Without You

Part 37 "All you care about is yourself!"

By Monday, after sleeping for almost three days, I feel rejuvenated. I don't know why I was so tired but at least I got to sleep for a long time.

Luke came over a couple of times and we just sat there either talking or watching different movies.

I stumble into the schoolhouse and walk to my locker. Once I'm done getting my things, I shut my locker and turn to walk to Olivia's locker.

I let out a gasp when I look up. Lee stands right in front of me, a nervous look adorning his face.

"Hey Lee, you scared me," I chuckle, clutching my heart.

"I'm sorry," his shoulders slump and he looks down at the floor.

"It's okay!" I try and cheer him up. He did nothing wrong, I don't know why he's upset.

"What was it that you needed?" I question him, making sure I use the nicest tone in existence.

"Well...I just wanted to ask if you and Luke were still a thing. If not, then m-maybe you and I could have dinner or something."

My eyebrows shoot up at what he says. Why would he think Luke and I weren't together anymore?

"Maybe we would like, get dinner, or see a movie," he adds, still gazing down at the ground.

A strong, thick arm wraps itself around my shoulders and Luke's scent envelops me. I didn't even hear him coming.

"I think the fuck not," he says in a no-bullpoop tone. Lee's head shoots up and his eyes widen at the sight of Luke.

"Um, we're still together so," I smile awkwardly at Lee and he nods before rushing off. Luke pulls me closer to him and he leans down giving me a chaste kiss.

"Mornin'," he greets and I smile up at him.

"I'm gonna go talk to Olivia," I tell him before walking off to Olivia's locker where she and Izzy are standing.

*LUKE'S POV*

"Boobs or butt, Eli?" Ryan asks as I get to where the two are standing. Eli thinks for a minute.

"I'm a boob kind of guy. What about you Luke?" Eli nudges me. Thinking about the question, my eyes find Aubrey's form from across the hall.

I let my eyes travel down her tantalizing figure.

All mine.

"Both."

"Pick one. What's the first thing you looked at when you first met Aubrey?" Ryan asks.

I know the answer to the question without a doubt. I just sound like a douche answering it. I'm not the same guy I was.

"Her ass," I admit fighting the urge to hang my head.

"I looked at her boobs," Eli says from beside me. Did he really just say that?

"Kidding!" He shouts once he sees my gaze.

"You fuckin' better be."

I wait outside the girl's locker room for Aubrey to come out. A group of girls come out and one's eyes connect with mine.

She looks new.

She bites her bottom lip and her eyes travel down my form. My eyes narrow at her head as she does.

When her eyes find mine again, she closes one eye and she winks at me.

I look back at the locker room door, waiting for a certain gorgeous individual to make her way out.
