Chapter Five: Home Coming

Scarlett’s fingers danced across the keyboard. Her novel was coming to life. The connection, passion, romance and love between the two main characters had reached a state where dialogue and actions appeared upon the page as if the book was writing itself. The source of this new found inspiration was easy to locate.

It was Brandon.

Her writing had fallen apart from the constant knock backs and rejections by Lucas. She had been depressed and upset. Her mind was a mass of negative thoughts, but in a single night Brandon had washed all of that negativity away. With a single kiss he had ignited the wildfire of passion that lived deep down within the depths of her soul. Last night had been the best night in a long time. In a way she felt silly, but it was nice to go out to a posh restaurant and dress up for the occasion. She couldn’t remember the last time she had got to wear her favourite dress. What made the night even more special was the way he looked at her. His big beautiful eyes had been glued to her all night long. He listened intently to everything she had to say. The more they spoke the more interested he became in her. After last night he knew her better than anyone else.

She smiled at the memory of the kiss.

Her fingers came to a stop.

A deep sigh escaped her mouth, as she thought about the perfect setting upon that peaceful beach and the way he held her in his arms, as their tongues danced a private dance.

‘How far would he have gone?’ she muttered to the empty house. A more important and troubling thought came to mind. ‘How far would I have gone?’ The tingling sensation within her chest answered that question. If she was not with Lucas then in all likelihood she would have returned to his house with him and you didn’t need to be a genius to work out what would have happened then.

Her eyes shifted to the phone number on her desk.

She wanted to see him again, but would it be too weird?

What happened if he tried to kiss her again?

Did she have the mental strength to walk away a second time?

She picked up the phone number and got up from her chair. Scarlett knew deep down inside that seeing Brandon again was a bad idea. Her feelings for him had moved far beyond the point of friendship, but she couldn’t help herself. He made her feel happy.

She walked into the hallway and picked up the phone.

She began to dial his number when suddenly the front door opened with a click. Her heart sank down into the depths of her stomach and a sickening twisting sensation tightened in her chest. The piece of paper with Brandon’s phone number was shoved into her sweat pant pockets.

Lucas stepped into the house.

He forced a smile.

‘Hi, baby.’

Lucas sat at the kitchen table, whilst Scarlett set to work at making him a nice hot cup of coffee.
