LUKE POV
I can not believe that the woman of my dreams and quite possibly the woman of my heart just walked into the kitchen where I am sitting with someone that I barely know. I am not sure what to make of this. All I know is that her beauty completely consumes me.
I remember the last time I had an encounter with her and what my heart did when I saw her. I can not help choking on my coffee when I see her because I can not believe that I walked into the house where she possibly lives. Suddenly, I have no idea how to act or what you say.
I watch her as she smiles shyly while looking at the ground. I am waiting to hear what she has to say to Brandon's remark. Then the angel before my eyes starts to talk.
"I just went to the restroom"
Then her eyes lock with mine and she walks towards me.
"Hi, I am Mikayla and you are?"
Oh god, her voice is like sweet music to my ears. Now, I finally know what her name is and what a beautiful name. It is only fitting for an exquisite creature like herself to have a name like that. I swallow deeply as I answer her.
"Please to meet you, Mikayla, my name is Luke"
I can feel Brandon and his dad's eyes staring at the two of us but it is as if I do not care what they think at this very moment. All I am seeing right now is the beauty that stands before me. We greet with the hand and as her soft hand touches my rugged hand, I swear I felt a spark shooting through my being straight to my desire for her.
MIKAYLA POV
I watch him as he smiles at me and I can not help but smelt in his presence. But when his hand touches mine I almost felt my knees giving in. I hold onto the counter so that I don't make an embarrassment of myself and then take a seat next to him.
"He is the grandson of old man Walters. The one we talked about yesterday. Do you remember?"
My brother asked me this question but what he does not know is that I have seen his grandson last night, as well. I remember him very well and I also remember that he ran out on our encounter. I do not want my brother and dad to know that I have some kind of feelings for this man sitting in our kitchen.
I do not know if I should ask Luke about why he ran out on our encounter now or should I wait till we are alone?
"Yes, I remember you spoke about him yesterday morning. If I may ask what brings you to our humble home?"
We share a smile between the two of us because we are both acting as if we do not know each other. I must say that I am enjoying this little game we are playing. I enjoy the smiles that he gives me and the way he looks at me but that is not all, I love how it almost feels as if it is just us in a world of our own.
Then I watch as his cheeks grow a bright red color. There is nothing more beautiful than a blush on a man's face.
"I...uh..."
And then my dearest brother interrupts.
"He just wanted to come over and thank me for the groceries that I bring to his grandpa every week. So I invited him in for coffee"
Damn you, Brandon. I wanted to know what makes Luke blush. Now that Brandon answered for him and I might never know what all of this was about.
LUKE POV
As I listen to what she asks me I am ready to give her an answer but before I could give her the answer I feel my heart starting to race again. I can not believe what effect this woman has on my heart and I want so desperately to talk more to this woman.
But this time it is not just my heart that is racing, it is also my breath that is increasing. I struggle to get out a sentence and luckily, Brandon stepped in for me. I need to get out of here as soon as possible and go and drink one of my damned pills.
Maybe if I could just stay for a little while longer my heart will return to normal. But the problem is my breathing that I cannot control. Maybe if I do not speak a lot. Damn, I don't know what to do but I know I want to be here with her.
"If you knew my brother, you would know that no thanks are needed. He has always been the one that likes to help out those in need"
I want to answer her and tell her that I really do want to thank him. There are not many people that will do this for a stranger. But as I open my mouth I can hear my breathing making it impossible to talk.
I feel as lightheadedness also starts to creep in and I know I better get out of here as quickly as possible. If only my heart could act normal around this unbelievably incredible women. Not only is she something I have never seen but her brother seems to be a diamond in the rough.
I can not believe that I am doing this once again but I can not afford her seeing me in my weakened state.
MIKAYLA POV
I watch as the smile on his face starts to fade away and I see his chest moving irregularly. I should really learn to switch off my doctor's side when I am with normal people. But I can not help the doctor in me seeing symptoms of something that could be wrong.
"Are you feeling okay?"
LUKE POV
Fuck!
She knows that something is wrong with me and I do not want her to know this now. I want her to get to know me for me and not the way how everybody else got to know me. I want this one to be different.
I need to get out of here and I need to get out of here right now.
