Naughty Brother: A Luke Hemmings story

12

Haley's POV

I'm angry and disgusted with myself! Michael Clifford,  the sweetest,  caring and most affectionate boy I know loves me.

He even wrote the sweetest letter to me expressing that love,  and here I was. Beating a punching bag to death with five finger death punch blaring in my ears.

Why am I feeling this way? This is a grown man if 21 and I'm 18 for one. Two I have a boyfriend! Three... He has a girl already. I hear them all the time.

I punch the bag senseless imaging that its filled with all the horrible nasty things I think about doing with Luke. I need to think about doing these kinds of things with Michael!

Or how about not at all? I kick, punch, jab and knee the punching bag until I can't anymore. I go to the mini fridge in the far corner of the spacious gym and gulp down a whole bottle.

I close my eyes and images of Luke flash through my mind. "I'm not done." I whisper to myself as I grab another water bottle and head for the treadmill.

I don't know how long I've been on this machine but I'm running as fast as I can,  controlling my breathing or trying to. It was time to cool down.

I start 'cool down' mode and pace myself. When the treadmill finally stops, I collapse.

Luke's POV

I get up at 7am and get dressed for my workout. I pass Haley's room and see she's not in there. She must be upstairs too.

I walk in prepared and in quite a good mood to see Haley, but what I find almost gives me a heart attack.

"Haley?" Her body was slumped on the floor. I run to her and shake her. Her body moves a bit. I look around and see a water bottle a few inches away from us.

I grab the bottle,  open it and lift Haley into my arms so I can get the water down her throat. She swallows and coughs. Her green eyes look up at me, then she looks around. "Luke?" She whispers.

"You gave me a real scare." She sat up and I helped her up.

"Are you alright?" I ask her. 
"Yeah, I just over worked myself is all."

I frown at her. "Did you eat something before you started? " Haley sighs and shakes her head.

"Damn it Haley!  You're gonna hurt yourself if you keep doing that! " I yell at her. 

"I'm sorry. I'll go eat something ok?" She says and I nod as I watch her leave. That fucking girl man. What am I gonna do with her?

Haley's POV

I slowly walk downstairs to the kitchen. I look in the refrigerator and grab the milk to make me a bowl of cereal.

I ate slowly but as soon as the food hit my stomach I became ravenous. I really shouldn't let myself get like this.

After my second bowl,  I wash my bowl out and put the dishes away.

I went back to my room and checked my clock. It's 7:45am. I don't know what time it was when I went to work out but,  it must've been a long time.

I have work in 5 hours so I'm going to get as much sleep as I can before then.

I wake up to my alarm and I feel like shit. I'm so tired and all I want to do is fall back asleep. I force myself up and take a cold shower to wake myself up.

After that I dress in a simple all black outfit, put on eyeliner and mascara and put my hair in a messy bun. This is as good as its gonna get today.

I grab my purse and head downstairs.
"Haley! Need a ride to work?" Luke asks out of nowhere.

I shake my head. "I'll ask my mom." I say.
"She's at work. " I look at him shocked. "When did she get a job? " I ask.
"She works for my dad." I nod. "Well,  I'll walk. "

"No way!  Not after what you already went through. Plus you'll be late." Luke says. I sigh knowing he's right.

I sigh. "Ok let's go." I walk outside towards his car and wait by the door.

Luke comes out a few minutes later with his key and locks the front door before unlocking the door.

We get in and drive towards town. I looked out the window the whole time.

"How are you feeling? " Luke asks and I shrug. "I feel ok. Better than earlier. I'm just tired."

"Why didn't you sleep last night?" Luke asks.

"I just couldn't, so I went to work out. That always tires me out."

"Yeah, no kidding." Luke scoffs and I roll my eyes.

We pull up to the salon and I thank him. "I'll be here to pick you up later ok? " Luke says and I nod.

I head inside,  the whole time feeling his eyes on me. When I finally got inside I felt so much better.

"Haley!" Lauren calls me. I look at her at reception and she smiles while waving excitedly at me.

I smile at her and make my way to the break room. I check around to see if all the supplies are stocked and nothing needs to be refilled.

As I'm cleaning the counter I hear Lauren come in giggling. "Haley! I need to introduce you to someone."

I turn around and see Lauren with another girl by her side. The girl was very pretty with blonde hair that stopped just below her shoulders. She had an athletic build, you could tell by her legs and thighs that she focuses on her legs and butt the most.

Her brown eyes stared at me confused and I frown. "Haley, this is Tiffany. She's one of our top stylists. She wasn't here when you came to apply."

I shake her hand. "Haley? Your name sounds familiar. Nice to meet you. " I smile at her. "Same here."

"Well,  I have a client on the way, I'll see you later. " She waves and I get back to cleaning.

"So... Do you wanna hang after work? I know it's weird me being the boss's daughter and all but,  it would be so cool. " Lauren gushes and I smile.

"I don't know. I'll see how I feel after work ok? " Lauren nods. "Well, I'll let you get back to it then."

She skips out of the room and I get back to tidying up.

The shift to take forever to end, so when it finally did I was rushing out the door. "Haley! " Lauren calls.

I turn around and smile. "Are you up to hang? " She asks.

"I'd like to,  but I'm exhausted. Let's try some other time though. "

Lauren nods. "I completely understand. Well,  have a good day. " She walks off to where Anne is waiting and I turn to see Luke leaning against his car with his hands around the waist of...

"Haley,  you ready? " Luke asks with a smile. Tiffany turns around, a look of realization shines on her pretty face.

"No wonder your name sounded familiar. Your going to be Luke's sister. " She says and I nod.

"Cool. I hope he's not too much of an asshole to you. " She smiles and for some reason, I want to slap it off.

"Well,  I have to go Lukey. Can I come over later? " She asks in a voice that makes me want to gag.

"I'll text you. " Is all he says. Tiffany pouts but agrees. She turns to me and waves.  "Nice finally meeting you. " She gives a friendly wave then leaves.

Luke turns to me and smiles "Ready?"
