Chapter 9 At the bar
Reid was drinking a beer and Luke sat next to him by the counter.
"What are you doing here?' asked Reid not looking at Luke
"I'm not entirely sure" whispered Luke with his head down.
"I was hoping you'd be here I guess" said Luke facing Reid
"Didn't you want to stay with Noah?" asked Reid
"He didn't want me to stay. I think he's confused about his feelings for me" said Luke sounding hurt
"I'm not" said Reid finally looking into Luke's sad eyes
Reid stroked Luke's cheek gently with his thump when he cupped his cheek. He watched Luke blink his eyes a few times and brought his lips gently onto Luke's. Luke deepened the kiss getting drunk off the way Reid's mouth tasted of beer. He didn't want to stop kissing Reid for fear that it wasn't real. That what they had shared together for months wasn't real.
Reid stopped kissing Luke and pushed him away. Reid paid for his drink and got up."I can't do this" said Reid
Luke got up from the bar.
"What do you mean you can't do this you just did it, you kissed me"
"Well I shouldn't have done it"
"Is that it then?" asked Luke confused and hurt
"Yeah it is" said Reid and with that he was gone
