Shadowed

Halloween

We were getting ready in Anastasia's bedroom while listening to Nicki Minaj. I was doing golden eyeshadow as Anastasia was painting her nails golden.

I put on a golden sequin skirt and a black top. I put on the accessories as I admired myself from the mirror. "What's going on between you and Luka?", Anastasia asked suddenly. I raised my eyebrows before I answered, "Um, nothing". Anastasia let out a snort before saying, "Yeah right". I couldn't help but to smile a little as I knew that he will probably be at the club tonight.

I was dancing on the floor with Anastasia when suddenly a familiar girl started to dance next to us. After a while of thinking it hit me. Dafne. I tapped her shoulder and said, "Dafne! You remember me?". Her face lit up before she screamed, "Oh my god! How could I forget?". I laughed as we hugged.

"You two ladies want shots?", she asked and looked at us. "We never say no to that", Anastasia laughed over the music, making Dafne smile. "Perfect! I'll go buy a tray", she yelled before she walked over to the bar.

After what felt like an hour, I noticed Luka walking in. I took Dafne's and Anastasia's hands and led them tot he bathroom. We all went into one stall, me going first. "Luka and Tommy just walked in", I said and looked at Anastasia. "We should probably go greet them", she said as she smirked at me.

"Who's Luka and Tommy?", Dafne asked as she took a sip of her drink. "Tommy is her boyfriend", I said and pointed at Anastasia. "And Luka is hers", Anastasia said and nodded towards me. I gasped as I slapped her gently on her thigh. Dafne let out a laugh. We took a picture with Anastasia's camera before leaving the bathroom.

I walked towards the bar where I saw Tommy's back facing us. For some reason, my heart was beating heavily even though I have drank like seven shots. Suddenly I saw him. He looked like he tried to hide a smile underneath that face painting. Hot. Hate to admit.

"What are you two?", Luka asked as we came close enough and looked up and down our outfits. Tommy wrapped his hand around Anastasia as they were chatting something. "Gold diggers duh", I said and swung my golden shovel around in my hand. He smirked and shook his head. "Nice painting", I said and pointed at his face. "Thanks", he said before he turned around to order his drink.

I turned to Dafne who whispered to me, "I can talk to him, get you two together". "No, you don't need to, thanks tho", I said and smiled at her sweetly. I ran off to the dance floor with her as Teenage Dream came on.

Not a long time went by when I noticed Luka chatting with some girl. He was keeping the normal face as usual, I think the girl came to hit on him. Suddenly some guy approached me, "Hey I'm Hugo". I shook his hand and said back, "I'm Kiara".

Out of nowhere, I felt a hand wrapping around me, pulling me close. I grabbed his hand and looked behind me only to see Luka. "And I'm her boyfriend", Luka said. The guy nodded and started to back away until he disappeared into the crowd.

"If you don't get your hand off of me in three seconds, I'll hit you with this shovel", I said as I looked to my side. He brushed his lips against my cheek, making me take a sharp breath in. "It's plastic", he whispered.

I held my breath until I hissed, "Don't touch me". He let go of me, making me face him. I squinted my eyes as I walked back to the bar where Anastasia and Tommy were. I walked past Dafne who was talking to some guy. I winked at her which made her smile.

Suddenly I noticed the girl who Luka was talking with earlier, next to Luka again. They were on the other side of the bar. Rage took over my body as she touched his arm, clearly flirting with him. I stomped over to the other side of the bar. I wrapped my hand around Luka's shoulder as I looked at that girl dead in the eye. She looked at me up and down.

"I'm Luka's girlfriend", I said and offered my hand to her. She shook it slowly as she raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm Elaine...", as she left quickly. Before she passed us, I grabbed her hand and hissed quietly, "If you touch him again, I'll burn you so bad that you won't be able to touch anything". She looked at me with wide eyes before she ran away.

Luka smirked at me, making me roll my eyes. "If you don't get your hand off of me in three seconds, I'll kiss you", he said, making my eyes widen. I slowly let my hand fall off his shoulder as he clenched his jaw.

I sat down on the bar stool next to him. He took a sip of his drink before he asked, "You're gonna burn her". He turned his head to look at me. I placed my shovel on the bar before I answered, "Maybe". He tried to hide away his smirk.

I stood up, trying to leave to use the bathroom. Instead I twisted my ankle, Luka catching me quickly. He supported me to stand and asked, "You okay?". I nodded with a frown on my face. "You're not", he said as he helped me walk out of the club.

He lifted me in bridalstyle on his arms as he started to carry me to Anastasia. "Those shots were too much", I mumbled as I closed my eyes and leaned on his chest. "Clearly", he stated as he kept walking.

"You have the keys?", he asked as I didn't even realise that we were already on the appartment. He put me down as I handed him my bag. He found the keys and let me in.

He laid me on my bed as I threw my shovel on the floor. He put on my blanket on me. I heard him walking away. "Luka!", I yelled suddenly, making him stop. I heard him walk back. I tried to sit up as I said, "Stay". Luka just stood there with his hands in his pockets.

"Please", I whispered. I wasn't sure if he heard me but he started to walk towards my bed. He took his shirt and shoes off, finally laying down. I put the blanket on him. We liad there, looking at the ceiling, where my lamp was hanging from. I felt a bit awkward.

I turned to face him, he followed my moves and turned to face me too. I looked into his eyes. The moon light made the room a bit brighter so I was able to see his brown eyes a bit. He looked...curious. And something else too but I don't know how to describe it. I felt calm as I looked into his eyes before I started to drift off to sleep.
