Chapter 19

Reid was sitting beside Jacob, he couldn't get Luke out of his mind. Sanda was looking at the TV but she really wasn't paying attention either. The phone rang, Reid got up running to it.

"Hello"

"Hey Reid how is Jacob"?

"Good he is watching TV, how are you"?

"Reid is it OK if Jacob spends the night, I wouldn't ask but I really need to get some stuff done, and I will be real late"

"Sure I wouldn't mind"

"Really you seem down is everything OK"?

"Yeah I'm fine, I'm more worried about Sanda"

"Sanda why what is wrong"?

"Nothing really serious, can I tell you later, I don't want her hearing me on the phone"

"Sure I will call Jacob later to say goodnight"

"Sounds good to me"

"Don't eat lots of junk food, or you will be up all night with him having a tummy ache"

"I know Katie, don't worry about him"

"Bye tell Sanda, and Jacob I miss them"

"I will" He hung up, and Sanda got up, "Who was that Katie"?

"Yeah Jacob is spending the night, would you like to spend the night too"?

"Sure I will help you out" Reid hugged her, they both went into the kitchen, and Sanda was making coffee. The phone rang again, Sanda picked it up thinking it was Katie again.

"Hi Katie"

"It isn't Katie it is Luke, I really need to talk to Reid"

"Just one minute" Sanda put the phone down, "It is Luke"

"Oh God really"

"Talk to him he sounds upset"

Reid got up walking over to the phone. "Hello"

"Reid what happened at the park"?

"Nothing, I had to go"

"No I thought maybe we could go out sometime, I know I upset you"

"Luke I didn't know you were gay, I was a little shocked"

"You are gay so what is wrong with it"?

"Luke please can we talk some other time"

"Reid what is the matter if you don't like me just say it. I can handle it , but you acting this way hurts"

Sanda left the kitchen, and walked over to Jacob sitting down. Reid turned hoping she didn't hear him.

"Luke I was shocked because one of my best friends really likes you . She was hurt, and I felt horrible so that is why I acted the way I did"

"One of your friends likes me"?

"Yeah Sanda please don't tell her I said this. I want you to understand, she thought you were someone special, so it was a shock to me, but Sanda was devastated. I don't know if going out would be a good idea right now."

"Oh Reid I didn't know about Sanda, I'm so sorry"

"It isn't your fault Luke, but maybe we should just be friends right now"

"If that is what you want, I understand"

"Luke thank you for understanding, I better get back to Sanda and Jacob"

"Bye Reid"

"Bye" Reid hung up, he looked at the phone when Sanda walked up behind him.

"Reid if you want to go on a date go I'm OK with it"

"No this is for the best"

"You like him Reid, I can see it"

"I don't know what I want right now, but I want to order a pizza, and the three of us can watch Toy Story 3 again"

"Pizza sounds great, I will order it"

"Order a extra large we can have some for breakfast"

Sanda giggled "Breakfast Reid , I don't believe you"

"Cold pizza at breakfast is a real treat" They both laugh as Jacob ran into the kitchen.

"You guys coming in to watch TV, I hate being alone". Reid lifted him up, "Sure Bud" He walked into the living room as Sanda smiled, and walked over to the phone to call the pizza place.
