I Guess So || Luke Brooks

Remember When ➼ .25

We're in his room, and he's unzipping my jumper. Never in a million years, had I thought that he would be undressing me. His finger tips slightly brushed my skin, giving me goose bumps and causing me to arch my back. I thought back to the way we sat in the car, we as in I and Luke. His fingers would wrap around my waist and his thumbs digging into my lower back.

I pulled away and let the jumper drop, slipping into one of his t-shirts and a pair of sweats.

I made my way to the bathroom sink, ready to brush my teeth. I looked up in the mirror, horrified at the view. I wanted to smash the mirror. I had washed my makeup off already, and I was back to Alice. I brushed my teeth vigorously and angrily, feeling the base of the brush through the bristles at how much force I put in. I rinsed my mouth and tooth brush, doing nothing more than throwing it down at the sink and walking away in fits around the bathroom. I was pacing like a cat at the zoo. Why? Why did this rage suddenly wash over me?  I thought about this whole evening. I literally said the first things on my mind the whole night. I would've never ever enticed Luke in that way, or said that line as in chance was the only game I play with. I play with way more things. That's what flappy bird, temple run, nemo's reef, and those little strings at the bottom of my shorts were for, right? The list could go on. My lock button on my phone, spinning the rings around on my fingers, drumming my nails on the surfaces arou- You're getting off topic Alice. I spun around in circles, thinking. Just.. thinking.

Remember when you and Trevor used to push each other on the swings? And then when he took one at you? Simply because you refused to give yourself to him?

Remember when you'd fidget with your fingers and he'd tell you to stop? Remember two days before Halloween he'd shown up with a maid costume, not even for the party, and you ripped it to shreds and returned it back to him? What a consequence you payed at New Years.

Remember when you walked into a café, ready to order, and he canceled it as soon as you finished? Then taking you to a 'party' where he got you intoxicated? What if that happens tomor-

"What are you doing?" Luke giggled from the bathroom door. I stopped mid spin and almost tipped over from the world spinning around me. "Hmm?"

"Are you coming to bed or what?" He smiled sheepishly.

"Y-Yeah." I mumbled,strolling over into his arms. He kissed my forehead and my cheek, penguin  walking me over to bed. I let out a deep sigh as we hit the sheets.

"What is it babe?"

"You keep calling me babe."

"Sorry babe."

"I'm just gonna have to get used to it huh?"

"That's my babe." He finished. I couldn't help but grunt. My emotions were every where today. I didn't like it. From being so happy my face hurt to so angry I almost broke my tooth brush.

"I just didn't feel myself today." I explained.

"We all have those days though." He said, wrapping his naked torso over me.

"Yeah and I didn't like mine. I felt like a four year old on a sugar rush." I said. He let out a soft low chuckle. 

-

After moments of silence and me almost asleep, he stopped trailing his fingers up and down my side and mumbled in my ear, "Do you want to even go to the party?"

At first the question seemed off topic and out of the blue, but I could tell the reason for why he asked.

"Of course, you didn't spend all that money today for nothing. And plus, I'll actually have something to do and not sit around eating and watching movies and controlling my allergies." I replied, slowly and low.

"Yeah but.."

"Hmm?"

"What if you crash tomorrow?"

"Crash?"

"You know how you've been today, not that there's anything wrong with seeing you laugh non-stop and grin ear to ear or being out going, but you can't deny that you, well, we both know that you in general aren't like that. So tomorrow.. what if you come back.. hard?"

I knew what he mean't, and that in no way shape or form was he trying to come off offensive. Quite honestly, I knew that it just might happen.

It always does.

"I don't know. We've got you and every one else to thank for the booze so I'll use that."

"I'd say good idea but what if it's not. You know that it actually enhances everything? Like emotions and stuff?"

"Oh well."

He couldn't help but laugh slightly at my last words. I wouldv'e laughed too, but now I was thinking as I was falling asleep. Luke planted a kiss on my shoulder and then there we were,

falling fast asleep underneath the sheets.
