All Chapters of When Bad Boys Fall : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

[|]"Hi," Andrea said with a small wave. I frowned. "I asked a question, Andrea. What are you doing here?""Can we talk?" She asked in a soft voice.I opened my mouth to speak but I closed it when I felt Lucas's body press against my back. I saw Andrea's eyes widen at his sight and I did not miss the way her eyes swept over his bare body. I could not help but move to the side to cover up the rest of his body visible to her wandering eyes. She looked away and smiled."I told you not to come back to my house, Andrea. What the fuck are you doing here now?" Lucas demanded in a terse tone.Andrea bowed her head and played with her fingers; a nervous gesture. I crossed my arms when she looked up and sighed."Can we talk inside, please?" She looked over her shoulder when people passed by, talking and laughing amongst themselves."Fine-""Jackie, why would you say that?" Lucas asked over my shoulder."She'll just say what she has to say and that's it," I said to him and he groaned behind me,

[|]The sound of the front door sliding shut, made me tie the rope of the bathrobe I was wearing. I ran my fingers through my long hair before leaving the bathroom to the room where I saw Lucas standing with two paper bags. He was backing me so when he turned around, his eyes swept over my body before he smiled."I'm sorry for staying out for too long. I was trying to figure out my way around this area," he said and dropped one of the paper bags on the floor before raising the other. "What's that?""Your swim suit or suits. I didn't know which one would suit you so I bought five different ones. But knowing you, you'd look beautiful in all. You're Jackie after all," Lucas said and nibbled on his bottom lip.I rolled my eyes and made my way to him then took the bag from his fingers. I looked inside and saw different colored patterned and plain materials. I smiled and hugged the bag to my chest before looking up at him. His blue eyes were full of curiosity and I couldn't help but giggle

[|]I heard the chirping of birds and a cool breeze on my skin as I felt the weight of sleep leaving my body. I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was Lucas's face. He was still asleep with his lips parted and his shoulders rising up and down. I rolled onto my side and smiled. He looked peaceful as he slept, reminding me of a child. I raised my hand toward his face and shifted a lock of his hair off his forehead. He jerked a bit and turned his head away. I stifled my laughter as he backed me.I shook my head and lay on my back, staring at the ceiling. I curled my fingers and that was when I felt a heavy feeling on my finger which reminded me that Lucas had given me a promise ring. I felt my cheeks heat up at the memory of last night and how he had confessed to loving me. I raised my hand and stared at the diamond ring. It looked so real and I knew it was real because Lucas would do such a thing. He was so crazy to buy such an expensive ring that wasn't even for a marriage propo

[|]"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucas asked the moment I narrated everything to him."I don't know. This is just so weird for me right now," I said, rising from the bed and crossing the room. I stopped at the small balcony in the room and leaned against the door frame, taking in the mixture of lights coming from the buildings all around."You don't need to feel too obligated to do anything that you're not ready for. Besides, you don't need to just accept everything so soon. Give yourself time as you said," Lucas said.I heard him approach me then he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into his warm chest. I sighed and leaned into his body, feeling up the warmness emitting from his body. I shivered when I felt his soft lips press on my shoulder."I'm also happy that Martinez is dead. Does that make me a horrible person?" I asked and he tightened his hold around me."No, it doesn't. It only proves that he was a bad person that deserves no sympathy, even when he is layin

[|]The moment I noticed the sky turn dark blue with the sound of thunder rumbling in the sky, I made eye contact with my mom, whose eyes were wide."I wasn't expecting it to rain," I said and stood up from the park bench. "Do you have an umbrella with you?" My mom asked and I shook my head. "How are you going to get home?""I'll order a ride home, mom. Don't worry. You should probably start heading back to your hotel before it starts to rain," I said, and as if on cue, heavy rain drops fell onto us.I squealed at the cold drops wetting my clothes. I lifted my jacket and used it to cover my head then ran with my mother to a tree. We stood under it, alongside two other people. "This is such an unexpected rain," my mom said, wrapping her arms around her body.I shuddered when a wave of cold passed through my body, causing painful goosebumps to rise on my skin. A gust of wind blew and the cold inside of me doubled, making my limbs start to shake."You're shaking."I turned my head in t
