Luke's POV

I was contemplating on whether or not it's a good idea to follow her and talk about what just happened and after a few minutes of staring at the closed lift doors, decided to just give it time. At least, I would have a reason to talk and taunt her the next time I see her again.

It was farkin hot seeing her let go in the lift like that. If we weren't inside it I don't think I would be able to stop. No definitely not. If she's still have reservations as to whether we should hook up or not, she already have the answer. I can't hide it anymore. I want her and I know she wants me too.

I was just about to knock to let Uncle Jace know I'm already here when the door opened and out came Kent.

'Hey Luke! Jace's in the kitchen, I gotta go but let's hang out tonight?' Jace asked while hurrying outside the hallway.

'Alright man!' I gave him a nod then head on to where my Uncle's at.

'Omelet. Sweet!' I greeted and sat in one of the stool. My mouth watered at the food displayed before me. I missed my Uncle's cooking.

'I talked to Jocelyn yesterday' Jace laid a plate full of rice and an orange juice in front of me.

'No shit' I didn't let him see how uneasy I am as to where this conversation is going and continued munching on my breakfast.

'What are your plans Luke?' Uncle Jace asked seriously this time trying to get me to look him in the eyes.

'I'm outta here' I hate to disappoint my Uncle but I'm not ready to talk to him about my life back in Cali yet. I'll talk when I'm ready. I excused myself and started to leave.

'I'm asking only because of Belle. Nothing more' That stopped me on my tracks because I was taken aback when he mentioned Belle.

'What's it gotta do with Belle?' confusion evident in my face. I sat back on the stool slowly.

'I saw you guys together. I know you got hots for each other and as much as I hate to see her with you, I couldn't also be more happier because once again I can feel she's starting to move on' I can hear frustration in my Uncle's voice.

'Who is she moving on from?' now I'm curious.

'She dated this guy for 4 years but broke her heart by telling her he's still hang up on his ex and didn't want to lie to Belle anymore' My uncle informed me sadly.

'Fark! 4 years?! And he's still hang up with his ex? What an arse!' I didn't need to know all of this but I'm happy my Uncle told me. I instantly felt a sense of protectiveness towards Belle.

'Belle is.. she's a nice girl ok? She's not like the girls you toy with. I hate for her to get hurt especially by my nephew.'

'Who said I'm just toying with her?' I glared at him.

'I know you Luke' he told me pointedly.

'We made out and its damn hot!' I blurted. I didn't mean to but I guess the lack of answer to his last statement prompted me to.

'You whhhhaaaaat? When?! ' he screamed.

'Forget I said that ok? What I'm tryna tell you man is that, she likes this as much as I do. Now quit it and let me enjoy my breakfast or I'll haul my ass out of her and not show up for days' the look on my Uncle's face is priceless I dunno if I'm gonna laugh or what.

'Fine' He snapped but I can see a knowing smile starting to form on his lips.

'I hate you man' I just said told him while shaking my head.

'I love you too dear nephew' he replied then rolled his eyes.

Isobel's POV

I'm having cramps on my left arm and that's what cued me to wake up. Too bad I was cozy from where I was lying down I just want to continue sleeping, but unless I switch position the cramps aren't gonna stop. That's when I realized my head is still on Simon's lap.

He too is also deep asleep and snoring softly. I glanced at the TV and the movie we're watching is now rolling closing credits. I sighed and thought I'd have to continue watching 'A Very Long Engagement' next time.

I removed Simon's had which is now draped across my stomach and went to get a fleece blanket in my room. He doesn't look to comfortable from where he's at and the blanket is the least I could do for him.

I just spread the blanket over Simon when I heard my phone ringing. I pranced towards my room to locate my phone and was surprised to see missed calls from Jace and Kent even two from the Bar's land line number.

It didn't sink in instantly to as to why they've been calling me until I saw what time it was.

'Ohhhh Crap!' It's already forty-five minutes past seven and she's usually already at the Bar at that time.It's during these times when I really hate my solar shade windows. I dunno whose number from the missed call list I dialed but before the person on the other line could answer I asked for apology instantly.

'I'll be there ASAP!' I told whoever the person is on the other line while I hurriedly change clothes.

'Don't fret Belle. It's fine. Just checking if you're still alive' Joe chuckled from the other line.

'Jace or Kent there?' I asked now slipping into my fave pair of chucks.

'Kent was here, he was worried when he didn't see you so he asked me to call. He left as soon he received a call from Jace' I bet those two were worried.

'I'll give them a call. Thanks Joe. See you later. Bye' I hang up at the same time I heard someone knocking on my door.

'Must be Kent' I muttered to myself. I left a small note on my coffee table for Simon when I saw him still sleeping. Poor guy he must be really stressed out.

Another knock came and and I strutted towards to door to greet Kent only to be knocked off my feet when I saw Luke instead looking all too gorgeous sporting a new haircut, a navy blue v-neck shirt paired with a low rise Levi's jeans. I swear this kid gets hotter and hotter everytime I see him.

'Hi Babe' He gave me that sexy smile of his and I knew at that moment that I gave in in. I'm willing to explore whatever it is that I'm feeling with this kid. I'll get hurt? I don't think so. Who said I'll take this kid seriously? I'm done with falling in love and all that shite for now but that doesn't mean I can't have a little fun.
