Once

Chapter 10

"Drink?" Meg offers me. I know I shouldn't, I've only drank two times before this because I was so nervous it would make me end up like James. Dead.

"Why not" I say. If Luke is going to keep up this asshole act all night, I'll need to be drunk to mask the pain I wish I wasn't feeling.

"Alright Kylie!" She cheers. "What will it be?"

"Just a coke and rum, thanks" I order. Megan hands me my drink and I go back to sit on the couch. I down my drink in just a few minutes and excuse myself to get another.

When I return, my spot has been taken by the skank that Luke just took to the bedroom. I'm shocked by my negative thoughts towards her, I'm sure she's nice, and even though casual sex isn't my thing, I shouldn't judge her for it. I now realize the girl isn't my problem, it's the fact that she's with Luke.

I realize that I hate seeing Luke with other girls. I hate that he made me feel this way about him so quickly. I hate that he doesn't feel the same way about me. He tried to screw with my head and damn, did it work.

My eyes search the room for an empty seat but it seems that the only open spot is sandwiched between Luke and Michael. I decide to go for it, it's not Luke's house and I can sit wherever I please. I smile at Michael when I sit down and don't acknowledge Luke in any way.

Just as I turn to Michael to make a conversation, Luke tugs my sleeve in attempt to get my attention. Of course I can't resist him, so turn to look at his gorgeous face.

"Why are you mad at me?" he asks. I look at him, stunned and at loss for words. Did he seriously just say that? He should have figured it out by now.

"You can't be serious" I laugh, but when I look into his eyes, I can see that he is dead serious. "Wow" I laugh again. Guys really are stupid.

"Follow me." He demands. What? I decide to obey him and I follow him into what appears to be the dining room. Its empty.

"Okay. Talk." He orders.

"Why are you being like this!?" I nearly yell.

"Like what?"

"Like a man-whore! Not to mention you completely ignored me and then you acted as if you didn't even know my name!" I throw y hands up in frustration. He stares at me, probably thinking up a comeback.

"So what? Are you jealous of all the girls I fucked tonight?" He asks, he's slightly angry now.

"No." Yes.

"Do you have feelings for me? Is that it?"

"No." I lie again.

"Jesus Kylie, what is it then?"

"Oh so you're back to calling me by my real name and acting like you actually give a shit about me now? You're just so confusing, I never know what to expect from you. I need to know were we stand, relationship-wise. Are we friends? Are we not? Luke, I need to kn-" I'm cut off by his soft lips pressing hard onto my mouth. I let him in as I open my mouth, our tongues grazing each other.

Not how I was expecting this to go, in fact, this was even better than I had dreamed.
