Luke's POV
"Mikey what's wrong?" I asked worriedly. He never calls unless it's an emergency. He thinks calling people is a waste of breath.
"Hello? Hello Luke?" He replied from the other end. He sounded out of breath.
"Michael! What's wrong?" My panicked state was escalating.
"Bro I'm in a little bit of trouble can you come down and get me?" He asked, his voice breaking on the word trouble.
I looked back at the study door. I was actually having fun.
I sighed loudly "where are you Mikey?"
"I'm at Calum's place"
"What the hell are you doing over there Mikey? I thought we agreed that you wouldn't have anything to do with him anymore!" I shouted
"Please come and get me bro, I'll explain everything when you get here"
"I'm on my way," I said angrily
"Thank you! I owe you big time!" He said in pure relief
"Whatever dumb ass" I replied
Just as I was about to end the call he asked, "Where are you?"
I paused. "I-um. I'm at Amber's place" I replied stuttering.
Why the hell did I just lie?
"Okay, come quickly please"
"I'm coming. Get off the phone Mikey"
The line went dead. The line wasn't the only thing that was going to be dead in a few minutes.
I walked back to the study and opened the door.
"Is everything okay?" Katarina asked, her face full of concern.
She looked cute.
"Uh yeah, my mate Mikey needs some help so I have to leave. Sorry" I replied quickly.
"Mikey? As in Michael? Is that the guy that tried to chat me up in the cafeteria today?" she asked frowning.
"Uh yeah"
She remained quiet
"So same time tomorrow?" I asked her
"Sure" she replied softly
"Same place?" I questioned
"Okay" she responded flatly
"Will you bake some more cookies?" I asked smiling
Those cookies were fucking amazing.
"If you want" she said without emotion.
What was with the sudden mood change?
Women.
"I'll walk you out," she said getting up
"Cool" I replied packing up my things
We walked in silence to the door.
"Well thanks for today," I said turning to her
"Yeah, no worries" she replied looking down at her feet "tell Michael I said hello" she added.
"Okay. See you tomorrow"
"Bye" she said before she shut the front door
"What! No good bye kiss Katarina?" I shouted, sure that she could hear me despite the closed door.
The door swung open and she looked at me cheekily "in your dreams Luke" she said before closing the door again.
I smiled while walking down to my car.
