Mending A Broken Heart

Chapter Six

Emily's Pov

I sighed as I quickly finished the riffles of Miss.
Reynolds' dress before giving her a thumbs up.

"You look beautiful," I said, causing a smile to appear on her face.

"Thank you for everything, Emily," she said as she quickly hugged me before nodding towards the wedding planner who had just announced that she should get going. "Well, thanks again," she mumbled before walking out of the dressing room, leaving me there to stand.

I sighed as I slowly made my way out of the building the wedding was held at and walked towards my car.

*******

I groaned as I placed the pizza on the coffee table in my living room before slowly getting up from the couch, stretching my arms above my head as I stood on my toes.

I pulled down the hem of my shirt that has risen before walking over to the door.

"Can I help you?" I asked as I opened the door, my eyes immediately widened when I saw them standing there. "What are you doing here?" I asked as I moved out of the doorway, and Val instantly walked into my house, followed by Kyle and Luke.

"We're here to have a movie night," Vale exclaimed as she held up a few DVDs.

"I don't have time for that," I said as I slowly looked down, instantly noticing the short pajama shorts I was wearing.

"Bullshit," Valerie exclaimed, causing my head to snap up to see her already walking over to the DVD player. "I told Amanda that you weren't coming in to work tomorrow," she said as I made my way over to where she was.

"You can't do that, Val" I scolded as she stood up and walked over to the couch, Kyle was already sat on.

I looked down at the other couch I had to see Luke sitting there while typing on his phone. My eyes flickered to the spot beside him before I hesitantly took a seat.

"Well, it's already done, so shut up and watch the movie," Valerie said, causing the two men to chuckle slightly.

Luke's Pov

I couldn't help but twirl a loose strand of hair around my finger as I kept looking down at her sleeping figure that was laying on top of me.

The entire time we watched movies last night, I couldn't help but glance at her.

She has become so much more beautiful than I can remember. The way her dark hair would frame her face as she rested her head on the armrest of the couch.

The way her blues eyes would sparkle, even in the night.

The way her pink, plump lips would turn into a smile or frown when something would happen in the movie we were watching.

I could still remember how my eyes would gaze down at her body. The way her white tank top clung onto her curves. The way her short pajama shorts showed off her long, smooth legs.

She has matured since the last time I had seen her.

A sigh escaped my lips as I pulled the strand of hair I was twirling behind her ear to give me a better view of her peaceful face.

My breath suddenly got caught in my throat when I notice her stir in her sleep as her eyes slowly started to flutter open. Before her eyes were fully opened, I wrapped my arms around her waist and closed my eyes.

Emily's Pov

My eyes finally adjusted to the light, and as soon as I realized in what position Luke and I were in my eyes widened.

"Luke," I whispered as I started wiggling in his arms. "Luke," I tried once again, but this only turned into his arms, tightening their grip on my waist.

I could feel that warm feeling I always felt in my stomach whenever he uses to hold me like this, and I couldn't help but smile at that.

I rested my chin on his chest as I studied his face for a while.

He looked so peaceful when he was sleeping. The slight stubble on his chin showed that he had grown up.

A smile crept onto my face as I remembered how he would stare at me last night. I would've thought that it was strange, but I did the same, so it wasn't.

The only time I started to feel uncomfortable last night was when I notice Luke checking me out.

The way he bit his bottom lip when he stared at my legs made me feel uneasy, but at the same time, I was kind of flattered.

Luke never actually checked me out when we were younger. His eyes were always locked with mine, and that made me realize that he wasn't entirely like all the other teenage, hormonal boys high school still had to offer.

My eyebrows furrowed together when I suddenly heard soft whispering, making me turn my head slightly to see both Kyle and Val staring at Luke and me with huge smiles on their faces.

My eyes suddenly widened when Luke started moving beneath me, making me dart my eyes towards his brown eyes, which were staring at me.

"Morning," he said in a low, husky voice, making my body start to heat up.

"Morning," I said softly as I kept staring in his eyes.

"Well, just look at the two lovebirds" I heard Val coe making me immediately get off of Luke before glaring at her.

"We are not lovebirds," I said, making her giggle.

"Whatever you say," she said in a sing-song voice and a smirk on her face making me roll my eyes.

"Do any of you want some breakfast?" I asked as I looked between everyone to see them nodding before I turned towards the kitchen to go and make something to eat....
