War Of Love ~ Luke Brooks

Chapter 26.

Shannon's POV

After Kate had left I had another cry. I don't even know why I was so upset. I didn't like Daniel in that way, but I wasn't used to being led on. I couldn't stop thinking about Luke. Everything simple detail about him. Like the freckle on his nose or his lip piercing. Or the way he's eyes glistened when he laughed. What if I do like him? I mean I don't know.

A knock on the door interrupted me from my thoughts. I get up and open it, I am face to face with Luke. He had a bag in his hand and looked nervous.

"What do you want?" I sighed.

"I heard about Daniel so I got you IceCream " he grinned cheesily.

"Come in" I say as I closed the door behind him. I couldn't tell him to go away, after he came all this way.

"What movie shall we watch?" He asked sitting on the sofa.

"Luke"

"Yup " he replied popping the P.

"We need to talk about tge other day" I informed him.

"I know" he sighed heavily, running a hand through his curly hair.

"Look I'm sorry I acted the way I did, I shouldn't have yelled, especially after you planned that nice day for us" I admitted sitting down on the couch.

"I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have called you bitch, I was just mad that I finally got the chance to kiss you and you flipped"

"Finally " I say farrowing my eyebrows together.

"Ever since that day at the mall I wanted to as you out! Daniel didn't know. When you and Kelsie went to some shop he told me he was asking you out, so I only asked Kelsie out to make you jealous" Luke said looking at the ground. I didn't know what to say at first. I mean it's not everyday an attractive guy admits his feeling for you. Wait did I seriously call him attractive, well he is but.

"Luke dating another girl wouldn't make me jealous " I replied, even though him and Kelsie did sort of make me jealous, but I wasn't going to tell him that.

"I know, I'm sorry for everything I done"

"Don't apologise, I find it kind of cute. No guy has done such nice things for me" I admitted, putting a piece of hair behind my ear.

Luke hesitated for a second before pulling me into his arms. I felt protected, I felt loved. I inhaled his scent, it was so amazing. We held our embrace for a couple of minutes before I pulled out.

"Would it be totally ludicrous if I kissed you right now?" He asked, smiling a bit.

"Nope, I'll kiss back this time" I smiled looking into those deep brown eyes. Have I finally realised I have feelings for Luke?

When he's soft lips touched mine I knew the answer. The kiss was amazing, perfect to be exact. Mine and Daniel's kisses weren't as good, I didn't think about anyone else, all I thought about Luke.

His hands were cupping my cheeks and mine were tangled around his neck. We felt like the only people in the world right now. The kiss only lasted about a minute but it was the best one I've had. It felt so different from when he kissed me the other day,but in a good way.

When we pulled away I just smiled. It was the perfect moment, and no one could ruin it.

"Luke I think I like you" I blurted out.

Never in a million years would I thought to have said that to him. I hated him when we met and we had so many arguments, but people grow on eachother. Luke has grown on me.

"I like you, I know you're probably hurting over Daniel but Shan I'll wait, heck I'll even fly to Ireland just to visit you" Luke replied, it honestly made me melt.

"Luke I don't know what to say"

"Don't speak just listen" he said quitely. "When I first laid eyes on you I thought you were some creepy girl. I was so rude, I don't even know why, after you both left the guys yelled at me for being a jerk. Then when you came over I stayed in my room for most of it, then when all the shit went down I wanted to hit you so bad, you annoyed me so much. But that day at the mall was when I finally realised how pretty you were, I started talking to Kelsie and she told me about something funny you had told her earlier so I laughed at your stupidity which I found adrobale. This sounds so cliché but if I hadn't of met you I'd still be that jerk who pisses everyone off and who breaks shit, I'm glad that you've changed me. Everytime I was mad I'd think about what you'd do or I'd think about your smile and that calmed me. I've only known you for a short period of time but I want you in my life"

I was crying at the end of that. Not sobbing but I shed a couple of tears. No one has said such heartfelt and meaningful things to me, I would have never expected Luke to be the one saying that to me. It was so cute, he just admitted that I was the one who made him changed. Luke pulled me into his arms and rocked our bodies back and forth.

"Luke, thank you so much. I'm honestly stuck for words. I'm glad to have met you" I sobbed into his chest.

"Can I take you on a date, and maybe this time we won't flip out on eachother? " Luke asked, after a short silence.

"Certainly " I beamed pulling out of his hug.

"Let's watch some movies" he said reaching into his bag and pulling out a few different DVD cases. I let him pick one as I didn't care what we watched. He ended up putting on the notebook cheesy film huh?

He pulled me into his his chest as he cuddled me. I felt so protected in his arms. I wasn't planning on jumping into a realtionship with him, I wanted to wait a while, I'm happy Luke said he'll wait for me, I sure hope he will.

We spent the rest of the nights being idiots and eating food. I hope he's apart of my life for a long time, I don't want to loose him.

....just another short chapter, I am in love with how sweet Luke is acting plus there'll be a new character soon!!
