'Damn, girl! I'm your lucky charm!'

Luke exclaims and pats my shoulder after I told him what happened after he ditched me last Friday night.

'Haha, you're more like my bad juju.' I shoot him a deadly look, 'Seriously, you should've taken me with you! I was soooo drunk and a walking embarrassment!'

After parting with Danielle last night, I tried hard and successfully retrieved more memories...and I really wanted to bury myself.

I was dancing and kissing someone called 'Sam-Sam' while seemingly on the call with Danielle.

Oh, and I even clung to Danielle like a monkey. Fantastic.

'And so you can be my embarrassment? Hell no!' He jokes, 'Okay, I swear I'd keep an eye on you next time you want to get drunk. I'm just glad it turned out well for you.'

He wavers his brows and asks excitedly, 'So, what are you gonna do next? You were already halfway into her pants, might as well go through with it.'

'Luke!' I hiss at him, feeling my face burning. I quickly look around the diner, thankfully, no one seems to hear him.

'What? It's the truth! You're not gonna just stay there and do nothing, are you?'

'I-I don't know. I mean, she's so private, and she's finally opening up a little to me...I don't want to ruin that.' I twirl the straw in my milkshake, feeling conflicted.

I do want us to be closer...mentally and physically. But, is she ready?

'You won't! I can't believe I'm saying this...' He runs his hand through his cream-styled hair, 'I actually looked up the whole "twin flame" thing, you can't mess up a twin flame connection, they say.'

I chuckle at his seriousness, 'Alright, Spiritual Master, tell me what I should do next?'

'I already told you, get her in bed with you.' He smirks brightly.

I blush at the thought of it, 'Oh, so, I should just go up to her and ask her out?'

'Yes! It's that simple!' He rolls his eyes dramatically. 'Ask her to dinner, or just Netflix and chill like you did with Meghan.'

'Right, but Meghan's original words were actually "come check out my popcorn machine". Should I buy one then?'

'Oh my god.' Luke looks at me with concerns, 'How did you even make them like you? You're such a rock-head.'

'Thanks?' I roll my eyes.

'Seriously, bring your top game, bitch!' He hits me with a light punch this time. 'I expect to hear some good news next weekend.'

'No, that's too fast.' I shake my head unconfidently.

'Come on, you can do it.' He squeezes my shoulders gently, 'I believe in you.'

I glance at him and sigh, 'I'll try.'

I'd like to drink some shots before asking her, but last time, alcohol did me no good...so, I guess I'll have to ask her soberly after work.

Danielle's POV:

I walk into the lobster restaurant and find Jane sitting at a tall table.

As soon as she meets my gaze, she starts waving like a drunk-chick. I smile at her silliness.

'Hey! I'm so glad you can come! I've been dying to try the lobsters here!' Jane says agitatedly. 'It's my first time in London, actually.'
