Chapter 7
Luke's POV
The most heart wrenching sight a man can behold their eyes on is a broken girl sobbing into their chest, whimpering and shaking in pure fright. The dark, moody, 100% seductive Leah Brooks was the sight that no man or anyone for that matter should witness.
I should sing a song to her. Maybe that will calm her down. I quickly conjure the last few lyrics of a chorus I've been writing for a while.
"She sleeps alone
my heart wants to come home
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you
She lies awake
I'm trying to find the words to say
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you," I half whisper and half sing to her fragile body.
She doesn't even respond to my singing and still shakes uncontrollably. I just rub circles on her back and stroke her hair once in a while.
"Sing more," a hoarse and shaky voice comes from Leah's sweet mouth.
I think of another original song- an upbeat one- but I decide to morph it and make it a slow, endearing tune.
"You call me up
It's like a broken record
Saying that your heart hurts
That you'll never get over him getting over you
And you end up crying
And I end up lying
Cause I'm just a sucker for anything that you do
And when the phone call finally ends
You say 'thanks for being a friend'
And we're going in circles again and again
I dedicate this song to you
The one who never sees the truth
That I can take away your hurt
Heartbreak girl
Hold you tight straight through the daylight
I'm right here when you gonna realize
That I'm you cure
Heartbreak girl-" I sing softly but Leah interrupts me at the end of the first chorus.
"Luke?"
"Yeah?"
"I like you. I like you a lot," Leah confesses and my heart leaps a bit.
"I like you too," I reply but Leah's eyes blink slowly to sleep.
And that's how Leah conquered her demons that night.
•••
I arise to the scent of what seems to be one of those sexy Victorias Secret perfumes. Leah. She's in the same bed with me. Oh my god.
Memories of last night's events flash through my head and my heart aches from the recollection of Leah's crestfallen expression when she woke up from her nightmare. If I could only know one thing in my entire life, it would be her backstory. What is she so afraid of? Why is she so bipolar? Who's "coming for me"?
A penny for your thoughts, more like a million bucks for Leah's thoughts.
"Luke?" A fragile voice speaks.
"Morning, angel," I smile at her bed head and the makeup running down her face.
"I'm sorry about last night," Leah says bluntly. She looks down at her fumbling hands nervously.
"It's okay," I mumble.
"I was not myself last night and a nightmare really screwed me up, I'm really sorry," Leah whimpers, obviously still scarred from last night's events.
"It's okay, Lee," I confirm and she smiles a bit. It's good to see her smile after seeing her lowest point last night.
"Lee?" Leah questions with a toothy grin.
"Yeah, it's a nickname I'm gonna call you from now on," I smile and pinch her cheek. I notice her huge dimples again. God she's cute.
"I've been called Leanne, Leah, but not Lee yet," Leah grins, "I like it."
Suddenly Leah's face brightens and she utters "I have to come up with a nickname for you!"
"Oh god no," I groaned but Leah giggled. It's amazing how fast she can transition from last night to her happy, joyful self this morning.
"Luke... Lukey... Lucas... Lucifer... Lou... How about Lulu!" Leah shrieked and I groaned again. Honestly I'd be happier with Lucifer than Lulu.
"No way Lee- lee," I smirked.
"So you can call me Lee- lee but I can't call you Lulu?! Not fair!" Leah complained and I chucked. She's just so cute.
"You're so cute Lee," I compliment and she blushes slightly.
"Oh really Lulu?" She smirks and nuzzles her head into my chest.
I wrap my arms around her thin body- I've never noticed how bony she is- and run my fingers through her long, dark brown hair.
Honestly, I'm not sure where we're at in our relationship, but we both like each other and currently we're cuddling. If only she would kiss me..
Come on Leah.. Kiss me kiss me kiss me, and tell me that I'll see you again.
Our foreheads are touching and I can feel her hot breath crawling on my skin.
"Kiss me," I breathe and she obeys.
Her lips press against mine in a desperate move. I don't feel cliché electricity flowing through my body- but ice. Chills run through my spine and I know Leah feels the same way.
I bite on her bottom lip, earning a moan from her. Leah roughly shoves her tongue in my mouth and threads her fingers through my blonde hair, pulling it occasionally.
My mouth moves to her neck and soon I find her sweet spot- just below her right ear. I suck on the sweet skin and blow a hot breath on the red mark. Leah bucks her hips in surprise with the hot breath caressing her soft skin.
"You're something else Lee," I pant, exhausted after that heavy make-out session.
"You too Lulu," she giggles and I roll my eyes at her cute self.
I SHIP IT SO HARD MAN
idk would their ship name be Luah? Leke? Leelu (Lee and Lulu)?
anyways, much love
-Liv
