CHAPTER 20
I slowly tried to get myself out of Lucas’ embrace, but that seemed to be more challenging than I thought it would. Lucas was still half asleep when he tightened his grip around me, not letting me get out of bed.
“Lucas. Lucas, wake up.” I said.
His eyes started fluttering open and he was looking straight at me. I realized that I was only centimeters away from his face, and he held me there for a little longer than I thought he would. I was expecting him to let go of me when he realized that he had such a tight grip on me, but he held me there staring me in the eye.
I felt Lucas move his hand up towards my face where he moved my hair away from my face and he placed his fingers under my ear while his thumb was in front of my ear and he pulled me in that little bit closer and he kissed me. He kissed me so slowly and so gentle that it made my heart stop for a moment.
That was completely different from my unpleasant first kiss. And if that’s what they are meant to be like, I might be able to get used to it.
“Breakfast.” Jax yelled from downstairs. And I looked towards the door before I looked back at Lucas.
“I have to admit, that’s the best kiss I’ve ever had.” Lucas said, still staring me in the eye.
“I’m not that good at it. Or maybe you're just worse.” I teased.
“Ouch.” He said, mocking heartache by placing his hands over his heart.
At least that made it a little more relaxed between us and not so tense and awkward after he kissed me.
But he could still see the concern on my face.
“How’s your eyesight?” He asked.
“Almost back to normal.” I said, sitting up. And he could tell that I was nervous about today. I still had a bandage on the side of my head.
“Are you worried about school today?” He asked, sitting up and leaning towards me.
“Is it that obvious?” I asked, turning to face him on the bed.
“If you want, that kiss can be our little secret. No one has to know but us.” He said. And I nodded my head.
I think that would be best since Madison and Grace tried to strip my clothes off of me the other day because they thought I was trying to slut my way to the new guys. And now I was living with the new guys. I didn’t know how this was going to go over. Everyone was going to know.
Lucas and I went downstairs to the kitchen and Jax had made bacon and eggs for breakfast and it smelled delicious. I hadn’t eaten breakfast like this in so long.
We sat around the island in the kitchen while we were eating and I did see that there was a lot of food in the middle of the table but I knew that these guys probably ate a lot. I didn’t want to take too much. So I only took a little at first and they were all watching me.
“Do you always eat like a mouse?” Lucas asked.
“Are you guys going to eat most of that? Besides, I probably won’t be able to eat too much anyway. I’m not used to big meals like this.” I said.
“Wow. This isn’t a big meal.” Jax said. But I just sat there eating while the others dug in.
I noticed that the atmosphere in the house had become lighter and a lot more cheerful. The guys were paying out on each other and Lucas ended up throwing a piece of bacon at Jax, so Jax threw some back at Lucas. I was just trying to dodge it and not get hit at all.
Harry wasn’t saying too much, but he was laughing at the other two even if he wasn’t getting involved and he wasn’t talking too much.
I remember Jax telling me that Harry was the one that did a lot for me when I was hurt. He was the one that broke the door down or something and he went out to stand up to dad in order to get rid of him at the hospital. He had been protecting me without me really knowing it.
I would glance over at him occasionally and he always had his eyes calmly and intensely fixed on me. I wasn’t sure what it was, but it almost felt like he was sort of claiming ownership over me or something. It was strange. It felt like he was claiming me, but not in a bad way. Not like my father always did.
There seemed to be a sense of normalcy and warmth to the household. Something that I wasn’t used to and it actually surprised me because of this sudden change. But also because there are three bachelors living in this one house and they acted more like family.
I couldn’t help but enjoy the safety I was feeling and not to mention the feeling of belonging. It was safe here and I knew that it was mine. I know that it will never change because they have vowed to help me and protect me.
I wasn’t sure what was going to happen after they helped me. I didn’t know if I would still be welcome here or if I would have to find my own way after that. But if that does happen, I can only hope that I will be strong enough to do it.
For now, I’m just going to enjoy what’s happening right now.
They were making me feel really comfortable and I couldn’t help but smile at the guys while they were messing around. But Lucas ducked the last bit of bacon and I didn’t get out of the way in time.
“Is that in my fucking hair?” I asked. And Lucas started laughing.
“I am so sorry. It was meant for him.” Jax said, pointing to Lucas. So I grabbed some bacon from the plate in the middle of the table and threw it at Jax, covering him in it. Causing Lucas to laugh even harder and I even saw Harry chuckle.
“Asshat.” I said.
