Reid just coming out and saying what he's feeling instead of trying to deny it again, thank you GOD! He needs to tell Luke how he feels. The only bad thing is Luke is a bit heisitant but after all that time with our humble barista who can blame him? But, he does know it otherwise he wouldn't have been planting those scorching hot kisses on Reid. DAMN.

Loved the use of their nervous habits re: Luke with his ear and Reid with his finger tapping. Makes it seem so much more real and natural.

Reid gave him his business card??? Ooooooooh, that thing is his lifeline. Wise move, my friend.

I apologize for the late reply...

I think Luke is defintely very aware of Reid's feelings for him, as surprised as he was when he heard Reid's admission. So I don't think he'll keep Reid waiting too long. XD

Also, patience isn't Reid's best event. ;)

I love adding those nervous habits. Because I feel like they'd be like that around each other all the time (in a situation like this, anyway), just a little awkward and nervous and not really knowing what to do with themselves.

Thank you, bb!

Yay! Another chapter! You really had all of Luke's physical movements down so well here. I love their yearning here for each other. Sooo good!

But, hey pal, Luke needs to go to work? Since when? LOL! I want him to stay with Reid!

Loved it!

[alissablue]

LOL, it's totally not like Luke is the boss and can come into work whenever he feels like it... XD

Thank you. ;)

I love the slow torturous build up to the kiss you gave us. You really get in their heads for us.

I've said this before but I really love how you have done so many role reversals and flip flopped the lines from the show. It really makes it an interesting read.

[alissablue]

Thank you! I greatly enjoy using lines from canon in slightly different situations, and I'm happy you're enjoying that as well.

And I love writing their kisses and more intimate moments and the build up to them. And, fortunately, there will be a lot more of that in the rest of the story. ;)

Wonderfully tender, tense and sweet! It made me all tingly! I like that Reid is finally starting to be more honest with Luke.

And I'm with marsabi - Luke has to go to work? Since when! LOL

[alissablue]

Thank you!

Reid will only continue to be more honest with Luke and open up to him. I always loved that about LuRe, how honest they were with each other, so we're going to work on getting them to that place. =)

And, like I told Marsabi: "it's totally not like Luke is the boss and can come into work whenever he feels like it..." :P

Shut up, Luke slaps Reid's face. THAT ENDING WAS TOO CUTE!

This chapter was so intense. That kiss had me holding my breath. Damn! Now that's a kiss. I just love this story so much. I love the progress. Still completely confused about the dreams/memories and how it all fits, but I love that just as much as the story at this point.

Can't wait for the next installment.

I apologize for the incredibly late reply. :(

The little face slap is such a LuRe trademark that I had to include it. ;)

I know how the story will end and how I'm going to make it all fit, but I'm not sure how realistic it'll be, lol. Then again, it's still a soap opera, so whatever happens won't be out of the realm of soap opera possibilities. XD

Real life has kept me very busy these past few weeks, but I'm going to work on finishing the next installment this weekend^^.

Thank you for reading<3!
