"Lucas I-" I suck in a breath, "I think we should head down." I manage to finally say, as I grab the hem of his shirt.

"Stay the night with me." Lucas says against my neck as he places a line of kisses along my jaw and down my neck. The sensation is too strong that I can't take it, so I pull him away from me.

"I can't. Matt's leaving tomorrow so I have to drop him off at the airport." I say, my breathing still not slowing down.

"Okay. So I'll come with you to the airport then." He says.

"But you have to work." I pout, knowing how much importance Lucas gives to his work.

"I own the company. I think I can miss a day if I want to." Lucas smirks, wrapping his hands around my waist.

"Okay Mr. Anderson." I tease him. "Come on let's go down. I don't want Margaret or anyone to have any ideas." I grimace, furrowing my brows.

Lucas rolls his eyes at me. "We are not done, you hear me?" He teases.

I laugh at his childishness, I open the door and head out. Lucas following right after me. I see that Margaret, Matt and Quinn are already seated at the table. They must have been waiting for us. I tug at my shirt hoping they wouldn't notice any crease on it.

"Oh here they are! Finally! What took so long?" Margaret looks up at the both of us.

I can feel my face becoming hot already. I take a seat beside Matt, while Lucas sits beside Quinn right across from us.

"Yeah what took you guys so long huh?" Matt taps his chin, with a smirk on his face.

I glare at him, stepping on his foot. He yelps but doesn't say anything as he snickers. I ignore him and face Margaret instead.

"We were- No I mean I was we uhm" I start to ramble, unable to form a sentence

"We just reviewed some files from the office, that's all." Lucas saves me from further embarrassing myself. I look at him and mouth him a thank you. He nods his head lightly, with a small smile on his lips. I noticed Quinn smiling at our little interaction but she doesn't say anything.

"You shouldn't have done work at home." Margaret shakes her head lightly. "Okay then let's eat. I hope you enjoy the food."

"Of course! I have missed home cooked food for the past few days." I say.

"Well then help yourself. And you too Matt, there's lots of food to go around." Margaret says as she hands Matt the cornmeal pudding. I have a feeling Margaret has grown fond of Matt. Well that's Matt for you, he can make anyone fall in love with him.

"Yeah I hope you choke on it." Quinn gives her best fake smile to Matt. Or maybe except Quinn.

"Quinn!" Margaret scolds her. I shake my head, laughing at the two of them, they so hate each other.

"Matt dear, don't mind her. She's just being silly." Margaret says to Matt.

"Mom!" Quinn pouts, glaring at Matt. "He threw a cupcake at me!"

"Well I think you look better with cupcake on your face." Matt says. Quinn gasps with a scowl on her face while the rests of us laugh at them.

After dinner, Matt and I say our goodbyes as we head outside. Lucas is waiting for us in the car so I give Margaret one last hug. "Thank you so much for having us here."

"Oh stop thanking me dearie. You're practically family now." Margaret says with am amused expression. I try not to think too much about what she meant by that.

"And Matt, don't forget that recipe okay." Margaret looks at Matt. Of course they would have bond over food.

"I will mail it to you as soon as I get home." Matt says.

We finally get inside the car, I sit on the driver's seat, while Matt sits on the backseat. The ride was surprisingly quiet, but it was nice. When we reached my apartment, Matt gives a nod to Lucas and heads inside. I roll my eyes at how they're interacting.

I get outside the car and starts to walk away but Lucas pulls me by my waist, pulling me near his chest.
"Hey, not so fast." He says, gently tucking my hair behind my ear.

"I gotta get inside." I bite my lips in between my teeth.

"Don't you want a goodnight kiss? You know there might be monsters under your bed." He says with a smug expression.

I roll my eyes at him. "I'm not five!"

He chuckles, his eyes lighting up which is weird because he always has this cold demeanor that its almost unbelievable seeing him this cheerful.

"Thank you Lucas." I say, looking down.

"For what?" He furrows his brows, frowning at me.

"For everything. For being you." I say, wrapping my arms around his neck.

