"What did I tell you?" Luke answers for me, growling. I don't even need to look at him, to know what his face looks like right now.

"Okay," I sigh.

"What? Are you crazy? He just hit you for fuck's sake," Luke hisses but I ignore him, inviting Christian inside.

"He's not coming in," Luke crosses his hands on his chest and stands in the middle of the hallway.

I shrug and step outside, signalling Chris to follow me.

"Speak," I say in a low tone, looking into his eyes full of sorrow.

"I'm so sorry I hit you," he sighs

I'm not even mad at him, I guess.

"It's okay," I smile.

"No the fuck it's not," Luke says from behind me.

"Luke I can talk for myself you do know that, right?" I turn around and look at him. He is furious. He looks like as if he's going to kill Chris right now.

"Yeah but obviously you're too stupid to realize he's lying. As if he gives a fuck about you. You're mine and only mine. Only I am allowed to care about you," he hisses.

Did he just call me stupid? I guess Chris really doesn't care about me. If he did he wouldn't have hit me.

"Okay," I say, turning around and going into the house.

I really need a nap. Actually I'll just go to bed. Its 9pm anyways and this day was exhausting. The plane, my mom, cafe and now this. Im honestly mentally and physically tired.

"I'm going to bed. Goodnight," I say to Luke. He nods and leaves the house. But now, he actually kissed me on the cheek, before he left. We're making progress.

I take a shower and quickly drift off to sleep, thinking about Luke.

Christmas 2016

"Good morning beautiful," I wake up to Luke standing beside my bed, looking at me with his chocolate eyes.

"What time is it?"

"It's 1pm," he chuckles, still looking right into my eyes, "and it's Christmas.  I couldn't wait any longer to give you my gift, so I woke you up, I'm sorry," he smirks.

I jump out of the bed. Shit. He got me a gift? I didn't get him anything. Ahhh I hate myself. What do I do? Should I tell him that his hasn't arrived yet? Or just tell him the truth? I guess I should tell him the truth.

"Uh..listen, Luke. I didn't know we're gonna spend Christmas together so I didn't get you anything but I promise, I'll get you something," I sigh, but he just winks, "It's okay, beautiful."

I get up and wash my teeth and get dressed.

When I get downstairs, I see Luke playing on the PS4 with my brother. The sight of that makes me smile. I stand there, smiling like an idiot when Luke turns his head around and smirks, "you coming or what?"

I smile and walk up to them, sitting myself down next to Luke.

He stops the game, making my little brother whine. "You ready to check out my gift?" He winks and I nod nervously.

He gets up and walks up to a shelf, where he lifts up a small black box.

He sits next to me, "open it," he smiles, "and merry Christmas."

I slowly open the box. My eyes almost pop out of my sockets.

No way. There's a necklace in it. Made out of black diamonds. Black. Diamonds.
