Match Made On Stage

Chapter 16 - A Day Full of Awkwardness

The thunderstorm kept going while I was sleeping, until I woke up completely. I went out of my room to see that Luke had woken up as well, because he was no longer on the couch. Although I wondered where he went. I figured that maybe he already took off. But as soon as I thought about it, i checked on the weather forecast and it didn't say that they've cleared up the roads so maybe he didn't leave the flat yet. I looked outside, to check if his car was still parked in front of the building, and it turned out that is still was. I looked around the place, however it didn't leave any sign of him. "Maybe he just went out to buy something." I thought.

As I carried on, I head to the toilet to brush my teeth and washed my face. When I opened the toilet's door,

"OMYGOD." I covered my eyes with my hands, as Luke stood in front of me, naked. "Can you please hurry up and get dressed." I said to him, still covering my eyes. "I know, I know. Move aside then." He replied. So I then moved aside to let him through. After he went out of the toilet, I went inside. I looked at the mirror, and saw that I was blushing. "What the bloody hell" I thought to myself I shook my head to get the image out of my head. "Cut it out, Zoe." I said to myself. Then I just cracked up.

After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I turned around from the faucet and noticed that the floor was flooded. I opened the door, and shouted, "Hey. You've made a huge mess here!" I didn't get any reply, so I went out to say it to his face. "Luke, if you're gonna stay here, you're gonna have to play by my rules, alright?" He nodded with annoyance and went to the toilet. At the same time he was cleaning the toilet floor, I stayed in the kitchen to cook us brunch. I fried some omelettes and some vegetable patties from the fridge, then took a small bowl of ketchup. I put them all on a tray and took them to the living room table.

Luke still wasn't done cleaning up the toilet. I did not hesitated to eat without waiting for him, because I was hungry. What else could I do?

When he got out from the toilet, he walked towards the couch, looking exhausted. When he saw the grub in front of him, he said, "Wow. You didn't have to do this. We could've just called for a delivery" "It's fine." I replied. "Besides, the restaurants are probably closed right now." He took a plate, and tried the food. "This is.." He squinted his face, "Not bad." I smiled at him confidently. After a while, he stood up, and walked towards my CD rack. "Got any good movies?" He asked while going through the disks. "Nah. I only got either cartoons or anything that's old." I replied, while just concentrating on eating. I saw him took out and CD, and said, "You have Monster Inc?" He said with a wide smile while holding up the CD. I looked at him an raised my eyebrows. He inserted the disk in the player, and started to watch. Right in the middle of the movie, I stood up and took the dishes to the dish washer. Then I decided to go to my room and practice some of the music scores from work. As I was walking to my room, I approached Luke and said, "Hey, I'm just gonna go to my room and do some stuff. Just call me when you need anything." He gave a thumbs up, and I head to my room.

We started to watch the movie, Titanic while eating a large microwaved pizza.
