That Boy Next Door [l.r.h.] *UNDER MAJOR EDITING*

|chapter 12|

We got down to our spot and set everything up. Calum immediately took off his shirt and ran down to the water, then Ashton and Michael followed his actions. Luke was left and he stood by me and asked,
"you coming Lila?"

"Yeah, I'll be down there in a second, you go ahead."

"You sure?" He questioned.

"Ya It's fine." I replied.

"Okay, hurry up." He laughed.

He turned around, took off his white the Offspring tank top, then ran down to the boys.

I latest my towel down on the sand next to the boys' balled up towels.

I took my purple cover up off so I was left in my bikini. Then suddenly I felt two wet arms swivel around my waist.

The person started laughing then I turned around to find it was Luke.

Damn. His smile is so cute.

"I told you to hurry up, now you have no choice." He smirked.

"Wait. What?" I questioned.

He picked me up bridal style and ran down to the water while I was laughing and yelling.

"Luke, put me down!" I said in between laughs.

"NEVER!" He yelled which was followed with a fake evil laugh.

He started laughing when we got into the water, then he threw me in.

I emerged from the water and immediately when I did a big wave came and crashed on me making me go under without a breath. I tumbled for a little but when I could come up, I took a deep breath. Luke came running over to me, as fast as he could, considering we were in the water. And came up to me and hugged me tight.

"Lila, I am so sorry are you okay? I'm really sorry I didn't mean for that to happen. I'm sorry." Luke apologized frantically.

"Luke, I'm fine." I smiled, "it wasn't your fault. It's okay."

"Okay. Good." He replied with a grin.

He ran over to the boys while holding my hand.

"She's fine guys." Luke said to them.

"Lila, he seriously was really worried. He got so serious for a minuet when the wave took you under." Ashton smirked.

"Oh really now." I laughed.

Luke looked at his hands and twiddled with his bracelets.

"Does little Lukey care?" I said in a fake baby voice, which was followed with a laugh.

"Well, yeah. Of course I care." He said.
"And also, I'm like 3 feet taller than you. Don't call me little." He said then started laughing.

"Thanks. I care about you too, of course." I added then giggled.

"WILL YOU GUYS JUST DATE ALREADY?" Calum yelled.

"DUDE. Shut up!" Luke said while pushing him playfully as Calum pretended to fall.

I started laughing uncontrollably.
Then Luke looked over at me and smiled.

"What?" I said in between laughs.

"Calum is right." He answered.

"What do you mean?" I said while sobering my laugh attack.

"We should date." He smirked" how about tomorrow."

I could feel my cheeks beginning to be a flaming red. He is so cute, and such a gentleman.

"Alright." I smiled.

"Well, love birds. Let's go back up to the shore." Ashton laughed.

"Let's build a sandcastle!" Michael yelled.

"YES!" Calum agreed.

"I'm in." Ashton added.

"I'm gonna sit on the towels." Luke said.

"I'll go with you." I added.

"Don't have too much fun without us." Michael smiled.

"Oh my goodness Michael shut up." Luke laughed.

We started walking to the towels while the boys started with their sandcastle, then Luke grabbed my hand. I looked up at him then he looked back and smiled, so I returned the smile and gently squeezed his hand.

"You're beautiful." Luke told me.

"You're handsome." I replied.

He smiled then we sat down on our towels. "Are you hungry?" He questioned.

"Yeah. I guess." I said.

"I brought snacks." He smiled.

"Yay." I said followed with a laugh.

"I brought..... string cheese, Doritos, Gatorade, water, and I made 5 sandwiches." He informed me.

"What would you like?" He smiled.

"Ummmmmm... Doritos." I replied.

"Same." He said while handing me a bag of Doritos and one for himself.

"Well, are you planning on going back in the water in a little?" He asked.

"Yeah, if you are." I replied.

"Okay. Ya I will." He said.

"Okay." I added with a smile.

--

We went back into the water and had a lot of fun. Michael came up behind Ashton and scared him, causing him to scream his little manly scream.

Luke had kissed me twice, and both times, it felt like the first time. Every time we kiss it always feels like the first.

We got into the car and dropped off Calum, Michael, and Ashton off at Ashton's house then me and Luke went to his.

"So, what do you want to do?" He asked me.

"Well, we can just watch some movies then we can go to Taco Bell for dinner, if you want. And like Taco Bell." I laughed.

"Sounds good. I love Taco Bell." He grinned.

"Okay, well what movies should we watch?" He asked.

"Well, we can watch a scary movie so I can have an excuse to cuddle." He smirked.

"You don't need an excuse." I said and smirked back at him.

"Okay. Well, let's watch a happy movie and cuddle." He grinned.

"Alright. So what movie?" I asked again.

"We'll start off with Frozen." He chuckled.

"Alright." I smiled.

He out the movie on while I sat down on the couch, then he sat down and cuddled next to me. Then he out his arm around me so I rested my head on his shoulder.

The movie ended so he put in another, which was Big Daddy. It's one of my favorite movies and he knows that. Damn it he's so nice.

That movie ended and it was 6:28 p.m. so he asked me, "so, do you wanna go to Taco Bell now?"

"Yeah, Let's go." I replied while getting up.

"Oh wait." I added, "I'm still in my bikini and cover up, do you mind if we stop by my house so I can get changed?"

"Yeah, It's okay." He smiled.

"Alright, Let's go." I said.

--

We got Taco Bell, then went back to his house. It was 8:43 p.m. so I was gonna go home, we exchanged goodbyes and kissed. Again, it felt like the first time, he's such a great kisser.

I went home and yelled to my mom that I was.

Then I went into my room, got changed into pajamas, and went to my bed thinking about Luke all night until I feel asleep. I really truly am lucky to have Luke.
