Chapter Part 27
Zoe’s wish came true, three days after the celebration, and Luke was back. Apparently, he wasn’t really liking it at his dad’s place even if his dad’s place was practically where he grew up, he thinks he liked it more over here.
Immediately after Luke got home, he gave her a call since she wasn’t at home! Zoe had gone to see Dora’s place. Zoe told him she was going to be home very soon. Luckily, she still had another day of vacation before school resumed.
She felt surprised by how bad she wanted to see Luke. It felt like a physical need, This made her feel better that Luke was still the one! She decided that from now on she was going to look at Alex as a friend and nothing else.
Maybe no more call conversation, just texting? “No, she was too close with Alex.” She mumbled to herself. No more holidays together. no matter how she hated Alex being alone she knew having him spend time with her family made him even closer to her life.
Of course, she didn’t want to shove him away completely! Just a respectable distance would do. Zoe also decided that whatever that was going on between Alex and Bella wasn’t her business any longer.
She thought that was quite a bit of progress! Right? Anyway, Luke was home and she just couldn’t wait to go home so they could spend a great time together. Her dad wasn’t back from his trip and mum went out, so she had the house to just her and Luke.
She couldn’t wait to get cuddled up in his arms, to be sincere she could walk into Luke’s room wearing whatever she wanted. She wasn’t as bold as this but maybe age was giving her much confidence.
When Luke and her started dating, she was super shy because of her braces and most especially the way she dressed. Zoe would barely even k**s him but now she couldn’t get enough of his k****s.
Wow, that sounded so slutty. She immediately left Dora’s place to go home, she reached home and Luke wasn’t home. She tried to call him, he answered saying he had gone to the grocery store to get some items. She just couldn’t wait for him to get back, she went upstairs to get changed.
She gazed at the matching pink bra and pants in her closest, the minute she put that on! Her mind kept racing and talking about intimacy. Zoe knew she was not sensible and that she was just scared to have s*x.
She sat down on her bed contemplating whether to wear it underneath her clothes in case things went a certain way when Luke arrived. She didn’t even know if today was the day she could finally make love with Luke and pop her cherry.
Ugh, that thought gave butterflies inside her belly. It was too sweet for her liking, her tummy kind of felt shallow thinking about today being the day they would actually do it.
Even though it was against her better judgment, she decided to wear the bra and panties underneath her clothes.
She fixed her hair and wore little makeup before going downstairs into the kitchen. She had no slightest idea why she went to the kitchen! Maybe for some water to calm her nerves. Right? She grabbed a cup and filled it with water before seating herself on the dining chair to gulp the whole content.
Her palms felt very sweaty, she hated when they did that. Zoe knew she was definitely overreacting but she just couldn’t help it. She checked through the window feeling lost.
They had gotten a bunch of snow these past few days. She shivered for no good reason, Zoe was too frozen in her chair to check what time the clock says. She waited for about fifteen minutes before the door swung open and Luke walked inside.
She felt her pulse quicken, and Zoe let out a few puffs! She needed to get a grip.
Seriously, she didn’t need to die of a heart attack at this early stage. It felt like slow motion as she walked to the door and jumped on Luke for a hug.
”Hey beautiful,” Luke said, hugging her tightly as she tried to k**s every inch of him. ”Wow, missed me so much?” Luke asked, laughing.
”Nope,” she lied looking up at his face. He kissed her lips and she felt like she had been holding her breath for a long, Zoe could now breathe properly. She pulled away smiling, that was the smile Zoe assumed to be her killer smile.
”It feels like we have been apart forever, and we haven’t even been apart for a week! Weird.” Luke said, wondering. ”I absolutely know what you mean, Oh my Gosh. Did you get a haircut?” she asked Luke, feeling surprised.
”Yep, dad kept insisting. Do you like it?” Luke asked her, running his hand into his much shorter hair. She bit her l*p and nodded, wanting more than to touch it. Derrick sighed. “Here, I can tell you want to touch it.” He muttered and bent his head forward, Zoe ran her hand over his entire hair-loving how soft it felt.
”I love it,” she said when he stood straight. ”Good, I’m glad you like it.” Luke replied. ”So, where were we?” Luke asked and kissed her hard. She did a little hop to wrap her legs around his waist as Zoe felt him hauling her towards the sofa, once there he laid her down.
He wanted to pull away but she held him so they came down together. Luke let out a breathless chuckle, “you are so wild today baby, but not that I care.” Luke added, Zoe arched her eyebrow, ”Do you want me to do something else? I heard chess is a lot of fun.” she mouthed but he caught her off with another hard k**s which made Zoe m**n unknowingly.
All the things she was experiencing were crazy. Like how she had remembered her seven minutes with Alex, it was a burning experience.
Well, with Luke it was just a cool sensation that left her shivering for more. ”I should go away longer next time,” Luke murmured between her lips, which she immediately disagreed with. She never wanted Luke to leave again, having him here felt totally complete.
A flash of Alex’s face immediately flashes through her mind! She pushed it away instantly. Almost completely, her mind corrected itself. The urgency was now fading away but Zoe tried her best to hold onto it.
Damn Alex for not being here and still ruining the mood. Alex could sense that she wasn’t as into it as she was before and pulled away to look at her. ”You okay, Zoe?” Luke asked.
His lips had gotten a little puffy from making out and his haircut was a total mess now! Thanks to her for a good job, she ignored Luke’s question and raised herself a bit. ”I wanted to show you something,” she mumbled.
Luke looked curious, “Alright show me,” Luke said. She slowly unbuttoned the top. just a few buttons away making Luke raise an eyebrow challengingly, she prayed for her face not to get red from embarrassment. She could never be a stripper, that was for sure.
Once the button we’re fully opened. Her pink bra was exposed. “This looks nice and sexy on you,” Luke said looking from the bra to her face.
”Zoe, I love you but I seriously don’t think today is the actual day we should do this,” Luke said. It seemed to be full of his willpower to say this, for a moment she let his words sink into her head. Then, unexpectedly her eyes start to tear up.
Luke looked totally bewildered. ”Zoe! Zoe, please don’t cry, what did I do?” Luke asked curiously. ”Oh, Luke t..thank you, you h-have no idea how worried I was. I love you and didn’t know if I could do it today.” She said with a crushing relief.
Luke pulled her into his chest and hugged her tightly. ”Damn you really freaked me out. I thought you were angry with me,” he laughed with relief in his voice. Zoe wiped her eyes and started feeling kind of stupid.
Yes, she was stupid to have tried to ignite what she wasn’t ready for.
