Later than usual, but here I'm. Currently enjoying the environment to the point I burned myself from the sun 😂. I look like a red crab, but it's fine. Tomorrow is another work day, so I had to live through most these 2 days. Enjoy ^.^

(Delirious POV)
"What are you doing?"

I jumped and screamed in surprise, as Luke walked in without any signs of his presence. I was currently holding my old phone in my hands, trying to find Oliver's number.

"W-what? You were taking a shower," I replied, hiding the phone behind my back.

"I was. Do you need something here?" Luke asked suspiciously.

"No. I was just looking for you, but then I remembered you were taking shower, so I wanted to go back to my room, but you just appeared and scared the hell out of me," I said, quickly walking pass by him with the phone hidden in the pocket of my jeans.

"Evan texted me," Luke called after me, making me turn around.

What?

"Are you having a nightmares? You can sleep with me if you want," Luke continued, after he was sure I got his full attention.

"What did he texted you about?" I asked, being too curious.

"Only to look after you at nights when you have a nightmares, obviously. You haven't told me about them," Luke said, and I nodded.

"I-I don't have them anymore. It was at the nights when I was sleeping over Evan's. I think it was some negative aura," I lied, continue walking to my room.

"I hate when you're lying to me."

I closed the door behind me, sighing loudly. I felt relieved that Luke didn't catch me with my old phone, but at he same time I was feeling so bad for doing this behind his back.

Why did Evan texted Luke this? Why does he even care?

I sat down on he bed, unlocking my phone. There were a dozens of missed calls and text messages from different people. I swiped them all away, looking for Oliver in the contact list.
Once I was successful, I used my new phone, texting him.

J: Hey! So about that friendly meeting, when you're free?
-Jonathan

As I hit send, I looked at the door, waiting for Luke to open the door. I was so nervous and so afraid, like I was going to murder somebody.

C'mon! Reply.

O: You have a new number? We can meet today, if it's not too late for you.

Alright. What am I going to say to Luke?

J: Sounds good. Where tho?

O: I said friendly meeting, so what do you say about a coffeehouse? It can be your choosing.

I smiled to myself, a slight spark of hope filling my soul that maybe Oliver did change.

Starbucks is a great choice. There's Lui in there, he'll protect me if Oliver tries something.

J: Starbucks on the corner, right next to the mall. At 7 pm sounds good?

O: Perfect. 7 pm, I'll be waiting.

I nodded my head, even though he couldn't see it. I put my head on the wall, looking up at the ceiling. I wasn't really sure or happy with the decision I made, but at the same time I felt like this was some sort of compensation for Evan.
