Scarlett's P.O.V

"You're being ridiculous Luke" I scold him.

"If being pissed that my brother blatantly flirted with you, in front of me may I add, is ridiculous then yes Scarlett, I am definitely ridiculous" He huffs in response.

With that he storms off in a completely different direction.

Fuck sake

"Luke!" I call after him.

He whips his head around almost instantly, and not patiently waits for me to speak up, which I don't.

What I do, do though, is take his hand in mine, " I only want you" I whisper. Even though hardly anybody else is actually around us. It is literally like a full on empty street.

It's like we're in our own little world, as he leans down to me (Yes, I am quite short,) and softly kisses me. I've never actually experienced heaven, as I am clearly alive right now, but I am almost certain this is what it feels like.

He bites my bottom lip, earning a small moan.

"Damn it, you drive me crazy Scarlett" he mumbles against my hair, leaving small kisses on my forehead, and jaw.

"Feelings mutual" I almost half-whisper.

...

"My mum should be home soon" I say, as I feel Luke become tense beside me.

"Er, yeah ok" He stutters.

As if on cue, I head the front door slam shut downstairs.

"Scarlett" she calls "come and help me with these bags."

I groan, and pull Luke down the stairs with me, as we follow my mum through to the kitchen.

She still doesn't notice us standing there awkwardly, until I clear my throat.

"Mum"

"Yes, honey" She replies, still not turning around.

How rude.

"There's someone's i would like you to meet" I say nervously, as she turns around.

She smirks.

How creepy. I never want to see her do that again.

Ever.

"So, this is your boyfriend" she winks.

Or that.

Jesus mum.

"H-how did you know?" I completely ignore the winking and smirking for a moment.

I have never mentioned Luke to her.

"I can hear your phone calls babe, we have thin walls in this house" wow, that's very awkward. She's heard our phone calls.

Time to crawl away into a cave, until the whole human population has died down, and there can be nobody to embarrass me further.

"Anyway, what's your name?" She asks Luke, who's now more confident than he was 10 minutes ago.

"I'm Luke, it's nice to finally meet you m'am" He says politely, as he shakes her hand so formally.

Well, that's something you don't see everyday. I'm generally shocked.

She returns the gesture, and smiles brightly.

"Call me Lisa honey"

Luke nods.

"Are you staying for dinner?" She asks, trying to make some sort of conversation. Wow, not even my friends get this much politeness from her.

"I wouldn't want to intrude" Luke shakes his head, answering my mums question, as she laughs in response.

"Don't be so stupid" she says before turning around, and carrying in cooking dinner.

Alrighty then.

"Could you give us a minute please, Luke?" I hear my mum ask him.

"Yeah, sure" he walks away awkwardly.

"What was that about" I ask, trying not to sound too confused, although I'm more than confused than a baby when the pop out of, well, you know what.

Do they even get confused? They probably don't know what's happening, so I'll take that as confused.

"Are you sure you're ready for a relationship after him?" Him, meaning Harry. She doesn't say his name often. It's like he shall not be named, off of Harry Potter.

Am I ready?

Of course I am. I mean, what happened was definitely unforgettable, but Luke wouldn't do that.

"I wouldn't be with him if I wasn't sure, Mum" She hardly knows my past with Harry, anyway. Only the small details.

"Okay baby" she kisses the top of my head, "As long as you're happy, then I am happy"

I give her a small smile, before entering the front room, to see Luke texting on his phone.

I sneak up behind up, and snuggle my head into his shoulder. I'm not trying to read his conversation, I wouldn't do that, but he's so cuddly and I can't resist it.

He also smells better than Hollister.

Which is equivalent to perfect.

"Hello" he whispers in my ear, pulling me onto the sofa with him.
"The things I want to do to you right now, princess"

I gasp, and slap his arm playfully. He smirks, and let's out a small chuckle.

"Don't you worry baby. I have some manners" he smirks, once again. It's like his signature move.

He inches our faces together, and connects our lips. I think I am enjoying this way more than I should considering my mum is in the room next door, and I didn't even notice husband traveling up my thigh. Like she said, thin walls.

How awkward.

His hands slowly slide down the wasteland of my bottoms, and I try to hold in my moan.

"Kids, dinners done" my mum shouts through.

Thank god she didn't walk in.

I am not a kid!

Luke gets up, and smirks down at me, leaving me wanting more.

What a tease.
