Irresistible

Chapter 6

Reese’s P.O.V.

I hurry to find something to wear, since I didn’t plan on going in my yoga pants and sweatshirt. Even though I love those comfy clothes, I want to look somewhat decent. I feel the need to look good around those boys. In high school I usually never cared about my outward appearance or what boys thought of me, but here in college it’s like a new life for me, a new beginning, where I can start all over, so I want to make it better. I want to be happy.

I decide to wear a pair of jeans and my favorite black t-shirt, a band shirt from the neighborhood, that has their logo printed on it in white. I quickly do my make up, which only consists of a little winged eyeliner, mascara and some tinted lip balm and redo my messy bun. Just as I am about to put my shoes on, there is a knock on my door followed by some voices. I finish tieing my vans and rush out of the door, where I nearly run into a chest. Before I collide with the familiar Nirvana shirt, I can stop and look up to meet the blue eyes that I have just met yesterday. I must admit that I have never - ever, in my entire life - seen as piercing blue eyes as Luke’s. I haven’t noticed until now that Luke grabbed me by my wrists to prevent me from falling. His gentle, but yet tight grip leaves marks where his large hands have been before, together with an unfamiliar hot tingle. My body completely works on his own, as it reacts to Luke’s touch. Another thing, that I haven’t had the chance to experience yet. However, I don’t know if I’m ready for it yet either.

After what seems like an eternity, I am pulled out of my trance that was basically caused by a stranger - a beautiful stranger. While Calum, Ashton and Michael almost already made it to the elevator, Luke and I had a staring contest.

“Are you coming or what?”, Ashton yells from the elevator.

At the same time Luke and I jump, probably because we were so into looking, no, more like staring at each other. My stomach turns and tingles, but in a good way. We make our way to the elevator where we meet Calum, Michael and a huffing Ashton. The elevator door closes and I’m once again pushed against Luke, but this time with my back to his chest. I can literally feel his eyes lingering on me like they want to burn a hole through my head. When I look up I see him looking at me like I thought he would. He smiles at me with his bright white teeth like a child in a candy shop and I just can’t not mirror him. The moment my mouth spreads into an even wider grin, Luke’s smile widens even more what surprises me, because I didn’t think it was possible to smile even wider. Again, we are in our own little bubble, just staring or smiling at each other without saying a word, however the bing of the opening elevator door makes our bubble burst. I step out, following Michael, Calum and Ashton. Luke is following me closely and within seconds he has caught up with me, due to his long legs, walking right next to me.  

We all exit the building and stroll to the nearest subway station. Without knowing where we are heading, I just follow the guys and let them surprise me.

About half an hour later we are all laying on a big blanket, that Calum apparently carried in his backpack, in some kind of park in the Upper West side of Manhattan. The sun is shining brightly and every so often a cool breeze comes by, making the weather bearable. After a while I feel my eyes getting heavy and I am slowly drifting into a short nap…, well I thought it was short, because when I woke up, Calum, Michael and Ashton were gone. Luke was laying right next to me, still sleeping like a baby. I gently tried to wake him up by swaying his upper body. Shortly after his eyes blinked a few times and finally he opened them slightly.

After what sounded like a grumble, he asked me “Where are the others?”.

I chuckled and replied “Good question.. Next question?”,

“ugh.. Oh well, I guess they just left without us.”,

“Yeah, we both fell asleep”,I laughed to myself and let my body fall back down on the blanket, however I accidently landed really close to Luke. What surprised me was that he just laid down again as well and as if it was a normal thing to do he slung his arm around my shoulders, so that my head was laying on his biceps. I took a sideway glance at him and saw him slightly blushing, or was he just sunburned? .. I don’t know, but I do know that I felt a small tingle down in my stomach.

But anyways, after an hour or so, we got up from our comfortable position and made our way back to the dorms. I must say, that I really enjoyed only having Luke’s company. Boys were never an interest for me, at least not since I can remember, but I guess times change, because I feel like they are less bitchy, and way less complicated.

That night I dreamed of gold blonde hair and piercing eyes as blue as the ocean and sky, and also of picnic blankets and biceps.
