Lucas continued his rant, his ire rising steadily the entire time. "I have a fiancee and we're supposed to get married soon, and we've been together for three years! Somehow, that’s no match for the three months I’ve met you, and now, I’m going to be scum! F*ck! What is it about you that draws me to you, that I’d fall so hard for you?!"
He was blaming Cordy for everything, even though she was always so harsh to him and never tried to seduce him—ever.
Yet he fell for her, anyway.
Was he some sort of masochist?!
"Say something!" he snarled furiously, feeling a little creeped out as Cordy continued to gape at him.
Cordy came to her senses, since her mind was still processing whether Lucas was John Levine.
Everything he said never crossed her mind, and it was certainly not the fact that he was engaged.
"Say what?" she asked blankly.
Lucas almost had a heart attack.
She managed to bewitch him after coming over to seduce him, and now, she wasn’t going to claim responsibility?!
"Tell me that you love me!" he growled through his teeth, furious and seething with rage.
Those who did not know better would think that he was saying "I'll kill you!"
He was impossible.
Cordy pursed her lips, thinking to herself that she loved John Levine and not Lucas.
It was just a coincidence that there was a chance Lucas might actually be John.
"So you were using me like a tool, weren't you?" Lucas growled, glaring at her and actually considering murder as an option.
It wasn’t easy for her to admit his true feelings and to decide to be with her, even if he had to shoulder the moral responsibility.
Yet she was already dumping him?!
"Use you for what?" Cordy was perplexed.
