My therapist. ~irwin~

18. Liar?

I wake up, stretching I grab my phone and dressing gown and walk down stairs. I grab a coffee mug and wait for the coffee.

I check my messages and notice Ashton hasn't contacted me since I saw him in the super market. I feel bad for saying stuff but I just wish I could go back in time and just die with Jane.

I sigh plopping on my couch and turning on the news. Nothing new on the news. Scrolling through Twitter, I favorite a few things and get a text from Luke.

Luke: How do you feel like about football?

I frown and raise my brow. I dont personally like footbal, I mean I can watch it but I can get bored really quick.

Me: Not a big fan but its cool, why?

Luke: Football tonight at Gary's, I can buy you dinner ;).

Me: Sounds good. Time?

Luke: I'll come pick you up at 7pm, So Its a date?

Me: Its a date ;)

...

I pull up my skinny high waist jeans and put on my boots. Grabbing my bag, I sit on the stairs and wait for Luke. I get a few messages from mum but I ignore them as I'm impatient to see Luke.

He said he would be here 15 minutes ago. I try call him but he doesnt answer, after another 15 minutes waiting, I take it as he isnt cominf so I walk back up stairs and sigh putting my pyjamas on.

I try call Luke again but no answer so I call mum. I chat to her and tell her how I plan on spending Valentines day alone. She seemed to sound happy and then told me she wasnt because she met someone. I'm happy for her, Its only been 5 years since dad left but Mum deserves to be happy.

I grab my lap top. I've been dumped on my 3rd Date with who I though was a real nice guy but I guess we cant always believe what we see and have been told. So Tonight I will watch Netflix until I fall asleep.

I click on the movies to watch in my library. Ah Bridget Jones will do me for tonight. I press play and find myself a comfortable spot and sigh watching it start. I groan because I need to pee.

Getting up, I enter the bathroom. I walk out going downstairs and grab some chocolate and a packet of popcorn. I'm going to stuff my face because I can.

I wait for the popcorn in the micro wave when the door bell sudently rings. oh my god, Its gotta be a serial killer. I glance at the clock before slowly walking to the door. 9:33. Shit! Its gotta be a serial killer or a killer neighbour.

I take a few deep breathes. Its probably a neighbour. I grab out the handle unlocking it and pulling it open.

-"Luke." I say shocked. -"What are you doing here?" And how the hell did you get my adress. Oh wait, he came to pick me up for our dates. I mentally face palm myself and look at Luke again who is standing in the cold rain.

-"I can explain." He says, I'm not sure if he is acting this because if he is, he is one hell of a good actor.

-"Okay, explain." I mumble looking at him.

-"Jas showed up at my place." He pauses. -"Asked what my plans were and we chatted. So I told her I needed to get ready for our date." He runs his fingers through is wet hair. -" so I left her in the living room for a few minutes and when I returned she had two sodas, she passed me one and to not be rude, I drank from it and talked to her when I felt myself get heavy and passes out." I cant believe she would do that, well I can but you know. I just cant believe she would drug Luke, at least his okay now.

-"Come in, you must be cold." I move out of the way to let him in.

-"Thanks." He smiles. -"When I woke, well about 20 mins ago, I checked the time and you came straight to my mind and I." He covers his face. -"I'm sorry." He apologises.

-"Its fine, okay? I understand. I know how Jas is, she is trying to ruin my career and probably my love life but you know." I sigh. -"The normal stuff."

He tilts his head smirking. -"I'll make it up to you, I promise." He says grabbing my hand.

-"You must be freezing." I say getting up. -"I don't have mens clothes but I have a few baggy t-shirts you could borrow." I smile walking up the stairs, I sign for him to follow me.

-"Are you saying we can have a sleepover?" He follows.

-"Aren't you a little bit to old for sleepovers?" I ask smirking.

-"Who said I've grown up?" He brings his bottom lip out.

-"Fine, Hemmings. You can have a sleepover." I whine going through my clothes.

-"Yeah! Is this my bed?" He sits on my double bed.

-"Hey! Don't get my bed wet!" I throw the massive t-shirt at him.

He laughs taking off his leather jacket and then his black plain t-shirt. I cant seem to look away from his body.
I feel my cheeks get hot, Luke looks at me and I immediately look away blushing.

-"You like what you see, eh?" He chuckles.

-"So you want to watch movies with me or you can go to sleep in peace in the spare room or you can watch tv." I say trying to find other options.

-"I prefer watching movies with you." He goes all shy.

-"Well thats settled, I was watching Bridget Jones diary but you can go through Netflix to see if you like any." I say walking out of the room and down the stairs, I grab the now cold popcorn and the bar of white chocolate and hurry up stairs.

I enter the room to find Luke no where. I feel a deep sensation of fright creeping up on me and my subconscious reminds me he is probably in the bathroom.

-"Luke? Do you want to watch Bridget or something else?" I call out but get no answer. I frown with the sensation again. I walk off to the bathroom to find it empty, shit, I knew the serial killer would get in.

I walk slowly back to the room and go to close the door when Luke jumps out from behind scaring the shit out me, I scream almost punching him in the face but I miss with him by a few inches.

-"Jesus, Lia." He laughs bringing his hand to his chest.

-"You idiot, you scared the shit out of me. You were so lucky I didnt get you." I say walking over to my bed. -"And for that, we are watching Bridget Jones." I say pulling the covers over me.

Luke smiles getting next to, he pulls me closer to him and I feel the heat rise.

I smile at the end of the film and close the laptop. Theres popcorn everywhere and I'm never having a sleepover with him again. Pillow fights, popcorn fights, him scaring me.

I leave the laptop on the side and look at Luke who is fast asleep. He looks so peaceful, I don't want to wake him to move to the spare room.
I feel myself getting heavy and the thought of moving tires me more. I pull the covers over me and snuggle up next to Luke. I feel so safe and calm. But is Luke lying?

...

My eyes flutter open and I move my arm slightly almost hitting Luke in the face.
Shit I forgot about him. What is that noise? Ugh its the door.
I move Luke's arm that his leaning on my stomach. I grab my dressing gown and hurry down stairs before the door bell wakes Luke up.

I glance at the clock opening the door, 10:30.

I glance over to the front door being opened and Ashton's face is staring at me.

-"Good morning, Lia." He says holding a bouquet of flowers.
