Part Three

The bell had just rung, five minutes to get across the school before the second bell rung. Luke though as he blindly walked down the hall. The day before, after he, Grace and Adam had gotten back to his house, Joan, Adam and Grace had left again. He hadn't seen Grace since.

Not that he really was looking for her. But talking to her yesterday hadn't worked, so he still wanted to talk to her. but she didn't obviously. Suddenly he felt someone grab him by the back of his shirt and yank him backwards. He heard a door slam shut, and then let his eyes adjust to the sudden darkness.

The a thin stripe of light coming in through a crack between the door and the wall he saw blonde hair. Then he realized it was Grace, standing in front of him. "Look, I'm not promising you anything."

"I wasn't going to ask you to." Luke told her, and then felt her hands on his face, pulling him closer, and kissing him ardently. He groaned softly and pulled her closer, his arms wrapped around her waist.

Grace let her hands slide from his face, to his neck, fingers of one hand played with the short hair at the nape of his neck, while the other just rested against his skin.

Joan grabbed onto Adam's and they both laughed quietly as the darted past people, hurrying towards the Janitors closet before the bell rang. Adam opened the door and backed Joan into the room as he kissed her softly.

"Do you mind?!" Grace snapped pulling back slightly from Luke when someone ran into small room with them.

"Hey!" Joan stomped her foot. "You guys!" Adam stood beside Joan; their fingers laced together, his other hand on her hip.

"Come on, there's someplace else I'm sure."

"Someplace else to what might that be Mr. Rove?" Price stood behind them, out side of the closet. "All of you, out now. Get to class. This will not happen again. I don't want to catch you in here again."

One by one they all left the closet. Adam and Joan holding hands, then Grace behind them, and Luke behind her. The bell rang and three of the four hurried to class, Grace slowed down, not in a hurry to be on time.

Twenty minutes later Grace strolled into class. Luke watched her as she walked down the isle between the tables and plopped down in her seat. "Ms. Polk. You were late, yet again." Grace simply shrugged.

"Grace? What is going on with you and my brother?" Joan asked in a hushed voice, leaning towards her friend.

"Nothing."

"Nothing? Making out in the Janitor's closet is nothing?"

"Shut up Girardi. I don't want to talk about it." Grace snapped.

Luke glanced over his shoulder and looked at Grace, after her sudden outburst, and she was staring at her notebook intently.

That night Luke sat in his room, at his desk, blankly staring at his computer. His mind was stuck on Grace. Everything was about Grace. He couldn't think of a single chemical equation without it inevitably leading back to Grace.

"Hey Luke?" Joan knocked softly on his door and peeked inside.

"Yeah?"

"Can I talk to you."

"Sure." Joan walked inside and sat on the edge of his bed and looked at him.

"I'm just wondering. what's going on with you and Grace?"

"I have no idea. I wish I did, but she said she wasn't promising my anything, but she kissed me. I don't understand girls. That's why I like science! It's easy to figure out."

"Right." Joan nodded slightly. Of course, it was always science with him. "Give her some time? Maybe she needs to figure stuff out?"

"Yeah."

"In the mean time. the Janitor's closet is mine and Adam's during lunch." Joan smiled at her brother before getting up and walking out of his room.

Grace stood outside the back door of the Girardi's house, waiting for someone to answer, silently hoping it was Joan. The door opened a second later.

"Hey Grace." Kevin said pulling open the door, then wheeling himself backwards to let her inside. "Joan is-"

"Is Luke here?"

"In his room." Grace nodded and started through the kitchen. "Hey Grace?" She stopped and looked at him. "Go easy on him." Kevin smirked slightly and Grace shook her head and rolled her eyes before continuing on her way through the kitchen, the living room and up the stairs to Luke's room.

She didn't bother knocking, just burst into his room. Luke jumped from his chair, then quickly clicked on the 'X' in the upper corner of his computer screen, before turning to look at her. "What are you doing here?"

"What are _you_ doing looking at naked women on the internet?"

"I wasn't!"

"Uh. that's what it looked like to me."

"I wasn't looking at them, I was. doing research." Luke shifted slightly. "What are you doing here?"

Grace just looked at him, then walked around him and looked at his computer. She clicked on the internet explorer button and glanced over her shoulder at him.

"Grace. Don't-"

"What? I'm just curious about what you're researching." She clicked on the arrow on the address bar, and then smirked slightly, she clicked on the first link that was there and hit 'Go.' Seconds later the page had loaded. "How to please your woman in bed?" Grace raised an eyebrow, and watched the blush creep up Luke's face.

Grace moved closer to him. "So show me what you learned."

"Wha-at?" Luke stuttered.

"All that research. you should try it out." Luke continued to stare at her for a second longer before cupping her face and kissing her softly. He backed her up towards the bed and laid her back, then stretched out beside her, never breaking the kiss.

Okay, This one isn't going to lead into graphic sex. So anyone that doesn't want that, no worries. It's just gonna skip.
