My Most Precious One(114)

I looked around the store to see the patrons gawking at us like we had a tentacles spouting out of us. I waved slowly at them as they went back to their meal.

“When?” Roxi asked moving forward in her sit.

“Who?” Kaci asked dropping their fork on their plate.

I scooped up another bite.

“Bitch you better answer us before you eat that cause I’m about to have an aneurism!” Roxi threatened.

“How the hell do you want me to date when I’m at the freaken bar every day?” I challenged.

“Seriously?” Roxi’s eyes nearly bugged out.

“She has to be fucken kidding me?” She pointed at me but was talking to Kaci.

“The fucken bar is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.” Kaci picked up her fork again and shook her head.

“I knew you wouldn’t bother dating.” She said so knowingly that it almost made me pissed.

“I’m glad you know me so well.” I snapped.

“Lexi you’re still in love with Lukas, do you honestly think that you’re going to just pick up and date anyone now?” She tested me.

I knew she wanted to hear it, to hear me say that Lukas was the man I still loved but I wasn’t going to give away my feelings that easily to anyone anymore.

“Did I love Lukas yes but my life is about what I’m doing now. Speaking of men how about Erik it’s been awhile since we heard anything about him.” I shot back.

Both Roxi and I weren’t going to let on that we knew she was dating him. She was scared to death to date anyone. She never thought of herself worthy of any mans love but the girl was.

“Well?” I kept pushing.

“He’s moving here.” She said quietly.

“Shut up!” I cried out.

“He’s moving here for you?” I smiled.

“Kaci that’s great. Can we now meet him officially as your boyfriend cause this back and forth not knowing what was going on with you two was getting on our nerves.” Roxi admitted.

“When he comes back.” She tapped on the top of her crème brûlée.

We finished catching up and paid our bills, winter was coming to an end thank god. So we were able to walk around the old port a bit before heading out our separate ways. The sun was at a perfect height as it hit the tall buildings that made up the landscape of Montréal.

“It’s a gorgeous day.” I said as I looked up. That’s when I saw him walking down the street with a girl behind him; she had the same awestruck look that I did when I was with him. Fuck. All the blood in my body drained quickly, my heart was beating so loudly that I could scarcely hear the girls behind me. I felt my body grow cold. Lukas was here in Montréal with someone else. I fell back almost falling over when Roxi caught me.

“What’s wrong?” She cried out in a panic.

“Shit!” Kaci grabbed hold of me. They both help me up but the blood rushed down my body making me even dizzier, all I remember was Kaci crying out me name.

The heavy murmured beats of a song had slowly woken me up from my haze. Fuck I can’t believe I fainted. I rose up slowly putting my hands on my eyes. The light was a bit too bright, my head was still spinning and my body shook. I felt the cool satiny sheets across my chest as my knees pressed against them. That’s when I realized I wasn’t home or at a hospital. I finally opened my eyes and saw that I was in Lukas’ room. What the hell was I doing here?

Soft music was playing in the back ground as I was left alone in his room. I took his sheets off me and quietly tried to get up, hoping not to get noticed. I wanted out of here like yesterday. I still felt faint but I mustered up my strength and made my way across his room to the doorway. When I saw the coast was clear I headed downstairs.

I tiptoed down hoping to god Lukas wasn’t anywhere near the entryway. I looked around and didn’t see him. I stealthily made my way across to the hallway, I was pretty proud of myself, until I realized something as I stood in front of his elevator.

“Fuck!” I murmured quietly to myself.

“You’ll need the access key to leave.” I heard over my shoulder.

I slowly turned and saw Lukas with his arms crossed leaning against the hallway. I was so close, damn access key!

“Yeah sorry.” I began scratching the back of my head, I was kind of embarrassed that he caught me trying to sneak away but being here was my kryptonite.

He pushed himself off the wall and walked into his penthouse. I begrudgingly followed him making sure there was enough distance between us.

“So does this count as the second time you’re running out on me?” I see the angry Suit was alive and well.

“Why am I here?” I asked trying to avoid his previous question.
