It's been years when I last step foot in my home country. I had so many reasons why I didn't want to go there. I was the only one in the family that wasn't fond on having summer vocations there.

Once a year my family would have a vocation. After the age of 10 years old, I started making reasons to not go with them. And after seven years, my parents got tired of all my excuses and unfortunately forced me to come this summer.

So, here I am grumbling things about my parents not giving me freewill and lying down in my room that I'd be in for the whole summer.

Around afternoon, before my parents left they suggested me to go for a swim because the beach was just at the back. My brother left around 7am to go hangout with his friends.

Unlike my brother, I wasn't popular here. Even when we were kids. He was the kid in the family with friends while I was the one with no friends. Not just that, I was also bullied by his so called 'best friends' and my brother just watches in entertainment.

Anyways, I wasn't the same from before. I used to have fats everywhere and I had pimples that literally covered my whole face. Yes I had all of that when I was 10years old. Not to mention I had braces. You could say girls that had braces are really pretty but for me, it didn't look cute.

But around 14 years old. My whole appearance changed. I no longer had fats. De facto, I had the same body as Kylie Jenner. I had my braces off the year before and there were no single trace of pimples anymore on my face that year as well.

Thus, you could also say that there were plenty of pretty boys lining up to get a chance with me on a date which I turned down every guy.

It's starting to get dark outside so I decided to go back inside my house. As I was about to open my house, a guy opened it. He was like a living word of a goddess.

Every thing about him was hot. From his chiseled cheeks to his toned abs. After I checked him out, he wasn't finish checking me out yet. I was just wearing a black bikini so I was actually really exposed.

"Like what you see? Because I'm liking what I see." He smirked at me. Hot damn, his voice. I could have been swooned that very moment if a frowned didn't found it's way to my face the moment his eyes landed on mine. Those protruding blue eyes. Out of all the billions of pretty boys living here, he stood among all of them. Lucas Jackson. My number one bully here. He was a saddist. He wasn't happy if I wasn't sad. I didn't know what I did to make him treat me this way.

"Lucas Jackson" I said in a statement.

"Yes, beautiful. And what would be your name." He leaned down. He was so close I could smell his minty breath. I could feel my heart beating so fast. It's been years when I last felt this. It feels nice.

"Veronica Stella" I didn't get the chance to answer because my brother beats me to it. And the face he had when he heard my name, was priceless.

After what happened, he went all silent and was often staring out in the space. And sometimes I would catch him staring at me.

I was at the room checking my instagram when my tummy started making weird sounds. So, I decided to go downstaits. I sighed in relieved when they weren't in the living room. I was happy because I thought he left but unfortunately they were at the kitchen which was where my destination was.

They were talking about something and were so engrossed that I thought it's impossible for them to notice me. Since snacks are kept in the down part of the cabinet, I had to bend down. I was debating which snacks to eat and so far cottage fries was winning its way to my heart.

"Dude, are you even listening to me?" I heard my brother irritatedly asked. I bet his spacing out again.

"Dude, stop checking out my sister's butt. " he whined. That got my attention therefore, I turned around facing them so fast, my neck would have been injured.

It was so quick that I was able to catch my brother punching Lucas so hard in the arm. That also made Lucas took his eyes off of me and glared at my brother. My brother just rolled his eyes and continued telling his story.

He was checking me out? If someone told me a few years back that my number one bully was attracted to me. I would have laughed. But I guess now that it happened, I'm just stunned and flattered.

Usually when guys checks me out, I would get mad because I felt like I'm one of those prostitudes. But when he checked me out, I felt like I was the most beautiful girl living on earth. I guess it's how he checks me out. It wasn't the same like the rest of the guys.

Guys checks me out with full of lust evidence in their eyes but Lucas checks me out with full awe display in his eyes.

And with that thought in my mind, my heart was beating fast again.

Later that night, there was a knock on my door. The door opened revealing Lucas.

Instead of talking in my room, we went and sat on the roof which was facing the beach.

We stayed up all night talking. About what happened in our past and the future. He told me the reason why he treated me like poop in the past.

When I was young, I always liked Lucas. And I guess my brother noticed it and started teasing me with him. One day, he teased me infront of Lucas. I was so embarrased that words I regretted went out of my mouth before I could stop it. I told them both I would never like Lucas even if he was the last boy on earth. Lucas was hurt really bad because he liked me too and that made him treat me that way.

He regretted it after all these years, and didn't get to apologize see8ng that I didn't comeback after that year until now. So he took the chance to apologize now.

He told me that he never liked any other girl other than me and that he still likes me. I didn't believe him but he took my hand and brought it towards his left part of the chest so I could feel his heart beating so fast. Little did he know, it had the same tempo as my heart.

He said he always wanted us to be together that it was even his dream when he was young. And so, he wanted to court me and would willingly wait for me to answer him as long as I'm ready to be in a relationship with him.

After that night, our friendship was stronger as each day passed. And after 5 years of solid friendship we were finally together. And then after 10 years of being loyal to one another other, he proposed and we got married in the same year.
