CHAPTER 2 The Reason of Rejection

Anna'pov

I heard Lucas chuckled even though I still had my eyes closed and almost immediately, he burst into laughter while I had my eyes opened in embarrassment on seeing that he only wanted to have my seatbelt fastened.

He looked at me again and burst into laughter while I looked away in embarrassment. How could I have thought that he wanted to kiss me? I thought and I wanted nothing more than for the ground to open up and swallow me as he kept on chuckling.

"What gave you the impression that i wanted to kiss you?" He asked and laughed again while I stared out. If not because of the rain, I would have probably left because I did not wish to make a fool of myself the second time which was obviously happening again.

"Let me ask you one thing. Have you been kiss starved that you badly want it from me?" He asked and chuckled again.

Honestly, I found that offensive and at the same time angry that he was probably telling the truth.

Ever since Lucas left, I didn't want to be with any other man asides him and it hurt to know that I still desired him up till that moment where I badly wished he would lock his lips with mine.

Silly me! I thought and hurriedly had my eyes closed not wanting to see him he kept laughing and somehow, it made me realize that the drive to my house was probably too far or was it because of the rain?

"You know, you have a wild desire. When last have you gotten laid?" He asked me but I kept mute, pretending to be asleep.

However, he must have probably realized that I had fallen asleep and said nothing still as he had his eyes focused on the road while I exhaled out slightly, thinking of the past.

Even though I was mocked by him earlier, I could not help but wonder if he was doing okay for himself and had probably gotten himself a woman.

Somehow, I felt hurt till this moment that he still never desired me because I desired him and now, I still do even if I pretend to hate him so much.

"We're here" I heard him say while I had my eyes opened only to see that it was already a bit dark. For how long had I been asleep? I thought as I looked ahead of me to see that he stopped in front of an exclusive restaurant.

"What are we doing here?" I thought in confusion. All I wanted at this moment was to be clad all alone in my bed while I ruminate over everything that had happened earlier.

Why then did be bring me here? I thought and unfastened my seatbelt.

"Aren't you hungry?" He asked softly and stepped out of the car while my heart raced again. For a while, I was being delusional into thinking that he cared about me.

Exhaling out again, I stepped out of the car and walked behind him while he walked towards a table for two as we sat across each other while I looked around.

This would be the first time I would be stepping in an exclusive restaurant which had just few people around.

Then, I realized something. Lucas had probably reserved this restaurant earlier.

With a snap of his fingers, the chefs brought in different delicacies of food while Lucas cross his arms and smiled.

I stared at the foods and realized that they were all my favourite dishes. My stomach made a slightly weird noise but I wasn't ready to eat yet. How on earth was he able to recollect all of my favourite dishes including the ones I no longer liked?

I thought, my eyes not taking its sight off what was in front of it.

"You can dig in. We are here because of you after all" He said as soon as his dishes were served.

"Thank you" I muttered and digged into the food still wondering why exactly he brought me here even though his clear intentions back then and now showed that he didn't consider me as someone he could afford to be with.

"If you're not satisfied, you can let me know" He muttered..

I wasn't a glutton. I wanted to say.

It didn't take so long before we were done but I could not deny the fact that was the best meal I had ever had even though it was my favourite. Most of my favorites were home made and it was my first time of it being cooked by professionals.

"Do you like it? We should come here often" He said and smiled while I looked at him for a while, wanting to ask him so many questions.

"Can we leave now?" I said curtly as I stared at his never frowning face.

"Anna" He called out while I stared at him but for some reasons, he said nothing as he laughed shortly and stood up while I followed suit.

The drive home to my house from the restaurant didn't take so long at all and as soon as he had parked the car, he stared at me for a while.

"How have you been?" Lucas asked me.

"I don't think you should know that" I said instead.

"You're still mad at me, huh?" He asked softly and exhaled out.

"That's a long time ago"

"You look like you want to ask me a lot of questions."

How did he know that? Was it so obvious? I thought and scoffed.

"I have nothing to say."

"Your eyes says otherwise. I won't bite you. Here's me giving you an opportunity to clear your mind"

He said softly with a voice that made me fall in love with him few years ago and sadly, I was still.

"Why did you do it?" I found myself asking while he squinted his eyes.

"Do what?"

"Why did you reject me and even left without saying a proper goodbye?"
