Shake It For Me Luke- Luke Bryan Love Story

Chapter 18: To the Moon and Back

Nicole's POV: 

I sit there on the floor next to Luke's bed, my knees tucked into my chest as I continuously bawl my eyes out. How could Luke think I would hurt him like that? Does he really think I like Jon more than I like him? Hell, I moved to a different state for him! Just as I took a deep breath, I heard a knock on the door. I looked up hoping to see Luke, but instead, there stood Jon. "Can I come in Nicole?" Jon asked as he staying in the doorway. I just rolled my eyes and scooted my knees closer to my chest. Jon came in and closed the door and sat next to me with a bit of space in between. Jon sighed, "Nicole this is all my fault, I'm so sorry." Jon said as he looked at me with his sad puppy dog eyes. "Jon, what the hell were you thinking?!" I asked still crying. Jon put his face in his hands. "I'm jealous of what you and Luke have okay! We never had that spark that ya'll had. I just had to see if I even felt a spark between us like we did way back when." Jon said as he began to sniffle. "Well because of the little stunt you pulled, you will probably have nothing to be jealous about after tonight." I said as I got up and went to grab a makeup remover and started to remove my running mascara. "Let me go talk to him, it's the least I can do!" Jon said as he slowly stood up. I turned around and looked at Jon. "I don't think there is anything either of us can say to him that he will believe after that Jon." I said as i stepped a little closer to him. "I'm getting tired, please just leave me alone for tonight, we'll talk about this tomorrow." I said as I started to climb into bed and laid on my side and faced my back towards him. "Good night Nicole. I'll fix this." Jon said as he walked out and quietly shut the door behind him. As soon as he left I began to quietly bawl my eyes out again and cuddled a pillow tightly. 

Jon's POV: 

As I closed Nicole's door behind me, I took a deep breath and just stood at her door. Why did I do that to my best friend Luke? I would never want to hurt him! I'm so happy he finally has someone as special as Nicole and seeing him smile. I started to walk down the stairs to see the couch empty. I looked to my right and I saw Luke in the kitchen rustling through the alcohol cabinet. "Can't sleep?" I said as I stood on the other side of the bar in case Luke wanted to knock me out. Luke looked at me and just glared, said nothing. He went outside with his alcohol, so I followed him. "Luke, what you saw back there was 100% me! I was just jealous of what you and Nicole have and I knew the first time I met her, I felt a special spark between us, so my dumb ass decided to see if that spark was still there. Nicole had nothing to do with it man. I can tell she loves the crap out of you man." I said as I stood in the doorway. Luke just took a swig of his alcohol and continued to stare out into the night. I sighed, "Luke, don't do this to Nicole man. Don't throw something so special away because your friend decided to do something stupid. I haven't seen you this happy with someone in a long time. I can tell that what ya'll have is something definitely special. She only has feelings for you man, I can see that now." I said as i put my hands in my back pockets. "I'm going to go ahead and head out, the Uber is waiting at the gate, I know I have done enough here. But please, be mad at me, not Nicole." I said as I grabbed my cowboy hat off of the table and started walking to the gate. 

Luke's POV: 

I continued to take swigs of my alcohol as I watched Jon walk to the gate where his Uber was waiting for him. But Jon was right, I shouldn't be mad at Nicole. The least I can do is go inside and talk to her and get her side of it all. After all, she is my girl and I need to believe in her. I downed what little bit of alcohol I had left in my glass and headed inside. 

I stopped at the bottom of the stairs looking up at my bedroom door, where Nicole was in by herself. Jon's right, I love this woman so much! I started taking two steps at a time. As I reached my bedroom door, as I was about to knock, I could hear Nicole inside quietly crying and talking to herself. I quietly opened my door a little just so I could hear her a bit better. "Dear Lord, please help me! I love this man with all my heart! If I didn't I wouldn't have packed up my whole life to move to a whole different state all by myself with no family if I didn't love someone as much as I love Luke. I know you have a reason for everything that happens, and I know you have a reason for the people who come and go in all of our lives, but Luke is special. I may have screwed up, but the one thing I have done right is love and support this amazing man Lord." Nicole said as she began to cry again. I stood there in the doorway, with tears in my eyes. Nicole actually loved me. Of course she does! She gave up so much to be here with me! I opened the door and ran to Nicole. She turned around and looked at me as tears were still falling from her eyes. I cupped her adorable face into my hands and smashed my lips onto hers. Then that's when I felt it, the spark. Now I know Jon knew she loved me, because I can feel it. I see it. I know it in my heart. I pulled away slowly and looked down to see her looking up into my eyes. "Nicole, I'm so sorry I didn't listen to you or believe in my own girlfriend. I love you." I said as I felt a tear fall onto my cheek. Nicole gasped and wrapped her arms around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her and held her close. We were meant to be. We are something special. 

Nicole's POV: 

I couldn't believe he told me the three words, 'I love you' he told me he loved me! Is this real? I pulled away from the hug and looked up into his wonderful dark brown eyes. "What made you come in here tonight? Aren't you mad at me?" I asked as I began to rub my thumb onto his hand. Luke smirked, "Jon told me what he did was just him under the influence of alcohol. That you cared about me, not him." Luke said as he brushed a small piece of hair that was in my face behind my ear. I sniffled, "What me and Jon had a few years ago was a fling. It meant nothing now. Plus, I would never hurt you! I love you Luke." I said as more tears grew in my eyes. Luke smiled, "I love you too Nicole!" Luke said as he pulled me closer and we went into a passionate kiss. After a little make out session, we decided it was late. Luke went to the bed and fixed it up. He took off his shirt and got into his plaid pajama pants and patted a spot next to him in bed for me. I smiled and climbed into bed and rested my head on Luke's chest. This is all I wanted, just to be happy with a man who loves me for me. Luke kissed the top of my head and turned on the TV and turned the volume down low. I quickly passed out in his arms as I always do. Luke fell asleep not too far behind me, still holding me in his arms. This is where I needed to be. This is where I belonged. In Luke's arms.
