Josie gave a little shrug, "Well, most guys I know get a little squeamish around a girl crying. Mostly because they think we use it for evil, basically to get our way...which is true sometimes. Not now of course. I mean what could I gain from crying over my brother to you. Well...unless you offered to beat him up, but I know you wouldn't also we may be in a fight but anyone hurts my brother I end them." She snuggled into his chest a bit more, "Lexie certainly did."
"I'm not saying it's not okay Luke, it's just I'm scared for him. I mean he was so hurt when Lexie hooked up with David. Now I knew that was going to happen someday. She's much too old for him," she paused as she met Luke's eyes again, "But I mean once he gets over her completely and moves on that is going to happen again and again. I mean no girl wants a guy who stays inside all the time, girls want to go out with someone who goes outside when they don't absolutely have to. And I just don't want him to get hurt over and over again, he doesn't deserve that." Josie leaned her head on his chest again and started absent mindedly running her index finger over his chest and stomach. While tonight she wasn't really in the mood for Luke to "make her forget" her resolve was slowly breaking and she started maybe wanting to stop talking and get lost with him for the night.
Josie met Luke's eyes at his last statement. She was really grateful he was here. He was too good to her, much better with some friends, without benefits, that she had. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips as a sign of gratitude.
