Luke’s pov (holla)
Even though she said ‘somewhere new’ I took her to my place again. Technically it was new to her due to the fact that the last time she got here, she was wasted and when she left the morning after, she was too pissed to take a good look at the house. We climbed up the stairs and I led her into my room.
‘’Your room looks much different than the last time.’’ She pointed out as she sat on the edge of my bed.
‘’Do you even remember how my room looked the last time you were here?’’ I leaned against the wall opposite of her and connected my eyes with hers. Her eyes had a very strange shade of green. They were extremely light but at the same time they had a ring of hazel around the pupils. We stood like that, staring into each other’s eyes, for a few minutes. It’s like we had a little staring contest and apparently I won, cause she looked away.
‘’Hey Luke?’’ She said and our eyes met once again. I’m guessing she choose to ignore my previous question. I would too, if I was her.
‘’Yes?’’ She patted the place on the bed next to her and that was my cue to come there, which I did.
‘’Thank you.’’ She declared, looking straight to the wall in front of us with a blank expression on her face.
‘’What for?’’
‘’For everything.’’ She looked over to me and gave me the softest smile ever. I couldn’t help but return it. I gently put my arms around her, as I was afraid to break her, and pulled her into a hug. She instantly hugged me back and she rested her head on my chest. I tried to steady by breathing, but her being this close to me made my heart race like crazy. She had that strange effect on me and it was really irritating me. I’m not the relationship kind of guy and I never will be one, but she’s making me rethink my choices. And I was absolutely sure that she would never consider having a real relationship with me, because of all the shit she heard about me, but it was nice knowing that although I can’t have her the way I want to, I still can have her this near to me. She suddenly pulled away from the hug and made an eye contact with me. Her eyes looked pleading and it made my heart skip a beat once again. I leaned in and pressed a soft kiss on her forehead.
‘’You are so cliché Lucas’’ She breathed out.
‘’It’s in my nature’’ I rested my forehead on hers and our noses were touching. The tension between us was unbearable and I wanted to kiss her so damn hard. But I didn’t. Not because I was scared to, it was just because I was afraid to hurt her. She was as fragile as a flower and she looked like she could be broken just by a simple touch.
‘’Hey Luke?’’ She repeated her sentence from earlier.
‘’Yeah?’’
‘’Will you kiss me or what?’’ I let out a small giggle before slamming my lips onto hers. It felt even better than it did the last time. Probably because she wasn’t drunk as a sailor. Her lips moved in the sync with mine and I felt an explosion of fireworks in my stomach. It was like a summer rain. Fresh and relaxing. I slowly licked her bottom lip, asking for her permission to slid my tongue inside of her mouth. She parted her lips and that’s when the kiss became even better than it was before. She put her arms around my neck and I putted mine around her waist. I slowly pulled us on the bed, without breaking the connection. I had my fair share of kisses over the years ,but I would be lying if I said that Katherine wasn’t my absolutely best. It seems like she was a skilled kisser as well. The thought of her kissing someone else made my stomach do a flip, but I decided to ignore the thought and to enjoy this moment right now.
‘’Luke’’ She moaned as she pulled away from me. As soon as the words left her mouth, I decided that my name sounds the best when she says it. And I wish someone recorded her moaning so I can play it on replay when she’s not around.
‘’I can’t do this.’’ The words hit me like a bus hit Regina George.
‘’Y-you can’t do what?’’ I stuttered. I’m praying to God that she won’t refuse me in any form, because I’m not sure if I’ll be able to handle it.
‘’I can’t do us Luke. I just can’t. I’m so sorry.’’ I shut my eyes close. I can’t believe this is happening.
‘’Why not?’’
‘’I-I’m afraid.’’ Her words made my eyes instantly open so they could meet hers. She can’t be afraid of me.
‘’Of what?’’ I bit my bottom lip.
‘’Of falling for you.’’ She breathed out.
‘’Why?’’ I know I’m probably being pushy, but I need to know.
‘’You will break my heart’’ She declared calmly.
‘’I won’t.’’ I protested. I would never break her heart. Hurting her would be like stabbing a sword into my stomach. What is this girl doing to me?
‘’You will Luke. We both know that you will.’’ To be quite honest, I did break a few hearts, but Katherine is different. She doesn’t deserve to have her heart broken. Especially not by a douchebag like me.
‘’Just give me a chance Katherine. I’ll prove you wrong.’’ I begged.
‘’I can’t. I’m sorry.’’ The tears were rolling down her cheeks and the sight of that made my heart stutter. I putted my arms around her and pulled her into another hug. She was sobbing against my chest. I run my hand through her hair and begged all mighty forces that she would stop crying. I just wanted to know why was she so broken. And I wanted to know who broke her. Just so I can fly to Africa and beat the shit out of him.
‘’Katherine’’ I pleaded against her hair. She didn’t say anything which made me repeat her name until she pulled away from me and pointed her beautiful eyes directly into mine.
‘’I would never do anything to hurt you Katherine, I swear on my life.’’ Swearing on your life. Smart thing to say Luke, bravo.
‘’Promise me Lucas. Promise me that you won’t break me?’’ She begged.
‘’I promise you. I’ll fix you Katherine.’’
‘’I like it better when you call me Africa’’ She smiled and I felt relieved.
‘’Whatever you say Africa.’’ She laughed and put her arms around my neck.
‘’Hey Luke?’’ She said for the third time tonight.
‘’Yes?’’
‘’Your cheesy side is showing’’ She giggled and I rolled on top of her which made her giggle even more.
‘’Is that so?’’ She nodded and I started tickling her stomach.
‘’LUKE STOP!’’ She yelled through laughter and I did what she asked. I leaned closer and our foreheads connected.
‘’I like you.’’ I breathed out.
‘’I like you too’’ She said and with that I pulled her into a kiss.
