Chapter 22

Reid and Luke were talking, and getting along real well. Ben was watching them it was the first time he has seen Reid smile in a long time. Luke was holding the punching bag as Reid was punching it.

"Luke concentrate or you will get hit in the face again"

"I'm trying to concentrate but your distracting me"

"Me why"?

"You look way sexier when you are all sweaty, and out of breath" Reid stopped punching, "That is sick , you really should go home" Reid walked over grabbing a water bottle as Luke walked up behind him.

"Come on I was just noticing how sexy you are"

Reid turned around pouring the water over his head. "Now you can cool down, and be quiet or I'm going to get killed Friday"

"OK I'm going to focus" Reid started to laugh, Luke was cute but he wasn't going to admit it. They both go over sitting down on the bench, when they notice two ladies walk in the gym. Luke jumped up, "Oh My God, it is my Grandma, and my Mom". Lily and Lucinda walked over, and Luke grabbed a towel wiping his face.

"Luke Snyder you have not been home, and you didn't call in to say you were OK"

Reid smiled, 'Grandma thought we hurt you down here in the bad part of town". Lucinda put her hands on her hips, and smiled at Reid.

Reid got up putting his hand out to her. "Remember me I'm toothpick"

"I see that you have gained some weight, and you have grown up" Reid smile as Luke whispered, "Grandma why are you here"?

"Looking for you young man"

Reid smiled as Lily told him he was dismissed which made Reid mad. He grabbed his towel, and walked away, and over to Ben.

"I feel sorry for Luke having to live with those two"

"What did she say this time"?

"It was the Mother she dismissed me like I was garbage. She didn't even shake my hand"

Ben whispered, "Don't get them angry, I want to keep my job, and so do you"

" Yeah it is hard, I wanted to call her a "

Ben put his hand up, "No fowl language son, or you owe me dinner for a week"

"Oh right it might be worth it" Ben smiled as Reid went over to do some more weight lifting.

Lucinda was looking at Reid she whispered, 'He has grown up to be a fine looking man hasn't he"?

Luke smiled, "Yeah he is fine"

Lily grabbed Luke's arm, "Why did you stay down here last night"?

"My car was damaged so I stayed with Reid"

Lucinda laughed, "Maybe my car can be damaged, and I can spend the night with Reid too"

"Grandma he is Gay"

"What" ? Lucinda and Lily said at the same time making Luke laugh.

"Yeah he is gay, and he is driving me crazy"

Lily grabbed his arm, "He is way not your type look at him, and look where he works"

"Yeah I'm his manager do you have to be such a snob"?

"I will not tolerate this Luke, you had such a deceit young man, and you threw it away for this"

Luke smiled, "Mom don't worry he wants a strictly professional relationship, and that sucks for me"

Lucinda laughed making Lily mad, she whispered, "You really disappoint me sometimes Luke"

"Yeah Mom I get it, please go home I'm fine"

"You will be home tonight"

"I will call you if I'm not"

Lily was angry she walked away, Lucinda gave Luke a look but smiled as she whispered, "Oh man he is hot, I don't blame you for falling for the guy"

"Thank you Grandma can you get Mom to feel the same way"?

"I will try, but call OK"

"I will Grandma"

Lucinda walked away but waved to Reid, he waved back as Lily yelled.

"Come on Mom what is wrong with you"?

"Nothing Lily a woman can look can't she"?

"Oh My God " Lily stormed out as Lucinda followed her, and Reid laughed as Luke started to laugh too.
