Lose it All - Chapter Four

Lucy untangled herself from Lucas and skipped over to the counter, grabbing herself a mug. I awkwardly leaned against the island, I could feel Julian's eyes on me. I wasn't sure if he expected an explanation from me. I sure knew though that if he asked, I would definitely tell him the truth. I didn't know why, but my heart called "Julian". I wish it had been him I was kissing instead of Lucas. I honestly had no feelings for Lucas whatsoever, the rush had just gotten to me. The tension became stronger, as Lucas cleared his throat and said he had to get going - which was a total lie. Of course, Jeffrey agreed and mumbled something along the lines of, "That boy only wants one thing!" I chuckled under my breath.

Jeffrey looked at me surprised that I had heard what he said. I avoided his eyes and looked away. Julian had now walked fully into the kitchen and was drinking a cup of hot chocolate. God, he was so cute! Julian stared observably into his cup, his short, thick eyelashes glistened. I loved the way his eyebrows furrowed down into two vertical L's. Oh gosh, I should really hear myself, I sounded like some love-struck buffoon. Lucy purposely walked past me, making a show of how I was staring at Julian. "So, Aria... You and Lucas?" Asked Lucy, trying hard to make it seem as if the thought had just came to her mind. Julian looked up at me, I desperately tried not to look at him. Jeffrey cleared his throat, which meant two years ago that I better hurry up and answer the question before he takes desert away from me during dinner. "Uhh," I started. "We're just friends."

"But you were kissing each other when we came in?" Pondered on Jeffrey.
The word, 'kissing' left a dreadful mark in my head, why couldn't we just forget that, that ever happened!

"Yeah, that was just a one time thing." I tried hoping the conversation could end.
"You're sure?" Asked Julian, sounding a little too hopeful.

Lucy and Jeffrey exchanged glances at each other at smiled slickly.
Julian chimed in, "You know because he does not seem like the type to know how to treat a girl."

I giggled, "Lucas has been my friend since forever, and we're nothing more."
Julian looked away, I think I saw blush. Oh yes, boy you definitely have a chance! Lucy and Jeffrey excused themselves, supposedly having to head to the hotel and gather their luggage. Julian waited until the door to the house closed to put his hand on my cheek. My skin felt tingles as soon as his fingers came in contact with my cheek. I smiled cheekily, I couldn't contain myself, if Julian doesn't kiss me now I think I will do the unthinkable and prance on to him.

"They're gone for an hour, you know," whispered Julian. Our faces were inches apart, after my getting impatient he finally closed the distance between us and let me tell you this, it was way better than kissing Lucas.

Okay, so you probably want to kill me right now. I am so sorry, I've had so much on my plate lately. So here's my explanation (rambling basically), some of you may not know, but I am in only 8th grade, going obviously into high school next year. I am currently in the midst of writing an essay for my high school applications. And let me tell you this, I go to a private, catholic school where good is not enough. So this is my side project, which means that Lose it All chapters will come a little late than you would wish. I'm going to continue rambling because I want to you, and if your noisy my top choices are 1) Cristo Rey NY High School 2) St. Jean Baptiste High School 3) St. Saviour High School and 4) Notre Dame High School. And honestly, these are all private, or private catholic because I don't mean to be bias, but in a private school you do achieve a better education, anyway good day and I greatly appreciate the comments.
