Bad Girl's Nerd

Chapter 53: "Nothing Says 'ily' Like A Sexy Red Thong"

Luke's POV:-

Natalia.

The one name that does weird things to my heart. It seldom leaves my brain. She's always on my mind. And I want her around me all the time, which itself is a new thing.

Like I stress often, I am the guy, who needs his space. With her, it's just the opposite. My pulse shoots up, and I feel paralyzed when I see her. My fucking cock swells, at the sound of her voice. The feelings have grown too intense, that even I feel a little terrified sometimes. And these days, I am constantly surprised at myself. The way I lose control around her. 

Like that time, she came over to apologize. That day, I felt my heart breaking, at the thought, of not having my sister around. To dull that ache, I had to drink. I downed two shots of Vodka, that was hidden in my room. Though I had cleaned up immediately, cause mom was in the house. I was careful enough to not overdo it, but I had a slight kick.

Lia kissing me, had lit up my fused out brain and I just went for it. Using enormous strength I had stopped her that day, because I knew the moment she touched me, I will be a goner.

I have known for a long time, that I love her. And weirdly, when I first acknowledged the fact, it felt normal. No surprise or shock. Maybe a little worry over, how she'll react. Okay a lot of worry, over how she'll react. In fact, the thought flipped me to such extents, that I had to rush to my friends for help. I remember that day exactly.

[*couple of days ago* (because author's too lazy to calculate exact dates) ]

"Guys I need your help," I say, rubbing my chin. They all were sitting in Ian's kitchen. 

When they  first called me to hang out, I couldn't go because, dad had taken me to some event from his office. Some girls there, tried to talk to me. Dad introduced me, to his business partners. And all I could think of, was Lia. What would she do? Should I tell her? Am I going too fast for her? Frustrated, that she might not feel the same way, I had left the party. My dad was not pleased, but he couldn't say anything in front of his colleagues. But I didn't care. I had taken a cab, and I was going to Lia's place, but at the last moment, changed my mind, and ended up at Ian's doorsteps. 

"What happened? You were trying wedding suits, you found one you like, but you don't like the color?" Max asks. Since it was a formal event, I had to wear a formal outfit.

"No," I mutter, shrugging off the jacket, and hanging it on a chair. "No, that's not it," I clench my jaws, folding my sleeves, feeling stuffed.

"The pants are too tight, and you don't wanna flash a boner in church?" Ian tries.

"What? No," I mumble, slumping into a chair, rubbing my head. "Dude, seriously?" Alex scolds. 

"Hey!" Ian defends. "We all know, he'll get his ding dong, standing up and doing sing song, the moment he sees Lia in a wedding dress."

"Ian, shut the fuck up... Luke, are you okay?" Dylan asks laughing. 

"Do I look okay?" I snap angrily, folding my hands on the dining table. "Oi, calm down," Max says, passing me a coke. 

"Did you finally realize your love for Lia?" Alex asks, sliding into a chair next to me. I put down the drink, and watch him in disbelief.

"How do you guys know everything?" I ask baffled.

"Oh please," Ian scoffs. "Have you seen the way, you look at each other? Even I feel shy!"

"Yeah, it was sort of a given," Dylan shrugs.

"Wait, wait," I interrupt. "You said each other?" I ask Ian. "You don't mean that.."
