His Guilty Pleasure

Chapter Twenty

I groan, turning over. The sun is bright and I feel like a vampire.
"Did y'all have sex?"
I look up and Luke is smirking at me. I throw the pillow, turning over.
"We didn't.." I groan.
"Awe. We did, why didn't you tell me about something so beautiful." He questions.
"I didn't know."
The silence is great and I want to fall asleep again.
"He took off work. For you. He doesn't do that."
Took off work? For me? No way.
"Dont lie."
"I cannot."
I sit up, smiling big at him.
"He went to grab breakfast because Liza was nagging him for a donut."
"You really like her? She's my best friend Luke and you are too...you can't hurt her."
"I wouldn't. I promise."
I smile, hugging him. He hugs me back and his warm hands massage my back.
"Not in my bed."
I smirk at a frowning Joe.
"Who beat you?" I ask. He groans, passing me a coffee and orange juice.
"Bro! She beat you? You're ass."
I laugh as Luke pats Joe on the back. Lizzy walks in, wiggling her eyebrows. I shake my head no and she pouts.
"Okay ..can the party go somewhere else?" Joe says, annoyed. Hmm..someone is angry. So is he going to start being mean again? I stand up to leave and he grabs my wrist. Lizzy eyes his hand, dragging a grinning Luke out. They shut the door and I can hear another door click shut.
"You shouldn't lead him on."
Lead who on? I cock my head to the side, "Lead who on?"
"Luke. The hugging and touching, it's not needed for a friendship."
"Neither is kissing or sleeping in the same bed but you still did it."
"What?"
"Nothing. You're jealous."
"No. I'm protecting my brother."
"Protect me."
"I want to..but there's always precautions and boundaries."
"Like?"
He sighs, sitting down. I sip my orange juice as he pulls me into his lap. There's complete and utter silence. I burp and he chuckles.
"You get that from your mom?" He asks, still smiling.
"My dad. Mom is a real lady. What boundaries?"
"You're persistent."
"You're a procrastinator. Go on."
"Well if me and you became a we...you would be a secret. I would be a secret. Girls like pictures and showing off, I'd like to show you off too. I swear. It's not possible."
I look at my little fingers, feeling a little sad. No pictures and no public affection. Can I handle that?
"Next, no telling David or your mom. David, Davie, wouldn't allow it and you'd be in trouble. Too much trouble and I wouldn't be able to handle that. I can buy you gifts, anything you want; but you wouldn't be able to say they came from me..everything would be a secret. You can't get lust-eyes when you see me. You can't stare at me or show too much attention to me in public. You don't deserve that type of relationship.."
I listen to him sigh before I look into those gray eyes.
"I want you.."
I feel butterflies in my stomach and I hope it's not gas. Gas would ruin this.
"I want you too."
"Well go out already!" Lizzy and Luke scream through the door. Joe laughs and I blush, burying my face into his chest.
"They embarrassed my baby?"
I laugh, kissing his neck. My phone rings and moms picture pops up, trying to test my lying skills already.
