Chapter 6

He caressed my cheek and came closer to me, he placed his warm lips on mine as I instinctively closed my eyes. He nibbed on my lower lip, asking for permission to go further. I opened my mouth and his hot tongue barged in. My toes curled up in arousement. He was eating me up and I didn't mean to enjoy it that much.

He placed his right arm on my bare thighs and pulled them up and on him, it made me closer to his body. I let out a small squeak at the interaction. I ran my hands up his head as I frantically wanted him closer. He sucked on my lower lip then to my tongue and continued the cycle. I let out silent squeaks as he added touches to my thighs up my back side. His groans at every interaction just made it so much better.

I had completely lost all senses of time and place. I didn't notice when he began caressing my chest, he circled around the tip with his finger which made me let out a loud squeak. We were hungry and it only got more aggressive.

I finally managed to pull back, I looked at him as I kept panting. Our lips were red and swollen from the aggressive contact, I gently wiped off his lips. He came a bit closer and pecked my lips, which ended up becoming another hot make out session.

His eyes were still half closed when he said, “I know I won't be able to do this in reality but this felt so surreal already. I have to stay away from Claire before I fall for her completely." He snored the words out and confirmed he was still in fact asleep, even after what happened.

I guess he doesn't want to complicate things with the real me, he'd rather make out with the dream me. I laid there for a few minutes before leaving for my room because I was feeling sleepy already.

I woke up feeling warm, wrapped up in someone's embrace. I was in shock at how I'm still here, didn't I leave?. “Oh shoot, I must have dreamt about leaving and not actually left" i said, hitting my hand on head. I noticed Lucas waking up and quickly closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep.

He opened his eyes and I was the first sight to his eyes. He immediately pulled back, with confusion in his eyes. “How did she?, what is she?" He questioned himself. He immediately covered his mouth when he said, “The dream?!, It can't be. It can't be"

He stood up and went to the shower to wash his face. I already stood up and left for my room, I wasn't ready for his questions this morning. I had to get in touch with Bianca and Sophie, they would have been worried sick. I left my phone at the sleepover so there was no way they could reach me.

Lucas was completely in confusion as he wondered what happened between him and Claire. He remembered dreaming about her and having a wrenching hot make out session with her, but it wasn't real, he thought. He tried so much to discard the thoughts but he couldn't. He was scared, scared he has committed an abomination of being intimate with a human.

Claire noticed his confusion and tried to distract him from thinking so much. “Hey, I just came to your room this morning to say thank you but you were still sleeping. I didn't know when I slept off too" Claire said to change the narrative. Lucas just nodded and continued cutting tomatoes on the kitchen rack.

“Lucasss" Claire sang as she went behind him and put her arms around his torso. Lucas was startled and flustered, his face becoming red at the sudden contact. Claire's lips slightly brushed his bare back as she turned her face to the side. It made Lucas shiver a bit. “Muchas Gracias" Claire said thank you.

Lucas chuckled and said “Gwenchana yo" meaning it's okay. Claire also began to laugh at the language switches. Lucas held Claire's arm around his waist and turned around to face her. He began walking forward which made Claire trapped between the sink and Lucas.

Lucas carried Claire up on the counter near the sink and parted her thighs to come in. Claire gasped and looked up. She thought to herself, “is this a Mafia movie or what". Lucas reached up and took the grater in the cabinet above.

He took it and went back to the kitchen rack to grate the onions. Claire was left embarrassed as she was expecting something else. She let out a mild cough and got down from the counter.

“Uhm, I'll go get freshened up. My friends will have been worried sick about me" Claire said walking up the stairs. Lucas thought to himself, “I'm not sure the dream was real but coming behind me to fluster me up?, two can play at that game.”he chuckled.

Claire finished dressing up and came downstairs for breakfast. “Our project defense is fast approaching, we need to finish up the project “ Lucas said in a serious tone. " Yeah, totally “ Claire agreed.

"I know you might not be comfortable enough to talk about last night but be careful. You never know who to trust and who not to" Lucas said as he ate. “Yeah, thank you so much for yesterday. I take back all the insults" Claire said apologetically.

“You do realize that I'm not going to take that shabby apology, I'll get even but not at the moment. I have things to take care of" Lucas said as he began to cough from choking. “Only if you're still alive, pretty boy" Claire laughed and took her dishes to the kitchen. She came back, patted Lucas on his head and headed for the door.

“This doesn't make us friends, Claire RavenWood!" Lucas exclaimed. “Definitely, Lucas Green" Claire smiled and waved him off.

Claire's POV

I got an Uber and drove straight to Sophie's house. I met them crying and they both screamed when they saw me alight the vehicle. We all cried for thirty minutes, nobody asked any questions. Sophie just asked if I was okay and I told her I was. We watched movies and ate until it was time to go home.

I got home and to my surprise, my dad was home. "Claire!,where have you been?” He raised his voice so loudly and harshly, I couldn't stop the tears from rolling down. " Oh my God, do we have to do this every time?. What's with the crocodile tears?!. Answer my question!”. I've always hated this man, he treats me like I'm some object waiting to be sold off when I'm ripe enough.

I dashed upstairs with tears stinging my eyes and locked my room from inside. Mom tried to talk to me but I wasn't interested. I needed to sort out my feelings, I eventually cried myself to sleep till the next day.

I woke up with puffy eyes but I still managed to get dressed for school. Henry tried talking to me about how dad just cares about me and that's why he gets worried so easily. I completely shut him off and went on my day.

I managed to scale through the first few classes before lunch, I was so hungry. I was eating like a rabid dog in the cafeteria. Sophie asked, “C, are you okay?", concerned. “Yes Soph, just a bit hungry and tired" i said , sighing.

“Do you want to go sleep in the nurse's office?" Bianca suggested. "I think I need that “ I said, sighing again. " Don't worry, love. We'll make an excuse for you" Bianca said.

I eventually got to the nurse's office and layed down on the bed, I soon fell asleep after a few minutes. I heard rustling of plastic bags which made me wake up, as the light sleeper I am.

“What are you doing here?" I asked. “I figured you'd need some snacks and patches" he answered. “Oh. My. God. You're in love with me!" I said covering my mouth with my palm.

He laughed out loud, " That's near impossible which is even more impossible” he laughed even more. "Just take it, I got it for you.”

"Then help me with it." I said throwing it back at him. He didn't even budge, he just picked up his phone and left. "Luke!” I called out.

He stopped in his tracks, " I told you to stop calling me that!”. "You wouldn't answer me,I had to make you stay” I said. "Now who's in love" he rolled his eyes and put the patches on me.

He put the last patch on the bruise beside my lips, he was so focused on this patching thing. He looked so hot up close. He noticed I was looking at his face, I bit my lip nervously and he gulped. “Don't do that" he warned. He stood up and wiped off the imaginary dust on his trousers.

“Don't bite your lips like that, it's distracting. Only strippers do that" he said, avoiding eye contact and acting weird. “Ouu, look who's flustered “ I said teasingly. " It's rather unwise to have such thoughts “ he corrected, in a very serious tone.

"Take care, Miss Claire “ he left. I thought to myself, " did he just ‘classmate-zone’ me?!, what a punk!”. I ate the snacks the weirdo gave me and slept off again. My body ached so much from the accident the previous day. I couldn't even tell my parents judging from the way Dad overreacted.
