Rebekah listened carefully as Luke spoke about his family and gave her a little insight into who he really was. Her heart lurched when he spoke of his father moving around a lot when he was younger, and then again when she heard his parents kicked him out. Listen to him talk about having to get a flat and a job to fend for himself. In a way it was amazing just how similar their situations actually were.
"I'm sorry to hear that Luke" Rebekah said, as she continued to swing her arms around and play with her hair. "Sounds like you had almost a tough time of childhood as I did" she added, as she thought back to the day when her parents were killed in the car crash.
Then Luke took a hold of one of her hands, which made Rebekah smile a lot. Her eyes were sparkling making the smile look even prettier. Her other hand automatically stopped swinging around as well. It made Rebekah feel more at ease.
"Well, since you've told me more about you, would you like to know more about me?" Rebekah asked as she looked at him, and really began to take in his chiselled features. He really was quite handsome in a rugged sort of way.

Luke looked at Rebekah, smiling as she said she was sorry about what had happened to him when he was younger. He was happy about ending up in California, after all he had managed to meet Rebekah there. Then she mentioned something about herself having a tough time growing up.
He was just about to ask her about this, when she asked him if he wanted to know more about her. “Yeah, of course.” He said, after all right now he felt like he could probably stay here forever, and not care, he found Rebekah that pretty. He kept staring into her eyes as he spoke. “How’s your life been so far then?”

Rebekah was enjoying the company of Luke. He was nice to her, and he had a wonderful smile. His eyes were very sexy looking too, she was finding it difficult to keep her eyes off of him. It was almost as if he was addictive, like he had some sort of hold on her or something. Then she shook her head and began to laugh to herself. Don't so silly Rebekah, you've been reading too many romantic vampire novels she thought to herself.
She was glad to hear he wanted to know about her life, not that it was anything special, and in fact at times quite tough to talk about. But she would talk about it anyway. "Thanks" she replied when he said he wanted to hear.
"Well, my parents were killed in a car crash when I was five, and I got shipped from foster family to foster family. Nobody wanted me, my ability seemed to scare them. When I was fifteen I finally found a family who loved me for me, sadly the were cruelly taken away from me when they were murdered. I've more or less been on my own all of my life" Rebekah explained sadly, giving him a weak smile, and looking down at her hand linked in his and biting down on her lip, and hearing Henry's voice in her head, don't cry, I hate when girls cry.
Henry was her best friend and like surrogate brother, and she desperately didn't want to cry, but the idea of being alone all of her life wasn't easy to think about.

Luke kept listening to her, like he was transfixed. He felt sorry for Rebekah, and the life that she had lead so far, it was definitely worse than the one he had had. It was a bit strange too, that both of them had lead terrible lives so far, yet at the minute were both just smiling at each other. Then her smile seemed to fade slightly when she was talking about how she had been alone for most of her life.
Luke wanted to comfort her, but couldn’t seem to know how. After what had been less than a second, be gave up, giving Rebekah a hug to try and make her feel better. It had been the only thing that had come to his mind at that point.
“It’s OK.” He could hear himself saying. “You can cry a bit if you want to.” Where had he come up with that from? In all honesty he had no idea whatsoever, but it had sounded good anyway so he was just going to stick with it.

Rebekah hadn't meant to get so upset at telling Luke about her parents death, but she had. She had tried not to cry, and so far she had just about managed it, but when Luke pulled her into a hug, she struggled to keep her cool, as she could feel herself beginning to crumble slightly. When he pulled her into the hug, she instinctively put her arms around his neck without even realising what she was doing.
When Luke then said she could cry if she wanted to, that was the final straw, and she couldn't keep it in any longer, as she did crumble, and the tears began to fall. It was the first time Rebekah had cried since the first day she'd met Henry, and it was like all those months of bottled up emotions over James, Wes, the attacks all came to the fore and it all came out in her tears as she sobbed on poor Luke's shoulder as she continued to keep her arms around his neck in the hug he had given her.
After about five minutes of heavy sobbing on Luke's shoulder, she began to feel herself calm down and was finally able to stop, or at least to stop crying so much so she could at least smile again and talk. Breaking free from the hug gently, she immediately took his hand in her own and interlocked her fingers with his own.
"Thank you Luke, I really needed to do that I think" she said softly, but giving him a warm smile. "I hate being alone, I've always been alone, even when I met James and Wes, it went nowhere, I've got my best friend Henry whose like a brother, but he lives in New York, so I seldom see him" she spurted out. She had stopped crying by now, "Damn, I must look a mess" she said as she turned her face away from his and looked down at her feet afraid to look at him.

