His Redemption (MxM)

Chapter 68

Luke

Alicia just mentioned Adriano calling her, why would he call her?
How did he even have her number? What did they talk about?, did he tell her what happened two days ago? Was it just a business call?
"I knew something was wrong with you" she started looking at me, and I clenched my jaw "you tensed up when I mentioned his name, Luke what happened"? She asked softly, I quickly looked away from her, wanting to just avoid the question and any talk that has to do with Adriano or what happened between us two days ago

"What makes you think something happened"? I asked under my breath and I heard her snort out loud, causing me to look at her, meeting her accusing gaze on me.

"I know you Luke, and I know when something's wrong, especially when it has to do with someone else, you tensed up when I mentioned his name" she rushed out, and I clenched my jaw, curse my inability to keep a clear head and hide my emotions.

"Did he tell you anything"? I asked and she cocked her brows at me

"He didn't need to,what happened"? She pressed and I bit my lips and looked away from her, I don't want to tell her, I mean do I have to?
But I can't not tell her, She's going to keep asking and I hate when she does that, especially now that Adriano has already taken it upon himself to call her.

Why did he even think it was okay to call her?
"Luke...." She called and I sighed out and turned my gaze back on her, she was giving me that soft look, that one that always made me cave in.

"He kissed me" I whispered out, hating how I made it sound, it didn't sound like a bad thing, and I wasn't sounding half as pissed off about it as I was two days ago, I heard her gasp out lowly, and when I looked at her, she didn't look surprised, just mischievous, with a wide grin on her face

"Oh my God, I knew he was totally into you, I told you" she rushed out and I just stared at her blankly, causing her face to pull up into a frown "why the long face? You should be ecstatic that he kissed you, it means he likes you and he's gay, or bi or whatever else there is out there" she rushed out, and I just clenched my jaw tight

"You don't get it do you"? I asked and she narrowed her eyes at me

"Get what"? She asked and I stifled an annoyed growl, because I was slowly getting aggravated by how relaxed she seemed, how excited she was sounding over the fact that Adriano kissed me, there's nothing to be excited about in that

"I don't care what he is, and I don't care if he likes me, Alicia, I don't know this guy, I don't know where you met him and why you think we should be anything or anything should ever happen between us, I don't need any of that right now ...." She cut me off rolling her eyes at me

"Oh come on, don't be a sour puss, a kill joy, you have to admit he's hot, and you're not exactly in a relationship right now, and plus you need a distraction, if it's not him, then who will it be"? She asked and I clenched my jaw.

She's being childish and in a way, it's fucking annoying, she doesn't get that I don't want a fucking distraction, what I need is some peace and quiet, away from all this drama
"Exactly my point Alicia, I'm not in a relationship, there's a reason why, and I don't intend to be in one, I just ..." She cut me off again, causing me to groan out lowly

"Because you just got off a rather complicated situationship"? She asked mockingly and I resisted an eye roll, I hate that she was making my issue with Hewitt to seem so light, like it wasn't anything at all, she made it seem like something I can just get over and move on to the next person, but I'm not that kind of person, I can't just pretend like the last six months that happened between Hewitt and I didn't happen, I can't move on to anybody, at least not yet
