"Remember we always talk about me getting that big break well, this might be it and I wouldn't be anywhere without you" Noah gave his hand a squeezed and Luke smile bashful at him.
"Noah you've always been great, it had nothing to do with me"
"I know we're not where we want to be right now, but it can better"
"You've always been there for me Luke, It means a lot to me"
"Maybe we should go to L.A together"
"I can't just move to L.A with you I have my work and family here"
"Why not? You have your own life they know that"
"Yes, Noah but it's here, I can't just get up and go to L.A"
"Is that the only reason?" Noah said conspicuously.
"What's that suppose to me?" Luke said pulling away from him and folded his arms.
"Reid being in Oakdale-" Even though Reid wasn't here he couldn't help how he felt his chest tighten.
"This has nothing to do with Reid!" Luke replied. It didn't had to do with the doctor even though. "I'm just saying you can't expect me to make a decision like this after you just found out you're going to L.A"
"Fine, I'm sorry" He said and clasped his hands with his "- but just think about it, it could be just for a short while, take a vacation and come with me…" Noah pleaded.
"Maybe I could…"
Noah embraced him tightly. Luke gazed with unsure eyes. He was happy that Noah had gotten his opportunity but he couldn't help but feel a sense of uncertainty. Maybe He could leave with Noah. He had questions that wanted to be answered and things he wanted to say, all of which had to do with a certain doctor.
It was colder today than any other day Luke thought. Pulling up he got his files and made his way into Memorial. It was just another meeting, but jittery feelings plague him. He had meetings before even had meetings with Reid but it wasn't like before. It was ridiculous how he was acting. Lying to Noah since ha hadn't mentioned the incident on the balcony since but then it wouldn't be a lie if it meant nothing Luke thought to him self. Reid didn't force him to kiss him, he felt so much emotions swimming around in him. He shook his head to clear his mind.
Luke stops at the doors, exhaling to calm his nerves before he entered the room. It was meeting with the doctors with the hospital advisory and some of the board members. Going to his seat he realizes he was sitting across from the cynical doctor, but kept his face calm and focus.
They had covered issues of who facilitates where since Chris was still recovering from his surgery. They were short of doctors since Dr. Channing had to leave on short notice the staff had been covering longer shifts.
Even though they weren't looking at each other he could felt the tension between the both of them. One by one the members began to leave the room. Reid had just gotten up and he couldn't help but he had to find away to talk to him. To clear things out, to make him know it was a mistake or that's what he told himself.
"Dr. Oliver" Luke called watching the last of the staff leaving. Reid stop in his tracks and turned to face him. The door was closed. They were alone now, stood only a few feet away.
"What is it that you want Mr.-"
"Reid" Luke called his name somewhat of a plea Reid rest a hand on one of the chairs as if to ease his weight and let out a tired sigh. "Luke I don't have time for this" He said pinching the bridge of his nose. Seeing him was not helping Reid thought to himself. The way his week was turning out was surely putting in a bad-tempered mood.
"I just wanted …. About the other day…" a habit of nerves, Luke scratched back of his head, even at this age he still acts like such a kid Luke thought to himself.
"I shouldn't have kissed you …"
"There's nothing to talk about, Luke…" Reid said in somewhat cynical tone with a smirk on his face and Luke understood why as he recall the words. "A kiss is…just a kiss"
The blonde smiled and chuckled with nostalgic. Same words he spoke to him three years ago. Remembering their first kiss, he was too scared to make the first move and this arrogant doctor claim his lips without a second thought had him tingling, asking himself new questions and possibilities. Lost his trail of thought, what did he want to say?
"Reid and what I said…"
"It's simply Luke, we just forget it ever happened" was that a singe of bitterness. He was too old to play these games. He could have told him up his boyfriend was up to, he may have even gotten what he wanted. He was too tired to care.
"Just forget it?" he responded irked by his reply, Luke didn't even realize his own reaction.
"Yes, Luke" Reid said as a matter of fact "we did it before, there is no reason we can't do it again"
"Did we? Or you meant you? It doesn't seem like it"
"Well you surely had no problem"
Luke let out a condescending laughter "Oh really? But it's like you said right? I was so easy to forget"
"Either you can admit it to yourself Luke or be delusional but I'm not here to rub your back and tell you the world is filled with rainbows and to tell you what you want or what you think you want"
"Do you even know what that is?" Before Luke could respond Reid pager went off.
"It's emergency, I don't have time to this I have to go"
"What does it matter now, if it's nothing" Reid said cold and head out the door.
Noah entered the small café shop. Ordering a latte and found a seat and began to reading when He heard a familiar voice called his name. "Noah?"
"Hey, how are you doing, how's Chris?"
"We're good, he's doing a lot better and I'm great I haven't had any of that morning sickness you get when you're pregnant" She smiled hearing herself gloating.
"That's good to hear"
"So what's new with you?"
"I got sponsor for my movie"
"Oh my God, Noah that's so fantastic!" She said with a hand on her chest. "When do you start filming?"
"Not sure, they want me to fly there as soon as possible so we can go over the paper work"
"Oh, when do you leave?"
"End of the week"
"Wow isn't that abit… Sudden?"
"Yea but with Luke there, it's going to be great" He smiled at the thought.
"Oh, you and Luke? She said when her phone rang.
"Crap I got to go, Kim must be wondering where I went" Grabbing the two cups of coffee from the counter. "Good luck uh, you and Luke" She said scurring off, thinking about what she just heard.
The night sky was covered with cotton clouds and the night breeze swayed the trees and wisp through the leaves that had it scurry through the town streets. Luke drove through the town night lit streets on his was back from the docks. He wasn't thinking about was Noah and L.A but Reid. Luke wanted to rush after him after their discussion earlier but he was already the E.R and he had business to take care of at the docks and Lakeview.
He had questions. Built up of frustrated, hurtful words he wanted to say. It irked him every time he thought of the doctor's face, how cold and calm he looked. Arrogant bastard, Luke thought. Did he care at all? Why now? Why didn't he just stay in stupid Dallas? Chris called him for personal reasons and that's why he came back to this little town that was off his highly. To think it took him so long to try to forget about him and to Reid he was nothing.
Luke was on his way home but instead of making the right turn he always made he drove straight to the Lakeview Hotel. For once and for all get the answers that were boiling inside him. He wasn't sure what this was solved but he sure as hell wouldn't stop till he coax him to get what he wanted to know. He ran fingers through his hair, anxious, ill-tempered as he entered the building.
Asking the front desk if he had check in Luke turn to see Reid entered through the glass doors when he saw Blonde man and met eyes. "What do you want?"
"You have people working for you I don't think you're needed here "Reid said asked the check for his mail.
"I think we need to talk" Luke said and followed him into the elevator.
"Luke It's late shouldn't you be with Noah" He said was grateful he stayed only one floor up and watch as the elevator doors open.
"Would you stop?"
"No, we're done talking Mr. Snyder" Reid spat and head down the hallway. Luke rushed out of the elevator after him. This time, he was not going to get away.
