Never Enough - By Ashley Johnson Page 0,84
and opened my phone. I almost sent a text, but honestly I wanted to hear his voice. We literally just left each other though. Was it too soon to call him? Maybe he was supposed to call me first? Hell, I don’t know how this works. I stared at my phone trying to decide what to do. The phone started ringing and Luke’s name popped up. What a coincidence! I let it ring twice before I answered so I didn’t sound creepy as if I were waiting around on his phone call.
“Hello?’
“Hey Macy, I hope I’m not bothering you.” I could just picture those green eyes and those tattoos. And the blonde hair…man!
“Oh you know I’m just waxing my chest hair.” I burst out laughing as soon I said it. I was suddenly in a good mood and absolutely loving it.
“You know I don’t remember seeing any last night.” He let out a light chuckle. “I just can’t stop thinking of you.”
Oh Mylanta. I’m glad he couldn’t see me through the phone, I was cheesing big time. “Well aren’t you in luck. I was getting ready to call you to see if you wanted to go with me to The Lounge tonight.”
There was silence for a moment before he answered me. I was trying to figure out why but I remembered giving him the long short story of Gary owning The Lounge. Please let him say yes. “What about this guy you told me about? I want to see you but I don’t want any trouble.”
“He won’t be there.” Before he could cut me off, I continued, “When I got home, my best friend informed me he was in my room freaking crying. I walked in and asked what he was doing and another long story short, he cried and tried to convince me to forgive him. He said he was leaving town. He’s a past issue, he won’t show up.”
“Are you sure? If you’re worried we can go somewhere else.”
“Luke, you don’t know me at all.” I chuckled, “He won’t dare show up. He said he was leaving town, then he left town. Hey you want to know something? That tattoo you did this morning?”
“That was him wasn’t it?”
“Yep. I told him he was an idiot. But enough about that will you come with me tonight?” I held my breath as he sat silent on the phone. Honesty is supposedly the best policy. If it proved to be wrong in this, then I would not lose any heartache over someone I just met the night before. I just liked him and hoped to see him again.
“Of course I’ll go with you. Can I pick you up?”
I wanted to scream yes you can, but I had composure. I was a classy lady. “Of course you can.” I stood there smiling like a giddy school girl. This was beyond pathetic. But I am young and having fun, who cares. I gave him directions on how to get to our apartment and he said he’d pick me up at 6pm. After we hung up I lay across my bed still smiling. I was determined to have a good night and with Trevor gone, that wasn’t going to be hard at all.
Chapter 19
Halley came walking into my room looking amazing as always. She had her new black shorts on with my pink sequin fitted shirt and some black pumps. I let out a whistle for her and she struck a pose. Luke would be here in thirty minutes and I was going crazy trying to decide what to wear. I had another jean skirt I could throw on. It had rhinestones on the back and I had maybe worn it one other time. Halley threw her black halter top at me and said, “Wear this with that skirt. Since I’m wearing your shirt, you can wear mine.”
I smiled and put the skirt on. Halley whistled at me and I turned around showing it off. My legs looked amazing in this one. Why didn’t I wear it more? I turned back around and put the halter top on. “Damn, I look hot!”
Halley rolled her eyes at me. “Don’t go getting a big head now geez! What time’s he getting here?”
I glanced at the clock. Shit he’d be here soon. My hair still needed to be fixed and I needed make up on. “Any minute now I’m sure. Crap I’m not ready!”
“Don’t worry you look fine, finish getting ready I’ll go wait by the door
