Diamond in the Rough

Chapter Four

Eleanor

"Woah calm down, don't make your headache worse with all that screaming." Luke said, holding up his hand to calm me while chuckling slightly as I still looked at him, completely frozen and my eyes wide with shock. "Did we have sex?!" I asked in disbelief and he chuckled while nodding, motioning down to our naked bodies under the sheets. "Erm yeah, kind of." He laughed and I softly smacked his arm, groaning in despair. "It's not funny! I don't usually do this." I said, my face heating up from embarrassment and Luke shrugged, giving me a soft smile. "Neither do I, but we were pretty drunk and we seem to have a good time last night." He said, trying to reassure me and I nodded, "yeah, I suppose we did." I said softly while clutching the sheets tightly.

"You do remember my name though right?" He joked, his tongue sticking out slightly as he giggled and I scoffed at him, rolling my eyes. "Yes I remember your name Luke Hale." I sarcastically told him which caused him to chuckle as he nodded, "Well I remember yours too Eleanor Reed and that you are a trained counsellor at a drug rehabilitation centre." He smiled proudly as I sat there wide eyed in surprise. Oh god I don't remember talking about that with him, how wasted was I last night? Well clearly enough to fuck a guy I just met. 

"You're one of those cyber security thingies right? A erm.......networker right?" I said, clicking my fingers together as I pinched the bridge of my nose trying to remember, but it was just giving me an even bigger headache. Luke chuckled, shaking his head as he saved me the pain of thinking, "I'm a cyber security analysts." He said while smirking and I nodded, suddenly remembering. "Oh yeah! Sorry, I had a lot to drink last night." I said bashfully and he nodded while laughing softly, "It's okay, everyone get's the two mixed up, believe me. I'll go get you some coffee and aspirin, you can take a shower if you want, it's down the hall and to your left." He told me and I nodded in thanks as he quickly put on his underwear and left the room, leaving me alone for the moment. 

'God I forgot how hot he looked completely naked' I though, softly biting my lip but then mentally smacked myself to stop being so perverted and checked my phone, frowning when I didn't see a text from Lyla. I quickly sent her one to let her know I was at Luke's and I was safe, but I didn't see any text bubbles pop up after a moment, so I made the assumption she was still asleep and made my way to the shower. I turned on the hot water and relaxed under the hot spirts of the water, soothing my aching muscles and my head, which was still throbbing. I jumped out of the shower and wrapped a fluffy towel around me, checking my phone but still no sign of Lyla. I started to worry slightly. I rang her phone as it dialled, 'hey it's Lyla, leave a message after the BEEP!' I heard Lyla's chirpy voice ring through the phone and I sighed. I quickly got dry, walking back to the bedroom where I put on a spare pair of fresh underwear and bra in my bag along with a pair of jeans and an old t shirt. 

They are handy in a crisis. Trust me. 

I walked down the hallway, the smell of bacon made my mouth water as I saw Luke standing in the kitchen, wearing a t shirt while flipping rashes of bacon. He saw me and smiled. "Hey, I fixed you something to eat. Drink some coffee and have some tablets, they'll make you feel better." He told me and I smiled slightly over the kind act as I sat down at the dining table. "Thank you." I said honestly and he smiled in return, sipping my coffee which felt so nice and downing the tablets, hoping they'll soothe my head. He placed in front of me two rashes of bacon and some scrambled eggs, "thank you Luke, they smell nice." I told him as he sat in front of me, clutching his mug and setting down a plate for himself. "Well, I'm no Gordon Ramsay but it'll do." He chuckled and I playfully scoffed, "You mean you won't call me an idiot sandwich?" I joked and he laughed while shaking his head, "absolutely not, because I don't think you are one." He winked at me which caused me to look down bashfully, damnit it Eleanor you look like a silly school girl!
