Enough Secrets (gxg)

14 : Slapped

Blake's POV

Two days.

Two days since Brooks left my room in a rush and hasn't spoken to me. She hasn't replied to any of my texts or called me back. I thought about going over to her house but I didn't want to over step. I haven't met her moms or family yet.

I understand what happened was embarrassing for her, but I didn't want her to feel like it was. I hope I didn't make her feel like she had to run away from me because of it.

"Hey Blake" I turn to the person who called me. I was putting my books away at my locker before class. It's Luke.

I haven't spoken to him since the break up. He hasn't stopped texting me or trying to call me since then but I haven been ignoring everything. I blocked his number as well but he keeps calling me from other numbers. He won't leave me alone. I think the only reason she hasn't come up to me in school is because I have been with Brooks or one of her friends every second at school until today.

"What do you want Luke?" I tell him without turning to face him.

"Are you not going to even look at me?"

"I'm busy so say what you have to say or I'm leaving" I slam my locker door and turn to him.

"I want us to get back together. I made a mistake. I'm sorry and it will never happen again I promise"

"Luke..."

"Get the fuck away from her" Brooks suddenly appears between Luke and I. She pushes him away from me creating a distance between us.

"What the fuck is your problem" Luke says with anger.

"You're my problem. Now leave and don't even think about talking to Blake again"

"This is why you broke up with me" he looks past Brooks and to me. "She's going to play you just like she did everyone else" he walks away from us. Brooks is still standing facing Luke until he is completely out of sight.

"Are you okay? Did he do anything?" the look of worry is on Brooks' face as she checks on me.

"Yeah I'm okay. He didn't do anything. He just wanted to try to get back together"

"What did you say?"

"I was about to say no but you came in and pushed him away"

"Oh, sorry. I just saw him talking to you and something came over me. I wanted to do much worse but I didn't want to scare you" her eyes focus on anything other than mine.

"Brooks, you don't scare me" I reach for her hand. Taking it into mine. "I was worried that you haven't talked to me in two days"

"I'm sorry I should've replied to you. I just...can we talk about this somewhere more private?"

I nod yes and we walk to my car. I get into the driver's seat and Brooks into the passenger seat. I can tell she is a bit nervous.

"I want to start by saying sorry for leaving you alone without explanation Friday night. I shouldn't have done that. I was really embarrassed about what happened and my first reaction was to leave. That has never happened to me before. I didn't know what to do but I know now that my response was not the correct one. I'm sorry"

"I accept your apology" I smile. "And it is nothing to be embarrassed about. Things happen. And trust me I was just as turned on as you were. It's kind of a compliment to me"

"This has never happened to me though. But with you everything feels so different. Your touch does things to me that I haven't felt before. It's almost hard to control myself. I know that probably sounds lame but..."
