[|]Today was the last day of my first year in college and I was excited to finish the last paper. It was the easiest course for me so it didn't give me any difficulty in studying. Just before the start of the exam, I packed up the rest of my things and put them in a corner. I had even become emotional because I could not believe I survived a whole year in college. Just yesterday, I was almost giving up but now, I was standing strong waiting for what the future might bring. After I had made sure I would not forget anything, I sent a text to Lucas, to give me his address so I could take a taxi to his place but he had declined and said he'd pick me up. I was already planning on living in his house and I didn't want him to waste gas from his house to school and back to his house but when I saw he was stubborn, I gave in.Some hours later, I was done with my last paper and I ran out of class, excited. I even ignored the weird looks everyone in the hallway aimed at me, which I did not ca

[|]Lucas' POVAfter finishing up some business I had, I returned home and stopped in front of the door, thinking over the fact that I had someone living with me. Not just anyone but Jackie Garner, a girl I had not stopped thinking about for months since we finished high school. I shook the thoughts of her out of my mind and pushed the door open. As I stepped in, I saw she was sitting on the couch, watching TV. When I closed the door, her head snapped in my direction and she quickly switched off the TV like she had been caught doing something bad and rose to her feet, looking uncomfortable.I raised an eyebrow as I walked away from the door while taking off my jacket."Hi, I'm sorry for using the television. I was bored and wanted to kill time. I tried to call you to ask if it's fine with you and to—""Jackie," I called her name in an exhausted tone. She froze and looked at me. "It's fine. You can watch whatever you want anytime you want. Besides, this house is yours too. Make yourse

[|]Jackie's POVI had made sure to not be in the same place as Lucas after the whole incident. Whenever he came downstairs, I would leave the house and stroll through the hallway and come back a while later then stay in the bathroom. I should probably get used to such because I had a feeling that he would be doing what he did more often and I had to prepare my mind for it.A knock on the bathroom door made me jerk slightly before I stared at the wooden door."Jackie, are you in there? The food is here. Come downstairs, let's eat," came his muffled voice behind the door."I'll be right there with you," I replied and stared at my face in the mirror. I exhaled and flushed the toilet to cover up the fact that I was hiding from him then washed my hands and left the bathroom.I walked over to the wooden steps and saw him setting out the foods on the coffee table. I gulped when my eyes went to his strong back that was hugged by the grey shirt he was wearing. Even his strong legs were a deli

[|]Because I was in a new place and was used to waking up early, I was up at five in the morning and ready for the day. The house was still a bit dark even though I could see the sun setting a little bit in the dark blue sky. Most importantly, I was comfy in the big bed with thick blankets over my body. For the first time in a long time, I was extra comfortable.I sat up on the bed and stretched my arms. I rubbed my eyes and stared at the chandelier hanging from the living room ceiling. I immediately thought about Lucas and smiled."Lucas is such a nice guy," I said and smiled wider when an idea crossed my mind. "I need to do something to show my appreciation for letting me stay here. A simple thank you won't do. I know just what to do."I got out of bed and ran into the bathroom where I brushed my teeth and washed my face. When I was through, I went downstairs quietly and paused when I saw Lucas sleeping soundly under my blanket. I tiptoed over to him and held my breath when I saw

[|]By the time I was done, it was seven in the night and I was exhausted and hungry. I had barely rested since I started cleaning the whole house which made me wonder what type of people he lived with and how he lived through so much dirt. Clark was not home when I finished and he was not picking his calls. I had to wait for him since he had not left my pay for the day anywhere in the house.I was getting bothered because it was getting late and I did not know how safe or unsafe it was around here, especially when taxis barely drove around the neighborhood. As if on cue, the front door opened and I rose from the couch I had been sitting on. I heard footsteps and sighed in relief when I saw Clark."Oh, my God. I am so sorry that you're still here. Something important came up and I had to rush out," Clark said, walking up to me. "Are you done?""Yes."Clark ran his fingers through his hair and sighed."Alright. Here's your pay," he said, bringing out his wallet. He opened it and I sa

