111 THESE STEPS WITH YOU

LUKE’S POV

So, Laura and I had been here for minutes, having a conversation that I couldn’t understand myself. It was actually nice being around her, she was fun to talk with, but I just didn’t want to get moved by her beauty.

A promise made to my late grandfather, I was not going to do anything stupid, leaving my wife and start following some other lady. Even though I didn’t love Ariel, I needed to be faithful.

Our discussion eventually came to an end, and I stood up, fully prepared to leave the bar.

“Hold on,” Laura halted me.

I turned around. “What now?”

“You didn’t give me your number,” she spoke lowly.

“Was I supposed to?” I asked, cause I was not ready to do that. Even if I did, her calls would be ignored.

“Just give me, will you?”

“I have to remind you that I have a wife.”

She rolled her eyes. “I never forgot that.”

“I think you did.” I shook my head after that. “Let’s not waste any more time here. There’s somewhere I need to be right now.”

“You’re the one who’s squandering the time here. If you can just let me have your contact, we’ll leave this place immediately.”

“Why’s my contact so important, huh?”

“Cause we’re friends. And as a friend, I need to have your contact.”

“Who said we’re friends?“/
