Lucio is real

Maria was so embarrassed that her face was flushed red,she wish to just disappear, she just made a fool of herself Infront of everyone, everyone heard her moaning and calling out Lucio's name to take her, oh God, Josh must have heard her too, seeing his unhappy face. Jessica smiled awkwardly, trying to lighten up the atmosphere, wow Maria, I didn't know you and Lucio has gone that far. he must be so hot to make you want him all the time. Maria looked at her friend confuse, wondering what she was talking about, Lucio doesn't exist, at least not really. Jessica winked at Maria , telling her to play along, but Maria was too embarrassed to do that,she smiled awkwardly. Not so innocent after all, Daniella tunted,Who would have thought Maria has a boyfriend,Daniella whispered to Josh , she is always acting innocent and all that, she is nothing but a pretentious b***h. Don't call her that, Josh yelled at Daniella surprising everyone including Maria, Josh frown, he was sure Maria had a thing for him, did she stop liking him because he didn't receprocate her feelings? who is this Lucio and how come he haven't heard the name before, When did Maria meet this guy, and where did he come from? Who is he ? Josh was having so many thoughts running through his mind. Daniella didn't like this at all, why is Josh acting this way, why does he look upset that Maria was calling a guy's name in her sleep?, did he want Maria to call his name instead?. Maria was silent for the rest of the journey , she went straight to her room immediately the bus stoped. Jessica went after her. before Maria could close the door, Jessica pushed back with her hands. Maria looked at her dejectedly, please, I want to be alone. okay, Jessica responded and sat on the bed, Maria looked at her and sighed, she never listens. They both sat in silent for a while then Jessica broke the silence, you know you don't have to hide from me right? Whatever it is you are going through, we can work it out together. There is nothing to work out , Maria said sadly. How am I going to face everyone after today?. Jessica looked at her friend suspiciously , are you worried about facing everyone or Josh?. Maria admitted sadly, yes, everyone but mostly Josh. Jessica gave Maria a comforting hug, girl, I understand what you mean, but there is no need for you to feel embarrassed about what happened in the bus, am sure everyone has had some errotic dream experience at some point in their lives before, it's nothing bad. Maria looked at her friend that was trying so hard to chear her up, have you had such experience before? Maria questioned her friend, yes , Jessica said sharply, Maria laughed , she could tell that was a lie,but she played along, oh really, so whom did you dream about? . Tristan. Jessica replied and they both laughed, so you had s*x dreams with your boyfriend, how is that the same, Maria teased , am having dreams of a guy i have no idea about. Jessica looked at her seriously, was it the same guy? Maria nodded, yes. Are you sure you haven't seen him before?. Maria thought for a while and answered honestly, am not really sure, I mean he feels so familiar and I feel at ease with him like the feeling of being home and the comfort of belonging, but when i open my eyes, it's all gone, I can't remember what he looks like and, she paused . and what? Jessica press, and it makes me sad, Maria admitted weakly. Jessica smiled at her, look, this might sound crazy but I think it's possible you are dreaming about your soulmate. You might not have met him but your souls are connected, that's why you keep seeing him. Maria narrowed at eyes at her friend, what soulmate, you don't believe in that do you? It's possible Jessica insisted , I heard destined lovers see each other in their dreams , Jessica, this is no romantic movie or novels, this is real life and such things doesn't exist. Maria tease her friend. ok , I will pretend like I believe you Maria said jokingly. You better believe it , Jessica said and they both laughed. I love you my crazy friend, Maria said as she hugged Jessica.

