chapter Thirty Eight.

Zawadi was waiting for Lucas outside the hotel. She had gotten ready earlier than she had planned.

But then how could she not. She was overly excited.

She dialled Lucas's number.

" Where are you?" she asked into the phone

"I'm on my way just wait for me ,"he replied."By the way your up early " he said mockingly

"To be honest I've been so excited that I couldn't sleep. I spent the whole of last night thinking about how this day would go" she told him.

"Okay then, I'm on my way .Just give me a minute and I'll be there" he told her and hung up.

Zawadi was getting impatient she had been waiting for nearly ten minutes but he hadn't showed up yet. She was actually getting nervous and anxious at the same time. Maybe she was being paranoid, she thought to herself.

Just then Lucas vehicle pulled over near her. Excited she's jumped up and down like a child. I'm used Lucas came down from his car laughing.

" someone looks happy,"he teased

"Not today Mr steel " she replied still excited" Nothing will ruin my good mood not even your teasing" she said

"Come in then, let's go before we are late," he said

"Sure" she commented getting into his car.

As soon as they were both settled in he started the car and drove off.

The drive was a long one and she constantly turn to Lucas with a few questions of how she hoped her family would be like.

"are you sure they will love me? "she asked for the tenth time.

"Of course they will you already asked me this"he said for the tenth time rolling his eyes.

"Let's stop over so we can get some food"he suggested.

"That would be a great " she commented

"Thank you" she said when he open the door for her to get down

"You are welcome" he said

They went into a hotel, beautiful small but cozy hotel. Its exterior was beautifully decorated with flowers, wildflowers.

I love it," she said" Its simple but still beautiful. I mean look at it. Its like it's design to meet the expectations of people like you and people like me" she added

She turned around just in time to see a frown on his handsome face.

" What do you mean people like you? I don't like it when you look down on yourself. "he said.

People who have very little or no money"she said .

"I don't like it when you say that you know it" she said.

"I know, but it is the truth"she commented

"Come on cupcake, let's feed you" he said leading her in.

Zawadi gasped as she took in the sight before before her. The inside of the little cozy hotel was even better than the outside .Wildflowers of different colour adorned the walls, the floors and even the tables.

"let's eat" he said and they proceeded to do just that

After about an hour they went back to the journey. They travelled a couple of miles though note as far as they had before but almost as much.

Zawadi turned her face towards the mirror looking at the view outside the window. Before she knew it her eyes became heavy and she fell asleep.

Lucas looked at Zawadi, she looked so peaceful with her eyes closed and her lips slightly parted.

One could never know that those same eyes held beautiful brown orbs that always managed to reveal her emotions, and those lips tasted just like honey, enough to make man crave another taste.

But he wasn't ever going to let anyone near her enough to have a taste. She was only his.

He brought the car to a stop then leaned towards her. As if he could not control his hands, he lifted his finger and ran them over her bottom lip.

Stirring in her sleep, she lightly ran her tongue over his finger.

A grin crept on his face and he continued his actions. He slowly leaned forward and brushed his lips over hers.

She caught him by surprise when she turned and fully captured her lips with his. She moved her hands into his hair and pulled him closer.

"Lucas"she moaned unable to tell if it was a dream or reality.

After a few seconds he pulled back. She was now fully awake, her body alive with needs. Her breath was uneven and she leaned her head back in an attempt to steady it.

She turned to him still flushed.

"Kiss me again "she demanded her eyes trained on his lips.

"What? "he asked dumbfounded.

"Please, kiss me again. Once more please" she was desperate.

She hasn't realised just how much she had missed him, how much she had missed his lips on hers.

The power that flooded into her with every touch and every kiss, she hadn't known how terribly she still craved it.

He hesitantly leaned in and captured her lips again. This time he moved slowly , savouring her taste.

Her lips heated and soften just like they did every time he kissed her. It was like an oasis in the dessert and like a man possessed he dived deeper into the kiss, loving the submission from her.

The kiss became heated and Zawadi ended up on Lucas's lap. How she got there she didn't know but it didn't seem to bother her at the moment either.

She gasped when he bit onto her lower lip. He took the opportunity to slide his tongue inside her mouth , their tongues immediately fighting for dominance which he won.

When they eventually broke apart, they were both breathing heavily. Her eyes were still clouded and he watched as her breathing eased and they returned to their normal shade of brown.

"I missed that. I missed you. But that was my punishment for hurting you. Thank you for letting me kiss you. I've been dying to" he said running his palms up and down her back.
