Chapter 8

• It's lunch time and am with the girls in the cafeteria eating.
• Lesson was awesome, studying is really fun..except for Francesca being mean to me.
• BBB girls? Why isn't it FLA or something.
• The next class am going is English... I can't wait.
• "Who is going to English class?" I asked.
• "Me," Patricia said.
• "Are you sure you want to go?" She asked and I nodded.
• She stood up and beckoned me to come.
• "Carry your bag and let's go or we'll be late," She said.
• "Bye guys," I said as I stood up and followed her.
• "The English teacher is so dull and boring," She said along the way.
• "Bummer, but that's not gonna stop me," I said.
• "We'll see then," She smirked as we got into the class.
• Thank God that we didn't draw any attention to ourselves.
• I sat on an empty seat close to the window..and Patricia sat behind me.
• The teacher heels shook the ground as she appeared in front of the class.. Her mean face scared me a little but not much...
• Now I don't think she's dull...mean people are active right?
• Lesson started immediately and I take back everything I said...
• She's super dull...
• Boring!!!
• I think I slept in her class.
• This woman shouldn't make me hate English.
• Luke POV
• Today has been stressful and boring.
• I've just been on my bed since with my laptop and phone to keep me company and the maid Sandra.
• Katherine is home but I'm not in the mood for my annoying sister.
• A knock came from the door as I was on my laptop. Due to laziness I didn't stand up.
• Maybe it's Sandra? I thought.
• "Come in," I yelled and the door slowly opened revealing Katherine.
• Speak of the devil.
• "Excuse me?" She yelled with her arms folded.
• "What?" I asked.
• "So I'm the devil right?" She asked with her annoying voice.
• Did I say that our loud?
• "Yes, you did," She said and I smirked.
• "First time you ever knocked," I said and stood up.
• "Don't get so excited, it's not going to last," She said and I rolled my eyes.
• Why does she always annoy me.
• "What do you want," I sat as I sat down on my couch.
• "Dad," She was saying but I interrupted her with a cough.
• "Mr Howard made a proposition with someone, and for it to be carried out. You have to get married to their daughter," She said and I sighed.
• "Count me out," I yelled and carried my phone.
• "We really need this," She said.
• "Why can't you get married to their son, why me?" I yelled.
• "It's the daughter that will succeed them one day," She said.
• "I don't care, he should adopt a boy and make him marry her," I said.
• "Do that make an sense to you?" She asked.
• "It's does, now please get out of my room," I said and she sighed and walked to the door.
• "What's her name?" I asked and she stopped and turned to me.
• "You'll find out soon, just please agree to it," She smiled and walked out.
• The next second a knock came from the door again.
• It just seems like my room is everyone's playing ground.
• Something just pushed me to open the door myself.
• I opened only to see Sandra smiling and holding a tray in front of me.
• "Here's your food sir Luke," She said and I shut her a glare.
• "I am still not used to calling you by your name, please forgive me," She said bowing her head.
• "I am not angry with you, please come in," I said and make way for her.
• She walked into the room and kept the tray on the table.
• "I'll get you a glass of water," She said and hurried out, and in a minute she was back.
• "Please stay, don't argue," I said and she nodded before sitting on my bed.
• Anytime I'm with her I feel at easy, safe and free.
• We have known each other from childhood and she has been our maid from little...that's how we knew each other.
• She normally called me Luke and plays a lot but as my mom died she withdrew into her shell.
• She calls me sir Luke because of my strict father...she got so used to it that she can't stop.
• I ate and stared at her, she was a bit shy because I was looking at her.
• She's a shy girl.
• She wanted to say something but she stopped. I know her go well to know that it was important to her.
• "What's wrong?" I asked and looked at me.
• "Huh," She asked with her dazzling eyes almost making me lose my mind.
• "Why are you staring at me that way?" She asked and I felt embarrassed.
• I can't believe that I was really staring at her.
• "It's nothing," I said and she shrugged and looked away.
• Only the sound of my spoon and plate hitting each other could be heard. We were both silent and shockingly am a big fan of silence but I hate it when am with her.
• I want her to talk so that I'll stare into her eyes forever and also get to hear her sweet voice.
• "Are you getting married," She asked with her face still backing me.
• "I don't know," I said.
• "Okay," She said lowly.
• "I don't know who she is," I said and took my last spoon out of my dish.
• "She must be lucky," She said.
• "Will you marry her if you know her?" She asked as she turned to me.
• I looked into her eyes and found out that it was looking glassy.
• "I don't know," I said.
• "Oh," She said and looked at the tray.
