Close as Strangers

Chapter 21

The smile on Caitlin's face was impossible to hide and if never seen her happier then now as she tells me all about being engaged to Michael and how he proposed. I missed Will more then ever as she spoke of her fiancé.

I hadn't seen him in months and it was growing unbearable waiting to see him again, I've found myself doing basically nothing but staying inside and watching movies. Caitlin says it's because I don't want to run into Luke, but she thinks I need to see him again in order to fully believe I'm moved on. I don't think so though.

I woke up from an unexpected nap, to hear a knock on the front door, it was dark out and my parents weren't home and I wasn't expecting anyone but I stood up and looked on a mirror quick on the living room wall before walking to the door accepting the fact that I looked like a truck just ran me over.

I opened the door and my heart nearly stopped at the person standing in front of me. He put his hand up to his mouth, motioning for me to stay quiet, a dangerous look in his eye as he leaned down and crashed his lips on mine, the familiar scent and pounding if my heart set in. The kiss deepened and eventually we both were on the couch, our lips entwined. My mind had gone blank and my heart was pounding to the point I thought it might fly out of my chest. He pulled back to look at me.

"Izzy." A small smile on his face, he put his hand on my cheek and brought it into my hair, bringing my lips back onto his one last time before he got up and left.

The worst part of waking up from something as random as Luke walking into your house just to kiss you is realizing that you cheated on your boyfriend. My stomach sank and I felt guilt weighing down on me.

"Shit." I mumbled to myself as I got dressed and went outside for the first time in two weeks to clear my head. Walking down the street I saw a tall figure leaning on the corner by the park that I go to every time I need space to think. The figure followed me to the park and I walked swifter, trying to distance myself.

"Izzy."

"Don't talk to me. You know I have a boyfriend."

"You don't even love him, and if you did you wouldn't have made out with me." I turned as I could feel the anger rise up in me.

"Well Luke, you better believe that I do love him, so get over yourself because nothing happened between us yesterday."

"Nothing huh?" He smirked "If it was nothing then why're you coming to your spot?"

"I wanted fresh air." I mumbled miserably loosing at trying to sound confident.

"Or to think of how to break up with him."

"You have no idea what you're talking about Luke. He's been there for me through everything, you don't get to act like this because you know what; you weren't there."

"But look at this Izzy, you're alone right now. Where is he?"

"None of your-" he cut me off by crashing his lips on mine for a second time in one day and I practically melted into him before reality came crashing in and making me jump to my senses. I pulled myself away from him and took in the new Luke. He was nothing like before. "Are you kidding me?! I told you I'm happily in a relationship! Now move on Luke!"

"Izzy, I would you see but you know you're the only one for me, as I'm the only one for you." I turned on my heel and started walking quickly before I could be pulled back into a kiss from Luke again. This time I stayed with my senses, trying not to fall into his trap. I pulled away and smacked him across the face and walked back toward my house. "Don't act like it's not there Izzy, we both know it is." He yelled this down the street at me as I gave him a rude gesture to try and get my point across. What am I going to do about Will?
