Chapter 10
I held my coffee close to me as I followed Lucas, I wonder what he had to say? what could he even say
that Is so important? maybe he was going to tell me that whatever we had was just a joke? or maybe
that it isn''t worth losing his job over. All these thoughts going around my head I swear I could scream.
"Lizzie can you please just stop over analysing this for once and at least let me speak before you
determine what I am going to say?" Lucas was watching me once again, a smirk upon his face making
me blush.
"How is it you always know what''s going on in my mind? it’s scary" I sit down on the sofa opposite from
where Lucas sat as I met his gaze, maybe I was thinking the worst? maybe what he has to say will be
good
"You make the most adorable faces when you are deep in thought, your eyebrows scrunch up and I
was speaking to you for like five minutes with no response, so you were clearly elsewhere" Lucas was
smirking at me once again as another blush worked its way across my face
"You were speaking to me for five minutes?" My face disyed horror, how could I not hear him for five
minutes
"Well maybe it was only 30 seconds, but who''s counting" Lucas started tough, thank god it was only
30 seconds, five minutes would have just been too embarrassing.
"and here I was thinking you disliked liars" I wink at him, containing myughter as I attempted to
maintain a stone face
"Very true, Miss Sevenfold. Now time to get serious, I have something I need to discuss" His attitude
and body posture changedpletely, he went fromughing and joking to his usually guarded
expression
"I really don’t know if I should be scared right now" I force a smile as a million thoughts run through my
head
"Worried, yes. That''s probably an emotion I''d expect. I know what I am about to say is going to be a lot
for you to take in and I understand if you won''t be able to answer me right away, or even if you don''t
understand what it is I am even trying to say, so please just give me a chance to exin this to you" He
was watching me again, a strange look upon his face. He said I would be right to be worried, and that
he doesn’t think I would understand? what could be that bad? he said I won''t be able to answer him
right away, so he''s going to ask me something, something I should be worried about.
I realise I was lost in my thoughts as he remained silent watching me.
"er yeah, of course I''ll listen" I sip my coffee, hoping it would calm my nerves as I waited patiently for
him to speak.

"Well, it shoulde as no surprise for me to say this, but I like you Lizzie. From the moment you
turned upte and disrespected me, there was something about you, your deviance, the way you
spoke back to me, you weren’t afraid to challenge me, you were like a breath of fresh air. I have gone
against a lot of rules is set for myself with you Lizzie, I couldn''t control myself, and well now I have
allowed to be at risk. So, I really hope you consider everything I am about to say. It should also be no
surprise that I like being in Charge, I love having control, in more ces then just the ssroom. How
do I say this? I never had a problem exining before, I guess I''m just afraid of loosing you Miss
Sevenfold" Heughs nervously as I continue to watch him.
Afraid of loosing me? what could be that bad that he thinks I would walk away from whatever this is.
"You''re Nervous, I don''t think I have even seen you nervous" I sip more of my coffee, ensuring my eyes
never left his, Lucas smirked at my remark
" I thought you weren''t going to interrupt, I thought you were going to let me speak? there you go with
the Deviance again Miss Sevenfold, just what will I do with you" Lucasughs, the nervous tension
leaving, well at least I could make himugh
"I wasn''t nning on interrupting Lucas, but I was simply making an observation, now what has you so
nervous? what do you need to tell me? I swear I won''t interrupt this time" I hug my knees to my chest,
waiting for the worst toe, he admitted he liked me, so where could this go? what is he hiding.
"I think you bring out many things in me Miss Sevenfold, I mean me, Nervous? who would have
thought it. I guess I''m afraid that you''ll decide that this is not something you desire, and that you will
leave. This is what I mean, I allowed myself to get close to you Miss Sevenfold, I have kissed you
several times, I should have never have done that, I should have warned you about me, warned you
about my lifestyle, that way from the start you would have been prepared, but I know I simply cannot let
you go, I want you Lizzie, I Need you." My eyes widen, what is he trying to say? what lifestyle? he
admitted he can''t let me go, he needs me. I feel my cheeks burn at the thought.
"Okay, well how do I even say this, I guess it''s easier to show you, will youe with me Miss
Sevenfold?" Lucas stands and holds out his hand, waiting for me to take it.
I ce my hand in his as he leads me out of the room and up the stairs, he stops outside a door before
turning and facing me.
"Are you sure you are ready for this Miss Sevenfold? remember you are free to leave whenever you
want, I don''t want you to feel as though I am keeping you here"
The puzzle in my mind finally pieces together as everything begins to make sense! how did I not see
this before
"Oh Lucas for god sake. Stop being nervous. Just open the bloody door" I face the door, waiting for my
analysis to be proven correct.
Lucas watches me carefully, his eyes darkening as if he was about to say something about my sudden
outburst, instead he ces a key in the lock of the door and clicks it open. As he opens the door and
switches the light on, I gasp as my suspicions are confirmed.
