Chapter 9

Reid had been so engrossed in Luke that he had no idea how long Alec had even been standing there.

“I hope I’m not intruding,” said Alec.  It took all Reid’s will power to refrain from saying, “Of course you do.”

“Who’s your friend?” asked Alec.

Oh Christ, he’s going to try to pretend he doesn’t

Thanks for reading and commenting! Luke will come up with a plan ASAP.

Thank you for commenting! I agree; in the end, Luke is pretty selfless if he thinks something would make Reid truly happy. Hopefully, it won't come to that.

I'm glad you like the Alec encounter. At first, I thought about making Luke rather jealous, but then I decided it might be more fun for him to handle it really really well and then completely lose his mind later in the conversation.

I am so proud of Luke for standing up to Alec and to Reid. Reid should definitely be apprehensive about determined!Luke. I can't wait to see how Luke will get him to Oakdale.

Luke, seeming completely unperturbed, divulged, “So, a couple of years ago, I tried dating a few jerks. I thought that maybe that was my ‘type.’ No offense. Casey called it my ‘Great Crusade to Get Some Asses.’ It turns out none of them were you so it didn’t work out. One of the dates was so bad that I had Casey show up pretending to be my jealous boyfriend.

Bwahahaha!

Thank you for reading and commenting! Reid should definitely be worried.

Glad you thought the dating jerks/Casey reference was funny--I wasn't sure if it would pay off or not.

Loved it! The interaction was great and makes me as apprehensive as Reid to see what Luke will do next. Yeah!
