Evie

Michelle's behaviour could be sensed throughout a thousand miles radius that something was off,Bowen and Lucas was no exception.

It made both their heart tightened. They wanted to go comfort her but non wanted to back down for the other and they ended up in a serious argument.

By the time they were done,Michelle was already fast asleep. They didn't have the heart to wake her up.

The following day....

Michelle woke up with a spinning headache and her vision was blurry,it took a moment for her to adjust to the light.

Memories of yesterday resurfaced and her heart saddened.

She sluggishly took her bath and dressed. She didn't plan on going to school.

"Michy bae,are you not going to school", Bowen asked softly.

"No,I don't feel to good",she said dismissively.

"Oh okay,come down breakfast is ready",he said and dragged her down.

Michelle let herself be dragged down, she was wondering if Lucas was still at home.

To her surprise Lucas was at home, "Lucas aren't you going to school",she asked trying to suppress her surprise.

"No. Are you disappointed?",he answered coolly.

Michelle blushed from embarrassment when she remembered the last time she skipped school and Lucas came to pick her.

Looking into his eyes Michelle felt like she had done the most terrible thing and couldn't hold eye contact with him.

Bowen saw everything that happened, the feeling in the air and really wished to kill Lucas.

'How dare he try and snatch my sister away from me?",he questioned himself.

Michelle noticed that Mark was absent from breakfast,so she asked about him.

"Why isn't Mark here? This has never happened before",she asked.

"He went for work,you miss him?',Lucas answered in a voice that suggested another meaning.

Michelle didn't answer him and continue playing with her food as she didn't have any appetite.

"Is it not delicious?",Bowen asked, noticing that she isn't eating.

"No!! I just don't have an appetite",she said.

"What is the matter? Did someone bully you?",Bowen asked concerned.

"No,it's just that after Grace betrayed me,the only close friend I have left is Jake and now he is leaving the school", she explaining with tears threatening to fall.

Bowen wasn't very familiar with Jake but he did know he was one of Michelle's childhood close friends. His heart ached.

The temperature in the dinning hall dropped significantly after she explained and one needn't asked not to know it was from Lucas.

After her no one else talked till they were done eating and Bowen cleared the table.

Michelle went to the living room and suddenly remembered Hazel,she hasn't seen that bitch ever since she caught her in the act.

Thinking of that made her mood which had improved earlier to drop again. She subconsciously glance at Bowen pondering on whether or not to tell him.

Then she remembered that her dad was coming back home this weekend,her face because pale with worry.

"Michelle,go get dressed and lets head out together",Lucas said calking her back to reality.

"I don't...",she swallowed back her words when she met his gaze,walked up obediently and changed into a more presentable outfit.

"Nice",Lucas commented when he saw her and Michelle heat up. 'This was the first time he is complementing me!!'.

They went to a desert shop which by the looks one could tell it was an expensive place.

"Looks like they don't have lots of customers",Michelle commented when she didn't see anyone their.

'Who will eat at such an expensive place anyways?', Michelle said to herself.

"That's because I booked the whole place",he answered with a smirk.

"And why will you do such a thing?!", Michelle shouted,pitying his money.

"So I can do this",and with that he crashed his lips into hers.

He continued to indulge her in a passionate kiss,leaving no chance for her to breath.

He only let her go when she almost fainted,by then her lips was already a bit swollen.

With all the energy she had left in her she glared hatefully at him while still resting on his chest.

"Adorable",he said and planted a faint kiss on her forehead before carrying her in bridal style to the closest sit.

Michelle was too out of breath to notice the complement.

"Why did you bring me here?",she asked when she caught her breath.

"To get to know each other,as you said you wanted to be friends with me",he said emotionlessly.

"When did I?",she cried out even though she wanted to he friends with him deep down.

Lucas didn't reply instead he called the waiter while Michelle scanned the environment.

She ordered fried chicken while Lucas asked for wine.

"Why don't you want chicken?",she asked curiously.

"It isn't good for the health,I only allowed you to have it since I can't stop you" ,he explained frowning.

Michelle jaw dropped, "are you saying g you never ate fried chicken",she asked and he nodded in affirmation.

"You got to try it...",Michelle trying her possible best to convince him and finally he agreed to try it.

When the chicken came,Michelle personally fed it to him making Lucas stunned.

He did enjoy it but refused to give in. All he did was allow Michelle to eat it while he eat only the one she fed him.

"Tell me about yourself",Lucas said like a detective interrogation a suspect.

"Okay. I was raised and brought up here in Toronto,Canada. I didn't really have much friends only Grace and Jake. Mom died five years ago and my dad married Hazel for her to take care of me,except for that nothing else matters. Oh yeah and I have a phobia for water and animal",she said in a hushed voice.

Lucas listened carefully trying to match the information she gave him with another that he have.

"Have you ever fallen to a big river?", Lucas asked after sometime.

"Hell no!",she shouted.

Lucas nodded and took a sip from his wine.

"Your turn"

"I had a slightly fair childhood as per a rich man son and took over the company when I clocked fifteen",he answered emotionlessly.

"Such a young age",Michelle exclaimed getting envious of his luck. If only she knew.

'Maybe she isn't her. Then I guess I don't have to waste my time on her. But the way her eyes glows is exactly like hers, but Evie isn't afraid of water and animal. Sigh',Lucas thoughts silently.
