You Don't Know Me (Punk Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 12: The Day After

*LACEY'S POV*

I wake up in the morning. It's just 6am. Last night was the worst night of my life. I can't imagine anything worse. I should fight back more and longer. But I probably wouldn't have any chance against him anyway. I'm still lying on my bed naked. Exactly like he left me there. I'm ashamed of what happened. I don't want anyone to know about this. I don't want to talk about this to anyone. Not even Lola. I'm pretty sure she would tell my brother and he would want to fight Luke. I did a stupid mistake when I agreed I'll go with him on that stupid ball. At first, I should never organize it. This would never happen. The story of us would start and end on that night in the shop. The shop! Then it hits me. I am supposed to open it in an hour. I try to stand up from the bed, but it hurts so much. I slowly walk into the bathroom and turn the shower on. I step in and hope for the warm water to wash all that pain away.

After few hours in the shop, I am suddenly alone. If the rest of the day will be like this, I don't know what I'm going to do here. Suddenly someone opens the door. I look up and see, Michael is standing there. He's looking at me and smirks. "What do you want?" I ask him standoffishly. "I thought this is a public place" he tries to give me an innocent look, but I know he's just messing with me. "Yeah, so if you want to buy something, you're welcome, but if not, get out" I say without any interest. "What if we would have a little fun?" he asks and when I raise my eyebrows he adds "you know, like you had last night with Luke" he winks at me. In that moment I totally freeze. I don't know what to say, what to think. I feel like my cheeks start to turn red. "If I know, you have a girlfriend" I encourage myself to speak. "Well, and if I know, Luke has too" he grins at me "yeah honey, he's back with Laura. But he said you sounded pretty desperate last night, so he felt like he needs to take care of you. But when he came to your house, you wanted a sex from him." I open my mouth in shock, but I close it right in the moment after. So that's his version? Is that some kind of a revenge or what? If he wants to play this game then fine. I'll play it with him. I'll show him who is he really playing with. I'm giving up on to be that good girl. It's time to turn the tables. "Oh really? Then why didn't he fight with me if he didn't want it?" I ask him with a smile on my face. He just opens his mouth "go fuck yourself" he strains through his teeth and leaves. I guess I'm the winner. For now.

When I come back home it's almost midnight. I park my car in the driveway next to a black Land Rover. I don't need to think about whose car it is. I already know. I get off of the car and put a big smile on my face. I check if the car is locked and turn myself to the house. I'm walking closer and closer to the front door and the person sitting on the stairs. When he sees me coming, he stands up.

*LUKE'S POV*

I don't say anything. She passes by me without any word with a smile on her face. What the fuck is going on? Why is she smiling? She opens the door and walks in. I hesitate a little bit, but then I follow her inside. I thought she's like a book. Last night she was. I could read her and predict all her actions and reactions, but today she's different. She goes upstairs, but I'm standing downstairs. I don't want to go up there. Maybe I should apologize. I could at least stay longer last night. Instead of it, I just left right after.

*LACEY'S POV*

I'm going back downstairs. "What's going on Hemmings?" I ask with an innocent smile on my face like nothing happened between us. The look on his face reflects he's in shock when I called him by his last name. "What do you mean White?" he does exactly the same thing, but he can't bother me anymore. "So, I called you, right? And I was desperate, right? And, yeah, I was the one, who wanted to have sex, right?" His eyes widen "who told you this?" Look like he doesn't know, "your friend Michael has a big mouth" I smirk at him. He nods "yeah, looks like he does" and smiles. "You know, I don't get it. First you're all like I'm not going to hurt you, then you invite me to the school ball on which by the way you have sex on the girls' toilets with your ex-girlfriend, oh, wait, now your girlfriend again, then come to my house and fucking rape me" I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm really mad, "and you tell your friends I called you because I was desperate and you came here to calm me down but it turned to that I wanted to have a sex with you" I breathe again. The look in his eyes shows I hurt him. I really did. He looks so hurt and vulnerable right now. "I'm so sorry Lacey" he says quietly. "You should go" I tell him because I can't look at him anymore. I'm sick of him. All these lies. I can't do this anymore. "Lacey" he says my name quietly and walks slowly towards me. "No Luke, just get off, please" I say and turn my head away from him. Few seconds later I hear like someone slam the door. He's gone. For now.