He doesn't say anything but kisses me instead. We finally break away, both breathing heavily.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Lucas says and gets inside the car. I watch him drive away, with a smile on my lips.

•••

"Matt wake up! I made you breakfast." I nudge Matt by his shoulder. Since Matt always woke me up with breakfast in bed, I wanted to do something nice for him in return.

Matt gets up from the couch, rubbing his eyes. "Did I hear you say you made breakfast? Is it the Apocalypse?"

I smack him with my hand. "Very funny. Now get up before it gets cold. I made you eggs, sunnyside up just the way you like it." I grin.

"Why does it look like a cow had just ran over it?" Matt says, once he sees the eggs.

I grimace, knowing it doesn't resemble a Sunnyside up egg of any sort. "But it tastes really good. I promise!"

Matt chuckles, shaking his head at me. "You and the kitchen don't go well together at all. But thanks Ems. This is really sweet of you."

"Its too early to be sentimental. Eat up. I'll get your bags ready." I say and head upstairs. I take his bag and carry it downstairs.

"Ems, Lucas's here!" I hear Matt calling.

I smile when I hear Lucas name. I take quicker steps, and head down. "Hey good morning." I give him a peck on his lips.

"Someone's happy to see me!" Lucas smirks. I roll my eyes at him. Guys and their ego.

"Guys I'm having breakfast here!" Matt groans, looking up at us.

We both laugh at that. "Have you had breakfast?" I ask Lucas.

"No. But I'm not hungry." Lucas puts his hands up.

"Sit down. I made eggs. You'll love them, they're really good, right Matt?" I push Lucas to sit down. Matt doesn't answer me, so I turn to look at him.

"Matt?" I question him again.

He puts his lips in a thin line, "Sorry Ems. But they're kinda bitter." I gasp at that, putting my hands on my chest.

I think they taste fine to me, so I hand a plate to Lucas. "Here, try it. Tell me what you think."

Lucas eats it, his expression I cannot fathom whether he likes it or not. "So?" I ask, growing impatient.

"I think its good." Lucas finally says after a long pause. Matt gives Lucas a look.

"See? He likes it! And you mister, you have a problem with your taste buds." I smack Matt's head.

Lucas laughs at the both of us. "Shall we go? We're gonna be late if we don't leave now." Lucas states.

We get into Lucas's car, reaching the airport shortly after. Matt takes out his bag from the trunk. Now its starting to really hit me, Matt's really leaving. Thinking about how much I'm going to feel lonely without him makes me tear up. Matt sees me and hugs me immediately.

"Hey no crying now." Matt says, resting his chin on my head.

"I'm gonna miss you so much." I say in between sobs. I wrap my hands around his back.

"I know. I'll miss you too. I'll call you all the time, so much that I'll annoy the hell out of you." Matt tries to lighten up my mood.

I chuckle, wiping my tears from my eyes. I break away from the hug and look at him. "You better call me everyday!" I pout.

Matt smiles, he gives me a kiss on my forehead, giving me one last hug. "Take care Ems."

"Yea you too." I hug him back.

Matt turns to Lucas, who's standing quietly beside us. "Take care of her for me, will you?"

"Sure. I won't let anything happen to her." Lucas puts his arms around my shoulders.

"Good. Okay so take care, both of you." Matt looks at Lucas and then looks at me again.

I simply wave my hands at him, I can't seem to utter another word. I'm afraid I'll cry again if I do. Lucas pulls me closer to his side.

"Hey I'm here now. You don't have to cry anymore." Lucas turns me to face him.

"I know. Its just-I'm gonna miss him that's all." I say, tears brimming in my eyes again.

Lucas hugs me, running his hands gently on my back. "Its okay."

I let out a deep sigh, and let go of him. "I think I'm fine now."

"Okay. Let's go. I have a surprise for you." Lucas says, excitement evident in his tone.

"What is it?" I ask him, curious.

"Its a surprise. I'm not supposed to tell you." He grins.

He puts his arms on my shoulder, and we turn to leave.

"Amelia?" I hear someone calling me. My heart stops when I see that its someone I've been avoiding all this time. The reason why I'm running away from home.
