~¤★ Sarah Dessen- THE LULLABY ★¤~

The sun sets and the darkness started to enveloped through the vast sparkling shore of the beach. The cold swayed of wind embraced her skin while she slowly walked through the path toward the beach house.

Rick left her as soon as he dropped her in front of the beach. She looked around to look for Lucas.

And after a minute, she suddenly heard a soft music played. And it was her favorite song "YOUR LOVE IS THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL" the sweet melody of the song, enchanted her. While at the lighted part of the beach, there was a very handsome man waiting for her.

Like in a magical land, the big part of the beach started to got lighted, and at the shore there was a table setting for a candelight dinner.

And the man wearing a black suit winked at her while he continued to play his piano.

She paused, when Lucas approached him

"Good evening Athe, thanks for coming here tonight." Lucas greeted her and guide her toward their dinner table.

"I believe that you never invited me properly. Hence, you sent a whole bunch of men to gave me a threat, just to came here." Athena fired him a hateful looked. "And don't touch me, I can walk by myself. Let's finish this dinner so I can go back to my daughter." then she started walking toward candelight dinner.

"I apologize for that, but if I didn't gave you that kind of threat, you wouldn't came here tonight." he looked at her and followed her.

"Look, Lucas. You are not kid anymore to play that such kind of threat. Did you know that was a kind of bullying." she snatched the chair and sat harshly.

"Cheeky Pie, I only want to spend time with you." he looked at her with a gloomy  handsome face.

"Oh,  please don't call me that name, it's irritates me. And don't make that gloomy face, I won't buy that." she looked at him directly while crossing her arms to her chest.

"Cheeky Pie,  don't you miss this place?" he asked.

"I said don't call me that name! And no! I don't miss this place, I hate this place!" she shouted and looked away from him.

"I don't believe you. I know how much you like this place." he sighed while looking at her.

"Then, dont! So, are we gonna have this dinner or what?" she ask stubbornly.

"Of course, of course." he replied happily. "I asked the cook of the restaurant we used to dine, then he came here to cook for us. It's all your favorite food. " he smiled at her.

"I'm on a diet, so I can't eat much of this. " she said while checking the bountiful dishes on the table.

"Don't worry, I will ask the chef later to delivered some of them to your house, so you can share them  to our daughter." he said.

"You don't need to do that." she said and grabbed the fork and the spoon.

"But I want too." he said while he
looked admiringly at her.

"Are you going to eat or you will just stare at me for a whole night?" she asked while she continued chewing her food.

"I'm already full  just looking at you." he smiled at her while toying his food with fork and continued looking at her.

"Okey! Continue in what you're doing. If you already satisfy on bullying me. Maybe, it is best if you let me go home now." she pleaded with a dismayed looked in her face.

"Cheeky Pie, please." Lucas cut in. "I just only want a good conversation with you."

"You are seven years late to have this kind of conversation. So many things had happened already, you changed. I've changed then let's just move on with our own separate life." Athena sighed.

"I dont want to do that! I want you back! Please, give me another chance to make things right, promise." he pleaded

"Promises are made to be broken and you prove to me that." she replied with a sad voice. "You decieved me, you hurt me badly, you don't trust me. So, how can I believe to all your words.?" A tears slowly run on her face.

"I didn't know why I mistrust you, I got blinded with jealousy. For seven years... I live with pain... " he stood on his seat then hugged Athe from her back.

"I hate you... I hate you so much..." Athena sobbed, while trying to got away from him.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Athe." he tighly hugged her and his tears also started to flow, for he love that he have tried to forget for the past seven years. He knows at this very moment, his love won't fade even through the years.

Seems the God of Love witnessed their hurtful moment, the heaven cries with them, the lightning strike, a loud boom of thunder and a heavy rain embraced through the brokenhearted lovers. They stayed in their positions like they were making up for the lost time.

"I need to go home now." Athena whispered with a crack voice.

"I won' t let you go." Lucas replied.

"Why? Lucas... " she asked

"I will bring you home as soon the rains stop." he said and he slowly squat beside her and grabbed her sling bag then hurriedly carried her on his arms toward the beach house.

"Hey! What are you doing? Put me down!" she wrestled from Lucas tight hold.

