I Guess So || Luke Brooks

Vumis ➼ .13

I sat next to a friend of mine, Jayla, whom I felt sorry for since we were friends, but we never talked to much outside of school.

"Hey." she smiled.

"Hey." I said, returning the smile.

I pulled out my pen and started doodling, waiting for Ms.Vumis. I liked her name for some reason. 'Vumis'.

She finally came to the board, and wrote 'FREE DRAW' . Alrighhttttt.

I flipped to a blank page and started drawing one of my favorite Disney villains.. Maleficent. I didn't really draw Maleficent... just kinda like a replica. And much younger and somewhat bold, slick, and feminine.

Class passed by kind of quick, better for me ;) .

I hoped into Luke's car as he dropped me off quickly, then hurried home himself.

*******FAST FORWARD*********

"LUKE WILL YOU PLEASE!" I giggled. He was chasing me around the house with a bra he found in my bag. It was a Lacey one too.

He slid it on and mocked me.

"Look at me! My name's Alice and I'm a 34C !"

Bitch what?

"Luke! You already memorized my bra size?! I'm flattered!" I said. We both flew into fits of laughter.

"Let's go get that ice cream." He insisted.

****************

"Two vanilla custards in a cone with rainbow sprinkles pleaseeee." I said.

"Here ya go, thanks an enjoy." she smiled.

I passed one to Luke and his eyes widened at the delicious ice cream in front of him.

We sat in the back seat of his car eating our ice cream... and then my ice cream dripped... on my, well, top of my breast. I made sure he wasn't looking and wipe it off. I licked the ice cream of the tip of my finger. Oh why did I chose to wear a tank top? Today?

I glanced over at Luke who was looking at me stunned. He saw me. He fucking saw me wipe ice cream of my chest.

"I-uh. Did you see that?" I said gluing my lips together and looking over at him.

"Um. Yea."

"Ok."

A few moments of silence before he couldn't help but laugh. Tears came to my eyes as I finished my ice cream. I began to feel embarrassed and low. I became suddenly so blunt and the life was drained out of me. He looked over at me and lunged to embrace me.

"Alice. Alice. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean- Alice I'm sorry." I shrugged out of his embrace and got into the passenger seat.

"L-let's go back to the house." I said through sobs. He too hopped into the front seat and immediately started the engine. He reached for my hand that was in my lap and held on to it while I lifelessly sat there sobbing and looking out the window.

In a matter of minutes we got out the car and I ran inside, changing, and packing my things.

I rushed all over the place until Luke grabbed my wrist and spun me aroud.

"Alice. Please." he begged. I couldn't stay here like this. Vulnerable. Crying for no reason. The ice cream incident didn't even bother me.

"Luke I can't. Not like this."

"Please. Let me take care of you. Why go home and be alone?"

Alone. Again.

My body moved into his as I cried harder an the tears doubled. He picked me up and carried me up the stairs, my legs wrapped around him.

He layed me on his bed and cuddled me into the blankets and sheets and pillows. He wrapped his body around mine and I continued my annoying habit. Crying and feeling horrible.

"Alice. You're going to be okay. I promise you, I'll be here. "

I clutched his shirt with my fists and gritted my teeth. I wiggled out of his body and ran to the window . The rain and thunder was going on dramatically. I leant against it and just watched the lighting flash it's veins.

I felt hands on my hips and a cold metal piece on my temple. I glanced at the clock. 9:27.

"Luke." My voice croaked.

I turned and looked up at him.

He touched his forehead with mine and picked me up, once more wrapping my legs around his waist,

carrying me to bed, where we slept safely in eachother's arms , snuggled into one another's body.
