He smiled at this, finding nothing but amusement in my words like the narcissistic control freak he was. Luke stepped forward, cornering me against the hard wall so I had no chance to escape. One hand was pressed against the space next to my head, while he slowly brought his other hand up to my neck. I was frozen in fear and confusion as to what he was about to do, when he suddenly took two fingers and pressed them against my skin. I could feel my pulse thumping against his touch, wishing I could do nothing but slow down my erratic heartbeat to help my case. But with Luke's fingers burning the skin of my neck by his touch and his close proximity to me, I felt like I couldn't breathe properly. "Then why is your heart racing, troublemaker?"

Frankie has made several mistakes in her life. Ones that are hard to forgive. No matter how hard she's tried, the lies she's told are hard for her brother to forget. Being the rockstar he is, Calum has been misled before. By friends, family, even the media. Frankie is forced back into Calum's life when her anxiety costs her job. The love between the two is now riddled with awkwardness and unspoken words. And if Frankie's complicated relationship couldn't get worse, his best friend desperately needs her help. Luke Hemmings has made just as many mistakes as Frankie, but unlike her, he doesn't see a problem with his ways. Until his job is nearly threatened. What the two don't realize is how alike they truly are. Both are fighting to make amends with the people they've hurt. And that redemption might come at the hands of each other.

❝ 'It's official.' I said, looking around the room once more before meeting Luke's eyes. 'I hate you.' 'He laughed. 'You couldn't hate me even if you tried.' ❞ © hemmkinks

"You do, don't you? You hate me?" When I didn't answer he took another step closer, his chest hitting mine. "Oh, you don't? You want to hate me, but you can't." He smiled cockily, anger coursing through me. "Get out."

"Do you like doing it?" "Do I have a choice?"

What kind of mess have we gotten ourselves into
