Chapter 2

Yeah, um.. non of you wanted more, but to hell with you, I like this story! I'm sorry please keep reading!

I'm getting dressed and trying to look anything like a pretty human. I put on a simple, black dress, reaching a little above my knees with some small black Toms shoes. My makeup is simple and I hope that's enough because I can't do anything better. I can maybe draw, but drawing on faces ain't my thing. I wasn't in the library today and it's around 7 pm now, and since I have nothing else to do than wait I start heading over to the cafe/bar. When I walk inside I see Luke sit by the bar. I sight and look around for Garret. Nowhere to be seen. I came an hour earlier but a girl can hope. I guess I can sit by the bar and wait on him? It's easier for him to see me if I sit by the bar. Cuz' I want him to see me right? Was it this hot in here yesterday? Am I sweating? Oh shit, I can't smell sweaty, that's gross. I don't want him to think I'm gross, do I? Of course not! Why am I so nervous, this is my soulmate! Well a drink to calm the nerves can't be so bad, could it? I sit down by the bar and wave my hand so the bartender, Monica (according to her name tag), nods to me after taking and order a few seats above me to the left, right by Luke. I groan loudly like a dying bull bleeding by an epic axe wound because I would be an badass bull, in my head of course, when I see Luke smirk at me and head over to me. "Hey" he says while he smoothly slides down beside me on the seat beside me. God, I wish it was taken by Garret right now. "Bye" I say quickly and started to get up and run out. Me and Garret could have our date out by the dumpster rather than here. Luke grabs my arm and pull me back. "Valerie, come on! I really want to get to know you, but you ain't helping by turning me down every time I say hey" he laugh and drag me closer. He sit back at the bar stool and drag me in between his thighs and put his arms around me and lock me in. I put my hands on his thigthes to not have them dangle dangerly colse to his little winer. His face changes when I'm up close to his face, more torn, tired, and bitterness. His face turn serious and says in a low but steady voice, "'I heard that douche talk about you today; he goes to the same grocery store as I, and I head him talk about you to the cashier, apparently a friend of his, and he didn't say nice things. I vent here today hoping you would show up early so i could give you a heads up" he rushes. "Garret isn't like that! He's nice, and caring, and why would he talk behind my back? He don't even know me that much! What did he say about me?" I protest in a weak voice. Afraid it was true, but hoping he was wrong. "I don't know why.. and umm..."I don't know if i could tell you this..." he looked around like he was looking around for answers. I just nod to let him know to continue. He sights and hugs me close, at first I'm to shocked to quite understand what he's doing, then I hesitantly hug back. "He told the cashier he was going to get that nerd from library home and do the usual stuff " he whisper in my ear. I feel my eyes water up. I back up a little. I clear my throat and try to wipe away the tears with my finger without ruining the makeup. He take the napkin that was under his glass and gave it to me. I nod in a thanks and remove the tears of being betrayed. That douche is my soulmate? That jerk is the one that shows me the colorful world? Heck no! I rather live forever in the dark and never- dark green. Deep and calm dark green, I could imagine the forest in this beautiful color. The longer I stare at it, the bigger it gets and the more welcomed I feel to this bar, to this town, to being squished in between Luke's legs and having his hands on my arms and look into his deep, dark green eyes. This was tranquilizing and calm feeling just come over me and I stare at his eyes. "Valerie.. are you alright?" he asks and and smiles kindly to me. How did I not like him before? "Um yeah.. it's just.. I can see your eyes.. The color.. It's really nice.." I mumble. His eyes widen and I can see a little happiness explode in his eyes and a grin grows on his lips. "Really?! What color?" he asks. I blink, stare at them a little. There's tree types of staring, you know? The one where you're in so deep thought, you don't like really see what you're looking at. It's kinda fuzzy and blurry when you try to think back to it. The second where you stare at the thing and see all those details you never saw before, suddenly you get a new interest for the object, person or whatever. The third where you kinda see deep into the thing and try to figure out the meaning and purpose of it. Right now I some how did them all. I thought about what a dickmove Garret did, and how heartbroken I am of how my crush think about and treat me. Stared at Luke's dark forest green eyes and gobbled in all the beautiful details, memorizing every shade of the color and taking in his face in general. But in his eyes I saw faint pain and sorrow, the happiness from earlier, a little concern for me, surprise and a loving look, not lust this time, loving look. "Green.. dark green" i tell him and smile a little shyly. Then his eyes moves above my head and I see anger fast grow in his face and I feel him drag me closer to him again. I turn around to see my date in the doorway. "Ain't you gonna cancel the date? He's just thinking of using you!" he hisses in my ear. "But he's not gonna go away with it! What about if he takes me home to him I give you a call and you come busting in throwing punches or something?" I hiss quickly back. He didn't have much time do agree or not, before Garret spotted us and started walking our way. I tear myself away from Luke, even if I didn't really want to. Then he spotted us. "Give me your number!" I hiss fast and turn around to face Garret. "But-" he start, but I hit his arm and hiss half loudly in his face. "Damn it, just give me your number you stupid hot biker thingy" and I regret talking my whole life at this moment. I slap my hand over my mouth with wide eyes, his smirk grows to a wide almost mockingly evil grin. "Did you just call me-" I lay my hand over his mouth and hush him. "Shut your mouth you little- Hi, Garret!" I turn to face him and hit Luke in the stomach behind my back, not hard, just from him to shut up. He smiles and nods. "Hi there beautiful" he says and I just want to hit him in the head. The little one that does the thinking. "Hi, I'm Luke, I don't believe we have met" Luke says and reaches out his hand to meet Garrets little hand. I can feel the heavy sarcasm drip from Luke's mouth and see the he tries to brake Garrets hand. "Luke, I'm Garret, nice to meet you" he says wincing a little. "So your my girls date, hmm? Can't say the don't hurt a little" he joke and look at me. "Very funny Luke, shall we go Garret?" I ask and pat Luke's shoulder. Garret locks his arm in mine and drags me towards the door. "Yes, I thought maybe go to a nice bar not long from here..." he kept on talking and I look back at Luke, he holds up the little purse I took with me and shows me a little note with his number on and puts it in my purse and lay it back on the counter. "Oh! I almost forgot my purse! I'll meet you outside" I tell him and smile my most innocent smile. Then I slide out of his grip and jog over to Luke again. "I text you the address and stuff" I says in a lowered voice. "No, keep me updated the whole time! I don't want that dickbag to do anything to you. Don't accept anything he offers you, or from others!" he argues and go all overprotective. I smile and look at his green eyes. "I'm a big girl, my own girl by the way, I can take care of myself" I tell him, take my purse, hug him quick and jog back out to meet Garret on the corner.

