18) Shades of Blue

          I woke up with the light from the window waking me up. I see Luke making a coffee with the machine that the hotel provided for us.

"We're in Paris. We could just go for a morning walk and get some coffee at a café or something."

"Yeah, but somebody decided to sleep in until noon so those plans have been cancelled" he retorts back with a bit of cruel sarcasm.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know it was noon."

"Yeah clearly, if you did you would be up by now." He automatically snaps back again. He had this cold look on his face almost as if he was mad at me. It's Luke though, he can't be mad at me.

"Are you mad at me?" I ask him trying my best not push anymore buttons.

"Why would I be mad at you?" He asks, his mood softening almost immediately.

"Because all of a sudden you were so pissed off for no reason, I'm sorry I didn't wake up but it's vacation and vacation to me is sleeping in." I retort back showing him I didn't like his previous behaviour.

"No please, be my guest. Sleep.  Sleep all  you want." He looks at me coldly and walks out of the room, hair messy and curly and leaving his freshly made coffee behind him.

"Don't mind if I do" I whisper to myself as I grab the drink and sip it. As the warm beverage touches my lips I turn my body to be startled by a woman coming  off the bed. My heart starts beating normal again when I realize it's just Liz.

"I forgot you were here" I tell her, explaining the reason for my mini heart attack.

"It's ok dear. Do you at least have an idea why Luke is all grumpy?"

"No. Yesterday this guy offered for me to come to university here because apparently I spoke and it deeply touched his soul or whatever, so he gave me a card for school here and Luke told me I can't go and I was kind of offended but I never even confronted him about it yet and he just started this attitude now." I try to explain as simple as I can.

"Did he notice that you were upset?"

"I think so. Because after he was acting sympathetic"

"So he noticed. He probably was thinking about it too much last night and came up with the idea that you're upset, he said no because you were actually considering coming here and leaving him after everything he has done to be with you."

"Why are mothers so wise?"

She chuckles. "not wise, I just know my son"

"I thought I did too."

She comes to rub my back to comfort me.

"Sweetheart. Tell him. Tell him how you weren't going to leave but also tell him he doesn't have the right to make your decisions for you. Talk to him. But there is one thing I need to ask you if I'm going to help you at all in this. He has his fathers eyes, so if he's anything like his father, you would be able to see something in his eyes. Last night when he looked at you after you got upset, what emotion was he showing?"

It's crazy how right of the bat she knew he couldn't hide his emotions through his eyes.

"They just looked beautiful, like they always are. They made me feel better just by looking at them."

"So they aren't what he felt? Just how you wanted to feel?"

"I guess" I say with hesitance in my voice. She made it sound as if I was being selfish. That wasn't my intention.

"There are only two explanations. Either one, he is so consumed in you that he literally feels what you need to feel to give off to you, or-"

"I was not planning on making him feel like he needed to pity me!" I cut her off with too much attitude.

"Sweetheart just hear me out"

"NO! I wouldn't  do that to him!" I screamed.

"Then what were the colour of his eyes?"

"Pardon?"

"If you were truly looking for a hint of him in his eyes, what was the colour? What shade of blue?" She asks a little clearer and calmer this time around.

"An icey pale blue" I respond, really quite confident in my answer.

"Oh honey, it wasn't Luke's eyes you were looking at."
