*Luke’s POV*
I can’t believe this happened. I mean does this stuff always have to happen and mess things up?
This morning in the bathroom kind of made up for everything that happened yesterday after the movies but now… Katherine was really angry at me. And I don’t even know why.
“Don’t. touch. Me.” Katherine told me with gritted teeth
“Try to understand. I didn’t mean to hurt you, she’s my girlfriend for the devil’s sake.” I wrapped both my hands around her arms in full control
“Luke you don’t get it. You tell me not to date the ‘jerks’ and then look at you, inviting sluts over for what do you guys call it? Yea, “playtime”’ She replied back with rage in her eyes
Great. Now it started raining too. And we were both standing on the balcony outside. I could hear her gentle sobs and before I knew it, she broke loose from my control and ran outside, towards the small forest which our house was a few meters away from. Damn it. Why was she overreacting?
“Kat! Where are you?” I yelled as I searched the forest for her. It was raining even harder now.
“KATHERINE!!” I yelled even louder and since it was night, I could barely see anything.
I ran even deeper into the forest and saw her there. Sitting at the bottom of a tree with her arms crossed over her legs and her head down. She was soaked wet in water and I could hear her gently crying.
I felt like such a jerk even though I didn't know what I had done wrong.
I went near her and sat in front of her, slowly bringing her closer to me. I could feel her chest pounding hard and she was shivering a lot. Katherine was letting out soft and gentle sobs which felt like someone was pounding a hammer on my chest. It hurt so much to see her cry.
“Katherine please don’t cry” I whispered softly in her ear.
Everything was spinning in my head. Why did it hurt so much to see her cry? Why do I get so angry when some guy would get close to her or call her something like “hot” or “sexy”? Why can I not imagine her being with someone else? Why do I like to be around her? Why do I feel like grabbing her and wrapping her in my arms whenever I see her hurt or in need of help? All these questions were like a million pieces to put together in a puzzle.
You’re in love with Katherine.
My head told me instantly. I was shocked. Struck with astonish. I love Katherine. Oh my god.
“Luke... Luke I’m cold” Katherine told me between sobs. She was still crying.
“Yea, yea don’t worry, I’ll get you home right now” I told her, still very astound
With that, I grabbed her hand and made her stand up. I picked her up because I was afraid she was too weak to walk. She placed her head against my chest and I ran towards home, scared something might happen to her if we stay here any longer.
*Katherine and Luke are sitting by the heater in Katherine’s room. Luke is helping her warm up*
“You might want to get some warm clothes on. Should I take them out for you?” I asked
“Mhmm.” She replied back
I made my way towards her closet and picked out a grey sweater with "die young" written on it and a fresh pair of trousers which seemed comfortable and warm enough
*Katherine’s POV*
I have no idea why I got so upset about Claire being with him. I know I overreacted on it. But thankfully, Luke was helping me warm up in my room now. I felt so weak. As if I couldn’t even move a single limb.
“Are these clothes okay?” Luke asked me.
I knew it would cause a lot of energy to reply back so I just went with shaking my head in approval.
“Can you umm, can you umm change by yourself?” Luke asked, a little embarrassed and therefore he was looking down at the floor and was biting his lip.
“Umm I don’t…I don’t think so.” I replied back which was probably the most truthful thing I have ever said in my life. Honestly, I wondered how I would even get my hand up. Getting soaked and wet by the rain really blows off my energy.
“Should I… umm should I help you change then?” Luke asked me, looking even more nervous now as he ran a hand through his hair.
“Yea, if you’re alright with it” I replied back, feeling really uncomfortable now myself.
“Alright then” he told me and made his way towards me
I could feel his warm hands sliding my shirt off of my head. He put his hands on my shorts and took those off of me too. Now I was only wearing my undergarments which were probably wet too but there was no way I was going to change those too.
For a second, I looked at his face and saw his eyes, the blue in his eyes was darkening. No way, it must’ve been my imagination. His mouth formed a straight line and his face was paler than ever. For some reason Luke was just sitting there, not putting the sweater on me. He felt what was left of what I was wearing.
“You can’t change now. You’re wet. Like your undergarments, they’re wet” He said quickly.
“So I just sit here? Waiting for them to dry up by the heater?” I asked
“Yea, I guess.” He said back
This was going to get extremely uncomfortable. I turned my way towards the heater and tried heating up. Luke and I sat in silence for a few minutes. From the corner of my eye, I looked at him and noticed that he was looking at me! I felt a rush of happiness enter my body as I noticed that. Before I knew it, Luke ran towards my bathroom and came back with a towel.
“Wrap this around yourself” Luke told me, handing me the towel.
Oh. So that’s why he was looking at me. He was probably wondering what to get for me to cover myself with.
“I think I’m dry now” I blurted out after a couple of minutes of extreme silence and awkwardness.
“Ya, okay” he said and with that, he took off the towel from me and slid the sweater on me. He grabbed my trousers and put those on me too. The touch of him sent shudders down my body.
“Do you want soup?” He asked me
“Don’t bluff. We all know you don’t know how to make anything apart from heating toast” I giggled
He chuckled back and the surroundings became light instantly. He wrapped me in his arms and kissed my forehead.
“I love you Katherine” he whispered in my ear.
Obviously he meant the brother-sister love but the way he said it sent shivers down my body. Instantly, I began to feel my cheeks heat up.
“Oh will you look at that? Who knew I could make you blush?” He joked as he stared down into my face
I laughed.
“Go to sleep Luke” I giggled and he unwrapped his arms from me
“Your wish is my command” he winked and left my room