We sit dangerously close at some fancy bar Garret picked out. I'm not shy or embarrassing by being close to Garret today. It's surprising how fast a year long crush would burn to the ground just by hearing shit about him. He tries to talk to me, makes jokes, and compliment me, but I keep turning him down and play it cool. "Would you excuse me? I have to go to the little girls room" I tell him and already start getting up to run to the toilet. "Of course.." he says and watch me while I walk away. When I get inside I text Luke; at some fancy shit bar a few blocks away, the creep keep trying to put his arm around me. I do my pee and get an answer when I wash my hands. I gonna break that pricks nose and make a necklace of his teeth for you, but I tbh don't think those yellow fangs will suit you. I can't help myself smile.

When I return to Garret, he has ordered two fancy drinks for us. The way he grins at me makes me sick and I ask myself how I can't believe I used to genuinely like this guy. "I ordered you a new drink," he says, pointing out the obvious. "How generous, you shouldn't" I reply stiffly. Luke had said to not take anything he offered, I recall. Not that I didn't know that already. I'm a strong, independent woman who doesn't need a man to tell me what to do. I realize I had gotten lost in thought as Garret shoves the drink towards me, suggestively. "Doesn't it look good?" he asks, raising an eyebrow. Did my last drink look that bubbly? Yet, I keep my head high and try my hardest to look unaffected. "Why not sparkle it with glitter and throw in a little, pink umbrella instead? Yours looks better," I reply smoothly, pointing to his beer. Suddenly, he tenses up. Gotca' bitch. "Wanna trade?" I follow up. His eyes flicker around for a little bit before they meet mine. "There's no way in hell I'd be seen drinking a girly drink like that," he finally replies. I roll my eyes. "Afraid of hurting your oh-so fragile masculinity? Don't worry - you didn't have one to begin with," I say slyly. His jaw is clenched and he furrows his eyebrows in anger. I no longer recognize the sweet guy I thought he was. Anger is all over his face. I take a hold of my phone in my pocket; ready to run and call Luke. He looks down for a few seconds and when he looks back up at me, his look has softened. "You know what? I can afford your drink going to waste. Let's just order you a beer as well, if that's what you want." I almost feel bad for him. Keyword: almost. After all, the guy did just try to drug me.

Around 11.30 he got up and asks if we could just stop by his place before walking me home. "Where's your place then? Maybe we are going to head the same way?" I ask, just wanting to get his address so I could text it over to Luke. He tell me and I nod. "Really? That's the opposite of where I live" I tell him and smile innocently. "Come on, it's just a few minutes walk" he pleads. I roll my eyes, "Fine". A creepy smile creeps up on his lips and a disgusting sparkle shines in his eyes. I text Luke the address and adds a little desperately; few mins walk. hurry! We end up in one of the nice streets in town, with villas on both sides of the road, boats parked by the garage, pools and all kinds of rich stuff. "Wow, I didn't know you where a goddamn royal" I mumble and look around while we walk up the driveway. I look a little nervous while looking for Luke, nowhere to be seen yet. As I step inside, looking at my phone for answer from Luke seeing *running* literally, I feel a pair of hands grab me and drag me further into the house, feeling a cloth being put over my mouth and nose. I hold my breath instantly and tries to fight back.
