Chapter 7:

Lynette's POV

I sat down on the couch with my legs folded, Alex was out today helping the police in Rome since she wanted to help a bit more and I relax for a bit, all my work was done and I have no more meetings for the morning or night.

All I did so far was watch a boring old movie while eating some food, so far I watched 4 movies that led up to 1 o'clock. I glanced at the time and sighed, anything's fun when you don't do things alone. I stood up and grabbed my keys.

I strolled around a few places since I haven't been here a while and looked around the shops. I decided to buy a few accessorize and presents for Lauren since she was away and made a stop to the packaging office.

I walked past a supermarket and pondered for a bit, "Alex?"

"Yeah?" She asked curiously,

I frowned, "Do we need any food? Last time I checked it was a few days ago and I ate a few of the sweets in the cupboard."

She thought about it, "Yeah, we do. But since when have you used this line for a shopping list? You usually said it was 'dangerous.'" I could hear her quote. I rolled my eyes and cut her off.

I entered the supermarket and got a trolley, I began pushing the trolley and picked up a few things, chocolate, meat, cereal and vegetables etc. Thank God I got out of the house, Alex have been getting a bit annoying and had a temper tantrum now and then. I looked to see what else I needed and growled when I forgot Alex's cereal.

I pushed the half trolley back to the cereal aisle and saw that there was one left on the top shelf. I reached up for it and it slightly came towards me except I gave it a bit of a tug and it was about to fall on top of me.

I widened my eyes till I saw a long and tanned arm came and grabbed the cereal that was about to hit me. I sighed in relief and turned to the person who caught it till I widened my eyes in shock and my heart froze.

"Hi you accidently dropped this…" his jaw dropped a bit and looked a me.

I smiled nervously, "Hey…"

"Lynette?" he questioned.

"It's great to see you again Luke," I smiled uneasily,

Luke was a former neighbour; they had a great and normal friend relationship, one that wasn't affected by me being a savant, However, Luke had left the city soon after their breakup to take a job in England. So what was he doing here?

"Yeah you too," he smiled,

I looked at him curiously, "So what are you doing here Luke? I thought you had taken a job in England?" I tilted my head confused.

He replied, "Yeah well I have a job to do here, so I'll be here for a while." He looked at me and asked, "So what about you?"

I said, "Well Alex is back but Lauren is out on holiday." I smiled at seeing him,

"So Lyn, do you want to catch up sometime?" he asked gesturing to me and him, "It's been a while and I was wondering what you've been doing for the past year or so."

I pondered for a bit and smiled, "Sure, meet me at 6 tomorrow night?"

He smiled at me. "Sure, see you then." He left and went to the tills.

I smiled what would Alex and Lauren think of this?

"Wait Luke's back?" Alex held her phone to her ear eagerly,

I looked around and smiled, "Yeah, he's in town for a job and I bumped into him for at the supermarket, he wants to catch up."

"Are you sure that's it?" Lauren asked, "Last time, I think Luke and you had a bit more interests," I could imagine her frowning.

I rolled my eyes, "It's just to catch up," I frowned, "And what do you mean, 'We had more interests.'" I quoted to her,

"Nothing!" She squeaked.

I narrowed my eyes, "Lauren Melinda Bradley," I warned quietly.

"Alright!" She admitted defeat, "I thought there was something wrong with Luke…" She said, "So I did a bit of snooping," She confessed.

I groaned and leaned back annoyed, "Lauren!" I scolded.

"I'm sorry!" She apologized,

"Even I'm not that nosy!" Alex chuckled, "So what did you find?" She asked intrigued,

"Alexandra!" I warned,

Alex said, "All I want to know is what the boy thought,"

"Alright then," I sighed defeated, "So what did he think?" I asked a bit curious,

"He said that you were beautiful than a thousand diamonds combined and that your eyes sparkled like an emerald." She spoke word for word.

I blushed and muttered, "Damn that's something," My cheeks began colouring.

"You got that right Lyn," Alex teased, "Who would've though you could sweep a guy of his feet like that?"

I coughed slightly, "Alright then, we better drop the conversation. It's not cheap for us to be talking to Lauren who's in London," I emphasized.

"Hey!" Lauren protested, "I want to be a part of your lives too!"

What will happen next? x x x
