Luka sat there in the quiet of his apartment. He couldn't believe Gillian had a boyfriend. She had never mentioned him before. Why not? "Was she afraid of what I would think? I guess she was". Luka thought sadly to himself.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The Day Before:
Luka was walking down the stairs after taking a shower. He wasn't back at work yet, but he was still looking forward to a long weekend in with Gillian, before his first shift back on Monday. Just as he thought of her, Gillian walked into the apartment carrying a couple of bags. He rushed over to her and took them from her. Gillian smiled, then took off her coat and headed to the sofa.
"I see you had a good day then" Luka joked.
Gillian was off in her own little world and didn't hear him at first, suddenly she realised Luka had said something and turned to face him.
"Huh? Sorry Luka, did you say something?"
Luka came and sat next to her, "I just said it looked like you had a good day." He paused for a minute then carried on ".Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired. Too much shopping I guess". She laughed.
Luka didn't seem convinced, but he decided not to keep bugging her. If Gillian had a problem, she'd tell him. At least he hoped she would.
"So, what do you want to do tonight?" Luka asked.
"Can we just stay in? I could cook us something." Gillian suggest with a smile.
"Sounds like a plan to me" Luka replied.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Luka and Gillian had finished dinner and were in the kitchen clearing up. Luka could tell there was something bothering her, he could see it in her face during dinner. He just wished she'd tell him. He decided to try again. He put down the plate he was cleaning and turned to face her.
"Gillian?" Luka began Gillian looked up from what she was doing. "What is it?" She asked.
Luka was silent for a moment, thinking of the best way to start. Finally he began.
"Gillian, I know there's something wrong. I can see it in your face. Please tell me. I can help."
She sighed. She knew she had to tell him, but finding the best time, and way, was hard. She put down the glass she was drying.
"Ok. I think you're going to need to sit down for this though."
Luka was stunned at first, he hadn't expected Gillian to give in. He sat down at the table and waited for Gillian to start.
Gillian begun "This isn't easy and I wanted to tell you when we first met, but things just got in the way and I couldn't say anything."
Luka looked at her, he was confused "What is it?"
She sat down on the chair next to him and held his hands. "Luka, I..I have a boyfriend back home in Montreal." She sighed. It was good to finally get that out in the open. She looked at Luka waiting for his reply.
Luka slowly got up "Boyfriend?!" He couldn't believe it. "Why didn't you tell me before? Why didn't you tell me when we first met?!" Luka was clearly getting angry.
"Luka, I did want to tell you but...I couldn't. I found myself falling for you and it got too hard." Gillian paused for a minute, and then continued, "There's something else I need to tell you." She looked down. This was what she was dreading the most.
"What, that you're engaged?" Luka said sarcastically.
"No. But I got a call from him today on my cell phone and he..umm, he wants me home. I, I uh, booked a flight. I leave tomorrow morning." She cringed. She knew Luka was about to get angry. But what he did shocked her.
Luka just looked at her and went upstairs. Gillian got up and followed him. She found him sitting on his bed staring into space.
She walked over and sat down next to him "I'm so sorry Luka. I really did want to tell you, but like I said, things got in the way."
He looked at her, sadness showing in his eyes "Don't. I don't want to argue with you, you're only here a few more hours." Luka stopped short.
Gillian sighed and got up to start packing. Luka sat there for a while, then eventually got up and helped her.
"Thanks" Gillian smiled slightly. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Present Day:
It had only been an hour since Gillian had gone, but Luka was missing her already.
