#neoctober

"yes rae, i'm okay." your gaze locked on the notebook in front of you she had caught you starring off in the distance with a pale look..

"you look like you've seen a ghost." rae commented as she noticed your features. "do you want to just leave? we've done a lot of work for tonight."

"you can - but i still have to finish up some stuff," you admitted.

rae nodded and stood up from her seat at the café, she picked up her notebook and smiled at you, "call me when you get home." you nodded.

"i want to hear all about your horror movie date with seulgi," you replied. however, you noticed her gaze shifting from you to someone else.

"what?" you asked as you were about to turn around.

"no." rae grabbed your shoulders and held you facing her. "don't look, the cute waiter was staring at you," she said.

a blush flushed your cheeks as you pushed rae's hands off you.

"lucas?" you asked softly. rae nodded and stood up straight.

"oh he's coming, act natural." rae said before moving her hands from your shoulders. you both falling into the most unnatural pose yet. 

"uh hi - do you girls need anything else?" lucas' voice caught you off guard. you glanced at the tall male. he had a cute smile of his face, without it anyone would think he was an absolute bully.

"i don't, but y/n's staying a bit longer so maybe she does." rae said before winking.

it's been almost three weeks now and you've had a crush on lucas. he'd only just started to work here, yet something about him seemed so familiar but you couldn't quite put your finger on it. maybe you were lovers even before this world? that's just the bullshit rae and seulgi tell you. on the plus side, lucas seemed to be into you as well. after weeks of his gaze lingering on you just a little too long to the soft smiles, he gave you when you entered, you assumed the feeling was mutual.

you watched as rae placed some money on the table before leaving you with lucas. there were a few seconds of awkward silence.

"she's quite a character." lucas said as he admired your friend. he took out his notepad and looked back down at you. "so what can i get you?" he asked.

"um.. " you looked down at your notebook and reached for the menu. "do you have any recommendations?"

lucas tilted his head to the side and bit his bottom lip. you crossed your legs at his actions.

"how about i surprise you?" he said.

"why not." you handed him the menu before watching him leave your table. you gazed out the window and saw rae waving to you from the other side of the street. your head hung in second-hand embarrassment before waving to her. you saw her girlfriend seulgi come from behind and pull her into a hug. when you were with them it felt like you were third-wheeling. even though they tried to pull you in and treat you well - it just wasn't the same.

not long after you were looking back at your notebooks trying to figure out what the fuck your teacher was speaking about. this class you were taking was a bit more challenging than all your others so it took out of energy from you.

"here it is." lucas' voice broke your train of concentration. you sat up as he placed a small plate next to your notebook. it had a cute pastry with a dark coloured filling.  "it's actually my favourite one." lucas beamed down at you. his smile was so cute and it was one of your favourite things about him.

"thank you." you said smiling up at him. a faint blush was painted across his face as he was about to turn around. you noticed that he stopped in his tracks and turned back to face you.

"uh y/n." he said, "my shift ends in a bit, would you maybe like to get out of here with me?"

you cocked your head to the side and thought about it for a few seconds. with every passing moment, you could sense the anticipation just choking the taller boy.  

"sure." you agreed.

erotic moans slipped from your lips as your head titled backwards. your fingers lacing in with lucas' as he thrust into you relentlessly. one thing led to another and he was back at your place. his puppy-like eyes staring at you, his full lips tempting you, his body just urging you to sin. and just like the stressed-out university student you were- you gave in.

his lips capture yours in a kiss, slipping his tongue into your mouth and savouring each passing second. the kisses were desperate and dripping with passion. how on earth could he kiss this way after only seeing you for about three weeks?

your velvety walls clenched around him as his pace became sloppier. his hand slipping down your body and to your clit where he rubbed a finger against it, stimulating it and adding to your high. it wasn’t long before you felt yourself becoming undone under his touch. his breathing changing as he buried his head against your neck. the pornographic sounds of his moans echoed in the small bedroom as he released.

"i … i think i love you." lucas said as he held you close. you chuckled at his statement.

"we only just met," you replied. lucas was silent. this would have been the best time to stop whatever the hell this was - but it was almost 2am and his hand fit so perfectly in yours and his scent lingered resurrecting nostalgia while his voice made you feel safe. everything was perfect.

its been almost a week since you and lucas had sex. every time he sees you, this dorky grin forms on his features. he leaves whatever he is doing to see you, to meet you, to be with you. it was a typical case of puppy love at first however as the days passed it developed into something more sinister. the texting became continuous, his calls more frequent and his surprise visits were more common.

