Gambit (Obsessions in Overdrive #2)

Four | 4u

I know exactly why I am going over there. He wants to apologize. Not this time though, this time I'm breaking up with him. It's final.

However, I am happy that Luke offered to walk me there. It is his apartment, but he could have stayed longer with Atlas and Dylan. He didn't have to do this - he is such a sweetheart.

"Are you going to forgive him?" My attention turns to Luke. His eyes are bright from the street lights and his hair is hardly seen because his hood is always on.

"No way." I smile, looking towards him, but he is already staring at me. He gazes down with an excited look in his eyes like he'd just been watching something so interesting.

Something swells in my chest, and all of a sudden, I can barely catch my breath. Street lights present a shine above his head and then dim, his eyes barely visible, but he's still watching me. God, I just want to wrap myself around him and never let go.

His eyes are like maple syrup. Warm and sweet. "Did anyone mention how lovely your eyes are?" I ask him with a smile on my face.

Even though it is dark I can see him slightly blushing. He shakes his head and his lips form a smirk. "Well, people should, smuk. (Beautiful)"

I watch as his eyebrows furrow and his face full of shock. "Did you just-" he stops in his tracks. "What?"

I have a smirk on my face as I continue to walk away. "Indra, don't walk away. It is not safe. You speak another language?" He starts to walk towards me trying to catch up. "Since when do you speak... um-"

"Danish, it's my first language." He is still in shock. I swear I have spoken Danish in front of him before.

"I was not aware that you knew Danish. Let alone it is your first language." I giggle more as I watch the expression on his face. It's cute.

We reach the apartment door and my laughter is cut off. "Okay, you go in first. I will walk in after a couple of minutes to make it seem like you came on your own because if he finds out I walked you here - he is going to have a problem." Luke orders me. I nod at him and I knock on the door before he dashes for the stairs.

He is pretty far from the door. I can see him, but from where Ethan will be looking he is seamless.

The door shortly opens and Ethan hugs me. I let out a little gasp at his sudden movements. "Thank god you're here."

"Hey, Ethan." He shortly pulls away. "Come in. I made you something." My eyes go wide since he's never made m something before. He shuts the door behind me and pulls me to the kitchen.

The front door shortly opens and Luke walks in. He winks at me as if we have a secret. We do, but that's not the point. "She's here." He groans. "Again!" Dang, way to hurt my feelings. "Hi, Luke."

Someone get me my Oscar Award for the best actress of the year! And get Luke one too!

"Here you go!" Ethan hands me a plate with two brownies on it topped with chocolate drizzled all over it.
