Chapter 6:
Gillian woke up and looked over at Luka. He was still fast asleep. She sighed and rested her head on his chest and went back to sleep.
A while later, Luka woke up. He looked at Gillian and saw she was asleep he then looked at his clock. He wasn't due in work until later that morning. He got up, slowly and quietly so as not to wake Gillian up, and went into the kitchen.
He came back a few minutes later with breakfast. He sat down on the edge of the bed "Gillian?" He called out quietly. She didn't hear him. Luka tried again and this time she heard.
Gillian rolled over and faced Luka "Hey" She said tiredly.
"Morning. I brought you breakfast in bed." Luka told her and handed her the tray.
"Thank you. Looks lovely." She smiled and took the tray from him. She was just about to start eating when there was a knock at the door.
"Stay there, I'll get it." Luka told her and got up.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Luka opened the door and came face to face with Michael. Michael looked at him for a minute "So this is him huh?" He thought to himself.
"Hello?" Luka asked trying to get Michael's attention. Finally Michael heard him and spoke.
"Hi. I'm here to see Gillian, I'm Michael, her boyfriend" He didn't wait for a reply from Luka and barged in. Luka came running up behind him.
"Hey! You can't just barge in here!" Luka shouted. He then remembered Gillian was still asleep so he lowered his voice.
"Sorry, but I need to see." Michael didn't have the chance to finish as he saw Gillian coming out of the bedroom.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Gillian thought she heard Luka shouting. She got up and went to see what was going on.
As she came out of the room, she stopped short. She couldn't believe her eyes. Michael was standing right in front of her. She looked at Luka; he looked as confused as anything.
"Michael? What are you doing here? And how did you get this address? I didn't give it to you." Gillian asked. Michael sat down "I know. I got Steve to help me. See, when you phoned him you forgot that the phone number shows up on the bill. I took it to Steve and he traced it for me. Now I'm here to take you home. I booked a flight back tonight, and I'm not getting on without you. All you have to do is pack your bags." He glared at Luka. Luka was about to say something but Gillian interrupted.
"No. I love Luka and I'm not leaving him! If you think I'm going back to you, you've got another thing coming. Now, just leave!" She walked up to the door and opened it.
Michael took the hint "I'm not giving up Gillian! You're coming with me!"
Gillian just slammed the door in his face and walked up to Luka "I'm so sorry. I should have known he'd do something."
Luka pulled her into his embrace "Hey, it's ok. He's gone now. He won't bother us again." He kissed the top of her head.
"You don't understand. Michael's persistent. He won't give up." Gillian looked up at Luka, worry on her face.
Gillian woke up and looked over at Luka. He was still fast asleep. She sighed and rested her head on his chest and went back to sleep.
