Trusting Betrayal

Chapter Four

The alarm read 6:15 am

Allison blinked against the bright light. She made to move but hit a solid obstacle.

Luke

Allison smiled just a little. Yesterday had been a night of maddening sex.

Oh God! She had a seminar to attend and she was here daydreaming. She looked down at Luke's tanned and muscled backside.

Allison dragged the sheet with her as she got up to prepare. Luke groaned from behind her. Allison smiled and threw a pillow on his butt. She made to tiptoe to the bathroom but stopped when a voice rang out, husky and untamed.

"Where are you tiptoeing off to?"

Allison blushed "Trying to make it to my seminar on time, ace"

Luke scoffed and glanced down "So you took the sheets and stuffed me with a pillow? Come on" He made to get up and had a chance to glimpse the digital clock beside the bed.

Shit!He got up fully and stretched "I have got to get back". By the time he looked up again, she had already disappeared into the bathroom. He sat back on the bed.

Yesterday night had been very incredible. He groaned as his cell phone began to ring. He glared at the caller ID. Shit. Andrea. He debated whether he should pick the call. Fuck it. He picked up.

"Hello, baby".He said into the phone and grimaced when he heard her voice. It was suspicious. Shit! He didnt need a girlfriend frying him over hot coals.

"Where have you been? I have been trying your number. I even called Nathan but he couldn't confirm your location".She went on and on.

Luke ran a hand through his blond hair. God! He owed Nathan one "Hold on, sweetheart. I had an urgent business to take care of. The host told me to make use of his guesthouse, okay? I am on my way".With that, he disconnected the line.

Luke looked up and made eye contact with Allison.

"You should go".With that, Allison turned on her heels and walked out of the room.

***************************************************

Luke pressed the doorbell to Nathans house. A maid in royal blue and white opened the door.

"Welcome, sir"she curtsied "Mr. Nathan is in the library"

Luke muttered thanks before heading to the library. He opened the door without knocking and found Nathan hunched over some documents, his brows drawn together, concentrating on what was before him. Nathan had always been the one that could concentrate on anything without stress. They had always been there for each other but Nathan was the strongest one.

Nathan looked up, his piercing dark blue eyes looking straight at Luke. He relaxed. Luke was looking agitated.

"Hey, man".Luke walked into the rooms and sank into a chair. Nathan got up from his chair and went to sit opposite Luke.

"Yeah, maybe you could tell me why you weren't answering Andrea's calls".
  Luke smoothened his brows "Uh- huh. After a drink."

Nathan got up and walked over to the minibar. "Brandy or whisky?"

"Brandy" Luke replied.

Nathan poured them both drinks and handed one to Luke before seating himself.

"Go on"Nathan said, undoubtedly talking business. Luke tipped the glass back and allowed it to warm him. The fluid spread slowly.

"Man, I feel good now"

Nathan tilted his head "I'm waiting"

"Fine. I actually had a business to take care of. It ran late so I was kinda late so I was kinda stuck."

Nathan waited a beat. "You havent answered my question, Luke"

"Fine. My phone was switched off. I didn't want any disturbance".He stood up, agitated.

"So, how was the business? Did you get a good deal?".
  Luke paused and swung back to look into Nathans eyes.

"I slept with Allison"

Nathan who was in the process of drinking his brandy choked on it. He coughed and took a long sip of water.

"Fuck! You what?" Nathan stared in disbelief at his friend.

"You heard me, Nathan. I had sex with Allison". Luke began to pace agitated around the spacious room. He leaned heavily on the table and restlessly took in his environment. Nathan smelled trouble. Luke sleeping with Andrea's best friend? Shit.

He looked over to where Luke sat brooding over his brandy.

"What are you going to do now?". Luke shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe we should keep it a secret" He paused "Should I?"
Nathan thought for a little while.

"You know I won't tell you to tell her. I don't know man but what were you thinking? Allison is Andrea's fucking best friend"

Luke rounded on him "Do you think I don't know that already? So why do you think I feel so sick?"

Nathan chuckled "I would have said that was because you were feeling sorry that you had cheated on Andrea"

Luke crossed over and snatched Nathan's drink from him "I know. I know"
