TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS

I moved to LA at the beginning of the year because I had a job opportunity and as with the pandemic situation the university classes being online there was no reason not to accept this new opportunity.

At the beginning it was a bit difficult because I didn't know anyone and as I'm a bit shy I always have a hard time meeting new people, but this is a great opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and "expose" myself a bit to the world. (Am I right or am I right?!)

As I was saying, my routine was a bit boring and lonely until the day I met him. I stopped at a cafe after work because it was very hot and I wanted to buy a refreshment. He was behind me in line and when I turned around, being the clumsy person that I am, I bumped into him and my drink got all over his tshirt.

I panicked, apologized a thousand times, said I'd buy him his coffee as an apology, but he just smiled, said it was okay and everything was fine, we ended up chatting for hours, we exchanged phone numbers, we became friends. He introduced me to all of his friends and he became part of my routine.

It's been five months now since I met him, and we've created this strong friendship, we hangout almost everyday, and it's funny because with him I feel like I can let down my guard, be honest and talk about anything... As you may have noticed by now, I think my feelings for him go beyond friendship. The problem is that he's not just a simple guy, he's one of the biggest tiktokers and influencers in the world... Yup, I'm talking about Luke, Luke Sims.

Luke has thousands of followers, female fans who are beautiful always following him, he is always invited to parties and events... And I am... me, a simple and shy girl who prefers to stay at home to go out to parties. There's no way I won't get hurt if I try to do something about my feelings for Luke . We are just from two different worlds.

So for the last few days I've been keeping some distance and I think Luke has noticed. I'm in the compound house with the twins, we're hanging out on the couch having a girl's talk (as usual), when Luke comes into the living room and sits next to me, asking "Y/N can we talk?" I turn to him "yes sure, what's up?", "Can we go somewhere quieter?" I don't know if it's just me but he looks nervous so I just nod my head and follow him into his room.

Luke sits on the bed and motions for me to sit beside him, but as I'm getting nervous about the situation and want to keep my distance, I sit in the chair. "Hey, what's up?" I ask.

LUKE: "Is everything okay with you?"

Y/N: "Yes, why"

LUKE: "The last few days you've been distant, did I do anything that made you uncomfortable?"

Y/N: "No, nothing's happening, it's just your impression", I lie shamelessly.

LUKE: "I know you, I know you're lying, please tell me what's going on?"

Y/N: "Luke, nothing's wrong, forget it"

Right now I'm super frustrated and anxious because I know if he keeps pushing me I'll end up talking too much and ruin our friendship. That's why I decide to leave. I give him a brief smile and get up to leave, but just as I'm about to leave the room he grabs my wrist and makes me turn to face him.

"Y/N please talk to me" he begs, but he's so, so close to me that I can't even think anymore I just stare into his eyes and his lips. I know I've been looking for too long and I also know Luke has figured it out, but I swear I can't stop. And that's when Luke ends the distance between us and kisses me.

For a moment I'm in shock at his action but I end up kissing him back entwining my arms around his neck as his hands move down to my waist. It was the most intense kiss ever, when we pull back to get some air, I see that Luke is smiling. But when he notices I pull away from him and avoid his gaze...

But when he notices I pull away from him and avoid his gaze...

I try to move quickly away from him to leave the room because I need to breathe and it seems like when he's around I can't. But he follows me closely into the garden and sits right beside me on the grass.

LUKE: "Sorry I shouldn't have kissed you, I know I crossed the line, sorry"

I don't say anything.

LUKE: "Please Y/N say something."

Y / N: "That shouldn't have happened" I say simply, and when I look at him I can see the sadness and disappointment in his eyes.

LUKE: "I know it shouldn't, but I can't ignore my feelings anymore. Y/N I need to tell you something"

Y/N: "Don't say it, it's not worth it it will only ruin our friendship" I know I'm being cold and he doesn't deserve it, but I just don't want to get hurt.

LUKE: "I like you a lot more than as a friend, and from the way you've kissed me I know you feel something for me too," he says hopefully.

Y/N: "Luke we'll never result we're from two completely different worlds"

LUKE: "It doesn't invalidate what we feel for each other, plus people say that opposites attract each other" as I don't respond he continues "Y/N I've never felt this for anyone, you understand me, you support me, when you're by my side I feel like I'm the luckiest person in the world, and when you're not around the only thing I can think about is how I wish you were here" he says all at once.

Y/N: "Luke will never work you have thousands of girls after you who can offer you so much more than I can"

LUKE: "I don't care about them," he replies quickly.

Y/N: "But you'll care it when you go to a party and I can't go because I have a job, or just because I don't even like parties, and you'll find someone who gives you the attention you deserve, and I'll get hurt, once more"

Luke turns to me and holds my hands, looks me in the eye and says "I promise I'll do everything to try not to hurt you, please give me a chance. Y/N do you want to be my girlfriend?"

I wasn't expecting this question, of course I do, he's perfect, but I'm scared, but he's so important to me, but we're so different... I must have been debating the situation for so long that I forgot that Luke was here in front of me, and when I look at him I see that the hope is fading from his gaze and he starts to let go of my hands to walk away, and that's when without thinking twice I grab him and kiss him. When we break the kiss we're both smiling like idiots and I say "Sure, sure I want to be yours" Luke gets up, picks me up and twirls around the garden.

We spend the rest of the day cuddling and I already feel like I belong in his arms. My doubts haven't disappeared but what I feel for him is so much stronger that the only thing I can do is pray that the differences in our worlds don't drive us apart.
