The Love From Vengeance

86 NO, NOT NOW!

LUKE’S POV

“Bethany?” I blurted out, giving this woman a confused face. Her hands were all over my shoulders, as she massaged it with a huge smile on her face.

I couldn’t help but wonder why she would do this. But yes, my mind did tell me something. And this lady would only be fooling herself if she thought I was actually going to be her man.

No doubt about it all. She was beautiful, like really really beautiful. Sexy enough for any man to want to get his groove on her. The tattoos right on her chest, her sparkling nails, and her remarkable figure.

All were quite impressive, but I had nothing for her. Not lust, no passion, nothing at all. I didn’t even think I wanted to be friends. But I would have to, only for business‘ sake.

“What are you doing?” I slowly pulled back from her. When I turned around, I couldn’t see that man again. I wondered how he was able to disappear like that. He showed up late, but he left early. These set of humans.

“Luke, what’s the problem?” Bethany asked, innocently. She was trying to play dumb, but we needed to face reality. Just because I said I didn’t love Ariel, didn’t mean I was going to be a goddamn lover boy to random women.

“You’re shocked with what I did?” Bethany moved closer, and I shifted

backwards. She looked at me for a moment before she asked,” Are you trying to avoid me?”

“Well, don’t put it that way. It’s just that we need to compose ourselves with each other.”

“Compose ourselves? What do you mean by that?” Her brow was raised. “What are you thinking?”

What kind of question was she asking me? It was clear she had a knowledge of what I was talking about.

“Look Bethany, you’re pretty and..”

“I’m pretty?” Her eyes widened in glee, and she budged closer to me. “Did you just say I’m pretty?”
