Chapter 152: You're Still The One

~~Looks like we made it. Look how far we've come, my baby. We mighta took the long way. We knew we'd get

there someday. You're still the one I run to, the one that | belong to. You're still the one | want for life (You're still

the one). You're still the one that I love, the only one | dream of. You're still the one I kiss goodnight~~~

“You're Still the One (Shania Twain)-

| blinked repeatedly, not knowing what to say to him because even I, myself don't know when | stop or when

should I stop as pleasure and desire had already consumed my entire body and sanity. "Sam..."

| heard him call me, maybe he was waiting for an answer.

"Luke--- holy shit!" but | jerked when suddenly my phone vibrated in my dress pocket.

"Who is that?" He groaned, resting his face on the crook of my neck as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

But I chuckled when | saw who the caller was.

"Why? Who is that?" He asked again, lookingin the face. His arms were still on my waist.

"Your daughter," | shrugged, smiling.

| was about to answer the phone but it's already ended.

"I'm not sure if it's really a call or just a missed call."

"Huh?" His voice sounded shocked and disappointed and | proved that with his next words. "Haist! Why would

Cali call at this very hour? Oh, Jesus, our daughter knows what timing means,"

I chuckled more at his reaction, but | simply kissed him on the forehead to flatten the frown on his face.

"I think I should go home, | mean, | should go to my flat because it's getting late and we still have work

tomorrow."

He stared atfor a moment and then sighed.

"Alright, I'll walk you to your door."

"Ohh... you don't have to do it, it's fine," | said shaking my head.

"Nope, it's not fine with me." he pinched the tip of my nose.

Biting my lip, | nodded. "If that's what you want,"

But then his face suddenly turned serious.

"Don't do it again,"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Don't bite your lip, you don't know what that simple thing can do to me, sweetheart."

"Oh, | - I'm sorry," | awkwardly smiled.

"Let's go,"

| held my breath when he liftedby the waist and putdown to my feet.

"How about the dishes?" | asked, pointing to the dishes on the sink.

"Tsk. Tsk. Don't worry about them, I'll wash them the next day." He winked.

"Luke!" My face went horrified.

"Just kidding," he chuckled. "Con, it's getting late."

| couldn't help looking at our intertwined hands as we walked through the living room and also as we walked out

of the door of his apartment. He was walking ahead of me, so | had tto stare and smiled secretly while

watching our hands sway in the air. And when we were in front of the door of my apartment...

"So..." He uttered when we stopped. My hand was still in his.

"Thanks, Luke, for the dinner," | smiled, biting my lip as what we had shared earlier danced in my head.

"And thank you too for this night, Sam," he reciprocated my smile. I don't know if he's also thinking about what |

had in mind at that moment.

And then we fell silent for | don't know how long. We're just standing in front of my apartment with intertwined

hands, but ain't talking.

"Luke..."

"Hmm?"

"I'm going in,"

"Alright," he sighed..

"Good night,"

"Good night, Sam,"

I was about to kiss him on the cheek, but I didn't know, he was about to do the stoo, so in the end, we were

both surprised as our lips ended up on each other's lips. "Ohh..." | uttered, blinking but he just chuckled.

| don't really understand but there was something heavy, a force that keptfrom staying and pulling my feet

closer to him if only | hadn't thought that someone might see us in the hallway. "I'm going in," | told him again

and gulped when | felt his grip tighten when he nodded.

-What the heck is going on with me?'- | asked in my head, trying to take my hand back before thinking of

throwing myself at him.

| let out a sigh of relief... no... a sigh of dismay when he finally let go of my hand.

"Good night, Sam,"

"Good night, Luke," | muttered,

almost a whisper, and finally pushed the door to open. "Whew!" | sighed loudly the moment my back leaned

against the door. Honestly, | was still restraining myself at that moment not to open the door again, call him and

kiss him.

| still felt the way his lips lingered on my skin and his touch still brought excitement to my now throbbing insides.

| was still steadying my breath when | heard a knock from outside followed by his voice and jeez--- | bit my lower

lip so hard. "Sam..."

-'Pull yourself together, for God's sake, Samantha!'- | gritted my teeth, despite the new surge of excitement

filling up my system. | took a deep breath.

"Luke---"

But | gasped as a pair of soft lips captured mine as soon as | opened the door. | don't have to ask him why as my

heart didn't givetto do it. | instantly responded to his kisses that soon he ended up e entering my

apartment. And with his free hand, he closed the door behind

us while we kept doing our business.

His kisses instantly threw my body into the fire of desire and pleasure at the stime. Our breaths started to

becerratic, especially when his hands wrapped aroundkneading and his lips moved down my neck.

| fisted his soft hair as | tilted my

head to give him more access to my skin. | couldn't help the faint moans that simultaneously escaped my throat

when | felt his bare hand on my back. | didn't even notice that he had already unzipped my dress, but | didn't

protest, instead, | arched my body closer to him.

And because we were too absorbed in the pleasure that had already crept into our sanity, we both didn't notice

the huge porcelain vase near the console cabinet. We only noticed it when we heard the loud smash and saw the

shattered glasses on the floor. "Oh, my God!" | gasped and was about to free myself from his embrace and look

at the broken vase, but he tightened his grip. "Luke---"

"Don't move! You could hurt yourself,"

"But--- huh!" | swallowed the next word in my throat when he suddenly pickedup in bridal style and walked

over to the couch.”

"| promise to clean it later, but for now..."

| raised an eyebrow when he flasheda wicked grin.

"Okay," the only word | said before | felt my lips being captured by him again.

We continued what we were doing and soon | found myself lying on the couch with him on top of me.

Waves of pleasure consumedwhen his lips nibbled my skin on the blade of my shoulder while his hands

slowly took my dress off.

But the the was about to kissagain, we were both stunned and stopped when we heard loud knocks on

the door followed by Hailey's voice.

"Sam!"
