39 - "personal knowledge"

39 | Kai

3 days.

It had been 3 days since I had seen Luke and that's not actually his fault at all, the reason I had not seen Luke was because I was being paranoid as usual and somehow managed to convince myself that he'd either start getting bored of my company or my weird little quirks would start to annoy him somehow. We'd spent so much time together I felt as though we needed a break from each other, just to settle back into a usually boring college lives but I'd settled back in and all I was waiting for was a sign that he wanted to see me to.

Sure we texted each other but that didn't exactly let me know that he wanted to speak to me face to face, so I waited three days until he made plans with me to do something which he didn't so I just sat alone in my dorm watching reruns of friends on Netflix with an extra large bowl of popcorn to drown away my self pity.

Pitying myself was something I found out I was quite good at, I'd throw myself into either my bed or onto my sofa then proceed to eat until I felt better but I'd tend to go a little overboard sometimes and run out of food within and hour.

That's the exact situation that led me to the snack isle of the local supermarket, eyes running over the array of different popcorn flavours before ultimately picking up four packs purely because choosing one was too difficult.

I'd never felt more sorry for myself than the moment I was stood paying for my bags of popcorn in hello kitty pyjamas and a Pokemon face mask on, struggling to find the last 50p I needed to pay.

"I swear I have it, it's just I throw everything in here you know." I explained quite nervously, hands hastily sifting though my bag in an effort to find some extra money,

I felt the familiar shape between my fingers but even I could tell the man at the till was getting annoyed with me and I began to panic, resulting in me dropping my bag which just embarrassed me even further.

"Damn it." I groaned forcefully, dropping to my knees and sifting through the mess I'd created upon the floor,

My cheeks were scarlet red and I felt the strong urge to cry wash over my, though I bit my lip to hold back some very unwanted tears. I sighed as I threw my stuff into my bag before shooting back up onto my feet.

"Just put one back." I said finally, throwing my bag over my shoulder,

The man at the till nodded before grabbing one off of the checkout.

"Miss." I felt a delicate tap on my shoulder so I turned and was met with a familiar pair of blue eyes, "You dropped this."

I looked down as he held out his hand and there lay a pound coin in his palm, I smiled and picked it up between my fingers.

"Thank you."

"50 Shades?" Luke chuckles to himself as he sits down on one of the two seaters in my living room, his eyes are trained on the tv screen that I had paused just before leaving, "What would your mother say?"

I shrugged as I placed my four bags of popcorn down on the counter, "She'd probably ask me to record it so she could watch it later, cause let's admit it no one can resist Christian Grey."

"I can." Luke mumbled to himself before pulling his feet up on the sofa, essentially just making himself comfortable,

I grabbed a large bowl from one of the top cupboards before filling it with one of the four bags of popcorn, the one I thought Luke would probably prefer. He'd basically saved me from possibly the worst experience of my life but I hated that I'd now have to come up with a way to repay him for it.

I looked over my shoulder to see him browsing through the TV guide and I raised my eyebrows slightly, "Oi! We're watching 50 Shades thank you very much."

He whipped around to face me, a look of pure shock on his face but he somehow also managed to look a little disgusted which kind of made me want to crawl into a deep hole and live in there forever.

"I'm not watching this junk." He complained, forcefully throwing an arm up to point towards my tv screen,

"Well it's my house so I choose what we watch."

"But I saved you."

"No excuses Luke, now pass me the remote." I held a hand out in front of me and Luke let out a huff as he dropped the remote into my hand, a triumphant smile took over my face, "Now get comfortable, we may be a while, I have all three recorded."

An obnoxiously loud groan left Luke's mouth and I had to purse my lips to contain a laugh.

* * *

I don't exactly remember when but at some point during the end of the first movie I'd fallen asleep, not in one of those deep sleeps where I could not be woken no matter how hard the person tried but more like the half awake type asleep. I could still hear Luke trying to come up with reasons as to why Christian Grey wasn't as daddy material as he'd been pegged out to be, but I knew secretly he was just the tiniest bit intimidated.

"Would you want to be spanked with a belt." My eyes shot wide open in shock as the words left Luke's words, I stared up at him as a scene played in the background clearly visualising what had caused Luke to blurt out this rather raunchy question,

I attempted to compose myself, keyword attempted, I couldn't help the warmth that spread across my cheeks like a wildfire. My chest tensed ever so slightly and I bit my lip to refrain myself from saying something I'd regret, which didn't work in the slightest because the next thing I knew I was opening my mouth to respond.

"Is this just generally or for your own personal knowledge?"

Luke wasn't phased by my overly confident comment whilst I, on the other hand, was pursing my lips in embarrassment of my lack of self restraint. He just smirked, as he always does, and shrugged as he relaxed further into the sofa.

"Personal knowledge."

I almost chocked on the spit in my mouth as I gripped the arm of the sofa to keep my self sane, I was really having this conversation with Luke Hemmings on my sofa at 1:30am in the morning.

What has my life come to?
