Chapter 22 — Luke

I woke up later than expected and the only thing on my mind, was where the fuck was I? Then I heard a purr and remembered last night or rather the early hours of this morning, I’d stayed over with April.

Fuck!

This was what got me in trouble in the first place, thinking with my cock and not my head. She opened her eyes to face me as I sat up in the bed ready to make my escape.

“Morning.”

I smiled at her. “Morning.”

Her hair was like a bird’s nest, not the silky smooth tied back hair like she had it yesterday at the barbecue. Now she looked all innocent and sweet as if she’d just woken up from a bad dream.

“Did I wake you?”

She sat up with her breasts fully exposed and I remembered how they felt in my hands all soft and subtle. She was a good size, not too big and not too small, they filled my hands just right and as for those nipples, I could suck on them all day long.

“No. I need to get up, get some breakfast and then I’m meeting the girls for lunch.”

I looked up at the antique clock facing the bed. “Well, I think you missed it.”

She shook her head. “No way. What time is it?”

“One.”

“Fuck!” Then she sprung out of bed, no doubt looking for her phone which gave me time to get ready and make my escape.

I hesitated as I thought about where I was going, I could go home instead of staying in the penthouse. Mom said something about popping in sometime today because we hadn’t caught up in a while, which was secret code for her liking April and wanting to know more about her.

Ed for sure was either at the hospital or probably just getting back from the hospital, either way he was working and as for Corey, Sunday’s was usually his day of recuperating from his weekend of working at the bar or club and getting over his hangover from taking a new recruit back to one of his pads. I had a couple of guys I could call, but I didn’t feel like hanging with them and then there was work.

I hated to admit due to April’s hard work, I didn't need to do any. Sure, I could find something to do, but that could be done tomorrow, on Monday. I had nothing going on today and I felt defeated as one minute I felt like leaving, and now all I could do was think but stay with her.

“Great, they’re pissed. I’m late and there’s no way I’m going to get showered, dressed and get there within the next twenty minutes.”

She looked so disappointed as she stood butt naked in front of me and all I wanted to do was fuck her. It was wrong because a few minutes ago, the only thing I was thinking about was leaving. Then she became shy as she realized how I was looking at her.

“We could have a long bath together if you like and spend the day with me. If you’re up for it?”

She smiled as if I’d answered all her prayers, and part of me wondered if she’d missed out on spending time with the Angels on purpose to spend time with me.

“You don’t have somewhere to go?”April asked.

“I do, but I don’t mind hanging with you. If you don’t mind?”

She shook her head. “No, I don’t, but I look a mess and it’s just ...” She walked to the bathroom, no doubt to grab a robe and cover up.

It was clear I had one thing in mind as my cock stood up ready for action.

She returned with a robe on and tied the belt around her waist. “I don’t have many friends. No, I stand corrected I have no friends, and it’s taken me some time to be honest about my situation in L.A. till now. Sure, Hayley would call, and if she had a break, we’ll meet up for coffee, but we’ve done that once in three months. It’s been really great spending time with the women from the office. Having people willing to show me the city. Before all I ever did was job hunt and try and catch a break, which never happened until now.”

“How come?”

“Well, I don’t have a degree, but you’ve seen my resumé, so you know. Everyone wants someone with a degree. Even to walk a dog. Like who would have one to be a dog walker, I’d rather be a vet you know. But, then again you wouldn’t know. I suppose it’s easy for you.”

I frowned. “Why do you think that? Because my parents are rich. No, we have a crazy ritual where we just don’t inherit what’s given to us. I’ve swept floors, cleaned toilets something I wouldn’t recommend to anyone, especially the ladies’ toilets. I’ve tended bars, and done all kinds of odd jobs to get where I am now. Dad gave me a grand and said, go make it son.”

She sat back on the bed, “Yeah, Hayley was telling me you have some unusual family rules. She didn’t say what because we saw Kim and then she was kind of distracted.”

“Yeah, I wasn’t expecting her to be there. Sorry about.”

“No big deal.”

Curious, I asked, “Did Hayley tell you about the non-wedding?”

She nodded, biting her lower lip briefly. “Yes. But really it’s none of my business.”

I had to agree because until now, we’d never really talked, so I didn’t want to get into it. I wanted to know April, I thought about her words in the limo about me being hot and cold and vowed to myself from this moment onward I would do a lot better.

I clapped my hands together. “Are you going to run the bath, or should I?”

She jumped up, “Sure, I’ll clean the bath out and run it.”

“Good.”

She left to go to the bathroom, and I decided to send mom a text. I could always meet up with her tomorrow for lunch or something. What was the point of being a boss if I never took time-off?

The guys said I needed to loosen up and I’m seeing more and more why they called me LW. I could be stiff, and I could have fun when I wanted to. I intended to make this a Sunday April wouldn’t forget. We would go out eventually, but for now, I just wanted to get her soaking wet and to have some more fun with her nipples.