"Nope, I wont let you go! Never, I won't ever let you go." he said  "Never again..." he smiled at her and continued taking a path toward the beach house.

"Then, I will go home by myself. Wait where's my bag? I will call Leendon to pick me up in here. " she continued fighting from Lucas strong hold.

"You were not going to call him." he slowly kicked the main door of the beach house and walked directly toward his room "If you wouldn't like me kill him in front of you" then he hardly kicked his bedroom door then throw Athena on the bed.

"Ouch!You asshole!" she shouted with exaggerated pain.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Are you hurt?" he asked guiltily while checking at her.

"You moron! Yes of course it's hurt! You hardly throw me in this bed!" she pushed him away from her." Give me back my bag! I'm going to call Leendon." she shouted at him.

"Nope, I won't." he said and removed the bag on his neck, then throw it inside the cabinet at the corner of the room and grabbed a clean clothes for her." Change your wet clothes." he throw a dry clothes her lap.

"I can't wear that! It's your woman clothes."she said while accusingly looked at him.

"Why you can't ? he asked.

"What a heartless asshole!" she shouted and walked closer to him. "Your dirty!!!" she whispered and hardly stumped his foot and turned her back  from him and grabbed the dry clothes and while still cursing him then she went inside the bathroom.

"Oh! It's hurt! Hey I'm not dirty! They're your own clothes you left here years ago! Don't worry, they're all clean even your underwears. I washed them all by myself this morning." he said loudly and laughed.

"Your dirty!!" she shouted back at him angrily.

"I'm sure I'm not! I take a bath three times a day." he continue teasing at her.

"Ah! help!" Athe wailed with so much fear and run fast outside the bathroom.

"What! What happen!" he asked with so much concerned.

"I heard a voices! Outside! At the back of the house." she continued stutering.

"Ah, they're the kitchen staff I hired to prepare our meal tonight." he explained and looked slowly at her from head to toe and he smiled mischievously.

"What?" she felt so annoyed  the way he looked at her.

"Hmmm, You still have a gorgeous sexy body even after you gave birth to our daughter." he mischievouly smiled while still checking to her nude body in front of him.

"Ohhh! Myyyy! God! Oh my God." she shouted hysterically when she remembered that she don't wear anything. "Pervert!" she wailed, while trying to covered her body and run back inside the bathroom.

Lucas whistled when Athe emerged from the bathroom. She's still beautiful from head to toe, he couldn't seen any difference from her younger version to her current version.

For the past seven years he was longing in every inch of her. He don't get involved in any serious relationship, for he always compared them to Athena. So he just played and just showered them with gifts to every woman that can plesured him.

"Done checking on me?" she asked while walking toward Lucas that were comfortably seated, sipping his wine.

"Come  join me." he offered a seat for her in front of the table full of food.

"How come there's a lot of food in here?  I believe our food ruin by the rain?" she plainly asked

"Like I told you earlier, I ask the chef to prepared us a huge amount of different food, I know you love to eat." he winked at her. "Come sit, I believe you're already starving." he pulled a seat for her then sat in front of her.

"Are the kitchen staff you hired are still here?" she asked.

"Why?" he replied.

"Because I'm going to ask them if I can ride with them on my way home." she borringly said.

"They already left a while ago. And even they're still here I won't let you go with them. Now sit or I am going to hold you up in here forever." he warned her.

" Fine!" she said and sat lousily.

"Fine? Even I'm going to hold you here forever?" he charmingly smiled at her.

"Fine, that I'm going to eat! Okey?" She rashly replied and heaped a mouthful of food while staring at him.

"Slow on eating. You will got a tummy ache if you don't chew your food carefully." he widely smiled in her childish side.

"Pour me a wine." she ordered him while still chewing her food.

"As you wish Mam." he replied  and poured a glass of wine for her.

"Let me have that Lasagna and that spicy meatballs." she ordered him again.

"Okey, what else?" he asked, while joyfully following her orders. He really missed this carefree Athena.

"And that pork steak and pour me another glass of wine again." she gave her glass to Lucas .

"Here." Lucas gave back the glass of wine and put a pork steak in her plate.