“so things have stopped going missing?” rae asked. “when did you notice it?” you smiled and nodded. 

“ever since i started to date lucas i think - i can’t remember the exact date..” you replied.

"and you're really - really dating him now?"  rae asked as she played with the tips of seulgi's hair.  you nodded and proceeded to tell her about the ups and downs of the relationship.

"that doesn't sound too healthy y/n." seulgi added. "i mean its one thing to have a healthy obsession but just make sure he doesn't turn out to be a yandere."  she teased.

"yeah they are so scary."  rae added.

"you guys have a point."  you bit down on your bottom lip, "if he shows signs i'll break it off."  you made up your mind to be safe instead of thinking with your vagina.

"great! well let's get some food - i'm starving." rae said as she stood up.

"ah i wish i could but i already promised lucas to have dinner with him."  you answered.   this was the 9th time you chose him over them.

three weeks later you pushed open your apartment door and stormed inside. the sound of your heels clicking against the floor, breaking the silence.

"it was just a smile." you spun around and faced lucas. his white shirt fitted tightly on his muscular form,  yet his tie was loosened from the constant adjusting. his once neat hair now falling messily framing his pretty face.

"just a smile?" lucas scoffed, he pushed the door closed and you heard the lock click. "i saw how he was practically devouring you with his eyes."

"what?" you crossed your arms over your chest, your pretty red dress was starting to be a bit uncomfortable now due to the tight fit. you only wore it because rae had bought it for you a while ago even though you knew lucas hated it.

"you don't know men y/n." he paused and flopped down on the chair, his gaze never leaving your body. "you don't know what's in their minds when they look at you."

"and i suppose you do?" you added. he went silent.

"i'm sorry, i just don't want them to look at you in that way." lucas confessed.”can’t you see this is how much i care about you?” he added making you feel a tinge of guilt. "come here," he said as he reached for his tie and pulled it from around his collar. he popped the first few buttons of his shirt - but his eyes lingered on you.

"what if i don't want to?" you teased.

"i'll make you." lucas' voice dropped a couple of tones.

as much as you hated to admit it, you loved when he got darker, it was a contrast to his cute, bubbly personality and it was attractive. you took a step forward still keeping some distance between you and the young man. he smirked. that was never a good sign for you.

"are you scared?" lucas asked.

"nope," you replied.

"good." lucas lunged forward and grabbed your wrists pulling you down on top of his lap. the ends of your dress pushed up as you landed on his thighs.  "you know they can't touch you like i can." his hands slowly slipping up your thighs. "can't love you like i can."

you succumbed to his touches and again fell in bed with lucas.  

"lucas, i called you here because i have to be honest with you." you fiddled with your fingers before looking back at the young man. two more weeks had passed and the relationship was more or less steady.  but,  you felt as if lucas demanded more and more from you with each passing day.

"what's wrong y/n?" he asked, "you're scaring me - is everything okay?"

"yeah," you replied. "its just.. my classes are starting back and i even got a good job."

"that's great!" lucas added.

"well..  not really - this means i wouldn't be able to give you all the attention like before." you reached forward and took his hand in yours.

"what do you mean?" lucas shook his head, you could see the confusion on his face. it was almost as if he didn't want to believe where this was going.

"i mean - we're going to have to break up." this was the hardest part of relationships. there was a moment of silence between you both. lucas covered his face with both hands to muffle his laugh.

"you're joking right?" he asked.

you shook your head.

"you can't break up with me." lucas' once happy face contorted to a more sinister one. "i thought we had something."

"no.. its not like that... i just feel as if should focus on this for now, maybe in the future we could .. " your voice trailed off as you saw him get up from his seat. he glanced back at you.

"i can't believe you're choosing that over me." he said, "i'm the one who loves you, who has always loved you. since the beginning. i'll never forget you."

"the beginning?" you questioned. but lucas didn't expand, he simply took up his bag and left. you let out a huff. it didn't go as planned but maybe it was all for the best.

"are things still going missing?" rae asked as she adjusted the collar of her shirt. you nodded.

"even more stuff." you said. "and i've changed the locks, fixed the windows but i just.."

"camera." rae said, "get a security camera or a nanny cam and put it all over."

"that's not a bad idea," you said.

