Chapter 29

Lucinda's POV

I woke up this morning to a very cheerful Dami at my house. After playing with a Evgeny for a bit he decided it was a good thing to annoy me.

After scolding him like a child I told him to feed Evgeny and change his litter box while I got ready to leave. I figured I should go dressed comfortably. I put on a pair of grey sweatpants and a matching hoodie.

I put on my favorite steel-tipped boots and grabbed some stuffed to go. Not knowing what to do with my hair I just braided it.

Imagine my surprise when I walked into my living room and found Chase, Donavan and Damiano having a casual conversation like Dami didn't just call them extras yesterday.

Donny was the first to notice me and waved his hand at me which got the attention of the others who proceeded to greet me too.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"The extras said that they were coming along..."

Great!

More testosterone... Chase glared at him and said something.

"Going to help you at the storage house... Diego said you might need it"

I looked at Donny, sort of expecting him to give his reason for being here and he just shrugged.

"Had nothing better to do"

I rolled my eyes and walked to the kitchen and I realized something...

"Dami!"

I yelled and he back in response.

"Should I bring snacked or are we going to buy some?"

"Gas station snacks always have a certain flaire to them!"

Not lying there. I grabbed a bottle of water and grabbed my stuff to leave. After everyone was outside I left a note for Lucian to take care of Evgeny for me.

Just incase he doesn't come over I texted him so I don't leave Evgeny alone for so long. I unlocked my car and began to walk towards it.

"Shotgun!"

I watched as Dami ran across the lawn and got into the passenger seat of my car. Chase's eye twitched slightly and let out a deep breath.

He went to open one of the back doors and Dami locked the doors before he could even touch the handle. Chase glared at him through the glass and I huffed in annoyance.

"Take your own car!"

"This isn't even your car..."

"Well... Mea Regina is my best friend so..."

"And she's my girlfriend!"

"I've known her longer than you!"

I rolled my eyes... We're never going to leave are we?

Donny walked over to a fuming Chase and said something to him that seemed to calm him down. He proceeded to walk to me and then gave me a... hug?

I was throughly confused but I returned the hug. He pulled and smiled at me and I smiled back... What did Donavan tell him?!

"I'll ride with Donavan... But when we come back I'm riding with you..."

He kissed my forehead and got into Donavan car's passenger seat. Donavan switch his car on and backed out of the driveway because he was behind me and drove off.

Dami gave me a weird look and I shrugged. I got in the car and followed them. Not even ten minutes into the drive Chase FaceTime'd me and I put my phone on the holder.

"Hey..."

"Hi... What's with the call?"

"Just wanted to talk to you since someone took away that opportunity from me..."

"That someone is right here..."

Dami popped his head in front of my phone camera obscuring Chase's view from me.

"Move your big head... I can't see Lucy!"

"Well unfortunately you can't see her at the moment because using your phone while driving is a safety hazard..."

"Wha-uh-ugh! Lucy!"

"Leave me out of it..."

"Buh-bye now..."

"Wai-"

Dami ended the call and cackled like a witch. I looked at him with a smug look on my face.

"Why do you torture him?"

"The fact that he thinks he's good enough for my best friend is absolutely absurd!"

"What? Did you want him to ask permission first?"

"Well duh..."

"It's not I'm getting married..."

"Okay... Enough about the extra who clearly needs a haircut... Let's listen to some Doja Cat!"

I chuckled and let Dami connect my phone to the car via Bluetooth and played Doja Cat's album 'Planet Her'.

After about an hour of screaming our lungs out to a bunch of Doja songs we stopped at a gas station and while I was filling up the tank Chase and Dami went to buy snacks.

I suggested that Donavan go instead because I was afraid Dami and Chase might start some sort of fight in the store but he wouldn't let anyone touch his car... Even when filling up the gas.

I leaned against my car and sighed while I waited for Dami and Chase to come back. Donavan was still filling up his car and I watched him intently.

His face was pretty neutral and he was currently showing any emotion. I noticed his nose was slightly crooked like it has been broken before.

He had a very nice jawline but it appeared stiff so I assumed it's because he was clenching his jaw. His curling hair was brushing against his forehead as the wind blew it slightly. His eyes were focused in front of him but also looked distant... Like he spaced out.

"If I had known you were so interested in me I would have worn my best leather jacket"

Crap!

He noticed me staring at him. Not in a creepy way... I just thought he looked good. Not like I was gonna tell him that.

"Really... I thought they all looked the same"

He scoffed at my weak response but honestly I didn't really have time to think of something better to say. He turned around and put the pipe back into the machine just as Dami and Chase walked out the store looking like they bought everything inside.

Well- mostly Dami.

After loading everything into the car we took off and continued on our journey.
