Those Three Words - (Beau Brooks / Luke Brooks Fanfiction)

Chapter Thirty Three - Pre Barbeque Dance

"I love you too... Don't worry about it... I'll see you soon... Bye!" I always loved that call every few months that I got from my Mom back in England, it reminded me of home. She was apologising for not visiting yet, and I must say, it hurt not seeing her for Christmas considering it was he first time in 18 years. Talking to her also reminded me how confusing and fucked up my life actually is. Her voice kept me grounded and reminded me that I had somewhere to go if I ever hit rock bottom. And at that point in my life, I felt like I was so close to it.

As I hung up the phone, I got a text from Luke..

•Hey Bels, have you spoken to Beau? He seems pretty under the weather. Can't wait to see you today! X•

The last part made me smile, but I was only focused on the first bit. Beau was under the weather, in a bad mood, because of me. All I did was tell him straight, tell him what I thought of the situation, pretty fair right? Obviously Beau didn't think so, he believed he was the victim and felt 'picked on'.

I decided not to text back, as my mind just dwelled on the text he sent. 5 minutes passed and I still hadn't replied, I thought it was best not to. Soon enough, it left my mind about replying so Luke called me.

"Hey." I answered.

"Bels, what did you say to Beau?" He sounded concerned, not only for me though, for himself. I didn't answer because this was the last thing I needed at that moment. "Did you say anything about the cinemas?"

"Yes I did, why?" I didn't think what he was doing was right, it was like he was trying to interrogate me.

"I thought you didn't want him knowing? Now he's going to know we were there, he's going to know that we were together and out of pure hate and spite, he's going to tell Becca and ruin everything just like he always does!"

"Luke, will you stop? I didn't mention anything about you, you really think I would do that to you so soon after everything that's gone on?" I questioned his trust in me.

"No, you're right, sorry. I was just going to go into town to pick up some new clothes, something for today maybe, I could come to yours after to pick you up if you want?" He changed the subject quickly, knowing he was in the wrong.

"Sounds good, it will give me enough time to freshen up and change."

"Okay. Well, I should be setting off now, I'll text you later."

Luke's POV

"Okay bye hunnie."

It made me laugh how she called me hunnie, that's usually a guys nickname for a girl. She was so unique in ways I can't describe.

The reason I made that call was to clear things up and make sure she didn't say too much to Beau. I also made that call to just prove to Bella that I still cared for Becca, but deep down inside I didn't even believe it myself. I felt something for her, but I didn't get the flutter of butterflies in my stomach the way I did for Bella. I must admit, she deserved better and I was pulling a huge dick move on her.

I decided it would be best to take my time getting ready so that Bella wouldn't be caught off guard in her underwear again. But I would have loved to have seen her peachy bum running away from me one last time, and her small waist temping me to wrap my arms around it... What am I saying, I would have hated for that to happen again. Yeah...

After about an hour shopping around, I text Bels to say I was almost home. She just replied okay and a smiley.

I was so worried about how Beau would react to seeing Bella, but it was about time he saw her again to see what he was missing out on. He broke up with the best thing that ever happened to him, he just give up.

I approached the front of her house, when I got a glimpse of Bels dancing in the kitchen. She was making some sort of stir-fry in the pan, when she suddenly started booty popping. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen, the funniest side I've ever seen of her, the happiest I had seen her in a long time.

I really didn't want to interrupt, trust me, it was so hot and I wanted to go in there and squeeze her ass so tight and I would have loved to take her dress off from her and push my body against hers. But that would be inappropriate. I cleared my thoughts, my dirty thoughts, and made my way to the door.

Just as my fingertips reached the door handle, I took a deep breath and got goosebumps just thinking about her.

When I got in, I heard the familiar tune of Lolly by Maejor Ali, Justin Bieber and Juicy J. Of course, that would be that type of song she would booty pop to.

I slid my phone into my pocket and didn't let her know my presence until I reached the kitchen tiles. A laugh escaped my mouth seeing this side of her, I couldn't help it.

"Luke! You could have knocked!" She got so self conscious all of the time, even if she wasn't the best dancer nobody should ever have to feel like that.

"Please continue, you were killing it!" I said, smacking her bum softly.

At first she gasped and her hands reached up to her mouth, not offended but caught off guard.

"Only if you join me..." She never seized to amaze me, her smirk spread across her face.

I took her body towards my own and she placed both hands on my shoulders. It only felt right to put my hands on her lower back, who am I kidding? I was pretty much grasping her butt cheeks in each hand. Her cheeks flushed bright red and her head fell into the crease of my neck. It was an unusual position to be dancing in considering the song choice.

"... Know you ain't a model, you should let me take some pic though..." She sung along, moving her hips to the beat. I jokily sung back to her.

"...Windows down, speakers loud, look down at my sneakers now..." She followed the lyrics I just sung and looked down at my feet, her gesture surprisingly made me laugh.

"... Got so many features, I got creatures, it's depleted now..." She sung loudly and higher than Justin's ordinary tune. I knew her favourite bit was coming up so I released her 'lower back' and picked her up in my hands when her legs wrapped around my waist.

We both sung simultaneously, "50 for that necklace, look down at my setlist, GOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND AT MY CRIB WATCHING NETFLIX!" She got so into it, it put a smile on my face. Justin brought the best out in her, and her smile was like a gift from God.

She leaned in as if her lips were going to press against mine, but instead she pushed them against my jawline, giving me amazing shivers around all of my body, then onto my neck just below my ear lobe. Whenever she kissed that spot, my heart raced and I'm sure she knew that, I'm sure she could feel the chest speedily move up and down because she continued to do it every time we kissed.

She moved away from me but stay in my arms.

"Shall we set off after I've eaten my food?" She asked, completely moving away from the kiss.

"Are you not going to eat at the barbeque?"

"No, I don't really like barbeque food." She scrunched her nose as if the food was right in front of her.

"That's fine I guess... Will your food be ready soon, I was kinda hoping we could talk before we set off?" I asked her, afraid of her questioning me what about. I really wanted to clear up what was happening between us without sounding too unfaithful to Becca. The whole situation was pretty fucked up, she had two guys in her life and I had two women so it was all so complicated.

"Yeah about 5 minutes, what do you- sure." Luckily she stopped herself from asking, I'm guessing she could see the anticipation in my eyes and hear it in my voice.

"Thanks." I said awkwardly before walking over to the kitchen table and waiting for her to finish cooking.

When she had finished eating, I locked my phone and put it back on the table. She loaded her plate, pan and utensils into the dishwasher and rejoined me in the dining room.

"So... What did you want to talk about?"
