《Innocent Bet》Chapter 8

Summer's p.o.v
I peek around my door wrapped in a towel. I'm so relieved to find Luke sitting on my bed.
"Hey Luke..."
"Hhmm."
"Can you pick out some clothes for me? I forgot to grab them."
"Okay sunshine."
I shut the bathroom door and scroll through my songs. I pick a song and dance around until I hear a knock.
I slightly open it hiding my bottom half and peeking my top half out. Luke leans on the door frame and hands me my clothes, not hiding the fact that he's looking at my chest area.
"Hey pretty boy, these are not yours!" I cover my chest and glare at him.
"...Yet"
My eyes go wide. Never! I blush and my mind gets all jumbled and so do my words.
"No! Luke! Go, bad boy! Uhhhh!" I spit out and then slam the door shut.
I drop my towel and slip on the black undergarments that he picked out for me. The shirt Luke had picked out for me is a short sleeve dark blue cheer shirt with the words "Oakland Cheer" written across the chest with a Lion at the very end in yellow. The bottoms he picked out for me are black sweatpants from Pink.
I put on the clothes Luke had picked out for me. Luke knows what a girl likes! I mean, he is a player.
I clean up my bathroom and then walk out into my bedroom. I immediately blush when I see Luke sitting on my bed. He looks up at me and smirks.
"One, you look hot even in pajamas. Two, I make your cheeks turn red." He said getting up and walking over to me.
"Stop! I need to grab my uniform for tomorrow and some clothes Incase the game gets canceled." I said covering my cheeks. I drop one hand and poke his chest with my pointer finger with the other hand. I narrow my eyes while looking up at him. "And you, be good and stop being mean to me!"
I turn to walk into my closet but Luke grabs my hand and pulls me back. He pulls me close to him and wraps his arms around my waist. I place my arms on his forearms to try to push away but he's got a firm grip on me.
"Why in such a rush babe? We've got a lot of time." He said.
"Uh, Luke? You're mom isn't here."
"I don't care. I have to have you." Is the last thing he says before he kisses my jaw.
I shiver and close my eyes. The moment is cut short when my door swings open revealing Bella standing there with her jaw hanging open.

"No wonder you guys were taking so long!" She yells.
I blush and so does Luke.
"Bella...uh. It's not what it looks like?" I try to convince her.
"Sure." She drags out.
Luke groans and bends down and places his hands under my butt. He lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck.
"Well uh, bye Bella." I said as Luke walks towards my closet.
"Bye Summer!" She giggled.
"Luke, what the heck are you doing?" I ask as he kicks my closet door shut.
"Continuing."
"Luke, I need to get my-"
"Shut up!"
I glare at him as he pushes me against the wall. He goes for my jaw again the slowly works his way to my neck. I bite the inside of my bottom lip since my lip is still injured to prevent any loud noises from coming out. I quietly moan as he sucks on my neck.
I shouldn't be letting him do this. Next thing you know I'm gonna end up like one of his ho ho ho's. I mean that's the point of this, but I don't want to twerk for free. I open my eyes and unwrap my legs.
"Luke stop!" He stops and looks at me. "I don't trust you yet."
"What do you mean?" His sad eyes switching between my eyes.
"You're just gonna get mad at me if I say it."
"Okay..."
"We'll just stop this here and I'll grab whatever I need then we'll just go over your house."
He nods then let's go of me and walk out of the closet. I can hear my bedroom door open and close. I mean, I'm a child of God. He's a player and I'm just his game right now, simple as that. I'm not sad but I'm not sure how Luke feels.
I grab my cheer uniform and just Incase the game is canceled, I grab a blue Oakland hoodie and a pair of black leggings. I also grab the clothes I'm gonna leave at Luke's. I walk into my bathroom and grab any makeup I need and any hair stuff I need.
I walk downstairs to find Luke sitting on a bench by the entrance and playing on his phone with the blanket he wrapped me in, in his other hand not holding the phone.
I walk into the kitchen to say by to Bella and Duke.
"Hey Summer!" Bella looks up at me and her eyes widen. "Uh...Summer..."
"What? What did I do? Is there something on my face?" I ask her touching my face.

