May-September Private Affair

Chapter X

Luke's POV

'I came to get you, you ready?' Belle just stood there gaping at me. I didn't think she'd be this surprised but man, I don't know if it's a good surprise or not because there's something about it I couldn't seem to grasp.

'You can pretend you're happy to see me you know'

'I-I'm..yeah, of course'

I saw her grab a purse from a side table near her door and began to step out the door when he heard someone call her.

'Belle'

She glanced back inside and opened her door widely this time to step inside and talk to the owner of the voice. I couldn't help but follow her inside just a few steps from her door without being asked first if I could come in.

'Hey... you're awake. I'm in a hurry but I'll be at the bar, drop by before you leave?'

I don't know what to make out from what I'm seeing and hearing but I just found both my fist clenched tight and something inside me starts to boil. Belle's got someone in her condo and it's a farkin guy! I am not liking this at all.

'Oh hello there, I'm Simon and you are?' I heard the Mr. Fancy Pants say.

'Luke' I just shook his hands and say no more. I don't trust myself enough to open a conversation. Oh yes, I'm majorly pissed.

'He's Jace's nephew Si' I was waiting for her to explain who Simon is but she didn't and that pissed me even more. How come I'm tagged as the nephew and I get to know nothing about this fancy pants in Belle's condo?

..and Si? What kind of pet name is that? Lame.

We walked towards the elevator and descended in silence. I remembered the last time we're inside an elevator and I couldn't help but catch a few glances at Belle, when I saw a tinge of blush in her cheeks I know we're both thinking the same thing.

Man, she's hot. But that doesn't change the fact that I'm still pissed. How could she accuse me of playing her when she's the one hinding a guy in her condo.

'Thanks for coming to get me Luke' I heard Belle tell me, her voice is so soft and sincere I just want to kiss her. I could see her from the corner of my eye looking at me expectantly.

I didn't reply, didn't even look at her. Call it childish but I'm so mad I don't want to talk plus I'm confused. When did I get so riled up just by knowing that somebody I have hots for got a boyfriend? That didn't even stopped me before. Belle's stirring different emotions I haven't even felt before. I'm not sure I even like it. I admit she's special, but ain't all the girls I spent my time with special? I mean of course they are, if not I wouldn't even spare them a glance at all. I realized after a few seconds that I acted like a first class jerk but just when I'm about to apologize the elevator door opened and she hopped out in a hurry.

I wanted to talk to her as we wait for a cab, but her stiff demeanor tells me it's not wise. Now she's the one mad at me. I feel so stupid for treating her that way. I feel like I'm back to square one when I have to work it for her to be nice to me again. I am so farked up.

Isobel's POV

Luke is a jerk and immature. I shouldn't like him. And he's a kid which is the main reason why I shouldn't encourage these feelings I'm starting to have towards him.

Seeing Luke in my front door looking all too yummy made me just want to yank him inside and tangle my self around him like a vine and continue where we left off at the elevator. I gotta give him the credit, he's been really trying to get to know me. He's even here to take me to the bar. When's the last time James' fetched me from home so he could take me to work? The last year of our relationship has been nothing but fancy texting, apologizing for being busy, invalid reasons I may have overlooked because I was in love with him.
