Meant To Be...

MIKAYLA POV

How do I even begin to explain the emotions that are going wild in my heart right now? I do not know how Luke has such a hold on me as I have not even had the chance to talk a few words with him yet. But now sitting next to me is a man that I know for almost two years and it feels as if I do not want to know him.

The moment that I lost sight of Luke my heart plunged into despair as I really wanted to spend time with him tonight. It's like he is a drug to me and now I'm sitting in rehab with Dr. Gerhard next to me.

"I saw you across the room and I thought I'll come and say hello?"

He thought he was going to say hello? That is such bullshit he is here because he followed me. He is here to ruin my night.

"Do you come here often?"

I watch as he avoids my eye contact and starts playing with the peanuts on the bar.

"Well, not very often but sometimes, yes"

"…and I guess tonight was one of the sometimes?"

Then he looks at me with a frown and a question in his eyes.

"I am sorry did I do something wrong?"

He is right I can not take my anger out on him but I can also not deal with them right now. He needs to go or I need to go but I can not deal with this. So, I decide to stand up, take my purse, and then look him in his eyes.

"No, there is nothing wrong. I just need to go now. I am sorry"

I walk as fast as I can out of the cafe and I can not help as my heart hopes to see Luke still maybe standing outside. But as I open the doors there is no one. I feel heartbroken in some way or the other, not really knowing what is going on with my emotions.

I do not know the guy and I am acting like he just broke up with me. I don't know what I'm going to do but this is getting toxic. I pull my jacket closer to my body as the coldness of the winter is about to set in.

I take a deep breath and let it out again looking at how it plays in the icy air. I need to get a hold of myself. I can not let a man change everything that I am in a blink of an eye. I then start to walk towards my house as I love to walk outside when it is this cold. It makes me feel alive.

LUKE POV

How could I have been such a fool? How did I not see this coming? I should have known that she has someone. Why would she not have someone? She is so exquisite in every way that no man would be able to resist her.

As I walk through the streets aimlessly I remember the words of my doctor. "You should not walk long distances, Luke, your heart just can not handle it." But I can not help it as my mind is full of thoughts of this woman and nothing else seems to be important.

Then suddenly I realized that I have no idea where I am. I have been walking for ten minutes in circles, in a direction that took me to somewhere, I've never been. I then decide to do the right thing and get myself a cab.

As I am just about to get into the cab, I see an angel walking down the road. I wondered to myself am I going to give up that easily or am I going to try and win her heart. She has not noticed me yet so I still have the opportunity to get away or do I want to stay?

I do not like to mess in somebody's relationship but I just want to talk with her, even if it's for the last time. I tell the cab to go and find himself another passenger as I would rather spend a few more minutes with this beautiful woman.

I can see that she is not focusing on the people around her as she is just staring at the floor and where she is walking. She is just about to pass me when I say.

"You look like someone that can use some company?"

MIKAYLA POV

I hear the most handsome voice that has consumed my mind for these past few days and as I look up into his piercing blue eyes, I know that everything I just thought about getting my head back on straight is not going to happen anytime soon.

"Luke?"

"Yes, that's me. Seems we were meant to meet each other tonight?"

I can not help but smile at his words and then shyly asks this question.

"Meant to? Why would you say that?"

"Because, Mikayla, we ran into each other twice tonight. So, I ask you again would you like some company?"

My heart starts to beat irregularly and I feel my pulse increasing as the way that he just asks me if I want company, shot pure desire to my core. I swallow deeply as I answer him.

"I would not mind the company…"

I watch as a shade of red attacked his cheeks but he tries to hide it from me. He takes his hand and rubs over his cheek as if he just does it usually.

"So, where are we off to?"

"I was on my way home. Thank you, for the drink, by the way"

"It was only my pleasure. I am sorry if I interfere with your relationship"

I look at him with a frown on my face and ask him.

"My relationship? What do you mean?"

He looks down at his feet and I can see this is an uncomfortable conversation for him.

"You know, with your boyfriend? The guy sitting next to you at the bar?"

I can not help but laugh at the thought that I and Dr Gehard could ever have a relationship and that he could be my boyfriend. But I do enjoy the fact that there is a hint of jealousy in his voice.

I stop in my tracks and I watch as he also stops. Then I look straight into his eyes. For some reason, I am not afraid to tell him this and I make sure that he sees it in my eyes.

"Dr. Gerhard is not my boyfriend..."
