Still breathing heavily from the sudden rush of her body against his Lucas nodded in agreement, truth be told he didn’t really care. This was about finally making her happy - something he should’ve done a long time ago. Snaking his arms around her waist and sitting himself up to her level, the male placed a kiss upon her forehead. “I agree,” he said with a smile, brushing a couple of strands away from her face. “How about we turn on that Netflix thing and order some food, yeah?” 

A sigh of relief escaped her lips when he agreed, not that she had much doubt he would. “Thank you,” she shut her eyes when he kissed her forehead. While this wasn’t her “first time” with a man, in fact, she had already been married. But even then, it was filled with deceit and insecurity. Now she was secure, she was safe. And it made her terrified, although Lucas wouldn’t be able to tell. “That Netflix thing?” she repeated, laughing at him. “God, I love you.”

“Dude, I caught Michael yelling f-bombs the other day and I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.”

“Oh no! What are you going to do?”

“They’re good, growing up and all that shit. I decided not to send them to preschool this year so, that’ll be fun.” 

“I can’t believe they’re old enough for preschool.”

“Hey, we ain’t anywhere near married till he puts a ring on it.” 

“I’m sure he will. And that’ll be a part of him that Brianna has never touched.”

Sliding her shirt up over her shoulders and discarding it to the floor, Lucas relaxed back into the bed looking at Scarlett in complete awe. Considering he was the one who always mucking around he found himself so in love with her in this very moment and he couldn’t wait to spend the rest of his life with her. “I missed you more,” he replied with a cheeky smirk, his hands running over her soft skin. “I know, so am I. I never want you to leave my arms now I have you.” 

“I’m not going anywhere,” she assured him. There was no doubt inside her that now he had finally let himself admit his feelings that they’d be perfect for each other. Scarlett had been saying it for years. “But maybe we should take it a bit slow,” she finally said as she exhaled a breath that she didn’t realize she was holding. “I don’t want us to rush anything.”

The male let out a sigh as the brunette swiftly climbed on top of him, they’d barely even touched and he was already frustrated. A smirk landed on his lips as his fingertips wandered up her thighs. “I’m hungry,” He replied, blue eyes meeting with hers. “But not for food.”

“We should fix that,” she murmured lowly, her face moving closer to his. Her eyes filled with soft lust. “I’ve missed you.. this.” In their time apart, there had been ups and downs but there was no moment that Scarlett didn’t wish she was with him. “I’m so happy,” she breathed as her hands traced upon his chest.

nat-harrison‌:

“Yeah, well. He does get bored easily.”

“I think if he was going to stray, he would have already. You guys are basically married.”

[scarlettxcarmichael]

evelyn-archer‌:

“It’s fine, nothing new to report.”

“Nothing at all? How’s the boys?”

[scarlettxcarmichael]

lucas--neilson‌:

“You sure?” Lucas said, nuzzling in closer to the brunette’s neck, placing a few kisses on her silky skin. It wasn’t even meant to be in a sexual way, it was more just an intimate way to keep her close. “We could order uber eats, then we don’t have to move and you can cook tomorrow night or something. Cause you know, now every night is date night.”

“Very sure,” she nudged him with her nose as he softly kissed her skin. “I suppose that will take some getting used to,” her tone was soft but her body moved beside him, pushing off him slightly so she could straddle him in an instant. Her petite frame surrounding him. “Are you hungry? Or.. maybe we could work up an appetite?” she suggested lowly, looking at him from under her eyelashes.

evelyn-archer‌:

“Nah, you don’t have to worry about Lucas wandering.”

“Are you worried? About Abel?”

[scarlettxcarmichael]

evelyn-archer‌:

“That’s crazy, Scar I’m so happy for you. You deserve the absolute world.”

“Thanks, sis. I still feels... really weird. Like I’m going to wake up at any second. But -uh, how’s everything with you?”

[scarlettxcarmichael]

Lucas looked down at the tiny brunette in his arms with a look of content on his face. A feeling he hadn’t felt in longer than he could remember. Nobody could take this away this time. “It’s about time,” he responded with a playful chuckle, his arms tightening around her petite waist. “Which means, tonight is date night, if you’re not ready doing anything.”

“I’ll say,” she chuckled softly alongside him. Scarlett enjoyed the feeling of him near, wrapping his arms around her. It felt like home. “No plans,” she shrugged her shoulders, a small smile on her lips as her finger tips grazed his forearms. “Why don’t we just stay in? I can cook dinner, like I offered before.”

[scarlettxcarmichael]

evelyn-archer:

“What the fuck, tell me more.”

“It just kind of happened. We were just.. talking and he finally said it. He wants for us to try, like for real this time. I don’t know what made him change his mind.”

[scarlettxcarmichael]

nat-harrison:

“Yeah but you and I will always worry about her won’t we?” 

“I suppose you’re right. It’s not just Brianna I worry about, but you know.”

[scarlettxcarmichael]

nat-harrison:

“There’s not a day I don’t think of it. I’m terrified Brianna is going to break us apart. But I’ve learned that it’s more my own issues that make me feel that way. It was hard going into it but I wanted it so bad and I love him so much that I just don’t care what the outcome is.”

“I wouldn’t worry about Brianna. If Abel wanted to be with her, he would be.. but he’s with you. I suppose that’s how I need to think too but it’s- it’s easier to say the words, you know.” 

[scarlettxcarmichael]

evelyn-archer:

“Oh yeah? Like what?” 

“Lucas told me he loves me.”

[scarlettxcarmichael]

It was so freeing to finally kiss her and do something that wasn’t just for convenience. “I can guarantee I’ve missed you more,” challenged Lucas with a cheeky smirk against her lips. Without even realizing it his hands had shifted to her waist, pulling her body to press against his. “I know and I love you too.”

While Scarlett wanted to express that she knew they would end up together, just as she had said for years, there were many times that filled her with doubt. Watching him with Brianna, watching him alone and not wanting her, perhaps this was her reward for her patience. God loved to give her second chances. “So.. we’re doing this then?” she asked, raising her eyebrows questioningly although her flushed lips were curved up into a smile. “For real, this time.”