Luke stood there while Rebekah cried, slightly unsure of what to do. Luke’s life had been pretty bad, but he had never really felt like crying about it. All he could really do was stand there, hugging her until she finished. Then she finally did, saying that she must look a mess and looked away from him.
“I don’t think that you’re a mess.” Luke said, saying it in a quiet, and soft voice. “I think that your beautiful.” Then he stopped, where had that come for? It had really been the only thing that he could think of at the minute, and at the same time he felt slightly stupid for saying it. Why? Why should he feel stupid for something that he had meant to say?

Rebekah stood with her face looking away from Luke, as she she tried to wipe her eyes some more, and hopefully try to get rid of the redness around them, and probably the black mascara which had no doubt ran with her tears. But as she continued to look down at her feet, she heard Luke saying she didn't look a mess. She smiled slightly, and biting down on her bottom lip, she turned to face him again.
She smiled. "You don't?" she asked, and then he had followed it with saying he thought she was beautiful. She blushed then. Only one other person had said she was beautiful, and that was Ryan her brother like figure. No guys had ever said it to her before, not like this anyway. She sniffed, finally over her tears. "That is the most sweetest thing a guy has ever said to me other than my surrogate brother" Rebekah replied.
"Did I tell I almost died as well?" she asked sadly, not sure why she had even brought that up with him, but since nowhere was open yet, and they were alone, she thought she might as well tell him pretty much everything there was to know about herself.

Luke smiled, knowing that he had managed to make Rebekah feel slightly better. Then she went on to talk about how she nearly died. “No,” he said, “How did that happen?” There was some genuine concern in his voice, after all if someone was trying to kill her or something, then he wanted to hear about it.
Nowhere was open yet, and it wouldn’t be for a while, so Luke just kept standing where he was. He tried to work it out in his head, trying to work out what time it really was here, but couldn’t. He had never really paid much attention at school, and had never really learned anything either.

So she hadn't mentioned about the attacks. She had spoken so much since she had bumped into him, she wasn't sure what she had or hadn't told him. She sighed and took in a deep breath before continuing.
"Well it all started back in October when I got attacked by somebody and I was so scared I phased him into a wall and killed him" Rebekah said and then looked at her feet. Remembering Henry's voice telling her she had done the right thing under the circumstances. "I didn't mean to kill him and I wasn't impressed with myself" she continued, "but I was fearing for my safety and life" she took another deep breath and looked at him to see if she could pick up any sort of reaction from him, but she couldn't.
"I guess he had a few friends, and they came after me again one night in my little apartment, my so called boyfriend at the time helped to take one of them out, I thought that was the end of it, but a couple of weeks ago I got attacked again, not only by the guys who had attacked me in the first place, but also a teacher. If it weren't for Henry I don't know what would have happened. I ended up in hospital with a punctured lung and several lacerations to my chest and stomach and a nasty gash in my the side of my head" Rebekah explained. She sighed gently again and once again began to mess with her hair with her spare hand.
"I'm going to be moving to New York to live with my adopted brother Ryan soon, he wants to look after me more" she said, and that's when it hit her, that she might not see him again. Then realised how stupid that sounded, he had the ability to teleport anywhere, he could visit her if he wanted to. Slowly and softly without wanting to sound too forward she said, "Would I still be able to see you?" looking down again scared to look up at him again, what if he wasn't interested or thought she had been too forward by asking that question.

Luke listened, slightly horrified at what he was hearing. He couldn’t believe that anyone could even want to hurt Rebekah, she just seemed too nice. He was however slightly disturbed by the fact that she had killed someone by phasing them, but he would have to understand. She had been getting attacked.
Then she moved on to talking about talking about moving, and whether or not she could still see him anymore. “Of course you can.” He said, Luke could teleport after all, and there would be no point in having an ability if he wasn’t going to use it, after all he liked spending time with Rebekah, and it would be quite stupid for him if he didn’t see her again.

