Always Love You

Chapter 15

Oh my god! Luke's parents must be millionaires or billionaires to earn a huge gigantic house like this. Thought Cassidy while scanning the house.

Cassidy took a deep breath before walking down the driveway which leads to Luke's house. Then she walked down and tried to knock at the door.

“Hi Cass! You look great today.” said Luke smiling from ear to ear, opening the door even before Cassidy knocked at the door.

“Hi! Am I the first one to come?” asked Cassidy curiously.

“Well, not exactly. But if you want, you can think like that.” replied Luke sweetly.

“I brought something small but I'm not sure whether you would like it.” said Cassidy and handed over a small paper bag.

“Come in. Let's go up.” said Luke and started to lead the way to a room.

What's that sound? It sounds so gross. What? Is that Gerald? OH MY GOD! It's Gerald all right. But with Rosie??? Is he her boyfriend??? Ew... Thought Cassidy while following Luke.

“This is my room. I know that it's kind of messy, but still, that's the truth.” said Luke.

“Wow! I think it's tidy enough for a guy. I guess too tidy.” replied Cassidy and winked at him.

Cassidy scanned the room and found so many photographs hanged on his wall. Also, he had an instrument which DJ's use.

“Is that yours?” asked Cassidy, pointing at the instrument which caught her attention.

“Yes, why?” asked Luke.

“It's so beautiful. Are you planning to be a professional DJ?” asked Cassidy curiously while meddling the instrument.

“Not exactly. But... I want to make a DJ software which can even identify music when it hears them.” replied Luke and pulled Cassidy's hand away as she kept on meddling it.

“What?” asked Cassidy, looking a bit confused.

“Stop meddling with that. It's fragile.” replied Luke.

“It's not made  of glass though.” replied Cassidy while walking close to Luke's bed.

“It may not be glass, but still, it's breakable.” replied Luke and then signalled her to take a seat by tapping on the bed.

“So, who is invited today?” asked Cassidy after settling down comfortably.

“Well, all my friends as well as Gerald's friends.” replied Luke.

“Why Gerald's friends?” asked Cassidy curiously.

“He's more like a brother to me.” replied Luke shortly without giving further details.

So they have a bond that they are not going to reveal. Wonder what he meant by HE IS MORE LIKE A BROTHER. Why am I so interested to find out about him anyway? I'm so stupid I guess.

“Hello... Earth to Cassidy!” said Luke while waving his hand in front of Cassidy's face vigorously.

Cassidy suddenly shook as she was distracted while she was having a train of thoughts without any obstacles flowing in her mind. It was so smooth like a river flowing on a calm and quiet day without any rapid waves.

“Nothing.” replied Cassidy looking down.

“Don't lie to me.” replied Luke in a strong low voice which gave a great impact to Cassidy.

“Fine!” said Cassidy sounding as if she felt annoyed by him.

“I hope you were not thinking about what I told you about Gerald right now.” said Luke.

“As a matter of fact, I was wondering about it.” replied Cassidy staring back into Luke's eyes.

Why wondering and not thinking? Thought Luke and shook off the thought to a side of his brain and continued their discussion.

“He is kind of brother. Didn't he tell you?” asked Luke curiously.

“He didn't tell anything. In fact, he never talks about you or even mention your name.” replied Cassidy suddenly feeling curious to dig deep and learn about Gerald.

“Well! Then I'm not sure whether I should tell you.” said Luke sounding as if he is thinking whether to tell her or not.

“Why can't you tell me the truth?” asked Cassidy her curiosity level, developing every second without the answer.

“But you have to promise that you won't tell anyone. Okay?” asked Luke.

“Okay, then it's a deal. I won't tell any random people, my parents, my pillow or Guy.” replied Cassidy after turning to face Luke fully.

“Well, it's okay if you tell Jason. He knows about it anyway.' replied Luke.

“Does Gerald know that Guy knows about it? I have a feeling that he doesn't know about it.” said Cassidy sounding as if she is confident about it.

“Well, you are correct about that. That's one of the reasons that we don't talk to each other any more.” replied Luke, looking down sadly at the ground.

“Okay, then I won't tell even that to Gerald. He might try to kill Guy anyway as usual.” replied Cassidy.

“Well, no human can fight against Guy anyway. But, anyway if you so badly want to know about us than Gerald is my step-brother. My mother married his father after my father was found hacked to death.” replied Luke.

“Poor you. I feel so sorry for you. At least be happy that you have your mother just like me.” replied Cassidy trying to comfort Luke.

“Well, my mother died after a few months she got married.” replied Luke.

“Ouch!” said Cassidy feeling sad and happy that she at least has her mother unlike Luke.

“She was killed actually.” said Luke.

“By whom?” asked Cassidy curiously.
