Trouble Next Door

chapter eight

I had the strangest dream.

I was in my room with Kathy, jumping on the bed, having a pillow fight. Then she moved to my window, looking through it at Lucas' room. She turned back to me, grinning mischievously.

"Bet you can't get in there"

"Can too" i said, walking to stand near her.

"Prove it!"

"Nope". Even in my dream i wasn't willing to go there.

"Why? You chicken?"

"Course not".

I pushed her aside and climbed out of the window. I made my way to Lucas' yard and quickly climbed through the window into his room. Suddenly the room looked like mine. I turned to my bed with the pink bed spread. I was a 'girly girl'. Yes. I flung myself on it, sighing contentedly. It felt so right to be there.

Suddenly the door creaked open. I sprang up. Lucas came in, surprise on his face as he saw me.

"What the hell are you doing in my room?" He demanded.

Wait! What the hell was i doing here. I turned around,alarmed. The scene had changed to Lucas' room.

"Sorry leaving".

I headed for the door, trying to side step him, but he held me back by the waist. I struggled with him and he flung me on the bed. He came over me, his breath fanning my face.

"You've been asking for this since i got here Maury". He said leaning down, his lips a few inches from mine. I pushed at his chest but he wouldn't budge. What the hell just happened? I was having seriously weird feelings as i felt the tingles all over my body and knew i had to get away from him. And fast!

"Lucas don't! I said as his lips came closer, slightly brushing mine. The feelings intensified and i definitely wasn't prepared for it. "Don't Lucas!"

I opened my eyes immediately. What the... It was just a dream. Thankfully. But i couldn't help the strange feeling of disappointment. I looked around and was met with the shock of my life. Lucas was sitting on the bed, reclining on the head board, his arms supporting his head. He was grinning from ear to ear. He looked absolutely gorgeous. His dark hair all ruffled, a sleepy flirty look in his green eyes which twinkled mischievously. Why did he look so good? Even just out of bed. It was so unfair! I was pretty sure i looked like a total wreck. My hair was definitely haywire while Lucas was looking as sexy as hell. Just then realization dawned on me and i sprang up. What the hell was i doing in Lucas' bedroom? God this can't be happening!

"So i was right all along" Lucas drawled out sexily. Still grinning. "I feature in your dreams".

What the... Had i called his name out loud. "What the hell are you talking about". I said, blushing to the root of my hair and dreading the possibility.

"Common Love don't deny it now. I totally heard you..... Lucas..... don't.... Lucas". He tried his best to mimic me.

I stared wide eyed at him. I had definitely said that out loud. Curse this day! I had a wet dream and it had to be i front of Lucas.. Freaking Donnovan. This was the worst! Kill me now. I knew he would never let me live it down. Just then a sudden thought occurred to me and i looked down at my body, touching myself all over. Lucas remained in his position an amused smirk on his face.

"Lucas...what.... did we.. did you?"

"Common Love if we did you'd definitely know. I didn't touch you. Except in your dreams of course". He winked at me.

Urgh! Yes! It was official. I was never going to live that down. Just then i decided to look around at anywhere but him. My gaze trailed downwards to where Pip and Kathy were sleeping close to the door.

OK if that wasn't awkward what was? Pip. Was lying on his back, his arm twisted at an awkward angle. And Kathy smack on top of him. Yeah Kathy definitely had it worse than me. Except she wasn't the one who had called out Lucas' name in her sleep. That thought immediately put a damper on my already sour mood. OK i had it worse.

"Uh aren't we gonna wake them up?" I said to Lucas, who was still staring at me. He was definitely enjoying my discomfort.

"Nah Love. What's the fun in that? Might i add that you look absolutely sexy in bed".

What the hell? OK time to wake up Kathy and Pip. It was definitely better with them awake. No way was i having this conversation with Lucas. I did not have to wake them up though. There was stirring and Pip shifted. Oh this was going to be a scene!

"Film this!" I said excitedly to Lucas.

He thought for a while then caught my excitement. "Definitely!"

He brought out his cell phone and started the video. It was wrong to do that to Kathy but i could not resist. Not after i remembered how she had tried to jump ship and leave me behind the previous night. Served her right!

Pip and Kathy opened their eyes almost at the same time, staring into each other's face. There was a loud shriek as they flew apart. I and Lucas burst out laughing.

