➳ Chapter 22

➳ Alaina's POV

All week I've heard people talk about Valentines day and I'm so tired of it. I get it's a day for people that love each other and is a day that they can put that love out on display, but for the lonely it's just a reminder of how lonely they are.

I'm not saying I'm lonely or anything, but me and Luke aren't official or anything. We are just getting to know each other more before we decide anything. Luke had earned my trust back within the past week.

Luke said that he had to do something today, so I guess I was stuck at home by myself all day.

I guess today is going to consist of me watching Gossip Girl and eating junk food all day.

Valentines Day really isn't my day.

-------

As I had just finished an episode of Gossip Girl my parents came into my room. They were both dressed in formal clothes. That wasn't really unusual though since it seems like they are always gone.

"We are going to go out since it's Valentines Day. Are you going to be fine being home by yourself?" My dad asked with a sympathetic expression.

I sent him a small smile, "I'm gonna be fine. I hope you have fun."

My parents came over towards me and each gave me a kiss on the top of my head. I watched as my dad opened the door for my mother and headed out. I watched out the window.

My dad led my mother to the car with his hand on her lower back. Just as my dad opened the door of the car for my mother, she turned around and they shared a passionate kiss. It was amazing how love can last as long as theirs. They are so in love. I just hope that I can love someone as much as they love each other.

------

The doorbell rang. I slowly dragged myself to the door. After watching so many episodes of a show, you can't help, but want to be lazy all day.

I opened the door to see Luke. He was in pajamas.

"Hello?" I looked down to see him wearing doggy slippers.

"Oh, hey." He walked into the house and threw himself onto my couch.

He sure is making himself at home.

"No offense or anything, but why are you here?" I asked, sitting down beside Luke.

"We are spending Valentines Day together. I mean it makes sense that two single people should come together on the day of love." Luke explained.

"Okay, so what are these two single people going to do on the day of love?" I couldn't help, but laugh at how ridiculous that sounded.

"The date jar." Luke said, grabbing a jar that was beside him.

I didn't even notice he brung a jar?

"What's a date jar?" I grabbed the jar and examined it.

"I wrote on Popsicle sticks about thirty different date ideas. You're going to pick one and we are going to do whatever it says. Now close your eyes and pick one." Luke explained while opening the jar.

He held it out for me.

I closed my eyes and picked a random Popsicle stick.

"Popcorn and Chick Flick." I read aloud

"Okay, popcorn and Chick Flick. Now let's start our date." Luke got up and went into my kitchen.

"So, we are having a date?" I teased with a smirk.
