The Love From Vengeance

167 NIRVANA

ARIEL’S POV

I snuggled closer to Luke, my head resting on his chest. The rhythmic sound of his heartbeat lulled me into a state of tranquility. I traced circles on his bare chest with my fingers, feeling the warmth of his skin under my touch. The lovely and exhausting moment was still in my head, and indeed, it was times like these that made all the chaos and stress of life disappear. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, savoring and soaking up every bit of this blissful moment.

“So, how was work today?” Luke asked, caressing my hair.

“Just normal. Nothing remarkable. What about you? Your day’s been going great, right?”

Luke chuckled. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Why not?” I glanced at him.

“It was really complicated, and somehow unbelievable.”

“Somehow unbelievable? What do you mean by that?”

Luke looked at me for a few seconds. “Did you join the police force?”

“No. Why are you asking?”

“Because you’re trying to act like a detective right now.”

“You know you’ve always been crazy.” He taunted, his lips curving into a smirk.

“To the kitchen? Why exactly?” Luke raised an eyebrow.

“That’s a dumb question, you know.”

“No, it’s not.”

“Yes, it is!” I blurted. “I mean, what do people do in the kitchen?”

“They have sex,” Luke replied with a grin.

“Oh my goodness,” I said inaudibly, hitting my face softly.

“What?”
