“Ok tell me your favourite things to do , like your hobbies ” Lucien asked as they settled down to watch a movie as Lucien requested after eating .
” Well I don’t really know what I would say are my favourite things since I can’t even remember my name ” Lucia answered making Lucien chuckle .
Lucia smiled at Lucien , a very small smile because she was still trying to get acquainted to his new state of friendliness .
” So what movie do you think we should watch ” he asked handing her the movie files to pick the one she deem fit .
Lucia looked at the files and picked out one which she felt would be interesting .
Handing it over to Lucien, a grin formed on his face .
If only she had checked the genre , she would have known that the movie was horror and ladies were scared of anything horror .
Lucien slotted the disc in and went into the kitchen to get a bowl of popcorn that had been prepared .
Turning off the light , he sat at the edge of the chair Lucia was sitting leaving her to seat at the other edge .
He knew in a matter of minutes she would clung to him .
Lucien watched as the movie came up with the screeching sounds making Lucia wonder why the name SINNER OR SAINT would be starting this way .
” Arrgh ” she screamed as she ran to where Lucien was.
What in the name of a vampire was there
” Please let’s change this movie ” she begged and Lucien just smiled patting her back .
” Relax , it’s not that scary the way you think it is ” he said and Lucia tried to be calm .
The film continued smoothly untill a scene came up and a knife was stabbed and used to bring out the intestines in him .
” Ahhh ” she said clinging to him .
Lucien felt the warmth on his body and hugged her closer to him self calming her down .
He stood up and turned on the light and Lucia heaved a sigh of relief as she turned off the TV .
” That was very scary ” Lucia said in fright still getting hold of herself .
” Are you that scared . It’s just animation and film trick ” he said and Lucia rolled her eyes .
” It felt so real , can’t you see the way he drew out that knife ” she said and Lucien rolled his eyes in a feminine way that made Lucia giggle .
” Good to see you laugh after those screams ” he said and Lucien smiled shyly .
” Why the sudden change” Lucia asked all of a sudden .
” Huh ” he answered trying to buy time to think of the question .
” Why did you become nice. Did something happen yesterday night when I was drunk ” Lucia asked staring at him .
” I just felt like being friends with you because Quinn has been on my neck to be your friend ” he said grinning.
” So he can’t be my friend if his sister was not involved ” Lucia thought sadly .
” Ok that’s nice , uhmm I gotta go to bed ” she said trying to hold back her tears .
” Why? Are you not enjoying my company . Did i say something wrong ” Lucien asked worriedly.
” No it’s nothing…* Before she could complete her statement, tears streamed down her face and she ran upstairs in tears.
” Huh what just happened ” Lucien asked wondering what did he say wrong a while ago.
” Lucia ” he called out climbing up the stairs.
…
” Hello mum . Yes I just got down from the plane ” Ken said using his other phone to book a cab that would take him to his brother’s house .
He had come down to California to complete his studies .
” Yea , my cab should be here in the next ten minutes ” he said and waited for his mother’s reply .
” Ok Gracie is asleep already . Such a sleepy head ” he said and his mom laughed at the other end of the phone .Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
” Ok kiss her for me ” He said and smiled and hung up .
“Wow welcoming myself to California ” He said and smiled to himself.
The cab came immediately and he got in giving him the address he was headed to .
..
” Lucia come on out . Did I say anything wrong ” Lucien asked for the umpteenth time but was greeted by the sobs and sneezes .
” Gawd women can be so dramatic ” He said still trying to pin point what in the hell made her cry .
” Lucia ” he called gently again when he heard the doorbell rang .
” Who is looking for him at this ungodly hour of the night” Lucien asked walking to the door .
Lucia who has been sobbing wiped her tears as she wondered who would be at the door.
” Certainly not Derrick ” she thought opening her door gently .
Lucien got to the door and opened it and was surprised to see his cousin Ken at the door.
” I thought you were coming next week ” he said not bothering to accept his greetings.
” Can I come in ” Ken said not bothering to answer his question also .
Lucien excused him self for him to get in.
” Thank you . I decided to surprise you by coming today ” he said and Lucien palmed his face.
” When will you ever grow up . Ok I haven’t arranged any room for you so I guess you have to crash in the couch ” Lucien said making him perk his brow
” There’s no way I can crash here . God I have some flight lags here . I am sleeping in your room ” he said and Lucien gave him a DON’T YOU DARE DO THAT EYES ”
Lucia chuckled as she watched the little fight going on without their knowledge but one thing was sure .
The house is gonna be more interesting now.