"Get off me you oaf!" Kathy yelled hitting Pip on the chest.

"What the... You were totally on me!"

It took a while for them to recover and Lucas had stopped the video unknown to them that they had been on video. I planned on taking that video later. Now time for questions. I was dreading this moment.

"I knew you girls wanted us" Pip said. "But common, drugging us? That was a little desperate. All you had to do was ask".

"In your dreams" Kathy snorted.

Pip turned to Lucas. "Man....they totally molested us. I feel abused".

What the! Pip was definitely trying to get us riled up.

"Yeah right, abused?" Kathy snorted. "I'm the one who had to be near your filthy a*s".

"Common skinny. You liked it. I had no idea you liked the top position. But next time you'll take the bottom".

What the... I had definitely been wrong thinking that Pip was anything but a bad boy player. He was every inch as bad as Lucas.

Kathy flushed deeply. "You pig. I couldn't a***e you even if i wanted to". Then her gaze trailed downward on his body as a mischievous look crossed her face. It settled on his crotch. "That stuff definitely wouldn't work".

Lucas wheezed out laughter and i smiled, amused. Of course Pip didn't find this insulting. If anything he was amused. A smirk on his face.

"Why skinny? Checking me out uh? They could both excuse us so we'd go for a test run. I'll show you how good it works. That is if you can keep up. But don't worry. I'll go easy on you".

Lucas couldn't contain his laughter as he hit his thigh. The look on Kathy's face was epic. Yeah, it definitely was no use bandying words with these boys. They would definitely win. Anger crossed Kathy's face and she flew to hit him. He immediately side stepped her and she lost her footing but he caught her immediately by the waist.

"Itching to touch me already skinny?"

Kathy angrily pulled out of his hold. "Pig!" she seethed.

"But all yours".

"Urgh!" Kathy turned to me. "Let's get out of here".

"Definitely".

We both headed for the door but Pip blocked our path and Lucas pulled me back on the bed. I landed on his laps, the contact shocking me. I immediately pulled away from him. I couldn't be that close to him. Not after that weird dream.

"You both aren't going anywhere" Lucas said". What the hell?

"Yeah" Pip said. "Not until you tell us why you drugged us".

Yeah right. Like we were going to tell them our initial plan of stripping them. Never happening. This was going to be a tough day.

"Common just let us go". I pleaded.

"No can do" Lucas said smiling devilishly at me. "Spill".

Just then i heard the sound if a car pulling into the driveway.

"s**t! My dad!" Lucas said alarmed.

Oh lord thank you! Mr Donnovan was back.

"The party!" Pip said. "The house is a mess".

"I'm guessing you both have no choice but to let us out now". Kathy said.

"Yeah" i chipped in. "Wouldn't want your dad to find us here now would you?"

"The door's locked girls". Pip said. "Lucas has the key remember?"

"Lucas!" Mr Donnovan called from downstairs. "What the hell happened here? You wouldn't want that hot Indian neighbour of ours to complain now would you!"

What the hell? Did he just call aunt Mary hot?

"Quick lets get out through the window". Kathy said. She made to go to the window.

"No skinny". Pip said holding her back.

"You girls are going no where". Lucas said.

What the hell is wrong with these blockheads. why won't they let us go?

"Your dad" i said.

"Nah... he wouldn't mind". What the...

"Lucas Donnovan" i threatened. "I swear if you don't let us out this instant i'll...."

"What?" He said with a sneer. "You'll file a complaint and tell them how you drugged us?"

Alright! It was no use making threats.

"Your dad sure would be surprised to see them here Lucas". Pip said "You never let girls in your room".

That was a revelation.

"Lucas!" Mr Donnovan called again. "Where the hell are you son? Lets hit the casino!"

It was official. Mr Donnovan was the worst father ever. But Lucas obviously adored him.

"Sure Reese!" He called excitedly, a wide grin on his face. "Be right there!"

Wait. Did he just call his dad by his name? The Donnovans were definitely something else.

"Best dad ever!" Pip whooped. "I'm definitely coming along!" Then he turned suddenly to us. "What do we do with them?" He said to Lucas.

"We'll deal with them later". Lucas turned to us. "My dad just saved your asses. Now scram out!"

We both hurried to the window.

"Don't forget you owe me love!" Lucas called to me. "And i always collect on my debt".
