Kapitel 21: Connection

LUKE POV

There is no way in heaven or hell that I am leaving this woman again. I have left her so many times and this is not going to make me stop walking her home even if it is the last thing that I am going to do.

I know that I have to get some pills in my system but it is more important for me, to be with the woman that I quite possibly might fall hard for, than getting any pills in my system.

I do not know her well enough to say if she really wants me to continue with her but I do not care. All I know is that I'm not letting go of this moment. I turn to look into her eyes and then say.

"You are right, I should probably get something in my system to get rid of this migraine but there is something else more important"

MIKAYLA POV

I patiently wait for this handsome man before me to give me an answer and I can not help getting lost in his features. The way that his arm muscles bulged against his shirt trying to break free from the material formed to perfect.

The way that he takes his hand while combing his hair back and then he dares to smile at me. Everything inside me screams out to be close to him and my desire grows in leaps to be with him. This is not a normal attraction and I have never felt anything like this towards any man in my life before.

As I hold my breath and wait for him to give me an answer I listen as he speaks. This is not exactly what I wanted to hear but I know that it is the right thing to do. The more important thing is, of course, that he needs to get rest. I know that it is a good thing as I am a doctor and this is the right thing to do.

But then why does it feel like my heart is breaking into pieces because everything in me wants him to walk just for a little while still with me.

"Yes, I agree of course you need to get some pills into your system. So, I guess I'll see you around?"

LUKE POV

I can not help the joy it brings to see that Mikayla does not want me to leave. I see the sadness on her face as she agrees that I need to take some pills. But she did not give me time to finish my sentence yet.

I make sure that she has eye contact with me and then I finish my sentence.

"Mikayla, what I was trying to say is that the more important thing for me to do is…to walk you home until I know you are safe..."

MIKAYLA POV

I do not know what this man is doing to me but he is driving me insane. His words are like a whisper on my skin and it sends small shock waves to the core of my desire for him. He wants me to be safe and he wants to be the one that makes sure that I am safe.

I tried to regain some sort of normality and then act as if it did not affect me in any way.

"Oh okay. Then let's get me home so that you can get the pills into your system?"

I hear as he chuckles a bit and then answers my excellent observation.

"I like the way you think"

I do not want him to see how I am drooling over him because the way that he just laughed is perfect. I wish I can know why I have such a strong attraction towards him.

LUKE POV

As we start to walk towards her house I know that I am supposed to stop walking now but there is nothing that will stop me to walk with her. I want to get to know this woman and I intend to make use of this opportunity.

"So, do you go to that cafe often?"

"Yes, I go there almost every night after my shift, they make a killer burger. What about you?"

I start to wonder if I should tell her the truth that I only went there once because I did not want to run into my ex or should I tell her that I go there often too? I decide to play it safe.

"I do not go there very often but I intend to go there a bit more after recent events"

MIKAYLA POV

I can not help to watch out of the corner of my eye that he starts to blush again but he tries to cover it up by wiping his hand over his cheek. I smile at his attempt to hide his blush as I love it when a man blush.

"Recent events?"

LUKE POV

Damn, I really put my foot in it now. I don't know how she does it but she has this way of making me blush just by telling her how I feel about her. Just like she makes my heart race when I am around her.

I am a rather come confident man but somehow, trying to be confident around her is somewhat of an impossibility. I hate the fact that I blush so easily.

"Yes, I have found something very interesting that I would like to get to know better in that specific cafe. So, I would definitely go and visit that cafe more often"

MIKAYLA POV

Every word that he says is like cold water on a hot summer's day to my heart. He has made no secret that he is interested in me and it is clear that he wants to pursue me. I like the way that he looks me straight into my eyes while saying things like that.

He is a man that is not afraid to express his feelings. His words just make me smile even more and I struggle to keep some form of normality.

"I am glad that a cafe can be that interesting"

"Mikayla, I think you have got it wrong. It is definitely not the cafe that has my interest"
