Unexpected

Chapter 6

Sasha woke up that morning with dried tears on her face. She felt disgusting so she jumped in the shower in hopes to wash away her troubles and it almost worked, almost being the key word. She got out off the shower and dried  herself with a towel and went to get dressed. She ended up wearing the white ripped shorts that she had bought last week with a classic dark grey, sleeveless The Beatles shirt and a pair of wine red converse. She smoked her eyes a little and gave soft curls to her hair. She walked down stairs for a family breakfast.. Great, not what I needed right now she thought. Not that she needed a fifteen minute car ride alone with Luke either but it was either that or walking so she didn’t have much of a choice.

”Morning honey, sleep well?” Her mother asked as she poured her a cup of coffee.

”Actually I did.” She answered and took the cup out of her mothers hands.

”Not to cut this lovely breakfast short but we gotta go.” He said and took a piece of toast and bit down on it as he walked to the door.

”I’ll be right there.” She said and downed the rest of her coffee and grabbed an apple before running out after him.

”This might just be working.” Laura said and sat down next to Paul with her own cup of coffee.

”I know.. I thought it was gonna take longer for those two to get along cause they seemed so tense at the dinner at your old house.” Paul admitted but he was happy at the turn out.

”I guess she just got over the shock. I’m more surprised that neither of them as objected to this marriage more. Don’t get me wrong, I love the fact that they seem okay with it. Something’s just off.. you know?” Laura was sceptical to their children’s reaction but Paul couldn’t blame her since he had them himself.

”I get it, just let the whole moving thing settle down and you should start hearing some complains.” He told her in a way to calm her down.

”Oh, you know just what to say don’t you?” She said and gave his hand a light squeeze.

”Sometimes, but I prefer not to talk at all.” He said flirty as he pulled her in for a sweet lingering kiss.

Luke and Sasha had been in the car for a few minutes without saying a word, there wasn’t an awkward silence. Both of them felt that it was a nice change for them, not fighting.

”So you look kind of hot today” Luke said as he checked her out, wanting to at least say something during the drive.

”Kind of hot? I’m hotter than usual and you know it.” She said with confident.

”Okay you look extremely hot today miss Harris.” Luke said in an unusual gentleman way.

”Miss Harris? What are we? From the 20’s?” She laughed and asked.

”No, I just like the way it sounds. Miss Harris, it’s classy.” He said with a smile and she couldn’t help but laugh a little more.

”Sure.. just keep it up Wilson.” she said as she kept laughing.

”So, do you write any music of your own?” He put the question in a way so she wouldn’t know he was listening in on her last night.

”Some, but they’re nothing special.” She didn’t want to get in to anything that was related to her father right now.

”I’m sure that’s not true.” He pushed her just a little.

”Well you haven’t heard any of them so you wouldn’t know.” She said as she saw her old street passing by the window.

”Then you’ll just have to play me them sometime.” He said with a smile. He really wanted to hear my music. Fine, he’s a musician but still. Why would he wanna know about my songs? Sasha asked herself.

”Maybe one day if you’re lucky..” She couldn’t help but flirt with him a bit. She kept telling herself that she wasn’t gonna play him like Mel had put it yesterday but a part of her just couldn’t help it.

”Fingers crossed than.” He smiled at her as he pulled up to school.

They caught a few eyes when they got out of the car. Maybe not so weird since the two hottest people in that place just came to school together with actual smiles on their faces.

”See you later, I gotta find Mel.” Sasha said but didn’t give him a chance to say anything before walking off.

”Later Harris.” He said after her and looked at her while she walked away from him.

He got snapped out of his gazing once she got out of his sight and Brian walked up to him.

”So what’s going on with you and miss hottie?” Brian asked him as he still had her on his mind.

”Nothing Brian.” He didn’t feel up to Brian and his stupid comments right now.

”That didn’t seem like nothing man. You guys seemed almost happy to be with each other..?” Brian didn’t know what had happened the past two days.

”Stop it Brian, our parents are engaged and she just moved in last night.” He said it as if it was nothing but they both knew it wasn’t.

