"Do you want to order pizza and watch movies?" Luke asked after we had been talking about random stuff for the past hour or so.

"As long as I don't have to talk to you anymore I don't care what we do." I joked and smirked the smallest bit.

"Damn Paisley, your talent is hurting my feelings." He said and took a menu off the fridge for me to look at.

"You can just order half cheese and then whatever you want." I said and pushed the menu towards him.

"Cheese? You're so boring." He said and gave me a disturbed look.

"I'm a picky eater leave me alone." I said and rested my chin on my knees.

"Not even pepperoni? That's the most common pizza topping ever." He said.

"It's too greasy." I said and scrunched my face up in disgust.

"It's pizza." He defended which made me laugh a bit.

"Did you just-" He said in surprise and pointed to me.

"What?" I asked in confusion and sat up straight.

"Did you just laugh?" He asked in surprise with an evident smile on his face.

"Yeah?" I questioned and couldn't help but chuckle because of how weird he was being.

"I don't think I've ever seen you smile, never mind a laugh." He said and took a few steps closer to me.

"Because you always annoy me." I said with an eye roll.

"Well I like it." He said and smiled at me.

"What the fact that you annoy me?" I asked while he just laughed.

"No Paisley. I like your smile, and your laugh." He said and looked me in the eyes. I felt my cheeks get really warm and this nervous feeling in my stomach. I don't know why this always happened, it only happened when he complimented me really.

"Can we just watch a movie?" I asked to try and avoid the awkwardness.

"I suppose." He said and led me over to the couch.

"You pick a movie, I'll order some pizza." He said and went back in the kitchen, leaving me on the couch with the remote.

"The Hunger Games? Good choice." He said as he walked back in a few minutes later.

"Well duh, it's the Hunger Games." I said while he sat down on the couch next to me, making sure to leave a space between us.

He took the remote from my hands and quickly started the movie. The two of us got comfortable on our end of the couch as the movie played and we waited for the pizza to get here.

We talked a lot during the movie, but it was about the movie so I didn't mind too much about it. Apparently he thought Katniss should be with Gale, but anyone in their right mind is team Peeta. So that was a big discussion topic there.

"I cannot believe you only like cheese pizza. Do you seriously not eat any other kind of pizza?" He asked as we started eating our pizza.

"I'm fine with my cheese over here, mind your business." I said and took a bite from my slice.

"Have you tried any other kind of pizza?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"A couple, I wouldn't say every kind in the world." I said and shrugged my shoulders.

"I'm going to get you to try all the best ones, that's my new mission." He said firmly and finished his first slice, meanwhile I was barely halfway through mine.

"That's a lot of pizza, and even more time with you. I think I'll pass." I said while he just laughed at me.

"Come on, you've got to like me by now. I'm an extremely like able guy." He said and picked up another slice of pizza.

"Then why don't I like you yet?" I asked and raised my eyebrow at him.

"Clearly you're just being stubborn. I've made you smile quite a few times tonight, I'd say I've made progress." He said confidently.

"I am stubborn, but that doesn't mean I like you." I said and leaned back against the couch.

"Come on I wanna be friends. Can we be friends?" He asked with puppy dog eyes and a slight pout. He did look cute, which almost made me want to give in. But I still had this awful feeling about him.

"You try way too hard you know." I said with a chuckle.

"Which should prove to you that I want it that bad." He said which made me roll my eyes.

"I'm going to regret being friends with you aren't I?" I asked and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Absolutely not, you'll be falling for me by tomorrow." He said with a playful smirk while I scoffed at him.

"Please." I said and shook my head.

"Eat your boring pizza Blake, this is the last of it you're gonna get until you've tried everything." He said and handed me the rest of the slices of cheese pizza.
