Chapter 18

In this chapter Lucas slaps Anthony which counts as abuse so this is a warning.

Lucas

"What did he say to you?" I interrogate Forrest while making down the street, the familiar bushes, and trees that separate the houses of the rich protect us from the scorching rays of the sun.

"Nothing." Forrest blatantly answers and I give him a look that tells him that I'm aware that he's lying. "It doesn't matter anyway. He didn't insult me or anything like that so don't worry."

"Obviously he didn't insult you, he's not like that. But I know for a fact that he said something sexual. Ignore him, okay? Unless you liked it." I chuckle when a blush appears on my friends face. I can't judge him though, I would blush too if Mr. Anthony said something like that to me.

"What!?"

"Oh, come on. You said he is hot." I state and turn around, walking with my back in the correct direction and facing Forrest.

"Can we drop it?" He suggests with an exasperate and blushed face. I nod and turn back around before I do something stupid and fall. "Why don't we talk about you?" He says with an evil smirk on his face.

"What's there to talk about?"

"You really think that I don't know?" He asks with a brow raised.

"Know what..." I mutter and my heart starts to beat harder in my chest.

"About you and Mr. Anthony." He states with a calm and nonchalant face while flames start to rise in my tummy. How did he even find out? Not that there is anything to find out. Between me and him is just a long abyss of nothingness.

"That night when he got drunk. When you were fighting about him having a girlfriend, I might or might have not eavesdropped a little." He explains and I look at him with the best poker face I could pull. This bitc-

After Forrest and I arrive at Mr. Anthony's house we go to the changing rooms and we both change. After that we part our ways, me wearing the new uniform I bought myself and Forrest wearing black dress pants and a shirt. He goes to do his job and I head to the kitchen.

I am not mad at Forrest for finding out about what happened with Mr. Anthony. I can thrust him and besides that what happened is long forgotten, like it never existed.

While deep in my thoughts I watch Veronica stuff the croissants with chocolate, preparing breakfast for my boss. Her back is facing me but I don't mind, I prefer her to not see my hurt face when I remember that Beatrice is in this house too. I forgot about her -or maybe I wanted to forget about her.

I can't help the feeling that I get when I remember about this relationship but I will get over it, I always get over it no matter what it is. I have to.

The kitchen door opening and the wood hitting the wall makes me flinch a little bit but when I lay my eyes on Julia coming towards me the corners of my mouth lift, creating a smile. The red lipstick is staining her lips and her blue eyes look me up and down and when they land on my face she smiles.

Excited, she jumps on the stool next to me, playing with a strand of hair that failed to stick with the others into a bun high on her head.

"How are you?" I ask, trying to make a conversation.

"Perfect. So, you're still wearing that?" She asks and points at my dress. I look around awkwardly, not knowing how to answer her judgmental statement. I know that she doesn't mean harm, maybe she's just honest.

After a few moments of silence in which only the sound of bread being cut by Veronica could be heard, Julia opens her mouth.

"Are you doing anything this Friday after work?" She asks, the sweet smile back on her pale face.
