I opened my eyes with a smile my inspiration and creative j My brows furrowed in concentration as sketched down the ideas I was getting. In between, I would grab my bottle of water and take a refreshing sip then I would stretch my arm forward and hold out the design i had sketched on the paper before me and squint at what I had created.

As usual, they looked intentional, not as if I had just quickly scribbled some cheap design on paper.

By the time I got out of my creative world and glanced around me, it was already getting dark and there were now very few people around. I packed up, carefully arranging my used sketch papers in my backpack. I placed it beside me then I picked up my bottle and took another swig from it and placed it on the other side of me.

I removed my shoes and wiggled my toes, a break from the confines of the sneakers then I put them back on and tied the ropes. I stood up and stretched my limbs, letting out a content sigh.

I turned to carry my backpack and head home but was taken aback to see the seat empty, save for my bottle of water. Confused, I looked up and my eyes bulged when I saw someone briskly walk away with my bag.

“Damned thief!” I screamed, “Give back my bag!” I grabbed my bottle and immediately sprinted after him when he picked a race on hearing my shout. Thank God for the sneakers I had chosen to wear, I was quickly closing in on him. “Stop right there, you thief!”

Suddenly, I heard a honk as a sports car stopped beside me. I frowned at it as the tinted window rolled down. I raised my brows as Luigi’s face came to view. He flashed me a smile and winked, “Get in, I’ll help you chase the thief.”

I briefly wondered how he knew I was chasing a thief but it didn’t matter. Without hesitation, I rushed forward and opened the back door. I let out a yelp as I turned after closing the car door behind me. There was someone else in the car but I wouldn’t be staring in awe and shock if it was some random stranger I had never seen before.

Right beside me on the car seat was the least man I expected to see Luigi hanging out with. There was a dazzling smile on his lips as he looked back.

at me.

I blinked and pulled myself out of my shocked state. “Lucas…” I breathed.

What was he doing here? And why was he with Luig…

My thoughts trailed off as everything began to click together. My eyes widened as my gaze flitted between Luigi and Lucas. I felt like I had just completed a tasking puzzle.
