Well… When he talks like that, it actually made me feel bad… I hate lying to people… I wish I didn’t have to do this act…
“This is a spare key to my house…” he said, checking his trouser pockets and taking a key out.
“You are welcome to visit anytime…” he said happily.
Luke’s POV
*****
Since childhood, I like to do detective stuff… I was a die-hard fan of detective stories too… Especially, Agatha Christy’s work… I never thought I would get a chance to play a detective role in real life.
Sarah went on a date with Andrew. We didn’t have to put any effort into that because Andrew himself asked Sarah to go on a date after she bought him an apology gift. They went to a nearby restaurant, and I sent both Bob and Glenn for Sarah’s safety. Then Shane and I went to Andrew’s house. Since we had the spare key, we entered his house without any problem.
We decided that we should separately search for other rooms and the master bedroom should be searched by both of us. Because there is a high possibility that he keeps his secrets in his bedroom.
Neither of us could find anything from the other rooms. So we both came to Andrew’s bedroom.
“I wish we could find something from here. I don’t want to go home empty-handed after putting this much effort.” Shane said, entering the room.
I nodded, agreeing to what he said. We must find something.
I was going through the small bookshelf Andrew had. But I was a bit nervous. I don’t know why, but I was looking at Shane from time to time. He was paying his fullest attention to his work and going through Andrew’s study desk drawers. It is rare to see Shane focussing on anything other than football… But today, he is super serious, and concentrate a hundred percent. With his serious mood, he looked damn sexy…
I was ignoring him as much as I could, but after Jake faced that accident, I couldn’t ignore Shane anymore… With everything that was happened in the past few days, I don’t even know how would I make it if Shane was not there with me. He always listened and understood me during this period. Since Sarah was also not around, he was the only comfort I had.
It is totally unbelievable how much he has changed. How much he hated Sarah, but now he is willing to do anything for her happiness…
“There is nothing here as well…” Shane said, turning to me. He got confused because I was already staring at him when he turned to me. God! I don’t suit to be a detective, it seems, how much I got distracted by this guy in front of me. “Why?” he asked confusedly.
“Nothing… I didn’t find anything as well… ” I replied.
He nodded his head… Then we both started searching again. This time Shane was searching the drawers in Andrew’s wardrobe…
“See, Luke…” he said, showing me some white papers, and at the same time, we heard someone open the front door.
“What the fu**? Has he come home?” Shane asked,
“It cannot be him. Sarah would tell us if he leaves the restaurant.” I said.
We both hurried to the door to see who entered the house. Shane was in front of me.
“I think that’s a maid… She is coming this way… Hide!!!” Shane whispered.
If we tried to go out of the room, there is a high possibility she sees us, so we thought it is safe to stay in the room.
“Where should we hide…” Shane asked, moving his eyes nervously around the room.
“Come…” grabbing his hand, I hurried to Andrew’s wardrobe. We both went inside the wardrobe and closed the door. Thank God, it was large enough to cover both of us… But we didn’t have much space to stand without touching each other…
“Sorry…”Shane whispered when he accidentally touched my leg, and he tried to move a bit away from me. But there was no space for him to move, his back hit the wardrobe frame and made a noise. Right at that time, we heard that maid entered the room. I quickly, hold Shane’s hands to imply it is okay to accidentally touch me because we don’t have space. Silently he stayed as it is, without moving even a bit.
That maid was changing Andrew’s bed linen… She was humming a song and doing her work leisurely. She seems like she has no hurry.
I was still holding Shane’s hands… Our legs were touching together… I even felt his warm breath on my face. I got an unknown sensation deep down my heart…
Since the day, Shane kissed me at our celebration, he didn’t make any move on me. He didn’t even say a word about that, he just tried to be there for me whenever I need him.
I can’t ever get rid of my feelings for Jake… I am totally obsessed with him. I love him the same way Shane loves me, isn’t it? We both love without expecting anything in return… We both are making sacrifices for the person we love. No one knows more than me how frustrating it is to be in one-sided love. So, Shane also feeling the same frustration, right…
Why can’t I give Shane a chance? I know, I have tried to be with other people, but it has never worked, but what if it will be changed when it comes to Shane… What if we could start a life together…
Yes… There is a high possibility of that. If I feel anything for a guy other than Jake, that is for Shane… I hated him for the way he treated Sarah, that is reasonable. But the way he behaves with other girls made me angry, what is the reason I got angry about that? I have felt jealousy, haven’t I? No matter how hard I tried to deny it, even before he told me his feelings, there was a special place for him in my heart.
The maid left the room after changing the bed linen…
Shane released a sigh… I released his hands…
It was dangerous to come out of the wardrobe. So, we stayed the same… My legs were hurting, standing without even moving a bit for a long time…
But I didn’t care about that, my mind was completely filled with thoughts about Shane… I was lucky because inside the wardrobe it was dark, so Shane couldn’t see my face. Otherwise, he would clearly notice the change in my face…
However, I think this is a chance God gave me. If I don’t do it today, I won’t be able to do it ever again.
Then we heard the front door opened and closed. The maid should have gone out.
“Thank God, I was about to get a cramp,” Shane said, trying to move and open the wardrobe door.
Luke! Gather up courage and act, show him your feelings.
I stopped him from opening the door and placed my hands on his face… We were about the same height, so it was not difficult to find his lips even in the dark…
The moment our lips touched together, Shane’s whole body trembled…
At first, he was not kissing me, but within a second, his lips started to take the lead… We were kissing each other passionately, and for a moment I totally forgot Jake as well…

Shane’s POV
When Luke stopped me from opening the wardrobe and placed his lips on mine, it made my heart stop. I never expected that from him at that time. I knew he doesn’t disgust me anymore, I realized that during the past few days. But kissing me!!! That is totally surprising.
When he started the kiss, I couldn’t even realize what was going on, but within like a second, I came to my senses and started kissing him back… God knows how many times I have kissed people in my life, but so far, this is the best kiss I had… After sharing a deep kiss, we both stepped out of the wardrobe…
Inside the wardrobe, it was so dark. Therefore, we didn’t see each other’s faces though we kissed. When we saw each other after coming out, it felt really awkward…
“Let’s go, there is nothing here,” Luke said. I bet he felt the same awkwardness.
Then only I remember about the papers I found from wardrobe drawers. I had put them in my pocket when we had to hide.
“I found these…” I said, taking those papers out.
