Everything I Didn't Say

Chapter 35

...

"Good morning." Luke rasps, looking down on me.

"Morning." I smile, shuffling to get in a sitting position.

Luke looks around the room as if trying not to make eye contact with me as his face reddens.

"Let's get breakfast." He nods, swallowing hard.

"O-okay." I sigh and follow him into his kitchen.

"Good morning Luk-guys." Jack smiles to us, stuttering when he sees me in Luke's shirt. Suddenly I feel uncomfortable as I realize that the only thing I have on underneath this is panties.

"Hey Jack." Luke waves his hands in front of Jack's face to keep him from staring at me.

"I-uh-I made waffles. They're over there." He points to the stacked plate on the counter.

"By the looks of it, I'd think you knew that I was bringing Adeline home with me last night." Luke says whilst handing me a plate and sitting down with me at the table joined by Jack.

"I didn't. Not until..you know..your shower scene.." Jack's smirks and I feel like I could die from embarrassment, although thinking about what Luke and I did last night sends a warm feeling in my private parts.

"Oh." Luke chuckles. "Oops." He shrugs and shovels waffles in his mouth.

"So tell me about yourself, Adeline." Jack says, pointing his fork in my direction.

"Well what do you want to know?" I ask.

"Anything that let's me know I like you." He smiles, and I can't help but blush. His dimples were exactly like Luke's and his hair the same color but different style. His beard was in the same line as Luke's but thicker. If this is what Luke looks like in the future I'm totally okay.

I realize that I'd been staring so I speak up. "Um.. well I mean if you can't tell already, I'm quite an awkward person. I've been this way for as long as I can remember."

Jack nods. "Did you go to the same high school as Lucas?"

Luke groans at the nickname. "Yeah, I did. But I didn't really talk to him much. I-I wasn't in his league." I recall sadly.

"More like you weren't in my league." Luke pipes up. "That's why I didn't talk to you." He says a bit harshly.

I look down at my plate and poke at my food, suddenly becoming full. "Anyways." Jack coughs. "What did you do in high school though? We're you on any teams or clubs?"

I blink a few times to keep myself from crying. "Nope. I was just a bookworm. I was that nerd that didn't fit in to any type of group, who couldn't wait to get home to go see their family because I knew that they were the only ones that excepted me." I clench my jaw so I don't let anymore words come out, feeling like I've said too much as it is.

"Well looks like everything resolved itself. You've got a great boyfriend that I'm sure anyone would kill to have. You're-I'm sure- so much more beautiful than any of the other girls that went to your school. And you've still got your family. You've got it all now."

I lightly laugh at this, knowing that this isn't the case at all. I mean yeah, having Luke as my boyfriend is a win, but I'm still not as beautiful as everyone goes on about, and my family are a whole other story that I don't care to get into at the moment. I bet half of the girls I went to school with in high school have been through college by now and have a nice career to support their perfect families, when I'm here still living with my parents and working a part time job at a pizza restaurant. My life still isn't much better than high school.
