240: TO THE SPA

ARIEL’S POV

“My phone is ringing,” I told Luke who still had a hold of me, while my phone continued to vibrate in the car.

“I’m not letting go of you.” He smirked.

“Don’t act stupid now.”

“You don’t have to be so rude, you know.”

“Are you going to let go of me or not?” I wore a serious face.

Luke chuckled and took his eyes im the direction of my phone, to where the sound was coming from. He took it from my purse, looking at the screen.

“Who’s calling?” I asked in curiosity.

“Why should I tell you?”

“Because that’s my phone, duhh.”

“So what? I have a hold of it now.”

“Are you going to quit this nonsense?”

“Maybe if you were a little bit nice, I’ll hand it over.”

“Maybe if you could act a little bit mature, I’ll be nice.” I retorted, giving him at fake smile.

“You know the reason why. You brought shit upon yourself.”
