The game started and no one was really interested in playing on teams so we quickly burned through the first game and we started playing singles. Ash and Cora took up one lane playing against eachother, Mikey Bella and Cal were still eating so Luke and i decided to just play for fun a bit.

"Luke i just gotta warn you that I am probably the worst bowler in the world"

"Awe thats okay babe I'll help you out so you dont lose that bad"

He called me babe!!

"Wow thanks i appreciate your concern Luke"

"No problem Claire, here I'll go first and set the bar"

Luke walked up to the lane exaggerating his strut, picked up a ball and with no effort what so ever rolled a perfect strike.

I sat with my arms crossed and my mouth wide open watching luke strut back to me.

Well this is gonna be embarassing

I awkwardly stood up biting my lip as luke gave me a cocky smirk. I slowly walked up to the lane looking back at the still smirking Luke. I picked up a ball and slowly walked to the front of the lane. I rolled and knocked down one pin... one freaking pin... how is that even possible??? Luke of corse found this hilarious as he pushed past me getting another strike without even looking. My jaw once again dropped and Luke said

"Come on, I'll show you how its done"

He pulled me close to him and i picked up a ball. Luke put his arm around me and had his hand over mine. It was the most cliché thing in the world but I'm a hopeless romantic so honestly i loved it. Being in Lukes arms was different from Matt, Matt was cold and i felt nothing But Luke... Luke gave me butterflies. He made my heart race and my mind became a blur when he touched me, it was something new, something good. He began moving our arms together in the bowling motion, the ball left our hands and rolled down the lane. I tensed up under Lukes arm and bit my lip awaiting the ball to make contact with the pins and knock those bastards all down. And when the ball finally hit them and....

STRIKE!!!

I jumped up like a classic excited girl wrapping my arms around Lukes shoulders and felt his muscular arms snake around my waist. I breathed in closing my eyes and really just enjoying this moment. I didnt have to worry, not about Stan or Cece, not about Matt or anyone else at school and it was simple. In that moment. In Lukes arms. Everything was simple.

It should be simple... (A Luke Hemmings Fanfic)Where stories live. Discover now
