What A Small World - Julie and The Phantoms - Reggie

Chapter 30 - The Feeling

"I'm guessing that worked then." Alex said standing from behind his drum kit looking over at Luke and Julie who didn't seem to be paying any attention to him what so ever. 

Julie stepped closer to Luke watching his eyes the whole time as they never left her. 

Ever time he looked at her was like the first time for him, well not the first time when she was screaming at them, but the first time he saw her play. She was beautiful to him but it wasn't just that. 

It was her talent, her raw awesomeness. He couldn't keep trying to pretend he didn't like her anymore. Everyone was right they did oozes chemistry. 

Alex shuffled his feet before deciding he should probably leave them on their own. He didn't say anything, he didn't want to ruin the moment, and walk out to disturb the other love birds instead.

"Luke I...That was." She laughed as he flung his guitar off and put it on the stand. He stepped forward and grabbed one of her hands, looking down at them entwined. 

"Remember when we couldn't do this?" She nodded her head at him as they both looked back up at each other. "Julie I...what I mean is."

"We're not very good at this are we? They make it look so easy." They both seemed to take a deep breathe together. They both had the same thoughts, they both knew they wanted to tell each other but either of them had the right words. 

He picked up her other hand and took a step closer to her never looking away from her eyes. 

"Julie, I kinda suck at this, I guess that's why I find it easier to write you a song, but I think you know what I want to say." He really wished he was better at this in that moment. How was it fair that he could have this girl stood in front of him who he cared about more than anything and he just couldn't find the right words to tell her. "I like you Julie, like a lot, I don't think I've ever really felt this way for anyone ever." Liv's word vomit was contagious he thought. 

She couldn't stop herself from smiling at him, she couldn't believe he'd actually say it, she was also a little shocked. "I like you too." She squeezed both his hands making him smile down at her. "But I'm just a little nervous I guess, I've ever really done this before." She looked backed down at their hands. 

"We'll go as slow as you want Julie." He left go of one of her hands and lifted her chin so she was looking at him again. As long as he had her he didn't really need anything else and the way she looked at him that was all he ever wanted. "I will be 17 for a while." He joked.

She slapped his arm playfully laughing at him. "That's not helping Lucas!" 

He pulled her in for a hug feeling her hands wrap around his waist. "Sorry. Guess we should go out check on the others." 

She pulled out of his arms grabbing his hand and walking towards to the studio doors. 

"Alright love birds at least we know that work." Olivia and Reggie both heard Alex say from the door way of the studio as he twirled his sticks in his hand. 

They both backed away from each other just a little bit, as she looked down at her shoes a little embarrassed. 

"Am I going to have to write a song for you each time I mess up?" Reggie said looking at their intwined hands and then back up to her eyes again, a small smile on his face.

"I'd suggest not messing up too often." Alex said making her laugh and Reggie blush. She could always count on Alex having her back.

But before she could say anything else she heard a familiar poof noise behind her and as she turned around she saw a bright flash as an in pain Willie landed in the garden, or on the floor to be more precise
