WAYWARD - L.H

ten

"Luke! where are we going? stop yanking my arm! its going to fall off!" I whined trying to pull away.

"Shut up, Scott!" and with that statement I just closed my eyes and let him drag me along.

A few more moments, I found myself inside his apartment.

"What are we doing here?" I snapped.

He didn't answer me but he sat me on the couch.

He went to the kitchen and rummaged on the. cabinets after a few moments he went back.

"I uh-I...do you want something to eat?" He asked,

I tilted my head sideways in confusion.

"Uh..no" I answered,

"Okay." He exclaimed, walking out of the house.

He freaking left me.

After I think an hour? He got back carrying loads of paper bags, "Scott! can you uh-help me?" He called out.

I lazily pull myself together and met him by the front door. I grabbed some paper bags and made my way to the kitchen,

"What the heck is all of this?" I asked placing the paper bags on the counter.

"Knick knacks"

"A what?"

"Food, can't you smell it?"

"How the hell can I smell it their all in vacuum packs" I scoffed.

He rolled his eyes at me, "Remind me again why were here?" I asked, its freaking 10 in the evening and I actually want to go home or I'll end up missing ANTM new episode.

"Would it be embarrassing if I ask you to stay with me tonight and we will have a sleep over?" He asked,

I laughed so hard until I can't hardly breathe, "Oh my god! what are you? 10?" I retorted,

"Go on, mock me. I'm just trying to be friendly. I know I was a jerk-"

"Still is" I interrupted,

He sighed, "I know I was a jerk but I'm trying to reach out for you. Can we just start over and reset everything? I'm sorry, okay?!"

"Ok" I answered, what else can I do? He said he was sorry. Why don't we give this a try and give him a little time. He seemed, sincere. By the look in his eyes he wasn't lying.

He started setting things up. He grabbed DVDs from his room, which made me curious because I want to know what his room looks like. I've known him for so long but I haven't been into his room.

At first I was really pissed at him but as time goes by, times like this...it made my heart softened for him like, I think I should help him with something or whatever. I sat on the couch all tensed and bored but as time goes by I started to become at ease like I started to become comfortable.

Luke came back after setting everything up. He came to me carrying loads of pillows and a comforter. He was literally juggling everything as he embrace all of it on his chest and he literally looks cute because he was forcing himself to carry all of it at the same time.

"Oh my god, can you help me a little?" He spoke,

I giggled and stood up, I grabbed some pillows from him and placed it on the couch still wondering why he didn't just plopped all of it beside me.

He walked past me and into the kitchen to I don't know? drink a glass of water? he came back and placed a CD into the player and plopped himself back into the couch so I sat beside him...not beside him beside him I was at least 2 feet away from him.

"What movie did you put in?" I finally asked,

"50 first dates" He shrugged,

"I uh-"

"Don't tell me you've already watched this?"

"I haven't I mean..what is it about?"

"I'd tell you but then I have to kill you. Just watch it, okay?"

I was about to start another arguement with him but decided to against it. I think its going to be a good night for the both of us even tho its going to be awkward so I didn't respond.

In the middle of the movie my heart started to warm with the movie because I want to feel the love Lucy feels I mean, how much love can she get every single day as this guy makes her fall in love with him again over and over every single day. I started to tear up and sniffle and I can feel Luke gazing at me.

"Are you okay?" He asked, his voice was a little husky because we haven't said a single word since the movie started which was an hour ago.

I nodded and sniffled again. He made his way closer to me and hugged me which took me by surprise.

"L-Luke I-"

"Shhh" He exclaimed making me shut it and just allowed him to hug me with the reason that I don't even know what he was doing.

It felt weird and surreal but I couldn't deny that I liked it. I like it when Luke is cheesy, I like it when he bickers with me even with stupid little things, I like it when he goes all mysterious and I like it when I'm the only person he allows to let in into his life.

"You make me feel weird..in a good way" He exclaimed, his lips brushing thru my hair.

I felt this shock..electric shock being sent down to my spine. I liked it but it was wrong.

I pulled away from him.

"I'm sorry this is wrong. I mean, Luke..you can't just do that. I have a boyfriend" I sighed

"I know I wasn't trying to do anything I was just trying to be- trying to be.. I don't know?! goddammit I hate it when you-" He didn't finished his point but he just stared at his lap while he brush the back of his neck,

"When I? what?"

He whispered something but I didn't understood it.

He sighed, "Do you need a ride home?"

I nodded it was past 1 o'clock in the morning I'm sure as hell that there's no way I'm going to find a ride.

He grabbed his keys from the center table and turned the TV off.

He stood up and so did I. We made his way to the car as I trail of behind him.

The wind is cold and you can only hear the crickets chirping.

He started the car's engine as I claimed in.

The whole car ride was silent. The only thing I could hear is the clank of the metal every time Luke change into gears. I wasn't trying to be awkward the whole time but I cant help it. I can feel that his mad but I don't even know why and I have this urge inside me to ask it to him but I can't because knowing Luke, I'm sure that we will just start another argument and I'm tired of it so I resisted.

After minutes of driving we arrived in front of my apartment unit. I stepped out of the car and just like that he drove off. He was obviously pissed at me and I want to make it up to him or whatever. I think I'll just have to wait for tomorrow and see what will happen.
