Good for Luke standing up to Lily. Too bad Lily has to only pretend to support Luke *sigh* I know she loves her son, but she is seriously twisted.

I love the texting, the insecurities that they both have is so sweet to see.

I rewrote the Lily part. Originally, I had her just see Luke's point of view and agree to give Reid a chance, but that seemed to out of character to me. LOL

I'm glad that you liked the texting. I love that they are both insecure, I think that that is part of them and adds to the excitement of the beginning of a relationship.

Thanks for reading!!

UGH Lily. *sighs*

I loved that Luke stood up to her though.

Thanks for reading! I really think that being with Reid has given Luke confidence and that is what has allowed him to stand up to Lily.

I'm glad that you liked that line. I just added it in. Initially I was going to have Lily see Luke's point of view, but that seemed out of character for her to me. LOL

Sorry for making you sad. I think that Luke definately has some insecurity and so does Reid. I think that everyone is unsure when they are starting a new relationship, so there is definately more to come. *hides*

"Reid just does not have the politically correct editing button in his brain." I LOVE that! Really excellent way to put it and so true!

Thank-you! Your comment made my day!
BTW I love your icon.

Yes, they're talking, um, texting! Oh, Lily, I want to hate her but I think she'll come around (maybe? hopefully?).

So I know that when he says that he likes me he means it.
I love this rationalization by Luke. Very, very true. And I think Luke won't really ever have to worry about Reid being all wishy-washy like Noah could be at times. Reid will always tell it like it is, especially to Luke.

Another great chapter!

Thanks for reading and all of your encouragement!

Luke doesn't have to worry about Reid being wishy washy so he finds other things to worry about. LOL

I think that Lily will come around too! Originally I did have her accept Reid, but it just seemed to out of character to me. HAHAHA
