Chapter 7

"What?"
I don't know why he had to say that. Doesn't he want someone else to hold me or even hug me? With that simple word of his, the more questions that come to my mind, the more frightening his voice is as he says that.
I don’t know if I’m right to think this. But I don't even want to be assuming so... just don't. I shook my head and took a deep breath. Aish. That's make me overthinking.
"Ne touche pas ma fille." he used an another language and I don't know what it is.
Allen chuckled. "Votre fille? Pourquoi?"
"Qui! Ma fille! Et elle est à moi, alors reculez!"
"Est-elle ta petite amie? Pour de vrai?"
"Qui!" Luke said then Allen's mouth formed an 'o'. I wonder what is it.
"Okay. Okay. Chill! I got it."
I didn't understand what they were talking about, but Luke seemed serious about what he was saying— even though I didn't know what it was.
Allen sat there on the sofa, next to Darcy. I followed Luke and continued watching.
"What are you and Allen talking about?" I asked him without looking at him.
"Nothing!"
"Eh? You're mean again. And you really use another language, huh! Ah!" I angrily threw popcorn at his mouth.
He just laughed. When we finished watching the bridge curse, we watched others, mostly romances, Allen chose that.
Almost all of us were watching and staring intently at the front, but it was next to me, I was the one he was watching. He’s been staring at me ever since we started watching romances. I'm a bit confused.
I faced him. "Is there ... dirt on my face?" I asked.
"There's nothing," he said without taking his eyes off me.
"So, why are you looking at me?" I asked like it's normal to ask.
"You're so beautiful," I heard him whispered.
My eyes widened a bit and my heart beat faster. "What?"
I just wanted to make sure that I heard him right. I might just fantasize about it and be embarrassed. It's embarrassing.
He smiled at me before looked at the T.V  "I didn't say anything. It's just your imagination, Blaire." He laughed a little.
I didn't answer, I just rolled my eyes at him. I took a deep breath before taking my eyes back in front. I don't know but, I felt disappointed. I never thought that I will feel disappointed like this.
I looked at Darcy. Speaking of, every time I looked at her, she was looking at me as if she says  'I hope a big shark eats you so that there are no obstacles in my plans'  and then he laughs like a demon. Terrifying! That's bad! I was just shaken by what I was thinking.
"Blaire," Clayton called me, the others also looked at me and at him.
"Hmm?" I looked at him.
"Where do you sleep? In the bedroom or here on the couch? Do you sleep well? How many days have you been here?" He asked one after another.
I looked away. "Uhm... I've been here for five days. I always sleep peacefully and it's good. And... I'm sleeping in the bedroom."
Their eyes widened and their mouth formed an 'o'. Why? What's up? Is there something wrong with what I said? I can think of no reason for them to react like that.
"Really?" Allen said like he seemed happy with what was happening now.
"Is it really true?" Clayton said as if he really couldn't believe it. Why?
"That's unfair!" Darcy added while frowning.
"Why? Is there something wrong?" I asked out of curiosity.
"We haven't been able to get into his room yet, then you... there's really something here," Clayton complained.
"Luke doesn't let anyone into his room. Even we, who are his 'friends' are not allowed there," Allen said calmly. He emphasized the word 'friends'.
"Luke! That's unfair!" Darcy growled in a contributing voice.
I just shrugged and shook my head at them. Luke is silent, does he seem guilty? I guess. Maybe. I don't know! I'm not sure. The expression on his face was still blank. I couldn't read it, not even in his eyes. He also bit his lower lip.
I didn't know that Luke did not let anyone into his room. Even his friends are not allowed. I can't believe it! Why can I enter?
In the evening, we drank and then we also put on lights, to pretend we were in a club and then there was a piece of music and then we also danced of course.
"Bottoms up!" Darcy said before looking at me and then smirked. What is her problem in life?
"Yeah!" Luke's friends said.
"Let's dance! Come on, Luke!" Luh? Darcy is really annoying. She's still very trendy, still dancing. I want to kick her to mars.
It's really fun, but there's an alien. This female sardine is so fidget. What she was doing in front of Luke just to get noticed but Luke didn't care, of course.
He still staring at me. Not removing even for a second. So weird! But... I don't know why my heart beat so fast when he looked at me like that. Something is really up with him.
"Hey!" I turned to Allen who was next to me, but he was not that close to me. He was three meters away from me.
"Hey! What's up?" I said while my smile is still on my face.
"How was it?!" He asked... what? 'How was it?' Why? What does he mean?
"What?!" I asked as my brows furrowed. I really don't get it!
"Staying here!" Oh! It's just it.
"We're okay! I'm happy... we are." We laughed little.
"Luke is so lucky to have you, you know!"
I laughed and sipped on my glass. "What do you mean?"
He just shrugged. "Nothing! Just focus on him and feel him!"
That was it! After Allen told me that, he left immediately. What's wrong with him? He looks... Uh... nevermind! I drank the residue of my beer. But someone approached me again.
I looked at my side and I saw Clayton and... he also three meters away from me. Again? "What's up?"
"You know, I prefer you than Darcy or anyone for Luke!"
My brows furrowed, I looked at him wondering in my eyes. "So...?"
He smiled. "Nothing! Just take care of him and he will take care of you, too!" He left after that.
"O... kay?" It's so weird! The people around me are so weird! I took one shot glass of beer again and drank it.
I looked at darcy, he was talking to Luke but Luke is busy examine me and thinking of me. I smiled at shook my head.
I was surprised when she suddenly danced a sexy dance in front of Luke. Because of that, Allen and Clayton screamed but their eyes are on me. Luke didn't care about what is in front of him, he just looking at me.
