NEEDING CLOSURE

*

Luke has been very proud. He kept his word to himself. He hasn't seen or talked to Alexis in a month. The thing that keeps him awake at night is the thought of her, though. 

But he hasn't talked to her. It's a small win.

He hasn't been able to think about something or someone else. The worst part? He has had sex with three girls in the past month and has only been able to cum with the thought of Alexis. He's wondering if she's moved on. 

Although, he hates the thought of her having sex with someone else. Would she have a one-night stand? He feels his body tense with the idea. He knows how her body reacts. He knows what makes her meowl, whimper, or scream his name. Maybe she has needed a rebound?

"You are such a hypocrite," Bea laughs at the blonde. "You sleep with people, and so can she." Bea has been coming over a lot. Ashton has been too, but he wants things with Ashton to stay neutral. They talk about it but barely. Luke has figured out the entire story, though. 

Alexis was wrong, but she never wanted the bet in the first place. The first thing she said was that it's wrong to hurt something like that. 

"I don't want her to sleep with anyone else," Luke tells Bea. 

"How do you think she feels if she knows that you'd been sleeping with half the city?" Luke rolls his eyes. Bea can overreact and exaggerate, but he knows she has a point. It's not like Alexis is going to find out, though. He's pretty sure that the girl blocked him. Little does he know she just hasn't been able to find a good profile picture. She got tired of the old one. "Don't you need to talk to her to find closure?" She asks Luke. 

"I don't need closure. I know everything I need to know," Bea rolls her eyes. "There's nothing she might add that makes me want her again. We are over, and it'll always be that way. We ended it, and it's for the better. You know, forgiving isn't forgetting. She broke my trust." 

"If you don't mind me, I have a date with August," Bea smiles. Luke squints his eyes at the girl standing in front of him. "Yes, they also saw I needed a break from you," she smiles sweetly. "Also, talk to her!" Bea yells from the hallway. Within five seconds, her head pops up again. "You keep on talking about her in such a way that I know you're still in love with her." 

"Get lost," Luke mumbles. 

Luke knows deep down Bea is right. Besides, Bea has far more knowledge about relationships. He can't help but hate the girl so much. She knew how much it meant to Luke to say those three loaded words. Yet, she made him say it and ran with it. 

He can't seem to get over it. It's too much, but Bea and Ashton are right. They need to talk. Luke doesn't want Alexis to move on. He grabs his phone and goes to the chat with her. Yet, he swipes it away immediately. She usually has a profile picture, and it's gone. So yes, that makes him think she blocked him. 

However, Ashton and Alexis are baking together. She has started to work on herself a little. She works on herself to get over the one person she ever truly loved. So yes, she bakes now. She doesn't know how because if she is in the kitchen, she will likely burn something. 

"No, no, no!" Ashton says immediately when she wants to put the mixer on. There's no milk over the flour yet, so if she pushes the button, it will result in a floury face. "You, Alexis Finley, are dangerous," Ashton says, grabbing the mixer from the girl. Alexis giggles and steps aside. Ashton is doing his things, and Alexis is just watching. 

"Can I do something?" Alexis asks the broad guy. He turns around to look at her and tells her what to do. So much for cupcakes... "Is he still mad?" Alexis asks.
