The Love From Vengeance

113 CREEPY CONVOS

ARIEL’S POV

This was a moment of pure silence between the two of us, even though the song played with other people dancing to it. Quite remarkable, galvanizing, relishing it ail in my head. Luke was still staring at me, and just when our lips became extremely close, he stirred his face backwards, standing upright the next second. The same thing happened to me.

The music came to an end, and he eventually took his hands off me, averting his gaze, and I had to do the same. But I still glimpsed at him, and although he wasn’t looking, I knew he carried out the same action. You could say it was a mutual feeling at the moment.

“Thanks for coming,” I told him softly.

He finally glanced at me, and a smile popped up on his countenance. “Don’t thank me. I came here for the fun.”

I couldn’t help but laugh softly. “And you’re having fun, right?”

“Well, not yet,” he answered, looking around. “This place is actually beautiful. So your friend is going to be dwelling in New Haven from now on, is that not so?”

“Yes, he sure is. It’s a great thing, isn’t it?” I smiled, also looking around.

“Of course it is,” Luke responded, his hands fixed on his waist. “And I guess his company is going to be a competition in this business stuff.”

I looked at him, knowing where this talk was heading. “Okay, let’s not go there.”

He chuckled, understanding my words. “I’m just saying the truth, though. But I’ll do as you say.”

“I appreciate that.” I smiled at him.

His phone began to ring, so he took it out of his pocket. “I need to answer this call.

I nodded. “It’s okay. You don’t have to ask me for permission.”

“I wasn’t asking you for permission,” he uttered annoyingly, and he answered the call. “Yes, Mr. Rolence.” He walked away, talking on the phone. I did nothing but look at him as he became a little bit far from me.
