The Love From Vengeance

248: STUCK IN TRAFFIC

ARIEL’S POV

I couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing Luke’s words: “Okay, okay. There was no way at boy was going to do anything.”

Luke widened his eyes, staring at me. “Is that what you think?”

“No, I know that.”

“It seems like you didn’t see how he clenched those fists. He was getting ready to deliver a Superman punch, like Roman Reigns or something.”

“Please don’t start now. Let’s just go home.”

“My home, you mean?” He smirked at me.

What the hell was he feeling like?

Anyway, I replied, “Yes, you’re home.”

I held Janice’s hand, and the three of us left the candy store after that. We entered the car, and I laughed a little, recalling what Like said while we were still at the candy store. It was really fucked up, WWE stuff, seriously? Although I never liked that, I could not say the same about that psycho.

Luke glanced at me. “Why are you laughing?‘

“Oh, it’s nothing,” I answered, shaking my head. “I was just thinking about something.”

“What were you thinking about?”

“Why are you so curious, huh?”

“No big deal. I just love seeing you smile like that.

“Lovely words. For a moment, I thought you were going to start talking sh*t.”

“Why would you think like that?”
