chapter41Illegal

Contrary to Grace's 'rich and above all' attitude, she isn't the type to break the law. believe it or not, breaking the law is against her ethics code. yes, she has ethic codes. mostly because her dad would personally make sure to put her in prison but she does respect the law. of course she has been sued for harassment a few (countless) times but she would never kill, steal or destroy other people's property and do anything the law opposes.

But at this very moment, she wants nothing more than to tie Luna Lin up and threw her over a bridge - that isn't illegal. is it?

what happened to 'you won't even notice my presence'.

Luna took them to a really cool billiards club called 'Billy's. it wasn't crowded at all. it is a wide open space with about fifteen snooker tables and two bar stations. cool vibey music was playing in the background. they had a couple of shots and everything was going good and fine. they were chatting and laughing. Luna was not 'invisible' like she said she would be but Grace didn't mind. until a bunch of Luna's giggling friends came in, disrupting the entire vibes of things.

although she admired Luna's friends for their courage and carefree attitude. they were touching and flirting with such ease, she wanted to strangle them and threw them over the bridge. nothing illegal there.

just when things were starting to go from good to great. they were even flirting. giggles and smirks were involved (she was giggling and he was smirking and sometimes, reverse was the case).

it was perfect. Grace was starting to get convinced that Lucas really liked her back. she was even thinking as far as becoming Mrs Lin. and then it hit her. this person sitting and sucking in a corner watching a bunch of brats ruin her night is Not her. she came here to have fun on her date with miss third wheel. she has never let anyone obstruct her from her goals and she won't start now especially when the goal is to become future Mrs Lin.

the closer she got to Lucas and the giggling bunch, the more noticeable it is that Lucas is uncomfortable. who wouldn't be. she wasn't the center of their attention yet all the shrieking and giggling and their combined mixture of perfumes made her skin crawl.

Grace was about to shut them down when Luna pulled her aside.

"what!" Grace snapped with a glare

"I can explain. I posted some pictures and before you they are all here ..uhm I'm so sorry"

"for what exactly? for inviting your noisy friends, ruining my date, for irritating me so much I might explode?"

"I'm sorry" Luna whimpered

"you better get your friends out of here. or else"

Luna scurried away even before she finished her sentence.

Grace watched impatiently as Luna tried desperately to get her friends under control but the group shamelessly leached unto Lucas's arms.

'I have had enough'

she marched over to Lucas, pushed away one of the brats and held Lucas's surprisingly moist hand.

"leave." her sounded calm yet it felt demanding and intimidating. the girls finally stopped their noise and looked over at her. "don't make me repeat myself. else" she threatened.

everyone was silently staring at each other

"or else what?" one of the bratty girls spoke up. the girl had a smirk on her perfectly made up face that enraged Grace so much

'or else what huh? threw her over a bridge, shoot her, kidnap and torture her, burn down her house, send goons to beat her up?...

the list is unending and since she couldn't do any of those things, she settled for the next best thing. she slapped the girl so hard that miss bratty pants doubled over and landed face first on the floor.

"leave." this time around, the girls wasted no time to respond. they grabbed their friend that was still laying on the checkered tile floor and literally running away.

she was still steaming with rage when she felt a completely drunk Lucas rest his chin on her shoulder from behind.

"you know that wasn't necessary" Lucas whispered. his breath brushing against her ear and cheek causing Grace to shiver.

she looked around but no one seems to care about the scene she caused. not even the employees. it was like nothing happened.

"I don't know about that" Grace murmured

"uhm hmm" Lucas strong, muscular arms circled her waist and he snuggled closer, his head still resting on her shoulders.

after a while, she noticed that Lucas breathing became soft and his weight rested heavily on her.

"Lu... Lucas?" she called softly. no response

"Lucas?" still no response.

did Lucas fall asleep on her shoulders? yep.

so she did what any girl would do when her crush of over twelve years falls asleep on her shoulders. savor the moment for a little while longer.

but not long enough because Luna came rushing in "I'm so sorry"

"if you don't shut up this moment, you. will. regret it" Grace threatened in a whisper.

"I'm so sorry"

"shut it" Grace snapped

Lucas stirred a little bit but relaxed again.

"he is a sound sleeper especially he is tired or drunk" Luna said in a hush voice.

Grace responded with a 'duh' look

"help me get him into the car" Grace cf commanded

slowly but surely the two ladies managed to get Lucas into the car.

while Luna drove, Grace shamelessly snuggled the handsome drunk man in the backseat he looks so peaceful and delicate and "so cute" she whispered.
