…
I walk out of Luke’s bedroom and down the stairs. I awkwardly walk into the kitchen, still embarrassed over what happened just minutes ago. I see Luke and Liz hugging, and I smile at the sight. Luke has really missed his mum. She was only supposed to be gone for a week, but then she kept extending her stay.
Liz sees me and smiles as she pulls away from Luke.


“May! It’s so nice to see you!” She says as she comes over to me and engulfs me in a hug.

“Sorry about before, I should have knocked.” She says quietly, just so that I can hear.

I was really hoping she wasn’t going to mention it. I’m completely mortified that my boyfriend’s mother walked in on us having sex.

“I’m so sorry about um..that.” I say uncomfortably as we pull away from the hug.
I’m not sorry for what we were doing, but i’m just sorry that she had to witness it.
“So what are you doing home, mum?” Luke asks.

“What, not happy to see me?” Liz teases.
“You know I am. I just thought you weren’t going to be home for at least another month.”

“I just decided i’d come home early. I’ve missed you so much, Lukey.” She smiles.
I bite my lip to hold in my giggle at the nickname. I’ve never heard Luke get called that before. From the expression on his face, I can tell he never wanted me to hear him be called that.

“Mom.” He groans.
“Oh, i’m sorry. I’ve just missed you so much!” She says.

Luke and his mother definitely need some time to catch up. I don’t think I should stay around.

“I’m gonna head out. It was so good to see you Liz.” I smile at her.

“You too, dear!”
“I’ll walk you out.” Luke says.
He walks towards me and puts his hand on the small of my back before walking me towards the door.
“I’m surprised your mother doesn’t hate me now.” I say as I lean my head onto Luke’s chest.

“Why would she hate you?”
“Because of what she walked in on…”
Luke chuckles. “May she walked in on us having sex, not you murdering me. She’s not going to hate you for f-----g her son. She already knows you do.”
I roll my eyes. “Just call me later, okay?”
“Can’t I come over?” Luke asks.
“Yeah of course you can. I just thought you’d want to spend time with your mum since you haven’t seen her in months.” I explain.

“I will spend time with her, during the day. I’ll be over tonight, so you and I can finish what we started upstairs.” Luke says, whispering the last part in my ear.
His hot breath on my skin makes me want him even more. But I know I can’t do anything about that right now, unfortunately.

“See you tonight, Lukey.” I tease as I leave the house.
–

“No way!” Cora doubles over in laughter.
“It’s not funny!” I whine.
Once I got home I called Cora and invited her over. Michael’s at Calum’s, and Luke’s with his mum, and I didn’t want to be alone. Which is strange, seeing as I usually just want to be left alone. But Luke changes those kind of things about me. He makes me…happy…… “It’s hilarious! I would die if my boyfriend’s mum walked in on us!” Cora continues with her laughter, but it comes to a halt after she realizes what she said.

Michael didn’t have a mother to walk in. Not anymore.

“I didn’t mean it like-”
“I know you didn’t.”
I know Cora would never intentionally make a joke regarding my mother. Cora tends to use her mouth before she uses her brain, which usually comes back to bite her in the a-s.
I giggle to break the tension. “You should have seen Liz’s face. She looked traumatized.” I say as I cover my face with my hands.

“Did she see―you know, anything?” Cora asks.
“I don’t think so. Luke flipped me off of him as soon as she walked in. The sheets were on us.”

Cora looks at me and we both break out into fits of laughter. It really was funny if you look at it from a third person point of view.
The door opens and in walks Michael and Calum.

“What are you two laughing at?” Michael asks as him and Calum kick off their shoes.
“Liz walked in on her and Luke having sex!” Cora laughs, then slaps her hand over her mouth.

Once again, Cora uses her mouth before her brain. She literally just told my brother about his sister and best friend having sex. If it is possible to be more embarrassed and uncomfortable than I was when Liz walked in, it’s now.

Calum breaks out into laughter and Michael just stares at me. I look at him with a worried expression. Mainly because I can’t decipher his. Just then he breaks into a fit of laughter, which I am completely taken back by.
“That’s hilarious, embarrassing, and disgusting for me to think about.” He laughs.

That was not the reaction I was expecting―at all. I guess he really has come to accept all of this. It’s nice to see such a change in Michael. Not only regarding Luke and I, but it’s just nice to see him..happy. Especially after everything that happened lately.
“It’s not funny guys!” I whine again.
I hope Luke doesn’t get embarrassed about all of his friends knowing. But knowing Luke, he won’t be embarrassed in the slightest. Luke tells his friends everything. They really are his family.

“If it makes you feel any better, my teacher walked in on a girl giving me head in a bathroom stall once. The door was closed though.” Calum laughs, as does everyone else.

“Your teacher?!” I ask in shock.
“Yeah. She said she heard m0an!ng when she was walking by. I can’t believe I forgot to lock the door.” Calum laughs as he shakes his head.

“As funny as that is, it doesn’t make me feel any bit better. My boyfriend’s mother walked in on us. His mother!”
“Yeah you’re right. You win for most embarrassing sexual interruption.” Calum laughs.

Michael crinkles his nose in disgust, or uncomfortableness.

“Can we please talk about something other than my sister and best friend’s sex life?”
“S--t, right. For a second I forgot she was your sister.” Calum laughs.
“Where is Luke anyways?” Michael asks.
“He’s at his house. Him and Liz need some catching up time.” I explain.
“I need to go over! I haven’t seen her in months!”

It’s sweet how much Michael loves Luke’s family. Michael and Luke really are brothers. Even if not by blood, they’re family. I’m glad Michael and Liz get along so well too, Michael needs a mother type figure in his life. I wonder if Liz knows about our mum.
“She just got back and Luke hasn’t seen her for months either. Go over tomorrow.” I giggle.
“Okay, fine.” Michael says. “Calum and I are gonna go play some video games, wanna come?”
I shake my head.

“Don’t be boring. Come on!” Calum says.
“I’m comfortable on the couch.” I complain.
Michael holds up his pointer finger. “One sec.” He says before going into his room.
He comes back moments later with his playstation and the controllers.
“We’ll play out here then.” He says as he sets his playstation down on the tv stand. He plugs the playstation into the back of the tv and sets up the game.
“Alright what are the teams?” Calum asks.
“Me and May versus you and Cora.” Michael says.

“Fine, we’re gonna win!” Cora laughs.
“I wouldn’t be so sure. You know how good I am at cod, but you’ve never seen May play.” Michael says.
I turn to Michael and fake sob. “That may be the nicest thing you’ve ever said about me.”

Everyone laughs as we start up the game.
Ten minutes into the game, the boys have gone completely ballistic. Michael gets really into his video games and tends to shout at the tv, Calum does the same so i’ve learned. Just then, I hear a knock at the door.
“Leave it!” Michael says.
“No.” I laugh.
“May you’ll make us lose, don’t get it.” Michael says angrily. He really needs to chill out.
“Michael, the door bell is real life. This game isn’t.” I laugh as I put my controller onto the coffee table as I stand up and walk towards the door.

I open it up to see Luke.
“Hey, babe! I didn’t realize you were coming this early. We’re playing Call of Duty, come in!” I smile.
But he doesn’t. He just stands there. His face is completely expressionless, and it looks like all colour has been drained. He has never been so pale before. My heart starts to beat fast.

“Luke…what’s wrong?” I ask nervously, almost scared to hear his answer. Luke is never like this. He’s always so happy and upbeat.

He doesn’t answer. He just stares at me.
I take his hands in my mine and move closer.
“Hey, Luke. What’s wrong? Talk to me!” I say.

“I’m moving.” He says……….
