Destiny

Chapter 55

Sorry I haven't updated in forever, I've been kind of busy and I won't be able to post as often as before since I have exams in a few months - but I'll try to keep on posting!

Luke's POV

"Thanks for having me, I just want to say sorry for being a dick before. I was kind of in a bad place at that time but it's all changed now." Wayne announced, giving us all a small smile. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all.

"Do you want a drink? I'll show you what we've got," I asked him as I stood up. He nodded and followed me out of the room, Ruby flashing me a smile of relief as she knew I was making an effort for her.

I opened the fridge, standing back to let him have a look in and choose a drink - which he did, pulling it out and placing it on the kitchen surface as I got him a glass.

"I know it's in the past and I'm sure you don't want it to be dragged up again just as much as I don't, but I just want to say sorry for what I did. I must've really fucked things up for you." Wayne said with emotion.

"Look man, I can tell you've changed now so why don't we call this a fresh start?" I replied, almost ignoring what he had said as it hurt me to think about it.

He took a breath of relief as he grinned at me. "Sounds good. Hi there, I'm Wayne." He said as he stuck his hand out to me - making me laugh.

"I'm Luke, nice to meet you." I chuckled as he joined me. I always loved making new friends!

"Right Luke, let's go back in and stop being so fucking weird." He laughed, taking his glass as he left the room and I followed.

We spent the rest of the night joking around and getting to know each other - almost excluding everyone else for the night which Ruby didn't mind to much, as long as we were getting on I guess.

"Well, I better go now. I'll walk I think, I forgot to do my legs at the gym so..." He said seriously, making me laugh yet again.

"Alright, thanks for coming." I smiled confidently as I took him into a hug. He went around everyone else, hugging them goodbye, before leaving to go home.

"Nice to see you two are best of friends now." Ruby winked at me as she collected the empty glasses from the coffee table, Beau shooting her the evils. What's up with him?

"Yeah he's actually a great guy." I nodded as I helped her carry them into the kitchen.

"Thanks for doing that for me, it means a lot." She smiled as she wrapped her arms around my neck. "I really don't know how I got someone like you." She said sweetly before planting a kiss on my lips.

"Well, I do try my best." I smirked which made her giggle.

"Hey, do you know what's up with Beau?" She asked just as I began to leave the room which made me stop and turn around.

"I was thinking the same thing, he's seemed a bit pissed off all night. I'll ask him tomorrow if he's not so grumpy." I said and she nodded, her face softening. I'm sure it was just something stupid know Beau.
