Unexpectedly // L.H

Chapter Twenty Four

Caitlin's P.O.V

"Hey what are you thinking about?" Luke asked as I buried my head into Luke's chest.

"Do you remember in kindergarten? When we used to pretend we were explorers in the playground?"

"Yeah..." Luke replies.

"What was your initial thought of me?"

Luke smiles before resting his chin on my head.

"Ugh. Where can I even start...?" Luke joked.

"Don't make fun of me..." I pouted, "But seriously what did you think of me?"

"I thought you were the weirdest person I've ever met... I mean we were both messed up children... when everyone would be playing in the sand box and reading books, we would just be wondering around the playground with magnifying glasses exploring insects and bugs..." Luke proclaimed.

We laugh.

"I had a crush on you ever since kindergarten..." Luke reveals looking embarrassed.

I smile. "Well... for your information dork, I thought you were cute... you're still cute now, oh wait never mind you're gone a bit meh and lanky..." I teased.

Luke pouts. He's so cute.

"I'm only joking, I love you dork."

"I love you too weirdo." Luke replies.

After a couple of hours talking about our childhood, Luke and I just sat there on the couch cuddling each other, Luke's hands were around my waist, with his hands intertwined in mine.

"Come on let's go get changed." Luke whispered.

I moaned. "Ugh. Why? I just want to cuddle with you..."

Luke laughs and smiles. "I want to take you shopping..."

"Why? I thought boys don't go shopping plus you've never liked shopping..."

"Well... things change plus I want to treat my girlfriend. Isn't that what a boyfriend / bestfriend is meant to do? Make their girl happy?" Luke explains.

Hehe, He called me his girl.

"Okay fine, I'll go shopping with you dork... you know I'm not a girly girl..." I whined.

Luke smiles.

"I'm not normal."

"Yeah, I figured that out ages ago." Luke states.

--

"What do you want to do?" Luke asks.

"I don't know, I don't like shopping"

As I say that my eye are drawn to a sweet shop. There's a massive container of candy floss...

"Lukey... can I have candy floss please?"

"I thought you didn't want anything." Luke joked as we made our way to the sweet shop.

"You know me Luke. I have a massive sweet tooth."

"Tell me something I don't know." Luke teased.

"I love you lanky dork."

Luke pulls a face at me. "I love you too."

"Can we have 2 containers of candy floss please?" Luke asked the female worker. I swear she is eyeing Luke, is it normal for me to feel jealous? I've never felt this way towards Luke... I've never been that jealous type.

I'm not jealous, I'm territorial, and jealousy is when you want something that isn't yours. Territorial is protecting what is already yours... (Quotes, told ya I'm quote obsessed...)

I snapped back into reality when Luke says, "Here you go beautiful, anything else? "Luke says, as he hands me the container of candy floss.

--

After arriving home from a long day of shopping, Luke and I head upstairs into his room and crash onto the bed staring at each other.

"You're so beautiful." Luke says.

"I don't know why you think that Luke, have you not seen me?"

Luke's face softened as he has never seen me speak like this about myself... "Who do I need to kill?"

This is how you know Luke knows me... he's also that protective boyfriend / bestfriend type...

"No one..." I answer.

"Are you sure? I don't want anyone upsetting my girl." Luke says.

It feels so weird when Luke refers to me as "his girl," He sounds like a massive dork. I kiss him on the lips to reassure him that I'm fine.

Luke's P.O.V

I woke up the sun's rays through the blinds in my room. I look down to see Caitlin buried in my chest, with strands of hair in her face. I gently brush back the strands of hair behind her ears, trying not to wake her up.

I cautiously make my way downstairs to prepare breakfast for my princess when she wakes up, she has no idea how much she means to me... I slowly place her head on the pillow and sit myself up before running my hands through my hair, I checked my alarm clock, it was about 7:30 in the morning.

What the hell am I doing this early in the morning?

After a couple of minutes staring at how peaceful and beautiful Caitlin looks when she's sleeping, I make my way downstairs and start cooking breakfast. Now I'm not a great cook, but I try. After I grabbed all the ingredients I needed for breakfast, I quickly grabbed a shirt and some money and ran to the local corner shop to buy flowers for Caitlin.

"How can I help you?" The shopkeeper asked.

"Um... what flower do you suggest I get my girlfriend before she wakes up?" I ask.

"She likes roses but she keeps changing what flowers she likes." I added.

"Well... tulips and roses are very romantic for your girlfriend." The shopkeeper suggested.

"You know what just to be on the safe side, I will buy one of each thank you and a box of Belgium chocolate please"

"Okay." The shopkeeper replied before gathering a range of flowers together.

Wow, it looked like someone vomited a rainbow...

I gave some money to the shopkeeper before rushing back to the apartment. I tip toed upstairs into my room where Caitlin was sleeping. I placed flowers around her and saved a couple of flowers so I could place them downstairs... and got some paper and started writing...

Morning beautiful, hope you had a nice long rest. Breakfast is waiting for you downstairs along with your tall lanky dork <3 ~Luke~

I folded the piece of paper and placed it on the other pillow on my bed. I make my way downstairs and started making breakfast...

Moments later, I felt hands wrapping around my waist. It was Caitlin; I turned around and hugged her, before kissing her on the forehead and placing a small lilac coloured flower behind her ear.

She smiles at me, which in turn makes me smile.

"Morning beautiful"

"Morning lanky dork." Caitlin replies.

"Breakfast is ready." I announced.

I placed the food from the frying pan into 2 plates and Caitlin and I make our way towards the table.

"Not bad dork. You can cook." Caitlin comments.

I laugh. "Thanks."

Hai guys :3

So, again I'm sorry its such a long chapter... really hope you guys like it though... I really wish Luke did this for me... but then again its cliché as fudge... (Don't stop believing) <-- See what I did there? Lol, I'm so funny...Not.

Like my quote that I used?

Smile because you're beautiful :)