That night Maria was in her room, she just freshened up and was ready for sleep, Jessica had gone to see her boyfriend Tristan , so Maria was alone, she lay on the bed and thought about what Jessica said earlier, in as much as she would like to believe her, deep down she knows it wasn't true, while that was possible in other cases, her's was different, it wasn't just a dream and she know it, she can't remember when or how it started, but she could feel his presence when she is awake, his touch still lingers on her skin when she wakes up, and how her body response to him, she could see the evidence of their intimacy,it was all real , and she didn't mention to her friend about the fact that she can smell him as well, everything sounds so crazy that she was starting to think maybe she was losing her mind as well. Maria was about to fall asleep when she sense his presence again, his smell like the sea, it reminded her of the beach and the fall of rain,usually it wasn't this strong, but this time was different, she didn't want to sleep, whenever his scent engulfs her nostrils she fall asleep. Maria sat up straight, determined not to sleep, she called out. Lucio? Maria wasn't sure if she had really lost her mind, but she decided to try. Lucio, please if you are here show yourself. Still nothing happened. Lucio, please, Maria cried,b she was losing her mind, was she that lonely that she was making up things in her head? . Maria sighed in disappointment. the wind blew there was a creaking sound, the lights went off and the cottons started moving, she was scared, afraid of what she might discover. they said sometimes, something are better not to be discovered. but she didn't want to give up, she was losing her mind, so if there is even the slightest bit of possibility that he is real, she will try it no matter what to prove to herself that she is not insane.i know you are here, i can feel and smell you , Maria said confidently , why won't you show yourself to me, Maria cried, this is wrong, how can you manipulate my life and emotions like this. you claim me as yours and yet you won't let me see you, i don't want to be with a coward, if you can't show yourself to me, then just disappear from my life, i don't ever want you near me again. Maria wiped her tears with the back of her hand with determination she spoke, enough is enough,if you don't show yourself i will cut off our connection right now!. Maria didn't know what that was, she was just bluffing. Hmmm really! A deep husky voice sounded beside her. Maria froze in place. Did she hear that right?, he is here. Her inside jumped in joy, she wasn't crazy after all. how do you plan to do that? He asked amused, she turned to the side where his voice was coming from, his face was not visible, but she could see his tall figure in the dark, Maria took in a deep breath to calm her anxiousness ,she stepped closer to him, he admired her courage and her efforts to stay calm even though he can see how scared she was. Brave ain't you? He teased as he wrapped her waist with one hand, in one swift movement, he pulled her to him. Maria wasn't expecting that so she bumped into his hard chest, his chest was bare, he was shirtless, Maria shivered at his cold skin brushed against her warm skin. she jolted at the physical contact they made. it felt so good, this wasn't a dream, she was seeing him in the flesh, he wasn't a figment of her imagination, he was real, she looked up to see his gorgeous face, she was breathless, this man wasn't human, he has to be god because no human can look this good, his hair was all white and there were two black horns on his head. The horns should have made him look scary or strange, but rather, it made him look more outstanding and powerful. his face was mesmerizing, he carrased her face and lend in to kiss her, she closed her eyes in anticipation. not feeling his lips, she opened her eyes , staring into his mesmerizing deep blue eyes that made her feel like she could drown in them. he chuckled at her striken expression and smirked, what were you saying again? What? Maria was confuse, was she saying something ? she can't remember, you said you will cut off our connection if I don't show myself, he reminded her, how were you planning to do that? He asked curious. what? Asked in a daze, oh yeah she remembered, with a strong resolve, she held out her silver necklace that her mum gave to her Ten years ago, her mum told her not to take it off no matter what! , she wasn't sure how that was Connected to him, she was just acting on impulse. He squint at her, what? I would have destroyed this necklace if you didn't show up. she threatened. Lucio frown, do you know what that necklace is? He asked, mum said someone gave it to her, that it will keep me safe , but somehow I feel like this is connected to you, did you give this to my mum? .Lucio laughed, so you think something like that will stop me from coming close to you? He thought for a second that maybe she has recovered her past memories, that necklace is to keep her powers in check,when she regains her powers, he was afraid of what she become again . Not really she admitted weakly , now that she is looking at him clearly,she wondered what he was, it's obvious he isn't human, with those horns and strange appearance.what are you?
