A week had passed by and she saw Lucas every day. He talked a lot, he told her his dreams and what he wanted in life. "I want to travel Olivia and the other one is you." as he had looked at her.
She was confused "what do you mean?"
"What I want in life the most is you by my side." as he clarified what he meant. Something had unnerved her and she had looked away. Did he really want her? and not just to use her like the rest? No, he is the same as every men that comes and goes.
Lucas had seen Olivia, everyday. They would have dinner and he did most of the talking and sharing. It was hard to capture her attention. She was there but not really there. He could tell she wasn't there for his company but the money he gave her.
When she had told her that he wanted her in his life, it seemed as if she had considered it but quickly covered it up. That gave Lucas a lot of hope that maybe she could grow and learn to trust him. That she could let him know how she felt.
The other thing that he had realized about her is that she was okay with being hit. She had told him that he could do anything to her including physical things that could scar her if he increased the money that he gave her.
That had shocked him to think what cruel things she endured just for money. He wanted to know how she entered the life of being a prostitute because when he asked if she wanted to do anything else in life, she had responded in a monotone voice "No, my fate has been decided for me and I'm being punished."
When he had asked what she had meant by that she didn't answer him because she felt as if she had said too much. Which Lucas was grateful for, which meant he was getting to her. Sometimes he wanted to give up honestly.
She was difficult to get to, her heart was stone cold. Yet every time he saw her,he had a change of heart. Lucas had a deep longing to take care of her, and to treat her to the finest things in life. If only she would let him.
He always volunteered to get her something, and she refused. Her reason was "everything comes with a price."
Sometimes when she spoke he would look at her mouth and she would bite her lip "You can have me if you want."
Lucas resisted with all his might, it was very difficult. Especially the days she would wear extremely revealing clothes so she could mock him or try to break all the defiance he had. He wondered why she tried to tempt him so hard.
Lucas shuddered at the thought of loving a women who wasn't capable of even loving him back. He felt frustrated at the thought. He wanted her heart, not just her body.
Would he pursue her love for eternity?
