A Broken Soul

Chapter Eleven

Laura's POV

I jumped as I awoke. I blinked as my eyes adjusted to the light. I frowned as I realised that I was on the floor in Luke's arms. I blushed as I realised that I was naked except for Luke's jacket. I quickly stood up and began pulling my clothes on. As I turned back to Luke, I blushed as I realised that he had sat up and was watching me. He beamed at me.

"I can't believe I did that." I muttered.

He stood up and walked over to me. I blushed again as I realised that he was only wearing boxers.

He stood mere inches from me and looked down at me, waiting for me to make eye contact with him.

"I told you that you loved me." he whispered.

I couldn't look at him.

"But Ashton-" I started.

"We don't ever have to tell him." he interrupted.

I looked up at him then and stared into his piercing blue eyes.

"No regrets, it was amazing." he said as his lips gradually got closer and closer to mine.

I didn't resist as he kissed me, I just succumbed to the feelings that I had been having for a while. Right here, in this moment I didn't have to fight them.

I jumped and we instantly sprung apart as Dale entered the room.

He smiled knowingly at us both.

"I need to borrow Laura." he said matter of factly.

I pecked Luke quickly on the lips and followed Dale.

He led me into another bedroom. I looked between him and the bed, a panicked expression on my face.

"No not for that." he said chuckling slightly.

I sighed in relief and perched on the bed. I looked at him awkwardly as he sat next to me on the bed.

"I am taking you somewhere later." he stated.

"Where?" I asked nervously.

He ignored me. I sat looking at him, as I waited for him to speak.

"May I?" he asked.

"May you what?" I enquired quietly.

"Can I touch the baby?" he asked.

I frowned at him in confusion. He seemed almost nervous. His behaviour went against everything that I knew about him.

I nodded at him, too shocked to speak.

He reached out and gently placed his hand on my bump. I saw him smile, as his hand lingered.

"What was that?" he asked jumping slightly.

"She's kicking." I told him quietly.

"She?" he whispered as he looked up at me.

"Just a hunch." I whispered.

He removed his hand and sat back looking at me.

"Do I make you feel uncomfortable?" he asked me.

I looked at him in disbelief.

"What do you think?!" I snapped.

He opened his mouth to speak but changed his mind.

"Can I go back to Luke now?" I asked.

He nodded slowly. As I stood up and walked past him, I couldn't quite interpret his expression. If I didn't know any better, I would say it was sadness.
