Boy Next Door | l.h [completed]

Chapter 16

Monday rolled along very quick.

After I got ready, I texted Luke to ask if he was ready. He didn't respond but a short 5 minutes later, there was a ring at the door.

"I'll get it!" I screamed, heading to the door.

I'm thankful I didn't wear heels because I wouldn't be able to walk in them.

"You look amazing Emma" Luke commented.

"Thanks, you look handsome" I commented back.

"Thanks. You ready?" he asked.

"Yeah, hold on. I need to get my phone" I stepped out of the doorway.

I practical ran to my room to get my phone.

I was slowly walking down stairs because I heard my dad and Luke talking. I wanted to listen. Ease drop.

"So, how are you and Emma doing?" my dad asked.

"Good" he responded with.

"Do you still like her?" I was suprised that my dad asked that. It sounded weird.

"Yeah, but I'm not going to get involved because she is already with Ashton" Luke said. I smiled.

"I don't trust that kid Ashton" My dad said. I didn't get why he said that. He loves Ash!

"May I ask why?" Luke asked. "I don't trust Ashton because the other day, at the barbecue, I heard him talking with his friend Calum. I heard Ashton tell Calum that he doesn't like my daughter. I guess he really likes that Natalie girl"

It was like they were gossiping, like girls do. It was weird. But what my dad said, I didn't believe it. Ashton wouldn't do that to me.

I stepped out, revealing that I'm here now. Luke opened his mouth to say something but closed it when he noticed I just came in.

"Hey. Ready?" he asked. "Yeah, bye dad" I gave my father a hug before exiting my house.

"Is that true?" I blurted out. "What?"he and nervously.

Luke opened the car door for me. It's the first time I have been in his car. At least I think it's his car. It could be his parents for all I know.

"Is it true that Ashton likes Natalie?" I asked, but in down on my bottom lip.

I didn't sit down yet, I needed an answer.

"I don't know" was all he said.

I nodded my head and got into the car, sliding down the leather seats.

I watched as he jogged to the other side of the car, to the driver seat.

He put the radio on, immediately having Fireproof from One Direction come on.

A half an hour later, we approached a huge building.

Luke got out of the car, leaving me slouched, thinking in the seat.

Soon after he opened the door for me. I smiled, faintly giving him a thank you.

He nodded his head. We stood side by side looking at the tall building. Looked like a ball or something. But it was a church.

I felt our shoulders touch slightly. His hands were just hovered next to mine.

I felt his hand wrap around mine. Our fingers intertwined with each other.

I felt safe.

I soon pulled away when I realized what he was trying to do.

"I can't Luke" I whispered. "Can't wait?" Luke was playing coy.

"I can't flirt with you. It's not right" I shot. "It was fine when Ashton flirted with Natalie" he whispered.

I froze. "What?" I asked. "The other day. Just saying, they were flirting" he said.

"Come on. Let's go" I cut in.

He took my hand, locking our fingers again. I didn't fight it because I knew Ashton wouldn't find out.

That's what I thought.
