Brother's Best Friend (Chapter-3)

I laid in my bed, just listening to the music beating into my room. Maybe I was a fucking loser? Okay, I knew I was a loser but my own brother didn't have to call me out like that. Also I wasn't a fucking virgin, I just wasn't a whore like him. It was late and I was really hoping the party would start to fizzle out. There was a gentle knock on my door and I rolled over to face it. My mum obviously.

"Come in," I said, getting ready for this depression pep talk. 

"Hey." I looked up at Luke, closing the door behind him, I sat up, pulling my dress down. My heart was already beating against my ribs.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him, confused. 

"I wanted to check on you, that was fucking awful down there." He sat on the bed next to me and I shrugged. 

"I told you he hates me," I chuckled lightly. 

"Are you okay? Seriously are you okay?" His brow was crossed and I faced him, sitting on my knees.

"Why do you care?" I asked him. Me and Luke were always friendly, he was at my house majority of the time, but caring about me was a bit of a push. Luke moved his head back, confused. 

"What? Why do I care?" He repeated. 

"At school you never spoke to me," I raised my arms. 

"That was six years ago Kat," Luke laughed, making me slap his shoulder. "Why are you acting like this is our first conversation?" 

"Maybe I'm thinking what Kane said was right. Why would you want to talk to me?" I pulled my dress down my thighs further. Luke moved further onto the bed facing me. 

"Fuck Kane. He isn't wrong, I do generally only talk to beautiful women, which is why I'm talking to you." He gave me a cheeky smirk and I giggled like an idiot. 

"That was so cheesy," I laughed. 

"Yeah it was," he smiled, running his hand down his head. "Kane can be a douche, he always has something to prove for some reason, I don't know," he shrugged, moving closer to me.

"Then why are you his friend?" I asked. Kane and Luke were completely different, I always felt Luke was more like me, reserved and not a fucking loud mouth. 

"Because I've known him for years. I normally can calm him," he laughed lightly. "Not tonight obviously." 

"Obviously," I whispered, my hands sweaty. "You better go back, don't want Kane knowing you're sitting with his l

oser sister," I dropped my shoulders, I was starting to panic Kane would come looking for him and I wasn't in the mood for another shouting match. 

"Kat stop. You aren't a loser. Not everybody can be fancy and go to university like Kane." Luke rolled his eyes and I nodded, he was right. 

"You're right. You have your life together and we're the same age." I smiled at him. 

"I wouldn't say life together but I knew what I wanted to do. You don't know yet, nothing wrong with that." He shrugged. Luke was a youth worker and from what I knew of his personality, I knew he was one of the best. 

"Thanks, you made me feel better," I smiled at him. He really did too. 

"No worries," he whispered, looking up at me. I swallowed hard as Luke's hand came to my cheek, moving my head forward. 

"What are you doing?" I asked, my voice trembling.

"I was going to kiss you," he said quietly. My stomach flipped, this could not be happening. 

"Erm why?" I asked again, neither of us moving. 

"Because I wanted to and I had a small feeling you wanted me to? I don't have to," he trailed off and I grinned, watching his face. I couldn't quite believe this was happening, he was far too attractive for me and God would this piss Kane off. "Do you want me to kiss you?" Luke asked, scanning my face. I thought about it as I looked up at his full, soft lips. As they were this close to me and his aftershave tickling my nose I knew my answer. 

"Yes," I said firmly and watched him smile. 

"Good," he whispered, moving his head closer to me, our lips gently grazing against each other. I closed my eyes as Luke moved his hand into my hair, his mouth opening mine. I grabbed onto his jacket as his tongue entered my mouth, it was soft and cold, rolling against my own. 

"Luke!" He pulled away as we both heard Kane's voice, he sounded drunk and Luke chuckled. 

"That's my cue. Give me your number." He stood up, passing me his phone. I quickly put my number in it, watching him slip out the door. I put my head back on the pillow, oh this evening had changed for the better. Even if we only shared that one kiss I was a very happy woman. Luke was sexy as fuck and my whole body prickled, in between my legs feeling heavy as I rolled back around, playing that tiny kiss in my mind.
