Just Kids

THIRTY ONE

I opened my eyes. I must have fallen asleep in Luke's arms. He sounded so cute when he snored a bit in his sleep.

I lifted his arm up slightly and slipped under it to stand up. I kissed him gently on the head and walked to the bathroom.

As soon as I was done peeing, I went into the kitchen to fix Luke some breakfast, but to my dismay, his mom was already there. "Hello. My name is Christina, but I prefer Chris," I smiled.

"Oh, hello, Chris. I'm Antoinette, but you can just call me Toni," she chirped. "Were you going to use the kitchen?"

I nodded and smiled brightly at her. I really don't want to make a bad first impression on who could possibly be my mother-in-law toward the near future. "It's okay, though. You can continue, I was just gonna wait for Luke to wake up anyways."

She motioned for me to sit in the barstool across from her standing position, so I did. She did the same thing that mom does when she wants to know things, putting her elbows on the counter and holding her head in her hands. "I'm really sorry that we haven't made time to meet you before. Luke begged us, but we were too crammed," she explained.

I smiled again. "It's really not a problem. I don't mind it at all."

"So, Chris, do you have any siblings?"

I nodded and tried to hide my hurt due to Kyle. Even though it's been almost two years, it felt like it just happened yesterday and every time it gets brought up, the knife stabs deeper into my heart. "How many?"

I want to tell her two, but I think I would just break into a million tears. "Two-I mean, one," I stuttered.

She looked a bit confused as to why I corrected myself so quickly, but I don't think she felt like asking. Thank God.

"Two? Or just one?"

My eyes grew wider than usual. I guess I have to tell her now. "Zachary and... Kyle..." I drifted off, feeling tears start.

I think Toni wanted to ask about Kyle, but I heard a tired groan come from two feet behind me, Luke's.

I turned around in my chair and smiled. "Good morning, sleepy," I greeted.

"Hey, babe," he replied, kissing me on the cheek.

He sat next to me and rested his head in his arms. He looks so tired. When did we go to bed last night? What even happened?

I rubbed his back with my hand. He sat up immediately due to my freezing cold hands and his bare torso. "Chris!" he groaned.

I laughed and put my hands in my lap. It's amazing to be with him again. I spent three days crying over both Jake and Luke. Although Jake tried talking to me to ease me up, I refused. How could he kiss me, then turn around and sleep with my best friend that's a girl? How could he even expect me to still love him after that? I know he sleeps around and all, but not with Riley. I still want to ask Riley about it and see why she did it, but I have a strong feeling that she'll try to avoid the subject. "Chris," Luke said softly, "Helloo?"

I shook my head and looked up into his soft blue eyes. "Yes?" I asked.

"You zoned out big time. Do you want eggs and sausage?"

I nodded. "Yeah. That sounds really good."

"Okay. In the mean time, come with me," he proposed, holding out his hand for me to grasp.

I linked my fingers with his as he led me upstairs. For some reason, he took me into his room. "Come here," he said.

I sat on his lap and felt his light kisses on my neck. At that moment in time, I didn't let anything stop me or him, so I pulled off my shirt and wrapped my legs around his waist.

I think you can put two and two together on that one.
