Extra Special

LUKE

I am standing here with a woman holding me tight that I do not want to. I do not know how I am going to get out of this but I know it might be a bit of a challenge. I know I promised my grandpa that I would do what I can but this is just too much for me.

I will talk to Penny and I will be nice but I do not want her to touch me. I never like people touching me without my consent. I guess that is thanks to my dad. I always see him cringed when someone would touch him with only a handshake.

I pull her away from me and then put my fake smile on my face while I say.

"Penny, how can I even try to disappoint you?"

I see Mike in the corner of my eyes and I know that he does not understand what I am saying now. When we were in school I would easily dismiss Penny and not even think twice to be nice to her.

"Such a gentleman. Please come and let me get your names for you"
