Olivia woke up Sunday morning feeling groggy. She had brought a bottle of liquor to band practice the night before and they all got tipsy as they played their instruments. After rehearsal, Luke and Olivia walked back to his house because they were incapable of driving and his house was closer. Once they got to his house, they stumbled through the living room, trying to not make any noise. When they got to Luke's room they both let out a sigh of relief as they successfully made it to the room without getting caught. They made out for a while and then had sloppy sex before passing out at 4 in the morning.
"Mmm, good morning, milady," Luke says in a deep, scratchy voice before pressing his lips to Olivia's bare shoulder. "Today is our day. We've got to get up so we can do as much as possible. Can't waste any time, baby." His lips moved up to her neck and he sucked softly resulting in a heavy exhale from the girl.
"Let's just stay here and sleep a little longer." She flips onto her back and smiles softly at the boy with her eyes half-open.
"Nope, we've got to go get coffee and start the day. It's already 9 o'clock, we can't give up any more time." He pulls himself off the bed and looks down at the girl, still splayed out on the bed. "Come on baby, let go take a shower." He whispers next to her ear and she hops up quickly and grabs his hand, pulling him to the en suite bathroom.
After a hot shower, the two returned to Luke's room and got dressed. Olivia wore a pair of tights under a pair of shorts with one of Luke's cut-up band tees and one of Luke's flannels slung over her shoulders. Luke wore a classic pair of black skinny jeans, a band tee, and a flannel.
"You ready to get some coffee and actually wake up?" Luke wraps his arms around Olivia and begins swaying them back and forth.
"Uh, I think that shower woke me up, but I'll totally take some coffee right now." She places her hand on his chest before standing on her tiptoes and gently kisses his lips. "It's 10, we should probably get out of here." The girl looks at the clock on the wall behind the boy.
"Okay then, let's go." Luke takes her hand and grabs his guitar case. Olivia grabs her backpack and the two leave Luke's room, heading down the stairs and into the living room where Emily and Mitch are currently at.
"Glad to know you two got in safe last night. I was starting to get concerned. Luke, you know you can call us from Alex's house to let us know you are going to be late. And where's the truck at?" Emily stands up from her chair and walks over to the couple.
"I would have called you, but we weren't expecting to be so late. And by the time I realized how late it was, you guys would have already gone to bed. And I left the truck at Alex's house, it needed to be jumped and we didn't want to wake up Alex's parents so we just walked home." Luke makes up the lie on the spot, effortlessly.
"Okay, thank you for letting me know. So, where are you two off to?" Emily questions before sipping her tea.
"Well, first we're gonna go pick up the truck, then we're gonna get some coffee and spend the day together. Luke apparently has some surprise date planned for us." Olivia smiles at the older woman.
