Amelia's POV

The next morning I wake up with a severe migraine. My head feels like it could explode any moment. I sit up on the bed, and grab my head.

"Ugh what the hell did I do last night?" I groan.

"You tell me. I was not the one drunk and singing out loud." Matt comes into my room with a glass in hand. "Here its honey tea. It'll help with the hangover."

"Thanks. I am never drinking again! Why do you drink it when it makes you want to curl up and die the next morning?" I ask Matt and gulp down the honey tea.

Matt chuckles. "Beats me. Why did you drink anyway? I thought you hated alcohol."

A frown takes over my face. Why did I even drink in the first place? All this drama with Lucas is making me do crazy things. I gasp when last night scene replay in my head. "Matt we went home together right? Please tell me it was a dream." I ask, nervousness building up inside me.

"No, Lucas brought you home. I couldn't find you anywhere after you went to talk to him. Did you know how worried I was?" Matt says, concern evident in his voice.

"Oh my god! What have I done?" I cover my face with my hands.

"What do you mean?" Matt asks.

"I kissed Lucas." I grimace. I kissed Lucas. I can't believe it. Well he kissed me first but I kissed him back. How am I gonna face him now?

Matt smiles at me. "Finally!"

"Why are you smiling? This is not supposed to happen!" I groan, as I send a glare towards Matt.

"Well, it was gonna happen sooner or later. He obviously likes you and I know you like him too. Don't you deny it." Matt points his finger at me.

"Matt! You're not helping." I whine.

"Look Ems I kind of like the guy okay. He seems okay I mean he does care for you. He looked really worried last night when I told him I couldn't find you. I think you should give him a chance." Matt says.

I sigh, frowning. "Fine."

"So you gonna go to work today?" He asks getting up from the bed.

"Yeah I should. I mean I have to face Lucas whether I like it or not." I get up from my bed.

"Oh you like him, trust me." Matt stifles his laugh.

"Shut up!" I groan, and hit him with the pillow.

Matt lets out a laugh. "Oh I almost forgot. I'm leaving tomorrow."

"What? I thought you were gonna stay for the whole week." My face immediately falls when I hear him say that. I've had so much fun with him around and it helps with the loneliness. I don't want him to go back.

"Classes had already started Ems. I need atleast 70 percent attendance if I want my degree."

I frown, taking a seat next to him. "I'll miss you Matt. I wish you could stay a bit longer."

"Don't get all sentimental on me now." Matt chuckles. "Go and get dressed. You're gonna be late for work. You don't want your boyfriend waiting now do you?"

I gasp, giving him my best stink eye. "He's not my boyfriend."

Matt just laughs at me seeing my reaction. "We'll see."

I ignore Matt ranting about how I much I like Lucas and head to shower instead. I look myself in the mirror, telling myself that last night was a mistake. I mean I don't hate Lucas but that doesn't mean I like him right? I could blame the alcohol for kissing him back. My heart beats faster as I think back to the kiss, his lips against mine. Maybe I should give him a chance. I splash my face with cold water, "Snap out of it Amelia! You can't be with him." I tell myself in the mirror.

I get out of the shower and quickly get dressed. I take my bag and head downstairs. I can hear Matt having a conversation with someone. I wonder who he's talking too. When I get downstairs, I'm met with the same hazel eyes that I have been thinking about a lot lately. They are both sitting on the couch, but when Lucas sees me he stands up.

"Lucas, what are you doing here?" I ask him, looking quite confused. And since when did Lucas and Matt become friends?

"I came to pick you up. For work." He says casually, with a smile on his face. Wait, did Lucas just smile?

"Uh but I thought I was supposed to come to your apartment." I furrow my brows.

"I couldn't wait for you so." He looks almost shy. What the hell is going on with him today?

"Okay." I look back and forth, not sure how I'm supposed to act. Lucas is in my apartment. I fell all jittery having him in my personal space.

"Oh and Ems, Lucas invited us for dinner tonight." Matt chimes in.

"He what?" I suddenly realise that Lucas is here too so I rephrase my words. "I mean why?" I turn to look at Lucas.

"Its my mom's orders. Not mine." He puts up his hands in defence.

Even if I can't bear to be around Lucas, I still like Margaret. But going there would mean I have to spend time with Lucas too. While I'm contemplating whether or not to go to dinner tonight, Matt waves his hands in front of my face.

"Ems you're doing that thing again."

I shake my head and recover, "Yeah fine. We'll come for dinner."

"I was actually thinking that we'd go together after work. I can send a driver to pick up Matthew." Lucas says.

"No I'll come with Matt." I quickly reply.

"Ems its fine. I can come alone. Lucas take her home after work." Matt says, amusement glinting in his eyes.

I gasp, looking at Matt. I know he's just trying to mess with me.

"Okay its settled then!" Lucas exclaims. "Let's go. We're gonna be late for work." He pulls me by my waist and pushes me out the door.

"Have fun at work you two! Do spare some time for work okay." I hear Matt shout from inside. He is so doing this to embarrass me. I hear Lucas chuckling beside me in the car.

"What's so funny?" I ask him.

"I like Matthew. He's a good kid." Lucas says, looking at me, his eyes lingering on mine for a while.

"I thought you hated him." I look away from him.

"Well that was before I knew he was just your friend." He says. "Now that I know, I don't think he's that bad."

"Well he's my friend, of course he's not bad." I tell him.

He stayed quiet for some time, he takes a deep breath and begins to say, "Amelia about last night,"

"I was drunk. I really don't remember anything." I don't let him finish. I'm too embarrassed to talk about it now.

"You don't remember anything?" Lucas sounds hurt, I think.

"Nope. Not a clue." I say and get out as soon as we reach the office. I don't wait for him, so I head up quickly. I enter the elevator, praying that Lucas won't catch up. But my prayers have been ignored, when Lucas enter inside the elevator.

"Amelia you see last night I was-" Lucas starts to say.

"Mr. Anderson we're in the office, I think we should keep private matters out of the way." I cut him off again.

Lucas looks hurt that I told him off, but I couldn't imagine having the talk with him, so I had to play the office card. He doesn't say anything else, when I turn to peek at him, he's frowning. His happy demeanor from this morning is all gone.

When we reach our floor, he walks out without a word and heads to his office. So now he's ignoring me?

I sigh. "Great I pissed him off again." I mutter under my breath.