"see i'm full of brilliant ideas." rae responded as she pulled you with her towards the kitchen. "now tell me when seulgi comes in, i need to bring her the gift i made for our one year anniversary. "

rae entered the kitchen and you picked up a tray and moved towards the first table. gently wiping the table and placing the empty plate on the tray. there was a gust of cold breeze and it sent chills down your spine. you looked up and saw someone enter the café. brushing it off you leaned forwards and continued to wipe the table. yet, you felt as if someone was watching you.

maybe you were being paranoid.

you finished up and moved on to the next table, a taller person dressed in black passed by and dropped something on the floor. you glanced behind and picked it up.

"mister you forgot your…" you stopped talking as you picked up the chain. you had lost this almost a month ago just after the break-up.  you looked back at the man but he was already out the café. was this your necklace? why did he have it? you pushed it in your pocket and peered out the glass window. the man was nowhere to be seen.

one week later, you sat at the computer and hooked up the nanny cam. your little puppy came trotting into the bedroom with something in his mouth.

"what is that?" you asked as you pushed yourself off the chair and grabbed the little puppy. in his mouth was a carnation flower, it was pretty and pink. but it wasn't yours. "where did you get this from?" you said before taking it and placing it on your desk. the puppy whimpered and then ran outside of your room.  you looked back at the computer screen. the video was loaded and ready to play.

woof woof!

the sound of your puppy's barks caused you to sigh, "what's wrong baby?" you called out. there was silence.  you shrugged and looked back at the screen. you sped up the video of your living-room hoping that you could find out what was going on. you just assumed that your dog was the one moving around your things, or maybe you sleepwalked, but you had to know for sure. you huffed as you glanced at the time on the video.

woof woof woof!

"are you okay?" you called out to your puppy, your eyes leaving the screen for a split second as you turned around to look at the doorway that connected your bedroom to the living area outside. you turned back to the screen and almost screamed. there was a person in the video.  you grabbed your phone and looked at the series of events.

he was tall with floppy hair, the man turned around and his face was covered half-way with a mask. but those eyes. you couldn't forget those puppy dog eyes anywhere. you gasped as the video played. lucas walked around the living room area, he sat on the couch and picked up the blanket, held it to his face and rubbed the material against his cheek. his dark eyes looking around the room before resting on the camera.

he knew you installed on. lucas pulled down his mask and smirked.

'i love you' he mouthed before drawing a heart with his fingers in the air.

he walked towards the camera and then took off his shirt. his exposed physique just taunting you he then threw the shirt to cover the lens of the camera. the feed went blank.

"kai!" you called out as you picked up your phone. you disconnected the cam form your laptop and pushed it in your bag before yelling for your puppy once more. "kai baby." you turned around and stopped in your tracks.

"ka.."

"y/n." lucas stood there, leaning against the door frame with your cute little puppy in his arms.

"please don't hurt him," you said as you gripped your phone.

"i won't, it's not him i want." lucas clicked his tongue as he stepped forward.

"what do you want?" you asked as you backed up.

"you." lucas replied, "it's always been you. from the first day we met i've only ever wanted you y/n."

"we only met a couple of months ago," you said as the back of your legs hit the desk.

lucas laughed, "you really don't remember?"  you shook your head. your eyes lingering on your pretty golden retriever that lucas took hostage.

"you were about fourteen, and started to babysit." lucas began, "you had to take care of me and i hated the idea of getting a babysitter but then i saw you." he paused, "fuck, you were the prettiest person i've ever laid eyes on. and so i tried to get you as mine. but things didn't work out and they took you away from me."  lucas squeezed the puppy a bit too hard and he squealed.

you gasped and reached out. "don't."  

lucas looked back at you, "ever since you're all i could think about. all i want to think about." lucas lowered the puppy to the floor and he scampered away. "now you're finally mine."

"stop this now or i'll call the police." you said. your voice loud yet shaky.

"they'll never reach in time." he said as he took out a flower from his back pocket. "do you know what pink carnations mean?"

you shook your head.

"it means i'll never forget you." lucas smiled.

"you'll never get away with this," you said to him. lucas flashed you an adorable smile.

the flower fell to the floor and lucas reached out for you. you struggled against his grip, fighting back as much as you could. unfortunately, his built was bigger and stronger. the next thing you felt was a sharp pain to your side before falling into his arms.

"i already did. and now you're all mine."
