My Bestfriend's Lover Sequel: He Doesn't Know

Part Thirty Seven: Cafe

Luke's P.O.V.

I felt 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 felt 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.

It's 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 café next to the hotel we were staying in. And though they came out in public 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 it's okay, I'd rather be third wheeling these two than them.

"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 café, 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, reassuring her. "And we love you too. You and Delilah were already here before all these stuff. We'll all stand with 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, smiling mischievously.

"What?" I repeated, chuckling.

Now, I'm pretty 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, shrugging. "It's 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, raising her eyebrow. "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, raising her pinky finger. I smiled, wrapping my pinky finger with hers. She glanced back at Calum as we held our hands down. "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 is going to be alright.

That's what I thought...
