Invitation
Continuation of last episode...
back in town..in her cottage..
Leah throws herself on her soft cushion bed, her legs giving out due to exhaustion of whole day and last night...
Leah windward
I missed you...my bed...
Her eye-lids getting heavier as she hugs the cushion tightly.. hoping for a peaceful nap..
But someone knocks on the door...
Lucas Vandenberg
Leah..are you home?
She let's out a small sign... exactly knowing the voice as she gets up the bed to open the door..
Leah windward
Coming Lucas..
She opens the door...to meet the same old, first love of her life...
Lucas Vandenberg
Where have you been whole day?
Leah windward
A-ah..I was...
she hesitates thinking for a reply... clearly she wasn't ready for such a question...
Leah windward
I went to market to buy ingredients for bakery!
Lucas doesn't seem to believe her answer..his suspicious eyes scanning her face to find potential faults..
Leah isn't the type to lie...she never lied to Lucas before...but this time...she is clearly aware that she can't tell him about Albus or the deal..not only because he won't like the idea about making a deal with a wizard..but also because he is possesive type..
She feels guilty about the lie...she can't look into his sharp pretty brown eyes..
Lucas Vandenberg
You look tired though..
Leah windward
Yeah it was tiring day!
Lucas Vandenberg
I wanted to take you to festival fair tonight...but you look horribly tired..
Lucas Vandenberg
Maybe I'll take M-
Leah windward
No! I am not tired anymore! I'll come with you!
Lucas Vandenberg
Are you sure you can ? it's going to be long night..
Leah windward
I totally can!
she flashes him with a confident, ensuring smile...even when it's fake one...but she can't deny him..she can't let him go out with another girl..even if that's his friend..
Lucas Vandenberg
Alright then...get ready.. I'll come to pick you up at 8 pm..
Leah windward
You got that!
Lucas Vandenberg
ohh...I completely forgot about this...
He seems to remember something important..as if it was his part of duty or work...
he takes out a small paper bag , placing them in Leah's hands...
Leah windward
What's this?
Lucas Vandenberg
They are herbs that cure cold and fever..
Lucas Vandenberg
I had been trying to give them to you for whole day...but you weren't available everytime I visited you here...
Lucas Vandenberg
I assumed you might be suffering from cold after being drenched in last night rainfall..
Leah feels touched and emotional over Lucas's kind gesture...she now feels even more guilty of having to lie to him...for a second she even considers telling him everything.. specially about Albus and the portions he asked her to smuggle..
Lucas seems to be proud of his gesture...he flashes her a teasing grin..
Lucas Vandenberg
you can always reward me with a kiss~
he steps forward, leaning his face towards her's..hoping to meet her rose pink lips..
Leah wanted to get over her toes.. throw her arms around his neck and kiss him like she always did...but curse the wizard of Alteria...his earlier words about the portion he makes crosses her mind again...and already being nauseous from morning...she feels like puking again..
she quickly shuts her mouth with her hand.. avoiding the kiss..
Lucas steps back , straightening himself again..his eyes abit surprised mixed with emotions as if she hurt him in heart...
Leah windward
I..I might be having cold...I don't want you to get it as well...
She let out a pretentious fake cough..as if to justify herself..
Lucas Vandenberg
... alright...that makes sense..
Lucas Vandenberg
I'll see you at 8 pm then..
he turns his back to her.. walking away...as Leah watches him go...she hates to hurt him...but she doesn't have much choice either...
Leah windward
Yeah...see you later..
