Brianna

"Shesh, I thought you forgot about me" she said "What? No, of course not. You're my best friend, never would I ever" I said on the other line.
"You're cranky aren't you?"
"You know me so well Lissa," I answered smiling slightly. "Back to the distancing..." I heard her say. "With this Alejandro thing is kinda been.... You know..." I trailed off.
"Yeah, I know. Look I wanna ask you if you remember this particular person." Melissa said on the other line and I felt like I knew where this was going. Every time she said the words, 'this particular person's I knew she'd be referring to someone in college or anyone of our past.
"Better not be anybody from uni-" I paused when I felt my chest knock into something or someone. Forget about the 'ow' cause of the pain that I was feeling but I focused on my phone, which was on the floor. "What the heck?" I retorted. I was already grumpy.
And for someone to bump into me made matters worse.
"Dude, can you watch where you're going next time?" I stated, reaching down for my phone as I felt a hand on top of mine. I moved my hand immediately, I still hadn't made eye contact with the person because I really didn't care.
"I can do it myself you know?" I said grabbing my phone and stood right back up. "Sorry not sorry," he said.
I decided to ignore him and act like I didn't hear what he said. I began to walk off but I felt a hand grip my wrist, I turned around to slap him in his face.
His head swung to the side and I watched his shocked expression. My five fingers print was visible on his cheek.
"I dare you to touch me again," I glared, my eyes not leaving his.
He instantly let go of me making me realize what I had just done...
I didn't know him, but I slapped him because I was cranky and he caused me to drop my phone.
This is not Joe, Brianna
Right.
Finally observing him, he didn't look like another Joe that's for sure. But, buuuut, there's always a but, he was wearing a leather jacket, a black V neck t- shirt with blue jeans. Bad boy kind of style. 'hair as black as ebony', as his hazel brown eyes bored into mine.
"Brianna, right?" He uttered. And I actually was quite surprised that he had the guts to speak to me after what I just did. And another thing confused me, I didn't know him, so how'd he know me?
"Do I know you?" I asked, confused.
"Well I don't quite know if you remember, but I'm Luke.."
"Luke?" I said raising an eyebrows
"Do you have amnesia?"
Huh?
What kind of question was that?
"Is that supposed to be a joke or what?" I folded my arms, getting frustrated.
"Does Luke ring a bell? From university? Luke Payne?" He answered but ignoring what I had asked before.
"Luke...? Luke Payne you say?" I asked he nodded in response.
"Doesn't ring a bell" I said shrugging.
"Fine then. Baby. " he smoothly said, as he chewed the 2,5cm stick in his mouth.
My brows knitted as I stared at the stronger in front of me, who claimed to know me.
"Think harder, baby,"
Baby,
Baby,
Baby,
Baby,
Baby,
Why did this sound like a Justin Bieber song?
It echoed in my head, and to be honest, it was annoying.
Wait..
Baby?
Baby..
Baby, baby?
Luke Payne. Of course, from university how fun..
"Oh, you." I snarled.
"It's me sweetie," he smirked.
"Still the old arrogant, cocky ass, I see." I said with my arms folded. "Some people simply can't change for the better," I muttered.
"People change, sweetie"
"Then you're not human."
"Baby, you love me. Don't you remember when you used to crush on me?"
"That was long ago." I defended "It was my first year, the hell were you expecting?"
He shrugged in response and I rolled my eyes.
"No time for explanations, we bumped into each other for a reason sweetie. Destiny?"
"More like hell,"
"Okay, okay, how about we start over? I'm Luke Payne, its nice to meet you" he said holding his hand out for me to shake
I just stared at him blankly, being hesitant about shaking his hand or not, but then I gave in. It wouldn't be that bad.
"Brianna" I said shaking it, immediately removing it, before he could plant a kiss on it.
"This is going to be the best time you've had in a while"
"I've been doing just fine,"
It's not only Joe I'm trapped with, but Luke as well. Could this get any worse?