I feel Luke wrap the blanket around me but then goes and sits in a stool by the breakfast bar.
"You...you..." She looks between Luke and I who's playing on his phone.
"I what?"
"You have a hickey!" She blurts.
My hand goes straight to my neck as Luke's head snaps up to look at me.
"Oh shit!" I yell. "We have a game tomorrow!"
"Hey, at least we're wearing our turtle neck liners." Bella tried to lighten the mood.
"Oh shit!" I yell again.
"Why are you cursing?" Bella yells back.
"Oh shit!" I slap my forehead. "What am I gonna do when we change after the game? Coach is probably gonna be pissed and think I'm some kind of slut! And if I tell people who it's from..." I snap my head in Luke's direction, "they're gonna think I'm a bigger slut!"
"Is that why you cut our session short?" Luke asks.
"Uhhh, yeah! I'm not playing your games Luke! Also, I don't shake my butt for free!"
"Uhhh, incase you've forgotten Summer. I'm supposed to make you fall in love with me." Luke said in a duh tone.
He's right, but I'm ticked and not about to twerk for the fans in the stands. He gave me a hickey.
"Oh my gosh! You gave me a damn hickey because you wanted me to twerk!"
"That's the point Summer!"
"Couldn't you just do something else that won't leave a damn mark on me?" He opens then closes his mouth. "Exactly!"
I whip the blanket around as I walk towards the bathroom. I observe the hickey on my neck. I mean, it's not dark and I'm sure I'll be able to cover this with concealer.
I stomp out of the bathroom to find Luke standing right outside of it.
"You're lucky it's not so dark." I narrow my eyes at him.
"Summer, you're lucky you told me to stop. You're too hot I just wouldn't be able to resist."
My heart flutters and I stop glaring. I can feel myself blush and his smirk appears on his face. I go back to glaring at him again.
"You're lucky you're one of my eye candy's because if you weren't I would've slapped the crap out of you." I said.
I'm pretty sure I just inflated his ego but I don't care. I stomp off towards the entrance as Luke follows me. I slip on my moccasins as he slips on his slides.
•••
We bickered the whole way to his house about every subject we could think of.
"I'm so mad at you." I said shutting my car door.
"You love me." He winks.
"Not now!" I skip to his front door and walk in. I see Melissa sitting on the couch watching some late night news. "Hi Melissa!" I smile at her as she turns around.
"Hey sweetie!" She smiles back. Her smile turns into a smirk when she observes me.
Well shoot. It's the darn hickey.
"Hey babe, you forgot your stuff." Luke said walking in and handing me my stuff which I take.
"So, what took you two so long?" Melissa asks.
"Summer had to take a shower." Luke answers walking further into the entrance and leaning on a wall crossing his arms. I go stand next to him.
"Hhmm. So you guys weren't doing anything else?"
"Uh, no?" Luke looks at me. Then at my hickey. He then clears his throat.
"So Summer burned her neck?" Melissa asks.
"Uh, no?" He repeats.
"Okay... I'll leave you two kiddos alone, don't shut your door Luke." Melissa said kind of sternly.
"Okay mom." Luke said. He shoves me upstairs and into his room. He closes his door leaving just a tiny gap. Not a surprise.
I plop down onto his bed with an annoyed "hmph" and cross my arms.
"You know a lot of girls would love to get hickey's from me." He said.
"Okay, then go give them hickey's!"
"I'm not sure if you know this about me but I don't give hickey's to just any girl. Not even Christina and Ria."
I raise my eyebrows at him. He's lying, he's just trying to win me over. I won't believe it.
"I don't believe you." I narrow my eyes.
"Well that's okay if you don't. Just know that if I did give out hickey's to any girl don't you think my mom would've been upset?" He challenges me. I open then close my mouth. He's right but I won't admit that. "Exactly."
"Don't argue with me! I'm going to bed!" I walk around one side and get under the covers. "You can sleep outside!" I huff.
I hear Luke chuckle. He takes a pillow off the bed and a blanket from his closet. He comes over to my side of the bed and lies down. He smiles up at me and I glare down at him.
"Goodnight Sunshine." He whispers before I feel myself relax and fall asleep.

Meant To Be Rivals
Amy and Wena were inseparable best friends since childhood. If there was anything that could bring them even more closer, it was their love for anime and novels.

8 124RE: DEVTHOR
From a certain author's perspective, the world he lived in had always been a boring uninteresting place. If asked if he could name one good thing about it, he probably couldn't. Up until forty, he lived in complete isolation and solitude, but he never once regretted or felt dissatisfied about the kind of life he lived. But despite being content with such a lifestyle, it seems some god... or perhaps some busybody devil galavanting about playing pretend god was immensely dissatisfied with the way he lived his life and wanted to play a sick joke on him by sending him back to his first day in high school after he died a mysterious death. Approached by a suspicious red-haired girl shortly after awakening and recognizing where he was, he's abruptly given a second chance at a youth filled with romance. But what does this forty years old man turned sixteen do when confronted with youth? He flips youth off and tells it to take a hike, he's having none of it. If there was some sort of godly existence watching over him from somewhere unknown, their only natural reaction would be to facepalm and question what was wrong with this incompetent romanceless idiot who knew nothing of love. Low fantasy only really starts to appear around volume 3. Presently there are 7 volumes for this series totaling about 850k words.
