It had been a couple of crazy days. With Luke seeing the shrink, talking to the TV while his Mom and Grandmother talked about their new wedding/commitment ceremony business for Oakdale gay elite and well not so elite, Luke barely had time to think or do very much but to ponder where his life was heading.
He was sitting at his desk at work not really working at all, just staring at a blank screen. He knew in some ways what he needed to do but the last thing he really wanted to do was to make Noah hate him more than the last time when they fully broke things off.
No he had to get Noah back but how? He and reg where to be married in a matter of weeks. 'maybe if I pour my heart out to Noah he might just come around…..Yeah that should do the trick. I will get some flowers and some of his favourite choclate, get a hotel room at the Lakeview without my mom or anyone else knowing and locking us both in there. Yeah that should do the trick…..maybe??' he through to himself as if right on queue another point of dajvou came in and Maddie and his cousin Jade sat on his desk.
"Gee they seem to be hiring monkeys these days here at the tribune or whatever it is huh?" Maddie said in a sarcastic tone towards Jade and her best friend Luke who was somewhat amazed to see Maddie and Jade standing and well sitting right in front of her.
"Um yeah, he hasn't even started typing yet and it" jade said looking at her watch as she continued "oh nearly 1ish" she finished off.
"Gee must a record then for all these work that seems to be piling up here" Maddie said flickering through the various files piling up on Luke's desk.
"Ok that's enough you two. I don't need your bitchy sarcastic crap right now. I have more pressing and important issues right now so buzz off or go do what you do best, piss your boyfriends off or steal their credit cards and go on a slurging spree" Luke said trying to dismiss his so called best friends in his own manner.
"Ouch that hurts Luke very much. What can I say? I am just……just hurt" Jade said trying to fake tears with her over done make up brown eyes. "Ah shut up Jade, wouldn't be a first though would it" he said staring her right in the face.
"Gee what got up your arse then Mr it must be that time of the month again hmmm" Jade said as Maddie just watched on. "I am sick of my family and friends thinking I need help when what I really need is…….." uke said stopping himself not wishing for it to be known he was needing and wanting Noah again.
"What Luke, what do you really need that is soo god damn more important than your friends and family wanting you to be well and back to normal huh" Jade rushed out fligning her arms into the air with some frustration.
"Never mind ok…..just get lost you two. NOW!" Luke screamed out as half the office heard him and stopped what they where doing and where now solely looking towards Luke and his desk as Maddie looked at the rest of the office, then to Jade and then to Luke as she got herself off his desk and kneeled down towards him, placing her hand on his leg as she asked "What Luke you can tell us, your secret is safe with me to say the least. I am not sure about Jade but I am sure she can keep one little secret this once hmm" Maddie now looking over at Jade as she smiled.
Luke looked at both women as he shrugged his shoulder and looked down at the office carpet as if in a defeated mode "well I suppose its bound to come out sooner or later then. The one thing I need the most is Noah. Yes I said NOAH. N O A H. I need him as he makes me feel complete and well is the only one who can bring me back to life, back to the old Luke you guys keep talking about really" he said looking at both girls who had stunned expressions on their faces.
He continued to look at the pair of them for a couple of minutes. Their expressions never really changing as he said "see that's why…..that's why I never wanted you to find out. Just not yet anyways but you have to swear you wont say anything at all to anyone. Promise" Luke said looking at Both Jade and Maddie as they nodded yes in response.
"Ok I wont say anything but I do have one question I need to ask" Jade said as she looked over at Luke as he responded "yes shoot, ask away" looking at his cousin "How do you exactly propose to try and win Noah's heart back. If you haven't forgotten he is getting married to Reg, your former and well still in a way best friend in less than a months time now".
A small smile appeared on Luke's face as he thought about what Jade had just asked. He really didn't have a plan but he was going to become like McGyver and make it up as he went along cause that somehow normally worked in most cases.
"Well that my dear cousin I am not sure about, hence the blank screen. If I had come up with something do you honestly think this screen would remain black DUH I don't think so" he said in a sarcastic tone as Maddie smiled at the thought of Luke finally fighting for his man as Jade just said "why do I have this really sick feeling we are going to get roped in here some where, some how".
Back at home Luke layed in his bedroom thinking. He starred at nothing in particular trying to work out what to do. He decided to get up ad went in search of some old stuff he had packed away from his time he spent with Noah together as a couple.
He found the box and slowly opened it as memories came flooding back towards him. He noticed a picture laying on top off all the stuff he had packed away. It was a photo of him and Noah sitting outside his grandmother farm smiling and holding each other. He smiled and thought about all the good times he and Noah had shared. Be at it was all at a young age and now they had been apart both had grown up into maturity, more so Noah than him in most ways possible. But it was a time where he was happy, noah was happy, they where both happy.
A tear made its way down his cheek as he continued to look at the photo with all the memories flooding back.
He placed the phot down on his bedside table as he turned to look back into the box. Rummaging through he noticed a Video tape that seemed to say 'housewarming'. he smiled as he slowly got up off his bed and walked over to the VCR, placing the video into it and pressed play as he watched the screen with eyes wide open.
The screen lit up as the video started to play. He could see in the Video himself, standing at the front dorr of the very house they currently lived in with Noah standing right next to him arms in hard, smiling as he and Noah where talking to the small gathering of friends who where there for the official Snyder-Mayer freedom house warming.
"I know when I speak here that on behalf of Noah and myself we would like to thank all our special friends and wonderful family for coming out, well not quite out of the closet but I think there is still a few of you who will get there - Casey" Luke said as he seemed to look in the direction of the camera as people began to laugh.
Suddenly Casey's voice can be heard saying "Hey dude, I am as straight as a railway track thank you very much and Maddie is the girl for me" as the Camera Turns to Maddie who is now smiling up at the camera with the camera quickly turning back to Luke and Noah who are sharing a quick kiss.
Suddenly Lilly, Holden and Luke's younger sisters come into the screen and started to give a speech about both Luke and Noah and their new house of freedom as they both put it.
Unaware to Luke that Noah had come into the house and was now standing in the door frame of Luke's bedroom also watching the Video. A smile appeared on his face as he remembered that very sunny and warm July day.
He had remembered how happy he was. Finally getting his own place with the one true love of his life. How they would have their sense of new found freedom, be able to do anything and everything they wanted to do.
Noah moved into the room as he slowly laid down next to Luke. Luke looked at Noah as he smiled in return. Both boy just cuddled up together as Luke stroked Noah's hair with his fingers.
Suddenly both boys looked at each and could see the spark inside them both. The spark they both shared what seemed a million years ago just only over two years ago in reality.
Noah gently stroked Luke's chin which his back of his hands as Luke looked into his eyes closing them slowly as he kissed Noah softly on the lips. Looking back as he did to see what Noah's reaction would be, Noah leaned in and began to kiss Luke. Their kiss growing and become more intense with each passing moment.
Slowly taking off each others clothes and completely naked all that could be heard through out the house where the muffled moans of their love making, with what remained of the video still playing on the TV screen right in front of them both
