Keeping Secrets [Luciana/Ambrose] Lucie's POV
"Luciana, don't go..
please."
His voice tore my heart apart. Sure, I felt bad about pressuring him to tell me what happened at the Ball, but I
had to know. He should've been used to my pressuring.. I mean, isn't everybody? I'm like, gorgeous.. but I really didn't feel like it at that moment. My mascara was practically drawing on my face as it mixed with my tears, my eyes were burning, and I couldn't stop leaking..
I mean,
crying.
I was angry..
jealous, even. Luciana Avery Saint Clair was never jealous. Here I was, quite the contrary, envious of some little Viper chick that Ambrose put his
stupid lips on. I never got this invested in his private life.. so why was I on the verge of sobbing?
"You don't need me," I spat without thinking, my eyes spilling out even more pointless tears, "You never needed me. Friends can be replaced, Ambrose.. and you obviously replaced me."
"I didn't, Lucie.. fuck, I'd never.. never in a million years.."
The look on Ambrose's face almost made me break down. His eyes had lost their sparkle, and his face had fallen drastically. I couldn't bear to look at him, so I directed my attention to the window.
"Just fuck you, Ambrose.
Fuck. You. Asshole."
"
GOD DAMMIT, LUCIANA!"
I jumped out of my skin. Ambrose was now directly in front of me, holding my shoulders. "Luciana, I'm sorry.. so, so sorry for what I'm about to say.. but you need to stop being a possessive
bitch. I'd never hurt you, you know that.. and you know you do. I didn't have to tell you about her, but I did.. and you're freaking out about it."
"Is that what I am to you, Ambrose? A
bitch?!" I screeched, promptly smacking the hell out of him. "Don't you EVER call me that again, you fucking--"
Before I knew it, his lips were on mine, and I was his again. I was submissively his. I would
always be submissively his, whether I liked it or not.
After we kissed for a while, he pulled away, biting his lip. "That was our first fight," said he softly, keeping his eyes on my lips, "..You sound
so hot when you're angry."
A laugh bubbled up from my throat. Don't ask me why, it just did. I could feel the tension being lifted from my body as I pinned him on the back to the ground, shaking my head at him. "Shut the hell up, you stupid asshole," I said, contradicting my last statement as our lips met again.
Don't even tell me.. I know. I forgive way too easily.