Rebekah felt terrible about telling him she killed somebody. She really hadn't meant to do it, but it was pure self defense and not something she planned on doing again anytime soon. Besides, with Henry, Ryan and if Luke was a possibility of being in her life, then she wouldn't have any need to worry about that sort of thing happening again. Biting down on her bottom lip, "I'm not proud of what I done Luke, but if I hadn't, I might very well have been killed" she tried to explain away her actions. Telling someone you basically just met you killed somebody wasn't the best sort of conversation topic.
However Luke had said she could see him again, and that made her happy. She smiled at him, "That's great to hear, because and I know we've only been with each other for about an hour or two, but I'm already enjoying your company, it would be nice to see more of you" she said and looked around, still there didn't seem to be anywhere open. Maybe she should have suggested Australia or somewhere instead. As she had no watch on, she had no idea of the time, but there must be some sign of life soon surely she thought.

Luke listened to Rebekah explain why she had killed the man before, but he really didn’t feel like she should actually be trying to justify herself, he really didn’t see it as being her fault, just as long as she was telling the truth. And since he had no reason at all to distrust her everything was OK. Actually it was better than just OK, he just hoped that he could keep seeing Rebekah.
Then she said that she was happy to hear that he would be able to see her again, and really Luke was happy too. After all he was standing there, in Paris with Rebekah, who was to him at least, one of the most beautiful girls he had seen in his life. “It would be nice to see more of you.” He said.

Rebekah didn't know why she felt she had to explain herself to Luke about why she had done what she had done to the guy, but she just felt that if he could understand that it was in self defense he wouldn't think she was a bad person. Because Rebekah was anything but a bad person. Alright she might have a bit of a fiery temper and be very protective of her friends to the point of making it known if they messed with her friends they messed with her, but really Rebekah was a lovely girl with a heart of gold. Anybody who took the time to get to know her would realise that, but she was tough as well, her sad life had made her tough.
Rebekah felt herself blush when Luke said it would be nice to see more of her, she was glad to hear that. She gave him a warm smile, "That's good to hear, because I'd love to see more of you" she replied in a warm voice. She didn't really know what to do now, the last time she had met a guy random like this they had kissed fairly quickly, but she didn't want to make the move, but she wouldn't have said no, there was just something very nice about him, and from what she could see there was a definite attraction and spark between them.
"So, do you think we'll actually find somewhere to go? Or does just walking along one of the most romantic cities in the world sound good enough to you?" she asked as she gently squeezed his hand which was still in her own.

Luke continued to stand where he was, gazing into Rebekah’s eyes as she spoke. He felt no need to move, no real need to do anything except stay where he was. Then she asked if they would actually end up going anywhere, which when he was completely honest he had just simply forgotten about. Maybe he should find somewhere to go, if he could. Besides he could hardly speak French, or any other language other than his own for that matter.
“Anything’s good for me.” He said, smiling kindly. “Just whatever you want to do.” Maybe he was giving her too many choices, was he? Would she like him being so indecisive, and not making any choices? He slipped his arm around her waist, waiting to see what she would want to say.

Rebekah felt her skin tingle when Luke put his arm around her waist, but it was a nice feeling she realised and she liked it, it made her smile, and it actually made her forget all about her past problems. Now it was time to look forward to the future she thought as she stared into Luke's mesmerising eyes.
When she had asked about whether they were actually going to go anywhere, she hadn't meant for it to sound rude, in fact Rebekah found she didn't really care if they just ended up standing staring at each other. It was all rather romantic in a way.
So he was leaving the decision up to her, well right now she didn't even feel like eating, her stomach was doing butterflies, something it hadn't done for a very long time. So food wasn't on the agenda right at this minute. The only other thing she could think of was Euro Disney, she knew it would have to be around somewhere.
"Let's just go for a walk" she settled on for the time being, "See where it takes us" she added, if it lead them to Euro Disney, being the young kid at heart she could be, she wouldn't say no to having some fun there.
