654: ONCE HAD A TIME

ARIEL'S POV "Luke, what are you doing here?" I whispered, closing the door behind us. "You don't have to worry about anything. I didn't come here for you; I came for Jack," he told me. "Jack? What? Hold on, that's crazy. This is my house." "Oh wow, I didn't know that." Luke's tone was sarcastic. "You should leave now." "Why should I?" "Because I don't want you coming back into my life," I responded. "Sorry, but like I've told you, I came here for Jack." "Well, you can talk to this Jack somewhere else. There is no way I'm letting you step foot inside my house." "Why not?" "Why not?" I repeated his question. "Are you seriously asking me that?" He shrugged. "Well, yes, I am." "Ariel, I know we're divorced, and I respect your decision; you not wanting us to be together anymore. But, you need to understand that I came here for Jack, he invited me. You don't have to worry about anything. I won't try to touch you, I won't try to talk to you, I'll just be Jack's friend in this one