”Wait!! You have the hot Sasha Harris down the hall from you? Every night?” Luke sight at his friend’s only thought when it came to girls, s*x.

”Stop it Brian I’m serious.” He didn’t know why he was reacting like this cause he and Liam were saying the same stuff yesterday. Maybe it had something to do with what he had heard her sing and seeing how she was crushed last night. He felt protective of her and he couldn’t help it.

***

The day went by so fast and Sasha felt like she had just walked away from Luke and his car when she exited the school to walk back to it. Seeing him leaning against the car made her remember how hot he really was, she had almost forgot about it.

”Ready to go?” He asked her.

”Yeah, let’s go.” She said and got into the car. It was not something she thought that she would ever do, to willingly get into Lucas Wilson’s car and be happy about it.

Once at home Sasha gave her mom a quick hug and said that she wasn’t joining them for dinner tonight. After that she rushed upstairs to her room to get ready for her big date with Charlie. She had already picked out the perfect outfit with Mel the other night so she just had to redo her makeup so it would go with the dress that was now lying on her bed. She fixed some of the curls in her hair before she pinned it to one side. She was finally done and had just slipped on a pair of simple black heels when her door opened up.

”You don’t knock?” She raised a brow at him.

”Oh, sorry I just..” He just stood there looking at her, she looked stunning in that off white dress with beadings working their way from her shoulder to her breasts. She twirled a little and showed of the open back of the dress.

”That good huh?” She said, flirting with him a little.

”Yeah, you’re stunning but you knew that already.” He said and took a few steps closer. ”So what’s the occasion?”

”I have a date.” She said and couldn’t help but smile as she put all the stuff she needed into a black clutch.

”With who?” He said and took a step closer.

”What? Jealous?” She said and teased him by drawing her finger down his chest.

”No.. no, just cur.. curious.” He couldn’t help but stutter by her touch.

”Really? Well then you can ask Charlie all about it tomorrow.” She said and walked away. Leaving Luke feel like a bucket of ice water was just thrown at him.

”Really.. Charlie? Out of every guy in school you pick Charlie?” He followed her out of her room.

”Yeah, he’s nice and I like him. Live with it Wilson.” She said just as the doorbell rang and she made her way down the stairs as her mother opened the door and letting him inside.

”Wow.” He was stunned by the girl walking down the stairs.

”You look really beautiful honey.” Her mother said as she pulled her daughter in to a hug and added, ”Have fun and be safe.” She let Sasha go and turned to Charlie, ”Have her home by eleven. It’s a school night after all.” She said with a smile.

”Don’t worry, I’ll look out for her.” He said as he led her towards his car.

Luke just stood at the top of the stairs and watched, he couldn’t help but feel angry and jealous. ’God, I can’t be feeling like this’ was the thoughts that kept rolling on his mind the rest of the night.

”So are you telling me where we’re going yet?” Sasha asked Charlie as they pulled out off their gated community.

”No, you’ll see when we get there.” He said mysteriously.

”I usually like surprises but the suspense is killing me right now.” She admitted.

”Patient Sasha, it’s not that far away now.” He said and turned to give her a reassuring smile.

”Fine.. I’ll let it go for this time and this time only.” She said and giggled a little.

”Good, cause we’re here.” He said and she looked out to see a little italian restaurant in front of the car.

”This is nice Charlie.” She said as he came to open to door for her and helped her out.

”My mom always says that they have amazing food here so I thought why not.” She found it cute that his mother had recommended it and that he listened to her.

”Well I’m impressed so far and I doubt it could get worse.” She said with a smile when he took her arm in his and walked through the doors.

”For every second you’re with me it keeps getting better and better.” She couldn’t help but blush, why had she said no the last time he had asked her out? This is what she needed, he was what she needed.

”Thanks, that comment might have just made my day.” She said and smiled up at him.

”Happy to help.” He said to her with a smile before he turned to the waitress to let her show them to their table.

Luke walked into the living room to find Paul and Laura cuddled up on the couch watching some movie on the plasma.

