<<Alyssa?Have you seen my phone?>>
Cleo asked while searching her bag.

<<No..ave.nt.>>her friends muffled voice made Cleo frown.

<<What the heck are you saying?>> Cleo asked confused.

A spitting sound was heard and Alyssa walked towards Cleo holding a toothbrush.

<<No.I.Haven't.>>she repeated and Cleo sighed and continued to search her phone more aggravated.

<<Okay,calm down. Where exactly did you go last night?>>Alyssa asked and Cleo rubbed her temple to calm herself.

<<I don't know..I went to the bar..but I'm pretty sure I had my phone I had my phone after I left..and then I went...
To Luke's apartment...Oh,shit.>>

<<Who's Luke?>>Alyssa asked confused.

<<Long story,gotta go.>>she said and left no time for her friend to answer as she had already walked out of the door.

Fast forward a few minutes and she was knocking on his wooden door.

She came face to face with his raven eyes and she had to take a step back.

<<Morning.>>he said grinning and she rolled her eyes.

<<My phone, have you seen it?>>she asked immediately and didn't even seem to notice he was shirtless.

<<Straight to the point.>>he noticed with a smirk.<<Come in.>>he said and she just stood there.

<<I'd rather not.>>she said and he looked at her for a moment before going inside.

He came back holding her phone and a cup of coffee.

He gave her her phone and it was only then did she start noticing his carved body and messy black hair.She felt her cheeks warm up a bit.

He leaned against the wooden door and took a sip from his cup.

<<So..I heard you punched my brother quite hard last night.>>he said smiling.

<<Well..he deserved it.>>she said looking away.<<I won't apologize if that's what you want.>>she said putting her phone inside her bag.

<<Oh,I'm not asking you that.Not at all.>>
he said calmly and she looked at him curiously. Suddenly,her eyes widened.
She hadn't quite paid attention to his previous words.

<< Wait...brother?>>she wondered out loud.

<<Yup. >>he said calmly drinking for his cup.She frowned and looked at him.

<<Well..I better get going then.>>she said confused and entered her car.
She tried to start the engine but the car wouldn't start..She tried again..and again.. until she accepted her car needed fixing.
She took out her phone from her bag and tried to open it,but it's battery was dead.

<<Talk about luck..huh?>>she murmured and sighed.
She debated with herself whether or not to ask Luke's help.

Putting her needs over her ego,she got out of the car and knocked on Luke's door.

She waited for a few minutes but he didn't open the door.She turned her back and was about to leave when she heard the sound of a door opening.

He was fully dressed now,an Italian suit covering his ethereal body.
His black hair was nearly tucked on his head,and he seemed more attractive than any man she had ever seen.
But she was too proud to admit that.

<<What would your lovely presence want now?>>he asked a seductive look on his face.
For a moment she forgot why she was standing in his doorstep.

<<Right.>>she said after taking in his presence.<<Um..>>she cleared her throat.

Real smooth,Cleo...Real smooth.

<<Do you have a charger?>>she asked with a squeaky voice.

He tried his best not to laugh.
He smirked instead.

<<Sure..come in.>>he said and made room for her to pass.

She was surprised at the tasteful decor and couldn't help but show it.

He gazed at her,a smug look on his face.
He closed the door and she followed him.

He lead her to a 90s style decorated room full of posters of rock bands and a wall that was silver coloured.

She grinned at the sight of the room that said so much about him.

She approached a record player and looked at a few records stacked next to it.
She felt a presence behind her and turned to look at Luke.

<<Your phone.>>he said stretching his hand.

<<Right.>>she said and searched for her phone into her bag.

<<Here.>>she said giving him her phone.
It was only a slight skin contact..but Cleo felt her heart flutter.

She felt like a 16 year old all of the sudden.

He attached the phone to the charger,while glancing sideways at her.

She continued to admire his room,she felt the retro vibe speak to her..and a familiar sensation flooded her.

She sat on the bed and was surprised with how comfortable it was.
She lied down and looked at the ceiling.
It was decorated with small light in the dark stars.

He gazed at her as she looked at the ceiling.

She looked at him and noticed how he was looking at her.

She raised an eyebrow at him and he smirked.

<<So...are we going to talk about the fact that you are nothing like your brother?>>
she asked and he looked at her amused.

<<Do you want to get to know me, Cleopatra?>>he asked raising his eyebrows and she scoffed.

<<Yeah.. right.>>she said and looked at the ceiling.
She turned to look at him but he was still looking at her.

He was handsome,he had Italian written all over him.His short stubble beard made him look more masculine...but his almond dark brown eyes and light freckles gave him an innocent look.

<<Cleopatra...are you.. gazing..at me?>> he asked and she finally ripped her eyes of him.

<<Wh-what? Of course not!>>she exclaimed and realized she had slightly leaned on him.She put a little distance between them and cleared her throat.

He smiled.

<<Why don't you tell me something about you, Cleopatra.>>he asked and she frowned.

<<What do you want to know?>>she asked supporting her head on her hands.

He licked his lips.
She noticed.

<<Well..for starters... what's your favourite band.>>he asked and she chuckled.

<<That's what you want to know?>>she asked and put on a lopsided smile.

He raised his eyebrows and she rolled her eyes.

<< Bon Jovi.>>she said and he raised his eyebrows.

<<What else?>> she asked smirking.
