Surfing with Eli

Chapter 18

Eli:

"He'll come around" Carson said throwing an arm around my shoulders to bring me in closer to her. It had already been a week and no signs of Luka coming around yet.

I think it was time I moved on, try to let go and keep moving forward in my life. Not every relationship you make will last till the end, and I had to grasp the fact that Luka and I's friendship was one of those times.

"I'll be fine" I argued not wanting to show just how affected I was about the whole thing. It was stupid really. Luka had told me flat out that he wasn't going to be my boyfriend, it was my fault for getting so attached.

I acted like a love sick puppy and now it was just time to face the music, not everything goes the way you hope it will. God I sounded so depressing even to myself.

"I know you will be, but I'm here for you anyway" she nuzzled her nose in the crook of my neck. Even my mother worried for me and she didn't even know the extent to what happened, all I had told her was Luka and I had a fight and now he didn't want to be friends with me any longer.

As for the other guys we were all still close, they made it clear no sides would be taken and that they were only a text away if I needed anything. Though I was pretty sure Grey knew something that he wouldn't talk about. It made sense because he was Luka's best friend way before I had showed up in the picture, I didn't pry though.

Luka deserved to have his privacy. I didn't hate him for anything, I still felt all the same feelings for him and still thought he was a good person. He was just a really hurt, good person. But it didn't mean I wasn't mad at him.

  "So I signed up for that Scotland trip, it's in two weeks" I told her making her eyes go wide. "Th-that's great... but won't it be a little boring for you since..." Since I didn't have any close friends who were also going on the trip. She knew she didn't have to finish the sentence.

"I suppose, but I think I just need to get out of here for a little bit. Everything reminds me of him especially the damn beach, I haven't been surfing in forever." I sighed and ran the pros and cons of going on the trip.

Con: I'd be by myself with no one to enjoy it with.

Pro: There wouldn't be a chance of running into Luka on the street.

Con: I wouldn't get to surf or see Carson and the others.

Pro: Who knows I might meet a Scottish guy.

But the thought of being with someone else didn't really sound so appealing to me. I know many people always say to get back on the old horse and whatever, but that horse kicked me pretty fucking hard before throwing me off its back.

"I'm still going to interrogate Grey about what Luka has been up to" Carson slapped the table with her hand with a determined look in her eye. I gave her a small smile because I owed her as much, she was concerned and I was grateful to have her in my life.

She began to twiddle her thumbs while giving me an unsure look, "Get it out already" I told her motioning with my hand to go on.

"So I didn't ask before since how everything went down in the end... but how was the sex?" she asked raising her eyebrow.

A hot sensation started to creep up my neck as my thoughts went through how to respond to her question. Was it pathetic that even a week later I still used that day to fuel my late night fantasies?

I was a man and I had needs alright! But I could still feel his strong capable hands on my body. Could still feel his warm breath fan over my skin, still hear his moans and growls.
