you. With a knife.” I grunt back at him. My heart nearly springs out of my chest as his lips relax into a super sexy boyish grin, instantly melting me.
He looks so beautiful right now. And all my earlier anger evaporates in a blink.
He extends one hand towards me. “Truce?” His head tilts to the side.
Reaching up to take his hand - mainly because I’ve been craving further contact with him - I tense all over. I feel that all too familiar warm tingling sensation spiralling inside me as our hands wrap around each other. My skin burns all over and I feel that electrical spark that Jane mentioned coursing through our hands. Yes, we sure can light up the Northern Hemisphere.
It takes me a moment to find my voice. “Truce.” I smile back at him.
His blue eyes twinkle.
He walks me to our next class which we share and Mr Jones has set up a movie for us today highlighting the different leadership styles. As soon as the lights are switched off, Luke leans in close to me, engulfing me with his minty freshness and whispers softly into my ear. “Are you going to attack me again in the dark?” His warm breath leaves goose bumps on my neck. He chuckles as I elbow him in the ribs.
Chapter Six
I feel much happier since receiving that dreadful letter from Ethan two days ago. He was certainly not the effort and glad I called things off before he left.
Dressed in my favourite Massive Attack T-shirt and skinny jeans, Brit and I make our way to the cafeteria for breakfast. As we enter the doorway, Brit shrieks as she is spun around by Travis.
“Let me go, you monkey!” She yells at him.
“Not until you kiss your monkey first.” Travis replies.
I laugh as I grab my breakfast tray and make my way to the table to find Luke already there in his usual seat opposite me.
“Hi,” he greets me cheerfully.
“Hi,” I greet back before taking my seat. He seems to be in a good mood.
“Guys, what are we doing tonight?” Travis beams down at us before pulling a chair out for Brit. Today it is only the four of us at our table. Brad and Jane skipped out early this morning to have breakfast at Starbucks, not too far from our college.
I shrug. Brit and I have only two classes on a Friday so our weekend starts off a lot earlier.
“Can we go to the new Mexican place?” Brit asks as she flicks her long blonde hair over her shoulder. She has been dying to eat there ever since the place opened two months ago. It is within walking distance from campus and has received excellent reviews.
“Sure, love. Luke, you are joining us, right? Travis shoots a strange look in Luke’s direction.
“Wild horses can’t keep me away.” He replies coolly just before taking a bite of his bacon and cheddar breakfast bagel.
“Em?” Travis calls out.
I nod in agreement. The butterflies start to do their dance of joy in my tummy while my subconscious does a fine rendition of Charlie Puth’s Marvin Gaye.
Travis smiles lovingly at Brit, tucking a lock of her hair behind her ear. “Okay, Speedy. Mexican it is.”
She grins at him.
The rest of the day passes by in a blur. After class, Brit and I rush home to throw ourselves on our beds, tossing the packet of biscuits back and forth to each other. Our usual Friday ritual.
“I see you and Luke are getting on better?” She winks at me.
“I just want world peace.” I say in my best pageant sounding voice.
She flings her soft pink pillow at me, laughing as she stands up. “Ha! Ha! So what are you going to wear tonight?” She makes her way to her closet and starts to pull out various items of clothing, making faces at her reflection in the long mirror inside her closet.

I take a small sip of my wine hoping the chilled liquid will help me relax. The boys had a gym session so Brit and I made the five minute walk over to the Mexican restaurant together. Giving me a few extra minutes to calm my bundle of nerves. Luke and Travis arrived about five minutes after we did and my