[|]Since I was not going to work on Tuesdays, I was at home, watching TV while Lucas sat on the other couch, using his laptop and headphone. He had multiple documents around him which made me wonder whether he still had school work or something else. We had barely said a word to each other last night after the elevator incident. We only told each other good morning today and that was it. Lucas seemed distant and cold to me which I accepted because I didn't want to get too close to him while I lived here. My instincts told me not to. My phone started to ring beside me and I paused what I was watching to pick the phone up. I rolled my eyes when I saw it was a call from Andrea, my former roommate. I hesitantly accepted the call and pressed my phone to my ear."Hello," I said drily."Hi! How are you, Jackie?""I'm good and you?""Same, same. So, where are you staying now?""Not too far from school. What about you?""I'm at the medical dorm. We still have some unfinished stuff."I was w

[|]When I got back, I felt more comfortable because I was alone so I raced to the kitchen and grabbed a bag of chips and Coke. I dropped my snacks in the living room and changed into an oversized cartoon print shirt and loose pants. I sat down on the couch facing the TV and picked up my snacks with a smile on my face.As I turned on the television, the front door opened, scaring me. Lucas walked in, taking off his jacket. I glanced at the door, expecting Andrea to walk in but when I saw no one, I looked at him as he approached me."What are you doing here?" I asked as he say down beside me on the couch."This is my house. I live here," he retorted and I rolled my eyes."I'm serious, Lucas. What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be on a date with Andrea?"Lucas grabbed the bag of chips from my hand and tore it open. He popped some of the chips into his mouth and pointed at the Coke. I hugged the bottle to my chest, giving him signs that he wasn't going to get it."Answer me.

[|]Lucas' POVI fucking hated what I was doing and how I was suddenly behaving because of this girl. It was surprising how Jackie was making me do things I barely even did for anyone. First, I let her stay in my house. Secondly, I felt worried for a girl that wasn't my sister. I remembered how I got home and saw she wasn't back yet. I had called her phone and she didn't answer. At first, I let it go but when worry became so deep, I decided to step outside the building to see if I could see her. When I had seen Jackie, I felt relieved but another emotion took over when I saw that guy standing so close to her especially when I saw what she was wearing. The emotions in my chest were a burning feeling and followed by an uneasiness. Most of all, I didn't like him. Something about him made me unsettled but I didn't voice it out because Jackie needed the job.Another thing that left me confused was how I was sitting with a gorgeous girl and thinking if Jackie had arrived home safely or if

[|]Jackie's POVI stepped into Clark's house and I saw a few untidy things laying around. I cleaned this house on Monday and it's a mess on Wednesday? I was almost about to go back before my taxi went too far but I signed up for this.With a deep sigh, I dropped my bag on the floor and propped my hands on my hips, taking in the scattered living room. I heard noises coming from upstairs and I became alert as Clark had said he was coming home from the gym when I arrived. I looked around for anything like a weapon which I did not find. Soon after, a tall guy appeared at the top of the stairs. He saw me and his eyes became wide. I stepped back when he rushed down the steps and stopped a few feet away."Who are you?"I analyzed him slowly. He was blonde with a lean muscular build with tattoos running down his arms and around his neck. His brown eyes were narrowed suspiciously at me and a single eyebrow raised."I'm the cleaner," I said and he relaxed his body."Oh... Clark didn't tell me

[|]My lunch with Jared had gone smoothly. Jared was a funny person as he shared his childhood stories with me. During our lunch, he had not done or said anything that hinted that he wanted me or liked me in that manner. I had been expecting he would try to woo me or do something after that night, especially seeing me in such a state. It was almost as if that night never happened and I was glad because I didn't want things to be awkward between the both of us.Since he was living in the apartment across ours, Jared and I walked home together, talking more about high school. As we reached the apartment building, Jared went his way and I stayed back when my phone rang. I took it out of my bag and saw it was a call from Andrea, making me clench my fist. I was not in the mood to speak to her about anything.I accepted the call and placed the phone against my ear. I stayed silent and waited for her to speak only to hear another voice."...where do you want to go?" It was Lucas' voice and I
