He Doesn't Know; I Know

Part Thirty Six: Cafe

Luke's P.O.V.

Call me selfish now but, even though I feel bad about Cheryl wanting Calum to ditch Michelle, cause, why the hell? Really? She's nice. Michael was right, Cheryl should give them a chance. I feel furious that Delilah has to go, as well. Two days?

And I still haven't figured out what's this crazy feeling I'm having towards her.

Okay, fine. Deny it all I want, but, fine, I think I do like her. And I've been trying to ignore, deny and hide it for years. We're good friends. And I can't lose her just because she doesn't feel the same.

But this is now or never.

Its like a situation of life and death.

She's with Louis now. But he's changing her. Soon, I might lose her for real if I don't tell her.

I can't let that happen.

"Luke!" Michelle called, snapping me out of my thoughts. She frowned. "Are you okay?"

I pushed my lips into thin smile, nodding.

We were sat outside a cafe next to the hotel we were staying in. And though they came out already the other day, Cheryl still thought it'd be best if someone still accompany them when going out. I asked Delilah to come, but Louis and her where having lunch together.

Now, I'm stuck as a third wheel. But its okay.

"I'm sorry, Luke," she said. "You know, about all this mess I brought you. You and the boys. Calum."

She glanced at Calum who was inside the cafe, ordering for us. The moment he spotted us looking at him, he smiled, waving at us.

I looked back at her, seeing her blushing. God, they're goals.

"Calum loves you," I pointed. "And we love you too. You and Delilah were already here before we do all these stuffs. We'll all stand for you."

"I know," she smiled. "I'm grateful I have you guys. But, I have to ask you something."

"What?" I chuckled nervously.

"You like Delilah, don't you?" She asked.

"What?" I repeated.

And I'm sure I'm blushing.

"Gotcha!" She giggled. "Man, I always knew! Why aren't you telling her?"

"She's going out with Louis," I said. "Its the first time she went out with someone after her last boyfriend a few years back. I don't wanna ruin it. Not even our friendship over some silly feelings I have for her."

"Silly?" She asked. "So you do like her?"

"Well," I grinned. "Fine. But don't tell her. I do like her. A lot. I just realized it."

"I won't," she promised. "Hey, I think Calum's calling us."

I looked back at Calum who was gesturing for one of us to come inside. Michelle was on the edge of standing up when I stood up immediately.

"I got it," I told her. "Stay right here."

I thought everything will going to be alright. That's what I thought...
