Boss // Luke Hemmings ✔️

Chapter Five

Chapter Five

I opened my eyes as my ears focused on someone moving things around in my room. Slowly I opened them, them instantly widening when seeing a stranger in my room. I gripped the blanket tight, making sure to cover myself as I sat up as the hospital gown I was forced into was slightly open at the back.

"Hello?" I asked her confused on why she was packing my suitcase and who she was to begin with.

"Hi," she replied, not stopping what she was doing making me roll my eyes slightly.

"Not to be rude or anything," I scoffed making her finally look at me. "But who are you?"

"I'm Kensie," she smiled "I'm Michael's fiancé. And you don't know who Michael is do you?" I shook my head side to side confused.

"Why are you here? In my hospital room," I asked her questions running through my mind "And where is Luke?"

"Doctors say you can leave today. I brought you clothes, that Luke obviously gave me, so you can actually go home. I'm here because Luke can't help you pack since he got called into the office," she smiled sweetly

"He has been called in?" I questioned knowing that it was his day off from everything work related. He only allows himself one day a week where he can fully relax from work and refuses to go in for any meetings or anything.

"Apparently it was serious." she informed me obviously copying whatever he told her to say. "He also, after doctors orders, is giving you the month of roughly until your leg heals,"

"What about pay?" I squealed needing the money desperately to help out with my family,

"He never mentioned no pay," she shrugged "He never told me and it weren't my place to ask. Now here are your clothes, go change and we will go."

"Petunia!" I cheered seeing the big bulldog-terrier bounce towards me, her tongue outside her mouth. "I missed you," I said fussing her as she collapsed and rolled onto her back, giving me access to her stomach. "Where's your dad?" I asked as if I was expecting a reply off her.

"He is still at work," a new voice told me making my head snap up. My eyes met bright blue as a man stood there, with bright sapphire dyed hair. I laughed slightly at how smart he looked in a full black suit, with his sleeves rolled up, completely contrasting with his sapphire hair.

"I'm guessing your Michael," I guessed seeing Kensie on his arm receiving a nod letting me know I was correct with my guess. "When's he back?" I asked, my arms crossed over my stomach feeling insecure with the clothing Luke decided to make me wear.

"He never said," Kensie butted in making me nod. "Come lets get your foot elevated, doctors orders,"

I followed her using my crutches, refusing when Michael tried to help me not wanting to feel completely useless for the next month. Brown watched as she puffed up pillows and grabbed a blanket signalling me to lie down. I lay down instantly being engulfed with warmth as the checkered blanket was placed over my body.

"Want any food? Drink? Is it too bright? To dark? Want television on?" Kensie rambled making Michael laugh slightly

"Stop smoothing her Ken's," he wrapped his arms around her pulling her back into him before sitting down, pulling her in between his legs sitting on the sofa.

"How do you know luke?" I asked making me look at me over Kensie's head showing my their true height difference.

"I own a company that works quite closely with his,"

"What company?" I slashed pushing my body up slightly

"Date Co. I own and run a dating app," he simplified.

"I know that one I used it," I admitted feeling my face go red under their stares.

"All good things I'm guessing,"

"The guy I met was a physco," I shrugged "weren't who he said he was and well all he wanted was sex,"

"Maybe we should disable people being able to do that,"

"Nicky!" A smile fell onto my face as I pushed myself up, peering over the side of the sofa seeing the tall man I've grown so fond off the last couple of weeks.

"Luke!" I mimicked making his head snap in my direction, a look of relief on his face as he quickly stormed over to me briefly saying hello to Kensie and Michael before crouching down by the side of the sofa.

"You're ok," he breathed out making me nod,

"I'm ok," I repeated making him pull me into a hug tightly.

"I'm so glad,"

"I'm glad to,"

"We're gonna go," Michael muttered pulling kensie up "got to get back to Harley." We both muttered a bye to the couple leaving as we stared at each other.

"Nicky, darling, we have to talk about them drugs the doctors found in your system?" Luke said placing his hands on my face giving me flashbacks to a week ago.

"I don't have a clue how they found them, I've never took drugs Luke," I sobbed my voice breaking slightly as I rapidly shook my head from side to side.

"Someone must of drugged you," he whispered shaking his own head before blue met brown again. "Any idea who?" He begged making me look away.

"David may know," I whispered.

Two vanilla ice lattes," I ordered watching as she walked away, "and no I haven't fucked him," I rolled my eyes my brown eyes ending up looking at the cashier. "Ok tell me why I know him?" I asked confused making David also look towards the cashier.

"We have to go," he breathed out grabbing my arm and pulling me up quickly. "Can we get them Vanilla ice lattes to go?" He called out receiving a nod from the waitress before she handed them us. David quickly dropped the right amount of money on the counter before grabbing my arm again dragging me out into the cold breeze as we left the warm shop.

"Where is he now?"

"On holiday with his family Luke," I told him thinking desperately of who may know what happened. "It must of happened the day before I worked for you properly. It was after the interview and to celebrate we went to the bar. Jack was there! And he was who I saw in costa maybe it was him," I guessed tilting my head to the side.

"He would never," Luke sighed sadly, his hands dropping from my face making me feel slightly sad.

"Luke?" I called out making him look back up at me, his black eyebrow ring glistening in the sunlight and his suit hugging his body perfectly. I squeezed my eyes shut not wanting to see his reaction. My hands reached gripping his face feeling the slight stubble under my finger tips. Gently I moved my hands feeling the hair move under my touch.

"Nicky?" He questioned his own voice barely over a whisper. I stopped moving scared he was going to push my off. My eyes flew open not expecting him to be kissing me. Our lips met softly and he put his own hands on my waist moving his thumbs slightly under my shirt and rubbing my skin soothingly as if not to scare me.

He pulled away before kissing me again this time slightly longer,

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that and how many times I nearly did," he breathed out breaking apart for the second time.

"Ditto Luke ditto,"
