Never Enough - By Ashley Johnson Page 0,80

mine in his. He brought it to his lips just like Trevor did the first time we hung out. This was almost a case of déjà vu. He grabbed a loaf of bread and opened the refrigerator and pulled out ham, turkey, cheese and anything else you could imagine placing on a sandwich. My eyes grew wide and he began laughing.

“Make whatever you want. Then whenever you’re ready you can take me to my car.” He kissed my forehead and I began fixing a sandwich. That’s right. We rode in my car last night back here.

I was so full when I finished eating. I just sat there. I grabbed my phone and turned it on while Luke finished eating. Halley had called several times and Trevor called about twice as many times as she did and then there was a picture that just went through of the tattoo Luke just gave him. The skin around the tattoo was still red and puffy from it being so fresh. He was so stupid. The phone rang, it was Trevor. I hit ignore and stepped into Luke’s room to call Halley.

“Macy where are you?” Mother hen was in the house. I rolled my eyes and took a breath.

“I’m perfectly fine Hales. I’ll be home later today.”

“Trevor said you were all over some guy at Gills, did you go home with him? I’m not preaching at you I swear. I just want to make sure you are really ok.”

“Yes, I did and yes I am fine. Did Trevor tell you he got a fucking tattoo of the charm bracelet? Luke is a tattoo artist and he went this morning to tattoo a charm bracelet on a guy’s arm and Trevor sent me the pic.”

There was silence then Halley began laughing. Great, she had jokes. “Ohmigod you mean to tell me that the guy you took home, gave your ex a tattoo? Do they know each other?”

“Actually smart ass he took me home, I didn’t take anyone home! Obviously they saw each other at the bar but Luke said he couldn’t place him. Look I’m going to bring him to his car in a few. I didn’t want to leave my car for Gary to see then I’ll be home.”

“Mace, you are a dirty girl.” She paused and then added, “ I’m so proud.” I rolled my eyes and hung up the phone. I opened Trevor’s text and looked at the tattoo. Tears stung my eyes. I know how bad he was hurting but I wasn’t ready to forgive him yet. I don’t think I would ever be ready to forgive him.

I replied to the text: ‘You really need to stop.’ I turned my phone back off and went back into the kitchen.

Luke was cleaning the mess. He cleaned too? I stood there amused with my hands on my hip watching him. I shoved Trevor’s stupidity back. I didn’t want to think about him today or any other day in my life. He turned around and grinned. “What? Did I do something?”

I flashed a big grin in his direction. “I never knew how amazingly hot it was to watch a man clean. Please tell me you have a feather duster! I’d love to see what you can do with that.” He threw the dish towel down and sauntered over to me.

He placed his arms on my waist and chuckled as he leaned in to kiss me. “Please tell me I can see you again after today.”

I kissed him back wrapping my arms around his neck pulling him closer. Forget the one night stand, I don’t think I could do it especially if he wanted to see me again. “Of course you can.”

I may have been using him for the wrong reasons last night but something about him today made me feel like I was going to be ok. He was too amazingly sweet and to think I let him bring me home from the bar. Thank god he wasn’t a crazy guy. I stared into those gorgeous green eyes and pulled him in for another kiss.

Chapter 18

I drove Luke down to his car. He was a breath of fresh air for me. Part of me was glad I accepted his offer to go home with him. He was amazing. For a second I’d almost forgotten this was all just a release for me. I could definitely get lost in Luke. No doubt about that. From his eyes, to those arms of his and ohmigod the
