Friends|| l.h.

Chapter 3

I stayed still until I knew Luke was asleep.

Did he just say that he would never hurt me? And if he did what does that mean? Does Luke have feelings for me more than a friend?

I planned on sleeping but with two big things happening to me in one day there is no way I'm going to be able to. I slid my way out from under Luke and walked to the kitchen. I got a glass of water and sat down at the counter.

So in one day I find out that my boyfriend has been cheating on me and that my best friend of 11 years might like me. Well this isn't over whelming at all (sarcasm)

I just stared at the counter and blanked out, lost in my own little world. I didn't know what to do. If Luke really did like me, then what would that do to us

I used to be head over heels for Luke and I do admit I find him attractive, but what would these feelings do to our friendship.

I need to figure out if I'm going to tell Luke that I heard him or not. I also need to figure out if I want to feel this way or not eventually. Right now I don't want anything to do with guys except to be friends with them.

I don't know how long I was spacing out because when I finally came back into the real world Luke was up.

"Hey Kass, you alright?" Luke asked walking over to me

"Umm yea, just thinking about some things"

Should I do it now? I kept thinking

Finally I gained up enough courage to do it. I mean what else do I have to lose today.

"Luke, um can I ask you something?"

"Yea. Sure. What is it? Are you ok?" He said with new concern in his voice

"Yeah I'm fine. I just want to ask you about something"

Luke nodded staring at me. There's no turning back now

"Ok. Here it goes. When we were laying over there a little bit ago, I think you thought I was asleep and you said something that kind of caught my attention"

Luke's face went blank. He knew exactly what I was talking about.

"You said that you'd never hurt me. I don't know what you meant by that"

"...... I-I just meant that I would never hurt you like he did"

"But does that mean that you like have feelings for me or something" I said a bit harshly even though I didn't try it. I guess I was just confused and still emotional.

"I didn't expect you to hear that. I knew I shouldn't of said that you just broke up with your boyfriend and I thought you were sleeping..... If you don't feel the same it's fine. I knew that it was wrong to say it because if you found out, which you already did, it could ruin our friendship. And that's more important to me then some stupid feelings"

"They're not stupid..."

Luke immediately looked up from the floor. Confused and shocked at the same time. He walked closer to me and stared down at me. Luke is probably a good 5 inches taller.

Something came over me that I couldn't explain. Everything in me was telling me to kiss him.

I gently put my hands on the sides of his face and pulled him down, softly pressing his lips to mine. He put a hand on the side of my check and rubbed his against it.

I didn't kiss him because I felt bad or because I needed a distraction. I kissed him because my heart knew it was right and wanted to.

The kiss wasn't heated at all. It was passionate. Our lips molded to each other's and moved in sync. I haven't had many kisses, maybe with 4 or 5 other guys, but this one was different. It made me feel wanted and also like I was somewhat needed.

We both pulled away and stared each other in the eyes, my hands still on his face and him hand on mine. I smiled a little and looked down. Luke was bright red and was trying to hold back a grin.

I never thought that I would have feelings for Luke, let alone kiss him, but here I am. This moment made me forget about all of what happened today.

Luke pulled me into a hug and rested his head in my shoulder. All I wanted was to stay in this position all day. It made me feel safe like nothing could hurt me.

"I meant what I said, about never hurting you" Luke said, looking down at me again

"I know. Just right now I don't wanna get into anything else considering what just happened"

Luke unwrapped his arms around me and held me by my shoulders

"What do you mean? Don't you like me too?" He asked.

"Well obviously I do considering what just happened but do you remember what I told you that happened today"

"Of course I do but you can forget value him. How long do you need to get over him. I just confessed how I felt about you!" He said angrily

Frankly, I was getting pissed off. How does he expect me to forget about Ryan just like that. He was a huge part of my life for over a year.

"Luke I can't just hop into something else right now! You have to give me time to take a break and think about things!"

"You know what? Forget about it Kassidy, just forget this ever happened. I can't even be around you. Don't call me crying about your shit anymore" with that Luke grabbed his jacket and stormed out.

Did Luke and I just stop being friends?
