Even though Luc is already awake, he still seems groggy and a bit slow.But Mika is more than happy that he's awake already at least. Mika wounds down the window a bit to let some fresh air come in as they are well known cures for grogginess and this only just lets Lily have a way to speak to them."Ah, finally. Will you come down now? You can't leave here without our permission anyway. And Mika, you're usually too scared to drive for as long as I've known you and Lucas can't drive in this state of his either. You'll either have to come in and let's face whatever it is that needs to be faced or you'll sleep in the car all night. It's your choice."They just ignore her as they attend to themselves.Luc looks at Mika and holds her face. "Are you okay? I hope he wasn't able to touch you?" He asks, his voice sharpening slightly.She touches his palms on her face and smiles softly. "Because of you, he didn't succeed. You came just in time. Thank you.""That's a big relief.""I'm sorry for
More than thirty minutes later, the car finally comes to a stop and the smoke becomes immense and thick.Both of the park the car by the roadside and descend.Luc looks around. "While waiting for the driver to show up, how about we get some deserved late lunch? We can have a better dinner when we get back home?""Please, I won't mind eating anything right now. All that adrenaline has made me so hungry.""Figured. Come on." He takes her hand and they head into the all day open convenience store beside them. The door jingles slightly as it opens and the sound makes Mika kind of relaxed.She looks around the place is snack heaven.Luc looks around inside and whispers to her. "It's a Korean themed convenience store so we can have some instant cup noodles with sausages and other toppings we want. Are you interested in that?""Cup noodles sound perfect. I'll go prepare the table." She smiles and walks off in the direction of the sitting area by the window the store, overlooking where their
For the whole ride home, Mika's heart is just a mass of excitement and tons of stealing glances.Lucas Santinello, THE LUCAS SANTINELLO just told her that he loves her? She pinches herself like she's done ten times in last thirty minutes. It's been like a dream.They had both walked out from the convenience store holding hands and she had been suffering from the giggles since then. They had gotten into the ride and on the way, her head has been resting on his shoulder the entire ride.She suddenly giggles again and Luc bursts into laughter. "You really are a bit shocked. You've been giggling for a while now." He mutters, tilting his head down her way to be able to see her.She blushes. "Isn't it deserving?"He chuckles slightly. "So... If you don't mind me asking, since when did you start liking me?"Luc laughs outrightly. "I've been looking for you for five years plus. Do you think I'd look for someone I wasn't interested in?" He tilts her chin up to meet his. "I missed you, really
Willow's eyes narrows, spying on Danielle as she trails behind Danielle, her gaze fixed on her oblivious and unaware form as she walks through the mall. They weave through the bustling corridors of the mall, the sounds of laughter and chatter filling the air. Willow's expertly trained ears picked up every snippet of conversation, every rustle of clothing, as she keeps her distance so Danielle won't notice she's been followed.With a swift, practiced motion, Willow slipped a small listening bug into Danielle's bag in a simple walk by as she pauses to admire a storefront display. The device was tiny, almost undetectable, and would transmit every word spoken within a five mile radius directly to Willow's earpiece and other listening devicesAs Danielle continued her leisurely stroll, Willow followed, her eyes scanning the surroundings with a mix of curiosity and calculation. She noted the way Danielle's gaze lingered on the high-end boutiques, the way her fingers trailed over the design
That day, back in the Anderson's.Reese walks around the gateway with a man dressed corporately a black suit and tie and carrying a small leather bag. "This is what she did to my gate!" He explains, the pain in his voice. "She just drove her car right through my gate and didn't stop. This is sure isn't it?"The mysterious man turns around. "Of course. This is extreme damage to property. We can sue for a lot of things and even her to pay damages for everything. She's such an ungrateful daughter."Reese snickers. "She's much worse than that. If I should start to recount everything she has done to my wife, my daughter and I, you'll probably cry for us or even take this case for free.""Wow. She must hate you a lot.""We do as well, it's probably mutual if ours is not more than hers.""I see. Do you have any form of proof that she did this?""Aren't people more than enough?""Well, if they are regular people, they are but if they are your family, it'll be hard to prove their true testimon
About an hour earlier... A man in a dark grey hoodie makes his way into the mall, looking around suspiciously as he looks around. He attracts the look of some security men around but they only keep their eyes on him through the cameras since following him might be very obvious and in situations like that, it can harm the mall's reputation as being suspicious and giving their customers bad eyes like they are thieves. He walks through the mall, stopping occasionally to look at some things, he'd look at them for about two minutes and keep moving, obviously taking mental note of some things. He then comes to stop in front of a Swarovski jewellery shop and there's a smile on his face as he pulls open the glass doors and enter, leaving the camera feed. Immediately, the security in charge gears up and leave his base for the shop he had entered into. The security, as he steps into the shot meets him threatening the staff in there. "Give me all your money and the jewelry in here. From th
Immediately, the head of security grabs him from the back, the handcuffs already in his hands. "That's what you get for messing with the wrong people."Just then, the police arrives and the security guard hands him over to them for proper investigation.Luc walks back to meet Mikayla. "I was so worried for you. Don't just go headfirst into troubles like that, okay?"She rolls her eyes. "See who's talking? You literally just strolled to him even when he was wielding a knife. Thank goodness you were able to distract him just in time. Don't do that again as well. Okay?"Luc laughs. "Truce then?""Truce. But thanks, it means a lot that you helped me.""Isn't that obvious already? That I'll come here to help?""Well, can't really say but you got here quite fast, faster than I could even imagine. You're a keeper." She runs her hand up and down on his shoulders. She looks behind his tall frame and sees a figure approaching. She taps him to turn around and he does.It's the woman from earlier
At the dainty but cute coffee shop, Luc pulls open a chair for Mikayla and she has her seat, looking around at the cute murals on the wall.There's a jutting out wall in the middle of cafe where there are tons of writings on the wall. Cute texts, phone numbers, couple dates and declarations of love."This place is actually kind of nice. I like the ambience here." She remarks as she looks over the menu in front of her. A pretty young lady with blue tipped hair comes to take their order."What would you have?" She asks, a small note in her hand.Mika turns to Luc, who has been oddly silent since those calls he had blocked but now he's on his phone back. "I would have the creme brulee. It looks good from the small picture here.""There are sizes to it ma'am. Which would you like to have? Small, medium or large?"Luc is still not responding. "We'll take the medium and share it. I'd also like a caramel latte with extra cream." Mika nudges Luc. "What would you have?""Uhm... Black coffee.
