Love In Between(46)

You always told me to shine bright

And that I was your shining light.

––––––––

You left a cut so deep in my heart

There’s no escaping who you are

But I’m your daughter, and I’m your star

You left me alone and full of scars.

––––––––

You said you’d always be with me

Even when I needed you most

You’re just a phone call away

Over on the East Coast.

––––––––

I’m done crying now, and I’ve said goodbye I’ll remember you always until I die

I hope you can hear me from wherever you are This song is for you, from your daughter, your star.”

While the people in the bar clapped and whistled, I strummed the last chord. Standing up, I smiled and thanked them as Sam walked up on stage and took Luke’s guitar. He kissed me on the cheek and smiled. Luke got up from the table and stood in the middle of the bar, waiting for me to walk off the stage and into his arms. When I climbed down to meet him, his arms tightly wrapped around me.

“Babe, that was beautiful,” he said. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine, Luke,” I said as I looked up at him.

“I didn’t know you wrote songs; I thought you just sang and played random ones or the ones your father taught you.”

“I write a song here and there.” I smiled.

He cupped my face in his hands and kissed my lips. Gretchen walked up to us, broke our kiss, and hugged me.

“I’ve never heard that song before, Lily. What the f*ck, girl, why didn’t you ever sing it to me?” She started to tear up.

“It’s just a song that I kept to myself.”

“Just a song you kept to yourself? You just sang it in front of a shitload of people!” she exclaimed.

“Consider it my debut.”

Suddenly, our favorite song, Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke, started playing, and Gretchen grabbed my hand, pulling me to the dance floor. We started moving our hips and dancing; then moments later, I felt two hands clasp my waist. As I turned around, Luke was smiling at me, moving his hands up and down my body while dancing to the music. Our bodies kept the same rhythm as we swayed our hips back and forth. As we stared into each other’s eyes while we danced, Luke never stopped smiling, and neither did I. When the song ended, Luke put his arm around me, kissed me, and then led us back to the table. Sam held his hand up for a high five.

“You rocked that song, girl. I’m so proud of you, and I didn’t know you could sing,” he said.

“Thank you, Sam.” I smiled.

Luke sat in his chair and put his arm around me. Scanning the crowd, I saw the two girls that had been at Luke’s apartment, standing in the corner, staring at us. A few moments later, they left the corner and started walking over to our table. I looked at the girl who so graciously gave Luke a blow job and said, “Keep walking.” Then I smiled and threw my beer back. Gretchen spit out her beer, unable to contain her laughter as Luke shook his head.

Barely making it through my apartment door, Luke already had my dress pulled up as he worked on tearing off my thong. Our passionate kiss couldn’t be broken as we were both engrossed in the moment. This time, I pinned Luke up against the door as I unbuttoned his jeans and took them down, along with his boxers. He threw his head back and moaned as I took his hard cock in my mouth. No longer able to control his movements, his hands fisted my hair as my tongue ran around the tip and my hands moved in sync up and down his shaft. His moan grew louder as I started sucking and he moved his hips back and forth.

“Oh god, Lily. I’m going to come!” he exclaimed.

Suddenly, a warm, salty liquid filled my mouth. I’ve never swallowed before. In fact, I never sucked a guy off until they came before. Usually, I stop and finish them off with my hand, but with Luke, I didn’t want to stop. I didn’t know what to do, and I didn’t want to seem rude and ruin the moment by running to the kitchen sink and spitting it out, so I just swallowed it. Luke pulled me up and pushed back my hair.

“You’re unbelievable.” He smiled.

“Correction, you’re unbelievable,” I replied.

He carried me to the bedroom, wrapped me tightly in his arms, and for the first time in over a year, I slept soundly through the night.

I spent more time at Lily’s place than I did my own. Sam and I worked out a system that if I’m staying at Lily’s for the night, then Gretchen would stay at our place. Another morning had come, and Lily was getting ready for work. As I made the coffee, I sent a text message to Sam, asking if he could bring over some eggs. I was in my boxers, so I went into the bedroom and threw on my jeans. Hearing a knock on the door, I left the button and zipper of my jeans undone. I walked over, opened it, and, froze when I saw Charley standing there. She was looking me up and down, noticing I was half-naked. It’s not the first time she’s seen me like this, but it’s the first time this happened at Lily’s.
