Skinny

Chapter Eleven

"Excuse me if I don't believe that Maci but come on. I doubt Luke is that good. He's a total nerd," Avery says between coughs. The room we're in is full of smoke now and it's only been a couple minutes. "You wouldn't think Adam was that good in bed either because he's a nerd but I assure you he knows how to lay it down," Lauren giggles. We all bust out laughing at Lauren's words. "No one says lay it down anymore chick," I say. "Oh shut up. You both know what I meant!" The door to the room opens and the boys walk in, letting our smoke out and the loud music in. Luke makes his way toward the chair that I'm sitting in and grabs me up, taking the seat and plops me down in his lap. His lips find the sensitive spot on the back of my neck and kisses me there. "And what are you three ladies gossiping about in here," Adam asks with his arm around Lauren. They really do make a good couple. With Adam's tall, mixed body type and Lauren's small African American figure, they fit perfectly. "We were comparing Adam's and Luke's dick sizes," Lauren answers looking right at her brother, Clint. He groans and shakes his head on disgust. "You girls and your hormones. I'm so glad no one here has seen mine." Lauren passes the joint to Adam who takes a quick, lungful of smoke and passes it on to Luke. "Yore forgetting that we're twins idiot. We were in the womb together for like nine months, remember? I've seen your little pecker more times than I wish I had," Avery tells her brother. "Technically you were in the womb for more than nine months. It's usually around ten to eleven depending on when the sperm and egg actually bonded," I chirp in. Everyone stops laughing at Avery's joke and looks right at me. "Okay Doctor smart ass, thanks for the unfun fact of the day," Clint chuckles. Luke wraps his arms tighter around my waist and pulls me against him. With his lips at my ear he murmers into it, "I personally find your obgyn talk sexy as hell. In fact, maybe we should go into a room and make a baby?" My heart pings with sadness. Gosh, I miss my job. "Anyway, Maci. How long are you going to be with us, Adam asks. I panic not knowing how to answer. Do I really even want to go back home? Sure I miss my family, especially my parents but I've talked to then everyday since I left and looking around me, I see all the faces of people who have always been there for me. All the 'friends' I have in Texas, haven't even bothered to check on me to see if I'm still breathing, let alone how I'm doing with Liam and mines break up. "She'll be here with me till I leave for New York and who knows with the way things are going between us, she might even come with me or talk me into staying with her here," Luke answers for me. Everyone's mouths drop open at his comment. No one in the history of anyone has been able to talk Luke Smith out of traveling anywhere, much less interrupting his life course. Especially not some plain girl. I remember when we both left Auburn and went our septerate ways. Me, back to Texas to finish my studies to become and obstetrician and Luke to go to grad school for engineering. I had begged and pleaded with him to come to Texas with me and he had all but spit in my face by telling me that his career was more important. In the end, I left alone, only coming back to Auburn once in the last five years when me Liam had broken up with me for some forty year old crack head who apparently sucked dick like a master. I turn my head towards Luke and quirk my eyebrows. "I knew nothing of this." A huge grin spreads across his face. "I figure there's no better time to talk about it then the present, while we're both stoned and our friends are around us so you can't slap me or run away screaming." To emphasize his point, Clinic moves in front of the door, with a creepy smile plastered on his face. He places his fingers together and laughs maniacally. I shake my head and laugh. "Okay. Okay. Let's talk about this then!" Luke grabs my hips and turns me around in his lap, so I'm facing him. He takes my hands in his and looks at me seriously. "I know you have a life back in Texas and five years ago, hell even a week ago, I would have said you and me would probably never happen again, because our lives were headed in opposite directions. This s a pretty big thing and I understand you being completely against this but I think we could maybe make his work. Having you here the past couple days and shown me that I made the biggest mistake of my life letting you go five years ago. That's why I let Aria come over this morning. I wanted to tell her that what we had, is over. I, of course, will still be friends with her because she does mean a lot to me but I want me and you, to be serious again. I want you to stay here, with me," he breathes a sigh of relief after getting it all out in the open. I realize that as he's speaking, my eyes are filling with tears and I can feel in my throat that they might spill any second from now. All I can do is nod before leaning into him and kissing him hard on the mouth. Everyone cheers around us but I barely hear them. I'm finally get in my happy ending and that's all I care about in this moment.