• "I better go drop the plates," She said and collected it from me.
• "Hey, I'll never leave here," I said.
• "I hope so," She muttered and walked out.
• I lasted on my bed facing the ceiling.
• I need help, what should I do.
• Should I get married or not?
• This is so hard.
• Sandra POV
• I hurriedly walked out of sir Luke..I mean Luke's room, I went to the kitchen and started washing the dishes and holding myself not to cry.
• "Sandra please make salmon for me," Katherine said.
• "Yes madam," I said with a shaky voice.
• Oh no, why can't I control my voice.
• "Are you alright?" She asked.
• "Yeah, I am fine," I said.
• I could feel her coming closer to me, then she made me turn to her and looked into my eyes.
• "I know you won't tell me what wrong but don't let Luke see you like this," She said and I nodded.
• Luke doesn't like to see me cry, he doesn't like to see me and Katherine cry.
• "She's going to be there" Mr Howard said from the living room.
• "So what then?" Luke asked.
• "I want both of you to meet," His dad said and he groaned.
• "Katherine," Mr Howard called.
• "Coming dad," She said and hopped to the living room and I continued with my washing, then prepared to cook.
• "We are going out? But what about my salmon," She asked.
• "Salmon? We'll wait for that," Said Luke and I rolled my eyes.
• Fish lover!!
• "Hey!" Someone said behind me and I jumped only to find Luke laughing.
• "I almost had an heart attack," I said holding my chest.
• He was now wearing white pants and an orange cute shirt.
• He looked beyond handsome. I'm still wondering if he's in a secret relationship.
• "Aren't you done yet," He said stretching neck to take a glimpse of the food.
• "Almost done," I smiled and turned to my cooking.
• "Can I help?" He asked.
• "I'll be fine, don't argue," I said and he laughed and walked out.
• A few minutes later, I was done and I carried the salmon to the table.
• They were already seated, I walked back to the kitchen and carried the dishes.
• "I am sure you'll like her," He said and I passed him his plate.
• "Don't push it dad," Luke said and I passed Katherine hers.
• "Thanks," She said and I nodded.
• "You are going to get married, whether you like it or not," He said.
• I was about going to give Luke his, but when I heard that sentence, I froze.
• When Mr Howard wants something he's gonna get it.
• Why do I feel this way anytime this topic arise.
• My legs and hands were shaking and the thought of Luke getting married filled my head. The plate came crashing down to the floor.
• They all turned to me, I quickly bent to pick it up to avoid looking at Mr Howard.
• "Don't pick it, you'll get hurt," Luke yelled but I dare not look up.
• I was picking them ghastly and didn't notice when it pierced into my finger and a let out a small groan.
• Luke quickly stood up pulled out a broom to sweep it.
• He pulled me up and held me.
• "Luke come and eat your salmon, I'll take care of her," Katherine said.
• "I can do that by myself," He said and we walked to upstairs.
• "That will waste time, we have to go," His dad said.
• "We can go tomorrow," He yelled.
• "That's impossible," His dad said.
• "I said tomorrow," He yelled with fire in his eyes and his teeth grinding.
• This Luke is scary...
• "Kids," His dad rolled his eyes and started eating
• We resume our walking, and we got to my room.
• He went out and later came back with a first aid kit.
• Sat me on the bed and started treating it.
• "I told you to let it be," He said not staring at me.
• "I am sorry," I sniffed and he looked up to me.
• "Don't cry please, I hate seeing my family cry," He said and I cried more.
• He sees me as his family nothing more or less.
• He was done with treating the cut. Now we were talking about our memories of being wounded.
• "Remember that time I twisted my ankle and you carried me on your back home," I said.
• "I was so stupid not to take a cab or call the driver," He said and I laughed.
• "Why do you say so," I asked.
• "My back and leg hurt badly," He said and I gasped.
• "Why didn't you tell me," I asked.
• "You would have walked with that leg," He said.
• "It's still not fair," I said.
• "I just don't want you to feel pain, I want to take all your pains away. I just can't stand seeing you in pain," He said and I smiled.
• "Mind if I sleep here?" He asked.
• "I.. I.. don't think that's a good idea," I stammered.
• He's gonna drive me insane.
• "Please, pretty please," He said.
• "It's your house anyway, you can do anything you want," I said.
• "But it's your room, you get to tell me what to do," He said and I smiled.
• "Sure," I said.
• "Cool," He said and carried a blanket towards the bed.
• We both lay our backs on the bed and he used the blanket to cover me.
• I was a little shy, staring at him face for long before I slept off.
