Trouble magnet [209]

"I don't have to worry about myself. I believe you will protect me." I said realizing what I have done wrong earlier.

I have accidentally let Lucas get the idea that I wasn't bothered about myself. Because I was a witch and I knew a little about protecting myself but Lucas was completely unaware of this and just mentioning Cee's safety must have given him enough hint that something else was going on. Therefore I had to tell him that I believed in him to shift his focus. 

It wasn't entirely a false statement. I did feel very safe with him, just like I felt around Finn. The feeling was the same only with different emotions. Finn was like a fatherly figure to me while Lucas was someone I was still developing feelings for. The only thing I regretted here was using those words for my benefit. I wanted to let him know that he gave me a sense of ease, even though sometimes I felt so intimidated by him. But using those words to save myself felt very selfish.
