Our Summer
Chapter 42
About ten minutes later, Lucas pulled up to the curb in his mom’s car. I shamefully slid into the front seat.
“Did you tell anyone you were leaving?” he asked.
“No,” I mumbled. He pulled out his phone and sent a quick text. Then he pulled the car away from the curb.
“Are you okay?” he asked, glancing at me, concerned. I nodded.
“I’m fine,” I assured him.
“Not what you expected?” He took my hand and gave it a sympathetic squeeze.
“I was ditched and then hit on by a drunk guy who almost threw up on me,” I replied, bluntly. Lucas cringed.
“You weren’t even there that long,” he stated. I pulled off my shoes.
“I know. Thanks for coming to get me,” I sighed.
“Don’t worry about it,” he gave me a sweet smile. “Tell you what,” he pulled into the driveway. “I’ll go make some popcorn and you pick out a movie. My mom’s got some chick flicks you’d probably like,” he rolled his eyes. I smiled a little.
“Okay,” I said, liking the plan. “Lucas,” I put my hand on his arm as he started to get out of the car. He stopped and turned back towards me.
“Yeah?”
“You’re amazing,” I told him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He gave me a smile and then got out of the car.
I followed him inside, and then I went into the living room to pick the movie while he went to the kitchen to make some popcorn. After a few minutes, I decided on The Notebook, despite the fact that I’ve seen it a million times before.
Lucas teased me a little bit on my choice, but he put the DVD in and hit play. As the commercials played, we got comfortable on the couch together.
He had turned off the lights, and by the time the movie was half over, I was almost asleep. Before it was three quarters of the way over, I was out cold. The next thing I remembered was Lucas shaking me awake.
“Movie’s over,” he whispered.
“What did you think?” I mumbled, sitting up and rubbing my eyes. He looked at me with the edges of his lips turned up in a hint of a smile.
“It was good,” he admitted and kissed my forehead. “Let’s get you to bed,” he said. He stood and helped me up, and then he walked me to the door of my room.
