Out of my Limit - Luke Hemmings

Chapter 8

Our lips moved in perfect sync. Her lips are so soft and I could taste her strawberry lipstick. We both started to breath heavily after getting out of the kiss. 

"Woah two little love birds in here, we should leave them alone!" Louis and Zayn screamed. They all got up and ran out of the room. Aimèe and I sat there, eyes wide opened. 

"What the hell was this?" Aimèe asked and I could see the little cute crease appearing on her forehead. I started giggling, but when she looked at me in anger I stopped. Soon her face turned soft and she started to get up and grabbed some cups. 

"Want some tea?" she asked me. I nodded and walked after her into the kitchen. 

"So, you and Harry now?" I asked her, trying to sound funny. 

"What? Did you spy after us?" She asked me back instead. But she wasn't angry or something . She started laughing! What's going on in here? 

"Well, Luke let me explain..."

Aimèe's POV

*flashback*

Did Harry really asked me for a date? Oh my gosh. I smiled. 

But then, Luke's face appeared in front of my eyes. The kiss. The fun. The time we first met. I realized - I can't go out with Harry even though he's a nice guy. 

"Sure Harry" I said. 

"But umm is it OK if we just go out as friends and get home as friends?" I asked him. I don't mean to hurt him, but I won't lie to him either. I don't want to expect him that after the "date" something is going to be on between us. His eyes and face went sad but he nodded in understanding. 

"You like Luke, don't you?" He asked me, forcefully. 

"I guess." was all I said when i got up and pulled Harry into a hug. 

"Harry, you're a nice guy and any girl could be happy to have you! But see, you and me... It's just not meant to be. I'm so sorry! You'll find somebody better than me and after that she'll be your loved girlfriend, you both will get married some day and get many, beautiful kids and I'll be the babysitter of them." I told Harry as he wiped away some tears. I really didn't mean to hurt him. I just don't like lying. 

"So, go and make something work between you and Luke!" Harry said, pushing me towards the door.

*Flashback ends*

"That's all that happened!" I told Luke, smiling. He came near me and gave me a quick peck. I smiled and started blushing. 

"Well, I have to go to bed early because tomorrow will be a team meeting." I smiled weakly at him and kissed his cheek. 

"Good night Lukey !" I said. Instead of saying something he pulled me into a tight hug. 

"Sleep well, beautiful!" He said as I walked up the stairs to my room. I threw my clothes to the ground and put my pajamas on. I cuddled up into my pillows and went off to sleep with a smile on my face.

*next day*

My clock was beeping. 7:00am. Alright, time to get up. I slowly put my covers back and stood up. I grabbed some clothes and walked into the bathroom. I took a quick, hot shower, did my makeup and walked into the kitchen. Nobody was there. They're all probably sleeping. I heard a loud noise in the living room and went there. It was Tammy, trying to clean up a mess. 

"Morninnnn'!" she said. I stood there smiling at her. She knows I'm not a real morning person so she takes the work and cleans the room. 

"Thanks T." I said, handing her a cup of the and her bowl with cereals in it. Soon she got out and went home before going to the ice hall. 30 minutes later I made my way up to there.

I felt a pair of eyes on my back. I heard footsteps behind me. HELP! 'Run!' everything inside me screamed, but I just tried to keep calm and stay cool. 

When I tried to cross the street, I looked a bit to the left side from where the footsteps were coming. It was him. The same man as I had seen in front of Simon's house. The one, that smiled dirty at me. The one, who probably texted me "I'm watching you!". 

I was shocked. Why's he following me? What does he want? He came near me. I tried to hurry up to get to the ice hall. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and slapped the man with my hand across the face. He didn't expect that, so he gasped for air . 

This left me time for running of. I ran as fast as my legs would carry me. He soon was about to close the distance between us again. How the fuck was he this fast? The adrenaline poured into my veins. I breathed heavily. It was impossible to get out of his reach. 

'I'm done now.' an inner voice told me. I shook my head whilst running. Everything made me just run faster. And soon enough the hall showed up and I heard the man behind me getting slowlier. I rushed through the front door and came to stop. Catching my breath I held my stomach. That's crazy! 

Why do I have a stalker ? Why is he following me? WHY DID HE EVEN START TO STALK ME? All these questions went through my brain when a hand touched my shoulder. I jumped in supriseness. I let out a little scream. 

"Woah Aimèe keep calm and catch your breath!" Candra, a girl of my team, told me. 

"Sorry Candie, I didn't mean to scare you. It's just... Someone followed me the way from home to here. I had to run half of the way." I said. She hugged me and leaded me to our meeting room. I was greated by all the other girls and boys. They all came and hugged me. They're like my second family. We love each other and always got an open ear for someones problems. And we try to cheer everyone up if an exercise don't went that well. 

That's why we're called the ice-family. Stupid and uninteresting, I know. Soon, before the meeting started, I sent a text to Luke, asking if he could come and pick me up after the meeting. He surely agreed.

"A warm welcome to all of you!" Sally, our coach, told us. We all just smiled at her. 

"As you all know, this weekend the big competition is going to start. And you're one of the best teams on figure skating, so you're allowed to take part at this one. I'm so proud of you ! My little babies are going to grow up and become strong" she said, a little tear rolled down her face. It was true. She knew us from when we started figure skating. 

I was 4 by then. Most of us were 4, but the boys were all a bit older. She told us lots more, about how great we are and how proud she is and something like that. It was so emotional. This wasn't our strong, much-expecting coach Sally, it was the sensitive and weak Sally. This side we don't see that often. However, the meeting came to an end and I got a call from Luke.

"Hey Aimèe ! I'm waiting outside. Or am I allowed to come in?" He asked. 

"Yo, Hemmings. Ah nah, you surely can come in! I don't want you to catch the flew or something. I also want to practice a bit. You can come and watch" he chuckled. I hung up and walked out of the room into the lobby. When I saw Luke, I ran towards him and hugged him really tight. 

"Come on! I have to tell you something after practising." I was totally sure that it would be the best if Luke knows about the whole stalking thing. But before, I want to get my mind free and be an ice-princess.
