Rather Be On My Own

Chapter Twenty- PART 2( Luke's P.O.V)

Isabelle: Hey Luke. Heard you're back? Let's meet. I'm not a celebrity for god sake, why is she stalking me in this manner?

Isabelle: Why don't I come to your place? I laughed seeing this girl's confidence.

Isabelle: Why aren't you replying? I raised my eyebrows at her desperation.

I met Isabelle through Facebook a couple of months ago. We used to chat daily, the time when I wanted to get rid of my feelings for Allie. She's been a sweet girl, we would spent hours talking but she's not the only one I talked to for hours.

I got up and made myself comfortable in the soft couch. Again I was happy to be back.

Like I said I've tried everything in power to get over my feelings but she seems to stay my mind for a long time. Not forever because they say sometimes forever is a second.

I didn't reply to Isabelle or some other girls who have bombarded my inbox.

I'm not a playboy but she made me this way. I was correct when I thought that she was bad for me. Giving someone power over you isn't a good deal to sign even if you love and trust them more than life itself. I chose to do the same. I thought the job would be hard but what I didn't know was that it is next to impossible.

"Luke." My mom poked me causing me to sit upright. I looked at her and kept my phone aside as she hates it when I'm doing something while taking to her. All females are like that I guess. Not that it's bad or anything by the way.

"I want you to go to the mall and buy some clothes for yourself." She said handing me some cash.

I took the money and nodded. But soon I remembered that I didn't want to step out of my house, I didn't want wouldn't be a good explanation because I know that I'm not strong to face her just yet. What I see her in the street? I'm going to lose my confidence. Yes, I get coward in front of her.

"Mom, I can buy them later. Will's clothes fit me. See." I said ponting at myself.

She gave me a yah right-look. I even knew that the clothes were far from fitting me. The t-shirt was hanging loosely in my body and I was looking super creepy. My cheeks went crimson in embarrassment.

"Whatever, you need to get new clothes. We have a party at our place probably 3 days from now."

"Okay." I surrendered because I knew I had to listen to her if I didn't want to be murdered.

***

I was shopping around at the mall when I felt my stomach growl. I decided to go to any nearby cafe and get something to eat.

I might be a guy but I actually need time to find perfect clothes for me. I mean you need to see if a clothing will suit on you or not and I must look fabulous as ever. Even I take time to get ready not like girls but also not five minutes like ordinary guys because I ain't ordinary. I smiled at the thought.

Well, this is why girls love me.

I was glad that I didn't stumble upon her. It would seriously be difficult to look at her like nothing happened between us.

I saw cafe and was storming towards it when my phone rang it was none other than Isabelle. This girl likes me. I know that but what can I possibly do?

Instead of picking the phone, I typed a text that I'm busy and I'll get to her as soon as possible. I know it's rude but I don't want to give her any signals. I hate myself for doing this to girls who care about me but I can't even talk to girls without feeling that I'm betraying Allie. Though I know she might have moved on.

My eyes were fixed on my iPhone's screen when someone pushed me and my body crashed against someone.

Before I could process any thing a cold liquid was splashed on my face. I was getting angry. When I turned to see the culprit. My eyes landed on the person I was longing to see. It's like my heart was screaming 'there's my girl.' I wonder if she could hear my heartbeat which was so loud now.

Anger was raging in her eyes but it softened when she saw me. Seemed like we stood there of years but it was seconds.

Dear readers,

I'm sorry I updated after such a long time. It was writer's block which was stopping me from writing.

I hope you liked this chapter. I hope you are enjoying Luke's insight.

Tell me what did you like most about chapter 20?

My fellow writers would know how difficult it is to write story through different genders P.O.V. I hope you are not finding it boring.

Don't forget to vote and comment. They make me smile :-)

Love you all. Thanks for reading my story. We're getting close to 8k. I expect your support in the future as well.

Good day! :-)

Love,
ALIFA XOXO <3
