Chapter 5: Hiding out

Reid was talking to Katie who was with her baby, Jacob, suddenly Luke noticed them and was watching how they interact with one another. He didn't mean to stare but when Reid picked up Jacob and started talking to him he couldn't help it, He thought that Reid was very good with Jacob. For someone with a stand offish personality he was great with Jacob and he looked so handsome. Luke walked to the other side of Reid and tried to hide behind a book when he heard "Mr. Snyder you've been eaves dropping long enough to figure out that this is a private conversation" Reid slowly turned around and looked at Luke.

"Go away" said Reid

They just stood there as if time had frozen over.

Katie kissed Reid on the cheek and said her good byes to both young men.

"I wasn't trying to eaves drop, I just never saw you be nice like that before" said Luke

"See Mr. Snyder I can be human when I feel like it."

Reid walked over to Luke.

"I never said you weren't. You're really good with Jacob, makes you even more handsome than you already are" said Luke.

"Was that a compliment?" asked Reid

"I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it" said Luke before smiling and looking up at Reid

"So you think I'm handsome?" asked Reid

"I think the whole package is pretty attractive except they way you treat people" said Luke looking at Reid up and down.

"Are you coming on to me?"

"Maybe, maybe not" said Luke smiling

"It's either a yes or no question not both"

"Would you like it if I said yes?"

"I'm not really sure, no one has flirted with me in some time" said Reid

"I wonder why, but you don't scare me, never have you intrigue me and the more I find out the more I want to find out more about you"

"Is that so, and what things would you like to find out?" asked Reid moving a little closer to Luke to look into his brown eyes"

"Well you wouldn't like it if I told you" said Luke

"Try me"

"I wonder if your lips are as soft as they look"

"Are you serious?" asked Reid in shock

"Yes and that goes for the coming on to you question but I think you already knew that, that was a yes"

"So you want to kiss me?" asked Reid moving even closer to Luke almost pressing his body against Luke's who was leaning against a store wall.

Luke couldn't breath, he had never been this close to Reid and he couldn't stand being so close to him but yet so far and not reaching out to touch him.

"What's wrong?" asked Reid

"You…. um…you…." said Luke speechless

"I what?"

"You're making me nervous" said Luke

"I'm making you nervous, why?"

"Why, why do you even have to ask. You're so close to me I can smell the mint from your tooth paste and all I've ever wanted to do since the second I laid my eyes on you was to kiss you"

Reid moved the rest of the way to Luke pressing his body flat against the wall. Reid's right hand was against the wall.

Reid put a finger under Luke's Chin and picked up Luke's face to look into his eyes and kiss Luke deeply. As soon as his lips touched Luke's, Luke moaned a soft moan. Luke kissed him back. Both slipped their tongues in each other's mouth and twirling them around each other's tongues. Reid stopped kissing Luke.

"How was that?" asked Reid

"Wow" was the only thing that Luke could say

"I take it you liked it"

Luke just nodded.

"Well you're not so bad yourself" said Reid with a wink.

Luke blushed.

"You're so cute when you do that"

"Do what?"

"When you blush"

Luke just smiled.

"Well I better be going"

"Yeah me too"

"See you around…. Luke" with that said Reid was gone.
