Sarah’s POV
I was startled when the doorbell rang… I was still in his arms… I quickly pulled my self from him…
“I will get that…” Luke’s voice raised just behind the door.
When I raised my head, I saw him walking towards the living room. He was carrying something in both of his hands.
He was just behind the door, wasn’t he?
God! How long has he been there? He might have seen everything… I am pretty sure my face again turned red.
“He saw us, didn’t he?” I whispered.
“So what?” Jake chuckled.
“We were kissing and…”
“So… Did we do something illegal?” he laughed again. His whole face was lit up with a playful smile.
“You are insane…” I said, pouting.
“Don’t get stressed over little things, princess. We love each other. We don’t have to be afraid to show it. On the other hand, it is Luke… He is the only person in this whole world that understands and supports us without any condition…” he said in a confident voice. When he talked about Luke, his voice clearly showed how much he trusts Luke and how much Luke means to him.
How wonderful to have a friend like that…
*****
We ate pizza while watching TV. Jake was talking about some random stuff. But Luke was strangely silent. He didn’t even laugh at anything we talked about. I think he was extremely tired. Poor Luke.
Jake also felt his silent behavior… He asked Luke a few times as well. But Luke just smiled wearily.
I called dad after dinner and told that I am staying at one of my friend’s house. He didn’t even ask who the friend is. I know he doesn’t care even if I don’t inform him. But Jake insisted that I should tell him.
After that, Luke took Jake to the room, and help him to get into the bed.
“I will sleep on the couch in the living room in case you need me.” Luke offered.
“No need to sleep on the couch, we can share the bed…” Jake replied.
“What about you?” Luke asked me.
“I am going upstairs…” I quickly said.
“Why? You can stay here with him. You can tell me if he needs to go to the bathroom or anything.” Luke again asked.
“No… I am going upstairs…” I replied.
I would love to sleep next to him. It would be a dream come true. But tonight is not the right time for it.
“Okay, then… Shall we sleep now? I am so sleepy.” Luke said.
After saying goodnight to both of them, I came to Jake’s room. I took a quick wash and changed to Jake’s bottom and T-shirt, which Luke has kept for me.
I was feeling so tired too. So I quickly crashed to the bed. The pillow smelled like him. It actually feels like sleeping next to him. Within a few minutes, I fall into a deep sleep. Having sweet dreams about us…
********
I woke up early. Luke and Jake were sleeping so peacefully.
Letting them enjoy their sweet sleep, I came to the kitchen to prepare something for breakfast.
“Good morning…” Luke’s voice raised behind me when I was halfway done with preparing breakfast.
“Good morning…” I greeted and turn around to look at him.
He still looked tired, even after sleep.
“How is Jake? Did he wake up in the middle of the night?” I asked.
“No… He slept well thanks to the pain killers,” he replied, smiling.
“That’s great… Do you want some tea or coffee?” I asked.
“If it is not a trouble for you, tea sounds good…”
“How is it trouble for me? You do this much for us… Can’t I just make a tea for you?” I said, switching on the electric kettle.
“You were extremely tired yesterday night, weren’t you?” I asked.
“Yeah… I was a bit tired,” he said, sitting on a chair by the kitchen table.
“Not just a bit… You were completely different yesterday, during dinner… Like you are in a different world…” I said.
“What? Did I look like that? Then I was tired more than I thought…” he said, smiling after a small pause. But that smile didn’t reach his eyes as usual. I don’t know why, but when he talks, I felt there was something more than just exhaustion to his unusual behavior. Is he in some kind of a problem? Should I ask him about that? I was thinking while pouring hot water to his mug.
Luke’s
POV
She was preparing tea for me. I think she has observed that I was different from yesterday’s night. No matter how hard I tried, it was so difficult to hide my pain and misery. Even Jake asked me, why am I so silent during dinner. I didn’t know how to reply to him, so I
just skipped his question with a weary smile.
How can I tell my best friend and his girlfriend about my feelings? It will only make them sad and feel sorry for me. Sometimes, they may feel uncomfortable around me too. That is the last thing I want to happen. They are the most important people in my life. I want them in my life forever. So, I think it is better if I keep my feelings just to my self.
“Here you go…” she said, offering me my mug. She looked even skinny with extra-large clothes on her. But she still looks cute. No makeups, no hairstyles… Just pure, natural beauty… Exactly what Jake expects from a girl…
I have never met a girl who has gone through so much like her. She has suffered a lot. I think they treated her that badly just to impress Shane… Because everyone knew Shane has some unexplainable grudge over her. He never let a chance to hurt her, go away. But now, with my friendship with her, everything is getting changed little by little. People have started talking to her. They have started treating her as a human. They all may want to impress me now… People are that cruel. They only think about what gives them the best advantages. They don’t care about other people at all…
