Book of Luke (Book 2) by Chrissy Favreau Read Free Book Online

DiCaprio is way hotter!”
    Tweezer frowned. “Hotter? Than whom ?”
    “The Romeo in this book,” I said, holding up
the cover. “This guy is gross! I wouldn’t die for him!”
    I bit my tongue so I can stop before
Tweezer’s stares get any weirder. People couldn’t stop
laughing.
    “Like, oh my God I totally agree!”
Jenna exclaimed, chatting to her slutty new redheaded, green-eyed
friend, Karma. “Leo DiCaprio is like, almost as hot as Adonia’s
boyfriend!”
    Tweezer sighed and pointed to Jake, who had
his hand up in the back.
    “Juliet’s got a nice rack, though,” Jake
announced, pointing to her boobs on the cover. All the guys closed
their books and started evaluating.
    After a brief glance at the cover himself,
Tweezer’s head fell into his hands. “How about we just… move on?”
He went and wrote a writing prompt on the board.
    I looked around awkwardly. Then I looked at
Luke. He blew me a kiss and winked. After a moment he sat up in his
seat, wrapped an arm around me and whispered,
    “You’re perfect.”

    I didn’t expect to see Gino by my locker after
class. He wore cool, baggy blue jeans, a navy tee shirt and his
black leather jacket. I tried not to check him out. Not only
because he was my best friend’s—boyfriend?—but because I’m taken,
and my boyfriend was watching.
    Luke stopped in his tracks about ten feet
away, clearly not wanting to confront him. He actually looked like
he wanted to beat his ass.
    I looked at Luke reassuringly before leaving
his side. I stopped short of Gino and looked up at him. “Hey,” I
said softly. “What’s going on?”
    Like I didn’t know.
    “If I ask you something,” he said in a low,
sexy voice, “will you give me an honest answer?” He looked at Luke
warily.
    “That depends on the question,” I wanted to
say.
    My breath caught in my throat. “What kind of
question?” I didn’t want to say yes , because I didn’t want
to completely lie to him.
    He’s way too cute.
    He leaned on the locker and our eyes locked.
Seriously, just seeing that look in his eyes made me want to
break down and spill. “Did she cheat on me?”
    “What?!” I shrieked.
    “Did she cheat on me? Tell me the
truth.”
    “Why in the world would she cheat on
you?”
    “The last time I slept with her was just
before Thanksgiving. She just found out she’s pregnant in
mid-February? That’s like, three months. It takes three weeks to
skip a menstrual cycle, right? Something ain’t right.”
    “She didn’t sleep with you since November?! ”
    He looked around, as a few people were
staring. “We don’t get much privacy.” He glanced at Luke. “That’s
why I dumped her. Not ‘cause I’m an irresponsible prick, but ‘cause
I’m ninety-nine percent sure she’s cheatin’ on me.” He knitted his
eyebrows. “So?”
    “Gino,” I breathed, so tempted to
just tell him. I bit my tongue for a moment, choosing my words
carefully, because my heart was racing. “Lilly loves you. I can
assure you with no uncertainty that she did not cheat on you.”
    He looked down. “The delay, what’s up with
that? I mean, how could she be pregnant for months and not
know?”
    “I’m sure there’s an explanation,” I
uttered.
    And that explanation is that she’s lying.
    “Trust me,” I continued. “She would never cheat on you. She’s devastated.”
    He nodded. “I just need to go to college,
you know? And I can’t afford to raise a kid, let alone one that’s
not mine.”
    I gripped his arm. “Seriously! Don’t even worry about it!” That’s the closest I could get to the
truth, without telling the truth.
    “I love her a lot, you know? I hate lookin’
like an asshole.” He looked about thoughtfully. “I’m a good guy,
I’d like to think.”
    “You’re an awesome guy,” I said
faintly. “She’s lucky to have you.”
    He bit his lip. “I guess I’ll tell my ma
tonight.”
    My. Heart. Stopped.
    Gino waved at Luke. “Can I talk to you?”
