Secrecy from the Fans - Luke Brooks

Intrusions

Rachel’s POV

Hey babe? Hey babe?! Are you serious Luke you are going to let me get off being the shittiest girlfriend that easy, seriously? I push him of me and he scrunches his face at me in confusion.

“What’s the matter, Rach?”

“Aren’t you the tiniest bit mad?” I question him through clenched jaws, I was mad he wasn’t mad. He should be, he should be yelling and screaming at me.

He sighs, “Why should I be mad at you? I could never stay mad at you!” he says going to cup my face.

I pull back, “Luke, argh” I grunt in frustration, and walk over to the bed and turn around and screech at him. “Tell me stuff, tell me what you feel, tell me what you want me to do. Tell me off for being a bitch. Just tell me!” I say slouching down in front of the bed and cuddle my legs in front of me. I feel a tear slip down my cheek.

Luke stands there dazed; he doesn’t know what to do. He softly comes over and sits beside me. “Rachy,” he coos, “come here.” He opens his arms out motioning me to sit in his lap. I resist pouting at him, I’m angry but I don’t know why. He opens his arms wider and pouts back at him with sad eyes so I quietly sit in his lap and put my head into his chest.

“How about you tell me what’s the matter and what you want, before I tell you” he says as he strokes the back of my head soothingly. I look up at him and he was smiling, why is he so nice when I’m so mean I don’t understand. I feel another tear run down my cheek and he quickly catches it with his thumb before it falls.

I’m not sure if it runs in the Brooks brothers genes but they seemed to know when to shut up and listens because I told Luke absolutely everything that I had told Beau earlier before. I told him how I didn’t like about the fans knowing about ‘us’, and how he needed to tell me what he felt. Gina was one hundred and ten percent right about her boys as to what she was talking about how sweet they were. The whole time I was talking to him for he just sat there and nodded and kept rubbing soothing motions on my back. I wouldn’t have a clue how long I had spoken for, it could have been ten minutes or ten hours but by the looks of the sunset out the window of the hotel it must’ve been a while.  I glance again outside the window to see some fans out on the street waiting for them. I wasn’t sure if Luke knew that Beau had gone against his will and posted the address of the hotel on twitter. Ooops.

Luke cuddled me into his chest once again and I inhaled his usual smell. I sighed loving the feeling that all I was suppressing was off my chest now. Why hadn’t I done this before? Luke cleared his throat, which deterred me from my thoughts, and I look up at his brown eyes. He looked deep in thought on what he was about to say next which made my stomach do a cartwheel.

He finally spoke, ‘Rach’

“Mmm?” I say quietly, not wanting this now peaceful moment to be over.

Luke’ POV

“Mmm?” she says looking up at me, her eyes were still red from her tears and her face still flustered from how angry she had gotten. She really could get angry at me sometimes, but I’m Luke Brooks… I’m amazed we are still together. I take a deep breath and I could feel my stomach do a flip and my mouth go dry. I hated the way she made me feel sometimes by the simple things she did or just thinking about her, but she was the only person that made me feel like that. It’s time to tell her, Luke. It’s time to tell her!
