Luke graduated uni not long ago. His degree was high and he can always have a job if he'd apply. But Andrew, have more plans, he wanted Luke to manage their series of oil companies. The two oldest already declined the offer. Leaving Luke the only hope of the Hemmings.
'Luke son, I want you to take over the company. Please, before you decline, think about it. It'll be a good opportunity to you and the family you'll make.' Andrew said. Without any hesitation, Luke accepted the offer. 'Yeah. Sure. I'll take it.'
Family. When Andrew said that, Calum is the only thing in Luke's mind.
Not even half a year later, Andrew is pushing Luke to date this girl named Arzaylea. She's beautiful in Luke's opinion. But she's just not his type. Not wanting to disappoint his father, Luke agreed.
The news was all over the city, that includes Calum.
Calum wants to talk to Luke and the only way to do it was this. He'd pretend that he don't know the lesson and have Luke to teach him. When Calum don't know anything about his lesson, he would go to Luke to ask for help. Good thing he have like a tutor, he don't want to suffer like Luke did when he was 10 years old. Calum know why he wanted to talk to Luke. Its just not about the whole dating thing. Its about them. He wanted to tell Luke what he really feel about him. He doubted his feelings when he was fifteen. But now, After 3 years, he realized that he love Luke, which is a bad time because the sudden news just came out.
Calum knocked on the door twice, Luke opened the door and greeted him a hi. 'Uh, I was wondering if you could teach me about a lesson in calculus.' Calum said nervously. 'I'm sorry Cal but I have a date today. You've got a wrong timing.' Luke said. 'Oh. That's okay. I'll just ask someone to teach this to me. Have a nice day with your girlfriend. Bye.' Calum quickly said and left.
He wants to cry but he can't. He doesn't have a right to. First of all, Luke wasn't his. And second, he's taken.
Calum got his phone and dialled a number.
'Hello Cal?' The voice said.
'Hi. Do you think you can come over?'
