Chapter Twenty-two

Just as promised, Luke was at the house the next day at one. Annie and Jen had camped out at the window to catch sight of him when he pulled up.

“The two of you are ridiculous,” I informed them as I scurried around, gathering my things.

“It’s your own fault,” Annie said. “You told us this was the hottest guy you’ve ever seen. Did you honestly think we weren’t going to want to check him out?”

I couldn’t deny she had a point. “Where the hell are my shoes?” I moaned, rifling through the front closet. “This is silly, I just had them…”

“Ooh, I think he’s here!” Jen squealed.

“Shit!” I said, standing up quickly. “I’m not ready!”

“I guess he’ll just have to come in,” Annie said smugly. “And you owe me a dollar.”

I groaned. “Alright, listen, you two,” I said firmly as I heard Luke’s car door slam outside. “If you do anything to embarrass me, I will kill you. Seriously.”

Annie snorted but was prevented from replying by a knock on the door.

“We’ll be good, I promise,” Jen said, smiling at me as she went to let Luke in.

She opened the front door and I heard her draw in her breath sharply. “Hi,” she said breathily. “I’m Jen, Ginny’s roommate. Come on in.”

“Hi, Jen, I’m Luke,” he responded from the porch. She stepped aside and Luke entered the room.

I couldn’t blame Jen for being flustered. Luke looked great today, even better than normal. He was wearing jeans and a blue sweater over a white dress shirt. The white of the shirt stood out markedly against his tan skin, and the sweater made his eyes look particularly blue. It wasn’t just that Luke was attractive, it was his entire demeanor. I don’t know how to describe it except to say that he was very, very male. He towered over the three of us, and I could practically feel the girls go all fluttery next to me.

“Hey, Luke,” I said, trying to keep my voice light.

He beamed at me. “Hi, Ginny. You look great.”

I blushed and looked down. For God’s sake, why did I have to constantly act like a twelve-year-old girl around him?

Across the room, I heard Annie clear her throat infinitesimally. “Oh, Luke, this is Annie, my other roommate.”

“Hi,” she practically purred, sliding up next to him. “I’ve heard a lot about you.” I glared at her, but Luke just smiled.

“I’ve heard a lot about you guys, too,” he said pleasantly.

“So where are you two off to?” she asked, moving slightly closer to him. God, she could be irritating.

“I thought we’d go to the zoo today,” Luke addressed me, raising his eyebrows as if to ask me what I thought.

“I haven’t been to the zoo in forever!” I said, excited. The Detroit Zoo was located in Royal Oak, right down the road from us, but I hadn’t gone since I was a kid.

“It’s supposed to actually feel a little like spring today,” he said. “I thought it would be nice to be outside.
