Chapter 18
Reid and Luke were laying in bed, they both finally fell asleep. The next morning Reid woke up finding Luke laying on his chest. He kind of freaked out so he touched Luke waking him up. Luke smiled, "Good morning"
"Luke your laying on me"
Luke moved over, "Sorry I'm a mover in bed"
"I noticed , I'm not" Luke smiled, "My head touched you, I wasn't getting fresh or did I do something I shouldn't do in my sleep"?
Reid got up putting his housecoat on, "No you didn't I'm going to make some coffee"
"Reid are you freaked out"?
"No I need coffee" Reid walked out of the bedroom, he wouldn't admit he was so physically attracted to Luke. He got to the kitchen, and grabbed the kettle filling it with water.
"Reid you feel it too" Luke said coming into the kitchen
"Feel what"?
"The attraction why fight it"?
"Because this is a Professional relationship remember"
"Really your dead set against a personal relationship too"?
"Yeah it will ruin everything sex normally does, I learned from experience"
'What happened"?
"Nothing I just want to focus on my boxer career, not on romance done that, I moved on"
"You got hurt"
"Yeah I did not ever again"
"Who hurt you"?
"God you are nosy Luke mind your own business"
"You know more about me, than I know about you"
"All you need to know is about my boxing, not my personal affairs"
Luke got up walking over to Reid, "Tell me you don't want to kiss me right now"
"I don't I want a coffee"
"God you are such a bad liar, I can tell if someone is attracted to me"
"Fine I'm attracted but drop it Luke please"
Luke walked back sitting down, "Don't you get tired of being lonely"?
Reid put two mugs down, and poured the coffee. "Yeah I hate it, but getting burned by love hurts more"
"I would never hurt you"?
"Really can you promise that, beside your family would pay someone to kill me if I touched their precious son."
"Your wrong my family don't own me, I live my own life"
"Yeah I bet Mommy does your laundry still, and packs a lunch for her little boy". Luke got up pushing Reid to the sink, "I'm not like that why do you put me down constantly"?
"Sorry I offended you, but I know the type"
"You are so wrapped in your own little world Reid. You want to be mean, and nasty so people won't want to get close. I see it in your eyes you want just what I want, and I don't get it."
"I'm complicated I get it" Reid smiled as Luke whispered, "I give up, I won't push you"
Reid whispered, "I like you Luke, I could grab you, and kiss you, and make love right here, but it would be a sexual thing, would you want that"?
Luke smiled, "Maybe"
Reid smiled, "You don't you want the romance, and I'm not the romantic guy, I'm not your type"
"Who says"?
"Me". Reid got up, "I'm going to shower, you can shower after me". Luke watched him leave, he looked at his cup, he knew he should let it go but something about Reid drew him in, he wasn't going to give up that easy.