"It's your turn, Blaire!" Clayton said. He also winked at me before immediately looked away.
"Me? Why me?" I chuckled, I'm not even shock, it's rare.
"Go! Dance in front of him!" Allen cheered me up.
"Go Blaire! Go Blaire! Go Blaire!" They cheered me up again.
"Okay! Okay! Fine!" I put down my glasses and then went in front of Luke. "I will dance!"
There, I started dancing in front of Luke. Maybe, I'm drunk because I can even do this without thinking. I looked at darcy who looked at me with a deadly glare but I just smiled at her.
I bit my lower lip then turned to face Luke. I put both of my hands on his shoulders and looked into his eyes, my vision was a bit blurred by the alcohol. I felt Luke touched my waist and pulled me closer to him causing me to stop dancing.
Allen and Clayton screamed more like they're at the concert of their idols. I heard Luke's heartbeat and it's so fast or... maybe, it was mine. I smiled at him. I also saw that the side of his lips rose. He drank from his glass without taking his eyes off me.
"Do you want to sleep?" He asked and I just nodded.
I was no longer surprised when Luke carried me like a bride. Bride style. I laughed like a demon when I heard Darcy's complaint.
Luke slowly laid me down on the bed and at that moment I kissed him without thinking. I wrapped my arms around his neck so that I could kiss him more.
He was stunned for a second then I felt his lips started moving against mine. His body slowly leaned over me and his hands caressed my hair down to my face and neck. Just over and over. When our lips parted because we needed air, he looked at me intently.
"Sleep. You need to rest." He kissed me on my forehead and I just smiled before closed my eyes.
I woke up the next day and my head hurt so much, it felt like it was breaking. A fvcking hangover.
"Shit!"
There's a glass of water and medicine for headaches on the side table. So, I take the medicine. I took my phone from the side table to see what time it was. My eyes widened when I saw what time it is.
I quickly got up and went straight to the bathroom even though I still had a hangover. I took a shower quickly and got dressed quickly, too because I was late. Maybe I'll just pick up my other things later.
When I came out of the room, Luke was immediately the first I saw. Do he has no study?
"Hey! Good morning! I'll just take my things here later! Sorry, I need to go na. I'm late!" I said while I'm fixing my things in my bag.
"I'll take you there."
I shook my head. "No need! I can take care of myself." I smiled.
I was about to leave the unit when he suddenly grabbed my arm to stop me. I looked at him and he suddenly turned pale and seemed to have something to say as well.
"Why?" I asked straight, though my heart is jumping again and again. It's so fast.
"Uhmm... You'll be back here later, right?" I bit my lower lip and then looked down. Will I be back later? Even I, I don't know what the answer is.
I looked up like a brave girl. My brows furrowed and slowly nodded. "Yes! Why?"
He took a deep breath and looked at my eyes intently. He also held my hand and his hands are cold. I wonder what is he going to say. He looks like a nervous guy that was going to confess his feelings to a girl.
He sighed again and he slowly let go of my hand. My brows furrowed. I'm confused now! But... He held my nape and pulled me closer to him so that he could hug me easily.
"W-what's wrong?" I stuttered.
I heard his heartbeat and it's so fast, again! He sighed and let me go but he looked at me and smiled.
"Nothing. Just take care." He kissed me on my forehead, my nose, and last... on my lips before went inside to his unit.
And me, I was left shocked at what had happened. Maybe, he didn't mean it, maybe it was just an accident that he kissed me..... Oh no!... It wasn't an accident and I know in myself that he meant it. He f*cking meant it!
What did happened again?
I just walked to my car then got on and drove to the university, and still thinking so deep, I wonder why he kissed me? Why does he not seem to be Luke who was rude to me then? Why did I let that happen? Why did that happen? This is not good! NOT GOOD!
"HEY!" what the fuck!
I look who was it. That's Claire! She was standing in front of me with Eliza— one of my friends and also my block mate. I looked at her and raised my left eyebrow.
"What's your problem? Huh?" I asked them.
"Duh! We are calling you but you didn't hear us. You were just stunned there. Blaire, we can go home now," Claire said while her arms crossed in front of her chest.
I looked around. "R-really?" Are the thoughts that so deep and even when other students come out I didn't notice?
"Yes! And someone is waiting for you outside. So, get up there and go to Luke." Eliza left after she told me that. Oh! Is that so?
I got up and took my bag then went out so I could go to Luke. I swear, I didn't really notice that our class was over. I saw Luke, he was leaning against his car while his hands were both in his pants pocket.
"Hey, Luke! Why are you here?" I asked as I approached but I didn't expect him to kissed me on my forehead. Oh my god!
"Fetching you to take you home, in your condo," he winked at me as if he had not kissed me earlier. Why do I need to remember that again?
"W-why? F-for what?" I bit my lower lip, feeling so awkward now.
"From now on, I will always pick you up here at your university and take you to your condo. It's for your safety!" He said without taking his eyes off me.
I laughed awkwardly. "I can take care of myself, I am old enough to protect myself." I caressed my hair and looked away.
"I know," he whispered so I looked up at him. "And I will not say sorry for what I did... I will not say sorry for kissing you again, blaire. I have no regrets."

    I'm in a relationship and today when I went to the mall to help my mom with shopping I just stood there like a technological zombie texting my significant other. I walked around with my head down most of the time and jut maneuvered out of people's way with my peripheral vision. I'm very loyal when it comes to a relationship. When I make promises I'll keep them, and I despise people who break their vows. I believe a person is only as good as their words, and if they commit actions
