May-September Private Affair

Chapter VI

Chapter VI

'Wakey wakey' Isobel heard on her dazed state someone saying that, while her feet is being tickled at the same time.

She stirred and tried to get up but her body seems to protest so she stayed hidden buried underneath the pillows and blanket. She almost dozed off when she realized Great! I have a massive hangover. How much did I actually drink last night? Wait, last night... Mr. Bedroom voice... Luke... dancing... A kiss! Oh my a kiss! A flashback of what happened last night dawned on her making her cringe. Where the hell am I? Ok I'm not in my own bed, this is somebody else's pillow. Oh my God... don't panic you're still alive, you just had a one night stand so whoever this person is holding my feet, is not a bad guy. I slowly lifted my head enough to be able to get a quick glance at that person.

'Kent! It's just you!' I gave a deep sigh then leaped from my position of laying on my belly under a warm pool of fleecy comforter to Kent who is sitting at the bottom of the bed. I then realized I'm already in one of of Kent's shirts and a sweatpants, one of them must have changed my outfit last night so I can sleep comfortably.

'Drunk much?' He said laughing laughing while fixing my hair away from my face. I look like a wuss sitting on my best friend's lap.

'Hey, you ok? Who did you think I was? Luke?' He said while wiggling his eyebrows at me, amusment shining in his eyes.

'Is that coffee I smell?' I asked Kent without looking at him my nose sniffing the aroma of coffee coming out of the kitchen then shouted at Jace who definitely is the one preparing our breakfast. 'Jaaaaccceeeee pour one for me, I badly need caffeine' I bolted towards the door and squirmed past Kent who tried to grab me back on the bed but stealthily dodged his attempt. I sticked my tongue out with an exaggerated bleh at him before I exited the room and I still hear him laughing inside as I approach the kitchen.

Yeah...yeah laugh all you want but I so don't want to talk about Luke. I can feel myself blushing upon remembering again the accounts of last night. I'm sure won't stop hearing from my BFF's. They won't let me get out of their condo, not until after they're done grilling me with questions I swear even I don't have the answers to.

I sat on the stool in front of the kitchen bar where my coffee is situated along with a pill for my hangover and a water. Thank God for my best friends, I don't know what I'll do without them. Jace have his back facing me, cooking what I smell is his signature omelet, who only Kent appreciates. He may be my bestfriend but I hate how he put too much spices on on his omelet. He knows I don't like it, so I don't know why and who's he cooking it for.

'Good morning drunkard' Jace said still not looking at me. 'Gomorning Luv' I replied grumbling making it sound like I'm eating my words.

'Uh hmmm' He murmured still busy on his cooking. I sipped on my coffee quietly... Huh! Jace is quiet, is he gonna spare me with "The Talk" and leave me be to enjoy my coffee? which I think is the only thing that's good this morning. I really hope so. Jace laid the plate of omelet in front of me and walked towards the coffee maker to get his own coffee.

'Uh oh' I twitched on my seat nervously. 'Yes Belle, Uh oh' replied Jace while slyly smiling at me. With coffee on hand, he sat on the other stool beside me and started the interrogation.

'You won't open a conversation, so I'm gonna coax the information out of you, what are you and Luke doing?'

'N-Nothing' I responded immediately. 'NOTHING?! I SAW YOU GUYS KISSED!' exclaimed Jace.

'Uhhh that wasn't me!' I denied, like he'll believe that. 'Oh it was you Belle' Kent butt in, still inside the room.

'It was "Naughty Belle" not me' I yelled at them both. Jace just stared at me with a raised eyebrow and Kent once again, laughed like there's no tomorrow inside the room.

'Guys... Seriously, I don't know!' Jace just continued to stare.

'I decided to have fun while at you're wedding. I didn't mean to but... I may have gotten a bit buzzed and just planned to you know flirt and play a little. I just hooked the wrong fish! I didn't know he was your nephew. I tried to stay away but he's stubborn. Mentioning the last two words in a whisper.

'Sweetheart, It's not that I don't approve of you and Luke. I'm just concerned about you. I don't want you to get hurt.

'Seriously Jace? We just met, it's not like I'm gonna marry him or something' He doesn't look like he believe me.

'It's a one time thing ok? It's not gonna happen again' I informed him.

'If it's a one time thing, then why did he call me at farkin' 6AM to ask for you number?!' The look on Jace's face is so hilarious I wanted to laugh but stopped myself.

And as if on cue my iPhone 7 plus  dinged signifying a message received. I looked around and found my purse on the couch and took my phone out to look at the text message.

Sender: +6391********

Good morning Belle. I'll see you soon.

-L

I groaned loudly and almost spit my coffee. I'm screwed big time. As much as I'd like to deny it, I kinda felt butterflies in my tummy when I read his message.  I know we just met but there's a connection between us, something just him and I know. I admit I like how Luke get's me excited every time he looks at me and give me that sexy smirk of his. My heart feels like it's gonna burst into tiny million happy faces whenever he talks to me. I didn't even feel the age difference when I'm with him last night but that doesn't change the fact that I'm older than him of six years, plus he's Jace's nephew.

I know it isn't so bad. I even know a few couple with huge difference in their ages and they are all happy but I can't help but overthink. Plus it's been a year since I last dated. I'd say my dating skills is pretty rusty since I dated my last boyfriend for 4 years.

Jace is right, Luke is so out of my league. I'm not ready for this.

'Jace, Belle deserves to have fun, even if it's Luke she's gonna have fun with' Kent said plopping himself beside me on the other stool and started fidgeting with his phone.

'And can you just feed her the bacons? She already answered your questions so stop tormenting her with the omelet' Kent added

'I know that, she deserves to find love again after James, but Luke is... I don't know how long he's gonna be here... and..'

'Who said something about love? Can we discuss this some other time?' I cut him off.

'It's past eleven already, I'm meeting Simon after lunch' I got up and head on inside the bedroom to locate my last night's dress so I can get ready to leave already.

'Ohhhhh Simon... he out of the closet yet?' Kent teased.

'He's not gay ok? Or so he said' I retorted laughing.

I finished breakfast in a hurry and I kissed both Jace and Kent after I got dressed and said our goodbyes. 'Enjoy your honeymoon newlyweds!' I said  then I went outside and shut the door behind me. But only to peek back in and tell Jace, 'Oh I used your toothbrush by the way, that's for tormenting me with your omelet'

'But you have your own toothbrush in there you dork!!' I heard Jace scream through the closed door.

I was giggling as I reached the lift and pressed the L button for the lobby and took my phone out to text Simon and inform him I'm running a bit late. I heard the elevator door opened and just when I was to about to get in.... lo and behold....I saw him. None other than his royal hotness, Luke.

Remember when I said coffee was the only thing that's good in my morning? I take it back. There inside the elevator is no other than Luke, who made coffee now, the second best thing that's ever happened in my morning.
