When Megan first saw Lucas, she thought he was perfect if a perfect man existed. The way he talked the way he walked, his dimpled smile complimented his perfect white teeth. A beast in the looking but a soft boy inside, he felt like a dream.
“ Lucas this is Megan, I'm trusting you to get to know her,”
“ She's very pretty, hello Miss Megan can you give me the honour of getting to know you,” he's words felt like fluffy cushions around the bed on a rainy day.
“ Hello Lucas, you can drop the formalities, my friends call me Meg,” Megan responded shyly avoiding eye contact or else his dear like eyes would pull her right in.
“ Are you implying that we are friends now,” Lucas said smiling exposing his dimples and Megan couldn't help but get defensive.
“ No, I mean if that's ok, you can just call me Meg, or Megan just drop the formalities,”
After the introduction, Lucas often surprised Megan in school and everyone was jealous and shocked at how a girl like that ended up being noticed buy a guy like Lucas. Megan wasn't at all the best looking or prettiest girl in the world that could blow on away by just a single look, but she had one of those features that the more you looked at her the more she could captivate you.
“ You don't have to pick me up, I heard you are busy at work, you should rest,” Megan said shyly as she walked towards him.
“ Don't you want to see me?” Lucas said in a sad note which made Megan giggle at how cute he looked.
“ I'm just worried about you, I didn't mean I didn't want to see you,”
“ So it means you want to see me, right? Anyway whenever I'm tired, seeing you takes the tiredness, please don't take that away from me,” it's words like that, that were his greatest charms, I was Megan supposed to fight with such charms, it's not like another prince charming will come her way in the future and claim that among every pretty face, he wanted her.
If romantic was a person it would have been Lucas, he either had a degree in flirting or he was a natural born flirt, during dates the way he made her feel, Cinderella got nothing on her, he knew what to do and when, noticed minor details, like how she loved her sauce or how she liked her meat, she didn't need to tell him such minor things.
“ Why are you so nice to me? Is it because we are supposed to get married,” Megan asked during one of their dates.
“ Is that what you think of me? I'm doing all of this just because I'm told to, I thought we were making a connection, guess I didn't read between the lines, how about you, are you just doing this because you were told to, that hurts,” Megan looked at him mood change from shocked to angry to disappointed to sad.
“ No that's not what I meant I'm sorry,” then and there Megan realized she was in love and there was no way back. How many cases we lookre their for your first love reciprocating your love. She could be known as lucky.
After a few months of dating and getting to understand each other even sharing their first kiss it was finally time, though Megan wasn't done with school Lucas proposed in the most mind-blowing way, who would forget such a moment.
The rain was heavily pouring outside with no chance of stopping and Megan was done with her classes when she heard commotion from the others and curiously followed only to see Lucas standing in the rain with no umbrella, taken back Megan wondered what was wrong and run to him with an umbrella but he threw it to the ground.
“ Lucas is everything ok, your scaring me, please talk to me, what's wrong?” Megan said shakingly seeing the expression on Lucas face.
“ I want the grey sky above us, the rain pouring down on us, the little insects that only come out when it rains and everyone present her to witness the biggest moment of my life, the moment I saw you it wasn't really clear how much i would love you, want you, need you. I want to kiss those lips that curl up when I tease you, I want to look at those shy eyes that look away when I look at them I want to hold you, feel your skin against mine, wake up next to you, have you carry our babies, spoil you, love you, depend on you. Megan will take this man out of his misery and accept his flaws and imperfections and agree to marry him,” Lucas said going down on his knee and by now everyone has understood what was going on and we're shouting on top of their lungs against the heavy sounds of thunder to say yes.
“ Yes Lucas Anderson, yes I'll marry you,” Megan replied tears falling down her cheeks and everyone shouting congratulations as Lucas put the ring on her finger and kissing it before kissing her lips suddenly the rain got nothing on them. Who knew that this person was a devil in disguise.

“ What are you thinking did I open painful wounds, so what's your take what is your final bet my dear daughter,” Miss Veronica said bringing back Megan to the present.
“ Your right this man has so many faces he can give a chameleon competition. I'll go with, play the I've changed card, how about you,”
“ Are you sure about that, you clearly think you know so much about him, but as much as you have changed through out the years so as he, I think he will play dead and play it cool till,”
“ Him? Play dead, mother aren't you playing a loosing game yourself,” Megan responded shocked at her mother's remarks.
“ He's not that carefree man you one's knew and your thoughts are so outdated that I'm starting to believe you aren't ready to face him,” Miss Veronica's voice suddenly hit Megan. She thought she was at an advantage because she knew the type of person Lucas was but the fact that this man got so many personalities she couldn't get corky.
“ I guess the game is more interesting now, Lucas show me what you got, pull your card carefully or I'll catch up to you like a hungry tigress on a hunt,” Megan said out loud as Miss Veronica stared at her confidence. What would Lucas choose to do? That was the question.
