Chapter 40
Lucinda's POV
This is all a dream right? A weird, horny, testosterone and cookies filled dream. Please tell me that Lucian fucking Morningstar isn't in my kitchen right now acting like he owns the place.
Dami abandoned whatever he was doing at the kitchen counter and approached him to greet him in a man-handshake-thing.
"Lucian my man... How's it been?"
"I literally saw you a few hours ago so it's still the same... Although I'm slightly annoyed now."
His eyes traveled to my waist where Chase's arms still were holding me securely. I felt him tighten his grip just a little bit... In like a possesive manner.
Much to Chase's reluctance I unwrapped his arms and walked towards Lucian, grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him out of the kitchen into the living room.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm not allowed to see you?"
"Cut the bullshit..."
"I was invited."
"By who?!"
"My most trusted soldier..."
Damn it Dami! I sighed in frustration. Why the fuck does everyone think that my house is suddenly a communal meeting place.
Just when I was about to tell him to leave he walked past me and went back to the kitchen. Panicked I followed him with the thought that he might do something stupid.
He pulled out a chair and sat down on the counter. I rolled my eyes at his attempt at socializing. I took out a few glasses from the cupboard and a bottle of wine. If I have guests I might as well be hospitable.
I poured them each a glass to and took a sip. Even though it would do nothing to me I felt like a needed a little liquid confidence. After a moment of silence Lucian turned to Chase with a glare.
"What your relationship to my princess?"
"She's my girlfriend... What's it to you?"
I chugged the entire glass of wine and Lucian turned to look at me.
"Since when did you start dating?"
I glared at him from across the table.
"Why can't I date?"
"Yeah why can't she?"
We all turned to look at a very offended Chase. He flinched slightly at all the attention but held Lucian's gaze firm. Lucian raised a brow.
"Pipe down peasant... I'm not saying she can't date... I'm saying she could do so much better than you"
"And who the fuck are you to her to make that judgment?"
"Her fia-"
"-Family... Yes we're family"
They all turned at my sudden outburst. Lucian looked at me confused and I returned it with a slight glare. Dami was leaning against the counter with Donavan who were eating cookies while my life was falling apart.
"Family?"
Lucian raised an offended brow at me with a scowl and I stared at him with a blank expression on my face. How dare he try to announce me as his fiancée... In front of my boyfriend?!
"His um dad is my uh... Guardian?"
"So you guys are like brother and sister?"
This time the quiet Donavan spoke after watching all of this unfold. By the way... Why is he at my house?
"No!"
Lucian screamed and we all look at him. He composed himself and ran his hand through his obsidian hair then rubbed his ocean blue eyes.
"No urchin... We are far from brother and sister... Some would even say we're destined to be lo-"
"-Loganberry farmers"
I mentally slapped myself on the forehead. Loganberry farmers? Seriously? Of all things I said Loganberry farmers?! Quick think of something that won't make you sound dumb.
"It's a family business... So anyway what are you guys doing at my house?"
Dami made a face.
I frowned and Donavan remained silent.
"Are you seriously telling me you forgot?"
"Forgot what?"
I asked completely dumbfound. Did forget something important? It's doesn't feel like I did but the look Dami is giving made me want to sink into the ground and never come back.
"Bitch so you're actually telling me that you forgot that tomorrow is your birthday?!"
"What?!"
All of them exclaimed at the same time making me flinch slightly at the sudden noise.
"Yeah... That's why I'm here baking cookies... Tia wants to make you a picnic tomorrow at the park. Didn't you get the invite?"
Thats when it occurred to me that I hadn't checked my phone at all today and that I forgot my own birthday... Donavan was right.
I do care about others more than I care about myself... So much to forget my own birthday.
"Babe... I hate to leave you like this but if I want to be prepared for tomorrow and get you a gift I have to go"
"But you don't have to get me anything..."
I felt a little bit sad that our time together was ruined by these cockblockkers. Why the hell did they have to be here today... Oh right... My birthday.
"You're right... I don't have to... I want to. I'll see you tomorrow."
He placed a lingering kiss on my lips then left. Donavan also muttered something about it being late and left leaving me with Dami and Lucian.
"Princess... Why didn't you tell me it was your birthday tomorrow?"
"Because I forgot okay... Make sure Dami doesn't burn down my house since the last time you were near a stove-"
"Yes yes I almost killed us but it's not like I made all of these... Your biker friend can bake. I was in a much bigger crisis before he arrived."
"By the way... What was he doing here?"
"Looking for you... He had a pretty busted up knuckle though. Like he was punching something or someone..."
I sighed. I'm guessing the conversation with Lynn didn't go so well... I made a mental note to speak to him about it tomorrow.
I bid them a goodnight and left the kitchen and went to my room but not before grabbing a cookie and a glass milk.
After my little snack I realized that I didn't really eat much today but put the thought aside. I'll eat tomorrow. I changed into my pajamas and climbed into my bed losing consciousness the moment my head touched pillow.
