May-September Private Affair

Chapter XI

LUKE'S POV

I've been staring at the "ass" and Belle for God knows how long already. It's like adding salt to the wound but I couldn't stop. I wanted to know what kind of smile she gives when that Simon talks to her. How she flips her hair or even glance at him. I wanna know what is really going on between him and that guy because I want her. Oh God I really want her. I can't explain why, I just know I want her.

I saw the guy stood up and hugged Belle then pressed his lips on her cheeks and it lingered there. I so wanted to jump on his throat but I didn't want belle to get stressed over this plus guess he's saying good bye because Belle then gave a small wave as he started to walk and leave. He passed by me as he nears the exit.

'Gotta go Luke, Easy on the drinks'

I just gave him a stiff nod not hiding my frown and sour mood and started to walk towards Belle whose back is towards me clearing up the table.

'He left you so quickly' I told her as she continues to clear the table they used.

'What do you want Luke' she sounds exasperated and I didn't like it. She sounded defeated and I hate to think I'm causing her this.

'I-I'm Sorry' I didn't know why I said that but I felt it's fitting. I hate seeing her looked tired and stressed.

'You snobbing me. Forgiven. Now scoot I gotta get back to work' then she quickly walked away towards the back of the bar.

'Wait what! Me snobbing you?'I quickly walked after her not going to give her a chance to escape without her explaining what she means.

'Yeah you immature snob! You ignored me when I said thank you earlier at the elevator for fetching me' I stared at her dumbfounded. I didn't think she would get mad at that. I'm the one who have the right to be mad, she got a farkin man in her condo!

'You have that ass in your condo! How would you think I'll react?!' I cringed back at her.

'Huh?' She stared and blinked slowly

'That ass. In you condo.' I said like giving her a hint.

'You mean Si?'

'Yes, the ass! Who else!'

'Are u jealous?' She was looking at my eyes while she asked and for some reason I don't know what or how to answer.

'HUH?!' I asked. It was my turn now to get taken aback.

'You heard me. Don't let me repeat it' She said smirking.

'I'm outta here' and like a coward I walked away.

ISOBEL'S POV

I was still standing there staring at the door where Luke strutted out after asking him if he's jealous or not. I couldn't believe I said that. Did I just assumed he likes me and he's jealous? Oh God shoot me now. I wish the floor would just open up and swallow me whole!

My hands were both on my face while I cringe at the thought of what just happened when Jace entered the back kitchen.

'What's wrong with you?' He asked worriedly peering at my hidden face

'Luke. That's what's wrong' I whined.

'Oh yeah. I've been expecting this' Jace looks more at ease and smirking now.

'I just embarrassed myself in front of your nephew! I bet he's laughing at me now. An old hag like me just assumed that a handsome young guy like him likes me' I continued whining.

'Chill girl. You are not an old hag; and I'm betting he does likes you. Trust me, were related' with that remark Jace left and I'm again alone in the back kitchen with my self pity.