”Dad, could I borrow you for a second.” He said and his father looked up at him.

”Sure, I’ll be right back baby.” He said and gave Laura a quick kiss before he joined his son in the kitchen.

”So I talked to the label yesterday and they were talking about wanting to see how I was with a crowed and I was thinking that maybe I could do some songs at the club opening this weekend..?” He explained and waited with hope for his fathers response.

”I think that would be great idea. I mean they need to know that you got presence and that thing that makes you special so why not.” He said with a smile.

”Thanks dad, I had another thought too..” Luke said the last part with much less confidence than he usually had.

”What’s that?” His father got suspicious and intrigued.

”Well I overheard Sasha singing and playing some songs last night. So maybe we could get her up there too. I mean you should hear her, she’s kind of amazing.” His voice was filled with adoration.

”If you think that you can make that happen I would like that. Maybe you should check with Laura just in case, she do knows her better than any of us.” His father that have a point.

”Did I just hear my name?” She asked as she entered the kitchen.

”Yeah, well I’m doing a few songs at the opening this weekend and after I overheard Sasha singing the other day I think that getting her up there might be a good idea. What do you say?” He asked hopefully.

”That would be amazing, I always tell her to get her music out there but she always make up excuses. So if you tell her before hand she is gonna find a way out of it just so you know.” Laura said and Luke laughed a little at the fact that she was suggesting to trick her own daughter.

”Well, then we just not tell her about it until the last minute. You think that would work?” He asked the two of them.

”I think that might be a good plan. Let’s just get Melody in on it too so they don’t make any other plans or so.” His father said.

”I think it could work.” Laura said with a smile.

They had been done eating for a while and they just sat there and talked for hours. Suddenly Sasha starts to panic when she sees what time it is.

”Charlie, how long did it take to get here from my house?” She asked with a panicked voice.

”About ten minutes, why?” He didn’t understand why she was so wound up. 

”Cause it’s about ten minutes until my curfew...” She held up her phone to he could see the time.

”Well, we better get going than.” He said and held out his hand for her to hold.

”Why thank you.” She said with a giggle and took his hand.

They got in the car and drove to back to Sasha’s house. He walked her to the door, never letting go of her hand.

”I had a really good time tonight Sasha.” He said once they reached the front door.

”Likewise, we better do this again sometime.” She said with a smile.

”You sure?” He wanted to make sure.

”Of course.” She said as he started to lean in.

”Good.” He said before he closing the small distance between them.

Sasha couldn’t help but give in to the kiss. It was so sweet and she felt safe in his arms and it wasn’t often that happened now a days. Everything was perfect, well almost perfect. It wasn’t the same heat and passion that she had felt in her kisses with Luke. Shake it Sasha was her only thoughts once Luke’s name entered her head. They broke apart and Charlie gave her one last kiss before he let go of her and walk to his car.

”I’ll see you tomorrow.” He said before he got in his car and drove off. Sasha turned around, opened the door and walked inside. Once she closed the door she leaned against it. This was a great night, no an almost perfect night.

”Had a good night?” Luke said from the top of the stairs, bringing her back to reality.

”A great night actually.” She said as she walked towards him. Once she reached him, he stopped her by putting his arm around her and pulling her closer to him

”I can make it even better.” He said seductively in her ear and she almost melted by his breath on her skin.

”How would you do that?” She asked and turned so she faced him, not really knowing how close they’ll be.

”Well first of all we need to get you out of those heels.” He smirked.

”Oh, you mean these?” She said and pulled them off. Good girl, make him sweat she thought as she read his face.

”Yeah” He said and slowly walked towards their bedrooms and he kept his face as close to her he could. His breathing was getting heavy.

”Then what?” She said, getting her face closer to his if that was even possible.

”This.” He whispered as he started to kiss her neck while he pulled down the zipper on the side of her dress.

This was it, the make it or break it moment for her. Either she was walking away or doing something that she shouldn’t be doing. She pulled herself together and pushed him an inch away from her.

”Game on.” She whispered in his ear before she walked out of his arms and into her bedroom, closing the door behind her.
