It had been a week since that incident, and Lucky could not think of anything else. Every time he tried to call Nikolas, or Elizabeth, they hung up on him so he just gave up. There was no way in cold hell he would beg the Cassadines to listen to him. But man, why was it still bugging him so much? They didn't want to let him apologize, so the hell with them, but he was not able to forget about it.
Elizabeth was sitting at the kitchen table, looking at the blank sheet in front of her. She was supposed to write an essay about the prize she won at the National Contest, but she could not concentrate long enough to write it. Her mind was constantly going back to that night, in the barn, where she almost lost her head, and everything else. Lucky didn't show up at Maurier, so Elizabeth thought he was just ashamed of what he told Nikolas about her. Even though Lucky said to Nikolas "Even If", that still implied she would've slept with him, and she could not get it out of her head that he was right. What was bugging her the most was that she still would.
"-I can't do this! She said, pushing the paper away."
She wrote a note and left it on the table, before getting out. She went to Kelly's and was happy to see a friendly face there, Nikolas' best friend, Emily.
"-Hey Em, she said, mind if I sit down for a minute?
-Not at all, hi Liz, how have you been??
-I'm good, answered Elizabeth, sitting down. You? What are you doing here by
yourself?
-Well, I'm not really by myself, I'm juust early for my lunch date. One of my
oldest and dearest friend is having a tough time right now, and he asked me to
meet him here.
-Oh an he? Do I know him?
-I believe you do"
Elizabeth quickly turned around at the sound of that voice. She would know it anywhere. Her blood rushed through her face when she saw his smile.
"-Hi Elizabeth
-Hi Lucky. Well, I'll let you two talkk.
-Wait Liz, you don't have to go, does sshe Lucky? Asked Emily
-No, of course not, he answered. Any ffriend of Emily is a friend of mine.
-Even Nikolas? Asked Emily with a smille
-Don't push it! Answered Lucky, laughiing"
Emily had been trying to get Nikolas and Lucky to hang out together with her, without succeeding. Now, maybe, if Liz and Lucky were friends, they could hang out together, the four of them.
"-Hey Lucky, Emily asked, are we still on for tonight?
-Sure thing Em, I'll pick you up as plaanned.
-Where are you going? Asked Elizabeth,, trying to ignore this jealousy feeling
at the bottom of her stomach.
-Lucky's taking me to the Spring dance,, the one I tried to get your brother to
invite me time and time again.
-Yeah, I'm kind of her consolation prizze, said Lucky with a smile
-You are not! Answered Emily, hitting him on the arm.
-That is what I miss the most with haviing a private tutor, said Elizabeth, I'm
missing all of the good stuff.
-Well, why don't you come with us? Askked Emily
-No, I don't want to intrude.
-Aw come on, it'll be fun
-Well, if you insist, Elizabeth smiled all the way to her ears."
Lucky laid back on the chair, and passed a nervous hand in his hair. Seeing Elizabeth all dressed up and dancing with half the school's male community was not his idea of a good time. Elizabeth quickly left and said she had to go home and find something to wear, and that she would be at Emily's house by 5 to play make up. Lucky joked, saying he was finally living up to his name, walking in the school's gym with two beautiful women at his arms. As soon as Elizabeth left though, he turned to Emily.
"-Why did you have to invite her?
-Lucky!!!! She was practically beggingg me to invite her. Or she was about to
snatch my eyes out!
-What? You are delusional!
-She was jealous.
-Was not!
-Lucky open your eyes for God's sake! <
-I'll pick you up at 7"
Without saying anything else Lucky got up and left, leaving Emily perplexed on what she did wrong.
Lucky went home. He had to change the outfit he chose for that night. If Emily was right and Elizabeth was indeed jealous of the time he was supposed to spend alone with his best friend, he would make her flip out. This was his turn to play with her heart, like she did non stop with his since he met her a couple of weeks ago. He felt like he was on an emotional roller coaster every time she would walk into a room.
Lucky took a long, hot shower. He shaved, combed his hair, put some aftershave then got dressed. By the time he was all done, it was 6:30. Lucky had a pair of black pants, a black shirt, and a jacket. On his way to the Quartemaine's mansion he picked up two single roses. Reginald opened the door and let him in, telling him the girls would be right down. Waiting by the stairs, Lucky was walking back and forth.
"-Stop that, you're going to use the rug! He heard from his back.
-Oh shut up Edward!"
Lucky turned around and saw Monica, shoving Edward the family room.
"-Lucky you there? He heard Emily call from upstairs
"-A beautiful flower for an even more beautiful girl.
Lucky was waiting as Emily ran up the stairs again. He looked up and saw
Elizabeth at the top, nervously looking down at him. She slowly started to
come down, and Lucky kept his breath inside. He had to find a way to calm the
beating of his heart. When she arrived at the bottom, he took the other rose
from his back, and gave it to her, wondering if he should say the same thing he
just told Emily. He decided to change it a little.
"-A beautiful flower for the most beautiful AND disturbing girl."
He saw her blush as his comment took her all the way back to their first kiss,
in the Windermere kitchen. She whispered "thank you" and took the flower to
her nose, to inhale her perfect sent.
"-It smells so good, she said, looking in his eyes
Lucky gave each of his arms to the girls, and they went out the door,
completely forgetting to say bye to the adults in the living room. At the gym,
Lucky saw a couple of guys looking his way with envy, as he was sitting at a
table, each girl on his sides.
"-Well, I must say I make some of these guys jealous tonight! Lucky said with
a smile, as he put each arm on the back of the girls' chairs.
Lucky saw Elizabeth's mouth drop to the floor, and he regretted his words right
away, cursing himself to be so stupid, but he saw Elizabeth laughed, as she
playfully hit him again. It was Lucky's time to pick his jaw up off the floor,
as he realized she really understood the silly warning he gave her, and went
against it. This was going to be an interesting night after all.
