Chapter 943: In Love



The week had dragged on endlessly for Amy. Lucas had told her he'd be unreachable, busy with tests for some days.

She had known he would be absent, but what she hadn't known was that the reality of his absence would hit her harder than she anticipated.

When the weekend finally arrived, Amy woke up feeling an unsettling emptiness. She had hoped to hear from him, but now it seemed like a distant possibility.

Saturday morning began as usual. But instead of going to the sports complex where she usually played tennis and whatever sports she fancied, she decided to go for a run instead, since she was feeling unmotivated to go for any games.

The crisp morning air usually invigorated her, but today, she ran mechanically, her mind drifting back to Lucas with every step. She wondered what he was up to if he was thinking about her, and when she might hear from him again.

After her run, she showered and dressed in her favorite old t-shirt and sweatpants, the comfort of the well-worn fabric offering some small solace.

She tried to distract herself with chores; she cleaned up the whole place, did her laundry, and went grocery shopping, but everything felt dull and lifeless.

Amy just found it hard to believe that she felt this way simply because Lucas was unavailable to talk to her.

It just didn't make sense that Lucas who she had been communicating with barely weeks ago was already such a vital part of her life that she couldn't function properly without hearing from him.

By the time she was done with everything, it was evening already and she realized that she had been so distracted by her thoughts and chores all day that she had forgotten to eat. Now she had no idea what to do about dinner.

Should she cook something simple or just order takeout? She mused as she stood in the kitchen, staring blankly at the fridge.

Suddenly, her phone rang, startling her out of her thoughts and she hurried to the living room to pick it up.

Her heart leaped with joy when she saw his name flashing on the screen. It was a WhatsApp call from Lucas.

"Lucas!" she exclaimed happily, answering the call.T/his chapter is updat/ed by nov(ê(l)biin.c/o/m

Lucas smiled when he heard the joy in her voice, "Hey, beautiful. What are you up to?" he asked, his voice warm and familiar.

"I've been cleaning up the house. I just finished and want to have dinner. What about you? Why are you calling now when you should be asleep?"

"I couldn't stop thinking about you. Do you want to watch a movie together?" he suggested.

Amy smiled, "As much as I've missed you, I know you must be exhausted. You should go to bed."

Lucas chuckled, "But I can't sleep because I'm thinking about you and missing you. Don't worry, I will get some sleep after now."

Amy's heart melted. "How have your tests been going?"

"Great. I'm done now. So, what are you doing right now?" Lucas asked curiously.

"I've been wondering what to have for dinner. I can't decide if I should cook something or order takeout," Amy said, feeling more enthusiastic now about dinner.

"How about we prepare something together and then watch a movie?" Lucas offered.

Amy glanced at the clock, "Isn't it too early for you to make breakfast? You're going to disturb Tyler's sleep."

"I don't think so," Lucas replied confidently.

Before Amy could respond, her doorbell rang and she frowned. "Hold on, Luca. Someone's at the door."

"Are you expecting someone?" Lucas asked simultaneously.

She hesitated, "No. Give me a minute."

"I'll wait," he said patiently.

With her phone in hand, Amy walked to the door to see who was there, and when she opened it, she screamed in surprise.

"You!" she exclaimed, shutting the door in his face when she saw Lucas standing there with a grin on his face, holding a bouquet in one hand and holding his phone to his ear with his other hand.

Amy's heart raced as she shut the door, and hurried into her bedroom to check her appearance in the mirror.

Lucas chuckled from the other side of the door as he waited for her. He had been looking forward to this moment from the time he decided to fly down to Ludus, and he was

disappointed by her reaction.

Inside the bedroom, Amy quickly brushed her hair, applied a bit of lip gloss on her dry lips, and then looked down at her attire.

Her old T-shirt and sweatpants were not suitable for this unexpected visit. Without wasting a moment she quickly changed into a blue floral playsuit with delicate white flowers, cinched at the waist to flatter her figure. She spritzed on her favorite perfume before hurrying back to the

"I know what you meant," he assured her.

She grinned, "I just wanted to be sure we were saying the same thing."

"Can I kiss you?" Lucas asked, his gaze dropping to her lips.

Amy's heart skipped a beat as Lucas's gaze dropped to her lips. She felt a flutter in her chest,

and her voice barely above a whisper, she replied, "Yes."

Lucas's lips brushed against hers, soft and gentle. The kiss deepened, and Amy felt herself melting into his embrace. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer.

As they broke apart for air, Lucas smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I always wanted to do that every time we had a video call," he whispered.

Amy's heart swelled with emotion. "Me too," she replied, her voice filled with conviction. Lucas's arm tightened around her waist, pulling her closer. "Let's order takeout and watch a movie together," he suggested, his voice low and husky.

Amy nodded, her mind racing with excitement. She couldn't believe Lucas was here, in her apartment, holding her close.

As they sat on the couch, scrolling through food options on Amy's phone, Lucas's hand brushed against hers. She felt a spark of electricity, and her heart skipped a beat.

"So, what do you feel like having?" Amy asked, trying to sound casual despite the butterflies

in her stomach.

Lucas grinned mischievously. "Surprise me," he replied, his eyes glinting with amusement.

Amy laughed, feeling carefree and happy. She ordered his favorite food, and they settled in

for a cozy night together, watching a movie and enjoying each other's company as they ate.

As the night wore on, Amy realized she didn't want this moment to end. She wanted to savor

every second with Lucas, to cherish the feeling of having him there with her, but as the credits rolled on the movie, Lucas glanced at his watch. "I should get going."

Amy's heart sank, but she knew he was right. "I'll walk you out," she said, trying to sound

-casual.

As they stood at the door, Lucas turned to her, his eyes serious. "I'm glad I surprised you," he

said, his voice low. "I wanted to see you smile."

Amy smiled. "I'm glad you did," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

Lucas leaned in, his lips brushing against hers once more. "I'll see you tomorrow,"

"he

promised.

Amy nodded, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation. And as she closed the door

behind him, she couldn't help but smile, her heart full of joy and love.

She was in love with Lucas. She had no doubt about it.
