(Lucas’ POV) When she left the room, I started to follow her, but my dad stopped me. “Dad? I need to go see if she’s alright.” I was confused. I couldn’t understand why he was stopping me. “Give her a minute, son. She’s embarrassed. Just give her a second to calm down a little.” I reluctantly nodded, but I didn’t move to go sit down either. I just stood there. Watching her bedroom door. I wanted her to come back out. Or at least invite me in. We didn’t even need to talk about what happened. I just wanted to know she was alright. But man, what a kiss. I mean, I could kick myself for forgetting my surroundings, but that kiss was everything. Not only because of how it felt, but also because she initiated it! I can’t begin to tell you how surprised I was by that. Never in a million yea
