Amelia's POV
The drive was short, the drive was long.
It was a short route that only took fifteen minutes or so with no traffic.
But with Luca Millar it always had to be long, drawn out and tantalizingly slow.
We drove through the pouring rain and made basic small chat but his occasional smirks and rude comments were enough to make my blood boil.
"I'm going to call my brother," I said
"M'kay" hummed Luca as he continued to drive.
I dialed my brothers number and waited for him to pick up.
"You on your way home now?" he asked
"Yep, I’ll be back soon, someone gave me a lift so I didn't have to walk." I said
"Okay, I might not be back when you get home because I had to run to the store to get a few things, do you need anything whilst I'm out?" he asked
"Umm no, is Peter or James home?" I asked
"No James is with Cassie"
Cassie was James' long term girlfriend.
"And Peter is at work"
Peter worked part-time in a coffee shop.
"Okay" I said
"Have you got a key?" asked Clayton
"Yes Clay I have a key" I said
"Well okay, I’ll see you when I get home" he said.
"Bye Clay"
"Bye Lia"
I sighed as I put my phone back into my bag scratching my forehead and rubbing my tired eyes.
It had been a very long day.
"Luca Millar if you don't drive faster I'm going to kill you" I said as Luca slowed down even more as we drove into my street.
"Sorry sorry, don't get your panties in a twist, I’m just trying to be safe, I can barely see shorty, the rain is so bad" he growled
"Ok" I muttered
"And we're here" said Luca pulling to a stop.
"Okay, thanks, goodbye" I said turning to get out the car.
"Hold on one minute shortcake, isn't there some gymnastics medals I was promised to get a look at?" he smirked.
"Oh right fine, but my brother is going to kill me" I said
I got out the car and headed down the front path to the door.
It was still raining very heavily and I tried my best not to trip over the mess that was our front yard.
I fumbled with numb fingers to get my key out my back pocket but couldn't find it.
"Oh s**t" I said
"Looking for this?" Luca smirked holding up a small silver key.
"Give it here" I shouted at him through the rain.
"Hmm, maybe I’ll keep it," said Luca grinning at me mischievously.
"No Luca, this isn't time for one of your silly games," I said
"In fact shorty I think it is, catch me if you can" he grinned running around the front garden.
"Luca Millar get back here now!" I shouted
"Come catch me short stack, I know you want to" he grinned.
I sighed as I ran after him around the yard.
I started to laugh as he dodged around me in a circle making my head spin.
He pulled stupid faces at me as we ran around in circles.
"Almost “he said as I lunged for him but he dodged out the way.
"Lucaaaa" I wined at him
"Ow poor little shortcake can't catch the big old bad boy" he smirked walking backwards.
I lunged for him again but this time he didn't expect it and fell back slightly tripping on a bit of hose pipe.
I roared with laughter as he lay on the ground in the mud and rain laughing loudly too.
"Help me up shorty" he held out his hand for me.
I took it and tried to pull him up but he pulled me straight down on top of him.
"Luca" I blushed as I picked myself up slightly
I hovered above him and looked into his eyes.
His eyes became glassy as he stared back at me.
"You caught me" he said
"And you caught me" I replied still looking down at him
He smiled up at me gently and pushed a loose piece of wet hair out my face.
"How could I have gone so may years in this school never to notice such a beautiful person" he said.
I blushed.
"But I've noticed now" he whispered touching my cheek with his hand making me shudder.
"AMELIA JANE MESSER WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING" shouted Clayton over the howling wind and rain.
I turned my head to see the tall shadowed figure of my brother standing at the edge of the garden.
"Nothing" I jumped up walking over your him.
"Who the hell are you?" exclaimed Clayton as Luca jogged over to us.
"Luca Millar" he said holding out his hand.
Clayton shot daggers at Luca as he shook hands roughly with him.
"inside now" Clayton hissed
"okay, but"
"Now!" exclaimed Clayton
"Fine” I said putting my head down and walking to the front door.
It took Clayton a few more minutes before he came in behind me.
"where has Luca gone?" I asked
"home" said Clayton
"oh, that was rude and bad" I said
"well I'm sorry Lia but I'm not the one who got detention today, you are, so when I come home to find you with a boy" he growled
"I know Clayton and I'm sorry but Luca gave me a lift home from detention.
"oh so he was in the same detention as you?" he scowled.
I nodded and turned on my heel.
"Where are you going?" he asked
"Shower!" I exclaimed back running up the stairs.
I didn't want to tell Clayton that not only was Luca in my detention but he was the reason I was in it in the first place.
