I love you

 Dionne was already prepared to reject all his rules but what? Sleep in the same room?

"I am not a prostitute," She gritted out.

"I never said you were one, your dirty mind translated a basic action such as sleeping to having sex," Lucas deadpanned.

Dionne blushed slightly when he exposed that she read too much meaning into his words. "Anyways, I can't sleep on the same bed as you."

"Do you detest sleeping with me that much?!" Lucas's gaze turned fierce at the indirect rejection he just received.

"Yes. I detest the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you eat... don't make me detest the way you sleep also," Dionne scoffed.

"Why do you hate me?" Only a person in love would understand how much emotion Lucas' question held despite him putting on an indifferent face. To hear her say all those things to his face without even mincing her words made his heart ache in a way he was sure will lead him to an earlier death.
