanted.

"I'll be back, I promise." He said to Teresa and then followed Maya to the kitchen.

It was now empty, the team had scattered around the apartment everyone looking for someone to hook up with. Zay was sound asleep in the island, a red cup in his hand.

"What do you want?" He said, turning Zay's head to a side just in case he vomited.

"Zay was in the middle of telling me how to make whatever he's drinking, when he passed out." She said. "I also know that you are the one who made the drink first, so I just want one."

"That's it? You just want me to make you a drink?" He asked, a little disappointed.

"Yep, then you can go back to the couch and suck on that girl's face." She said, he narrowed his eyes, he had a hint that Maya was lying, but he couldn't read anything on her eyes or face and it made everything difficult.

He grabbed a cup, as she sat on the counter next to him. He looked for the ingredients among the half empty or almost empty bottles scattered around the kitchen.

"Did you create that shit?" Maya asked, her voice sounded a little drunk, which could explain her whole stunt back in the couch.

"No, it's a Texan drink." He added the ice, she was giving him a kind of look that he had seen before many times and it didn't matter that Maya's eyes had no expression in them because he was sure. She was looking at him the way women did when they wanted to do something with him.

He grabbed a can of Maxx Energy and opened it in front of her, almost between her legs, pouring the last item of the drink and handing it to her. She drank around half of her cup in one sitting and put the cup next to her.

"You can leave now, Huckleberry." She said, but he didn't listen, he got close to her, putting each of his hands to her sides, caging her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked, in a low tone that made Maya's little hairs behind her neck stand up.

"Like what?" She said.

"Like you want to have sex with me." He said, she opened her mouth to say something but then closed it. Since she was so small, their faces were in front of each other.

"What if I do?" She asked, almost whispering, putting her hands around his neck, coming a little closer to him, the limits for personal space had been broken a few inches ago. He was confused by her behavior, feeling something sketchy, but the buzz in his head wasn't helping, he could be wrong and maybe this was what she wanted.

"I can help you with that." He was getting turned on, Maya had an effect in his that he didn't understand. He finally saw something in her eyes, it was very intense, like a fire behind them. Her eyes slipped to his lips and he knew it was time.

He closed the space between them, their lips coming together in a fierce kiss. It was hot, it was wet, it was hungry, filled with a carnal desire. Her plum lips were soft, better than he had imagined, they tasted like the drink he had made for her. Her hands were tangled in his hair, while his were resting over her hips pulling her as close to the edge as she could be. She crossed her legs around his hips for better support.

His hands traveled all of her back, his touch sending sparks of fire through all of her body. He began kissing her jaw, slowly moving down to her neck, she lifted her head to give him more access. She let out a whimper when he sucked on the sensible skin of her neck.

"I just want a good fuck." She said panting. "Until I can't walk." She finished, biting his earlobe. He was hard and the fact that she was moving her hips made it so irresistibly good. He was thinking about taking her right there, pound her against the counter senselessly until they both saw stars, but he knew he shouldn't, there was something about this kiss so wrong, but she moved again and every coherent thought he was making disappeared.

She was good, but he knew that she was loving the friction and the way he kissed her, the way he sucked her neck, it made it almost impossible to think. She lifted his chin so their lips met again, he wasted no time, exploring her mouth with his tongue, fighting with hers in a igniting kiss.

"God, you are so hard." She said chuckling and then she stopped, she dropped her legs and pushed him away. Lucas frowned, looking at her as she cleaned her mouth.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Feels horrible when you lead someone on and leave them hanging, doesn't it?" She said, finishing her Leprechaun. "Good luck taking care of your business." She looked down at his crotch and winked, it was obvious he still had a serious boner on.

He was angry, this had been her revenge for him playing with Riley and it had played out just like she had wanted, she had manipulated him. The nerve she had to have to provoke him like this. Now it was personal Maya Hart, your heart would be his to crush, now it was on.
