Chapter 54
“Okay, Romeo.” Stephen grabbed Reid by the back of his jacket. “Come on. Let him write.”
Reid leaned over Luke’s shoulder, where he had a couple books, a journal, a cup of coffee and a bagel.
“Do you really want to write? Wouldn’t you rather spend the day with me, in bed…or on the couch…the kitchen table, I don’t care…” He kissed Luke’s ear softly. “Of course, the couch was very hot last night.” He whispered.
“That it was.” Luke said. “But I’ve got the whole day to write…the whole day, Reid…all mine.”
Reid couldn’t resist the happy glow on Luke’s face. “Oh all right. I suppose I can’t really spend the whole day here having sex with you anyway.”
“Oh my.” Stephen said. “Too much information, Reid. Come on.”
“Uh-huh.” Reid looked at his friend. “Kyle arrives when?”
“Seventeen days.”
“Not that you’re counting, right?”
Stephen rolled his eyes.
“We’ll see how you change your tune.”
“I very likely will.” He again grabbed Reid by the collar. “In the meantime, you and I have skulls to crack into, and boring meetings with pretentious know-it-alls to attend, and you’re car is in the shop again! When are you gonna spend some money on a new one?”
“I know, I know,” Reid said, and he kissed Luke once more, and then they both left for the hospital together.
It was still early and Luke was excited to be writing today. He felt good. Sex with Reid last night had been exhilarating - no hesitation, no holding back, so much tenderness and trust. And he’d slept like a baby and woke up refreshed. And he knew, just knew, that today would be a good day to write. Suddenly there was a knock at the door - a fairly insistent one.
“Oh God, it’s probably Noah.” He said with a sigh, walking towards the door. “But I told him I wasn’t available today, and he usually calls.”
He opened the door and, for the second time in just a few weeks, he was surprised to find Samantha there, this time in the arms of Allison.
“Ali? What are you doing here?” he touched Sammy’s cheek. “Hey there, Sweetheart. How are you?” She reached out her arms to him and he took her.
“Luke, have you heard from Noah?”
“What? No. Why?” He stepped inside with the baby in his arms.
She sighed and followed Luke in.
Luke turned around. “Allison…why is Sammy with you? And why would I have heard from Noah? He’s staying with you.”
She sighed again. “He’s gone.”
“Gone?”
“Yeah. He left last night.”
“What?”
“Called me at around midnight…from the road. He’d only been driving for about twenty minutes, but he wanted to check and make sure Sammy was alright. She was right outside my bedroom door, asleep in her crib…with a note from Noah. I have no idea where he’s gone.”
Luke shook his head, confused, as his hand rubbed circles over Samantha’s back.
“What…” he shook his head again.
“He said he needed a few days…to sort himself out.”
“But…” Luke sighed. This wasn’t Ali’s fault, he reminded himself. “Do you want some coffee?”
“Okay. Just a little. I’m actually on my way to the hospital.”
He nodded, and she followed him into the kitchen and poured herself a cup.
“Why would he do this?” Luke asked.
“I was hoping you’d know. He seemed upset when we left Metro last night, and then I was barely asleep when he called to say that he needed time to sort himself out. Did something happen?”
“No.” Luke shrugged. “I don’t think so.”
“I think it was hard for him…seeing you and Reid so…so happy, I guess. So together.”
“Ali, we’ve been together for months.”
“Yeah, but he hasn’t seen most of that…togetherness. I think he was hoping - and I encouraged him to believe it - that you two would…well, you always get back together. I had no idea…you and Reid? It’s serious?”
Luke nodded. “I’ve never - ever - been happier, Allison.”
An hour later, Allison gone to the hospital, Luke was sitting on the floor with…with his daughter…and with a journal in his hands. So, this was multitasking. What, exactly, had made Noah run away, leaving Sammy, even if just for a few days?