"Let's drink tonight since I think this rain wouldn't stop very soon. Let's not waste our time just staring back each other." she suggested and intenly looked at him

"As you wish." he replied. "Are you also checking on me? " he teasingly asked her.

"Yes, I'm checking your two long horn, if it's still there." she fought back.

"So, how was your life? How are you and your lover?" he asked coldly.

"We are fine and he is a very passionate lover, not like the man I used to know." she accusingly looked at him. "So, how's your flashy hot chick model that likes to wrap herself at your body like a leech. " she asked with disgust.

"Aha! So, for the past seven years you didn't even tried and searched about me in Google? Try to Google me. You wouldn't see me with not only flashy hot chick model you've seen in that fashion magazine you read. That's already an old one, a very obsolete one. If you really want know more about me, and the very latest gossip of my women just type my name in Google." he teased her and laughed heartily.

"I'm not interested with your personal life. I don't have anything to do with you. We're done, And of course you knew what's the meaning of done. FYI, It means end, finished." she said and made a cross sign using her two fingers.

"I'm not done with you. " he looked seriously at her. "And I am not fine seeing you with Leendon Pierre. So, watch yourself when I am around if you don't wanna see me getting crazy." he warned her.

"You're unbelieveable. He's my bestfriend. He was existed before I meet you. And I don't have any plan on cutting my good relationship with him. So, don't ever touch him or hurt him or else I will hate you forever" she looked directly into his eyes.

" I won't do that, that's a lame move." he replied and sighed.

"Very good." she noded. "Pour me a drink."

"Just don't make any passionte move with Leendon when I am around." he said and poured another wine to her.

"I cannot promise to that." she said.

" Athena Sandoval! " he rose his voice.

"Fine! fine! I try." she replied "Your unbelieveable."

"Good." he smiled for his success and slowly sipped his wine.

"Pour me another wine." she said groggily. " Let's drink to seal our broken relationship, let's end it here and tomorrow let's part our way. Tomorrow and onwards our relationship were just between a parents to our daughter. Okey? " she drank a whole glass of wine.

"If that's what you want." he smiled mischieveously.

"Yes, yes! That's what I want. Pour me another glass of wine." she ordered him again.

" You sure? You are already drunk." he said

"Pour me another one" she said while battling her eyes. "Who said I'm drunk? I'm not." she tried to shake herself to get sober.

"Okey." he poured her another glass of wine while watching her every uncomfortable moves.

"Why? Why? you left me? Why you took so long to go home? Why you let other women touched your body? Why you hurt me so bad?" she wobbly stood in her feet and walked toward Lucas.

"Hey! hey! Cheeky Pie. Watch your step! " he hurriedly helped her.

"Why? You gave your heart to the other women? Why you let them touched your body? Why you hurt me badly." she repeatedly asked while hitting Lucas.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry." he hugged her tight.

"Pour me another drink; I want to lost my senses! I want to forget everything even just this night." she shouted and started sobbing. "I want to forget this pain even just this night." she pleaded.

"Okey, okey, but let's settle yourself first." Lucas lead her back in her seat then poured another glass of wine for Athena.

"I hate you, I really hate you." she grabbed the glass of wine and drank it in one go.

"I know, I know." he replied while he hugged her from her back. "I'm so sorry." he whispered. "I swear, I won't ever  let go."

Compared to the bad weather last night. Today was the opposite day. The bright sunlight showered through the open window. And it's seems the Goddness of Love, gave her blessing to the lovers who were sleeping soudly, while hugging each other. Like in an old saying "After the storm the sun will shine."

Then suddenly.

"Lucas, What happen? Oh my God! What are we done last night?" she asked hysterically when she saw nudeness inside the white blanket. "What did you done to me?" she asked and hit with pillow at the sleeping Lucas.

"What?" he asked happily "Good Morning beautiful." he kissed her forehead and walked confidently nude toward the bathroom. Then he stopped for a while and turned his head back at her. "I don't remember what was happen last night. I can't answer to your questions. Maybe you can." he winked at her then went inside the bathroom.

"Ah! Lucas Marcus Montero I hate you so much!" she shouted with her high pitched voice while he was still checking her nude body.

Inside the bathroom, a happy smart Lucas whistling while taking a bath.

Plan A! check! Success!
