Loving Lars

33. Loving the Arcade

I woke up incased in warmth. A pair of arms wound tightly around my waist. For a moment I was confused as to who I was snuggled against but then it all came flooding back to me. Every moment from last night played through my head. I can't believe after all this time Lars and I finally kissed. I wanted to squeal with excitement but I held it together, instead I felt my cheeks heat from the memory of him pushing me against the door.

He was a great kisser. So much so, that I could spend the rest of my life with his lips pressed against mine.

I heard him rustling from behind me, signifying that he was awake. So I shut my eyes pretending to be asleep.

It wasn't long before I felt his lips place soft kisses along my neck, sending me into a frenzy.

"I know you're awake." Lars let out a husky chuckle.

I couldn't resist any longer, I wanted to see his attractive face and cute morning smile. So I turned around, still in his arms.

I couldn't contain my wide smile, feeling giddy in his presence.

"Morning." I whispered, bringing my hands up to his face, gently rubbing the smooth skin of his under eyes.

His eyes fluttered closed and he flashed me a smile.

"Hi Sunshine." He draws circles on my waist, tickling me.

I suddenly started to feel shy, so I hid my face against his warm, bare chest.

"Come on." He laughed, "as much as I'd love to keep you in my bed forever, I wanna take you somewhere."

That got me scrambling out of bed.

"Like a date?" I smiled.

"A real, proper date." He nodded.

I was going to contain my squeal but I didn't, if Lars doesn't like the way I got excited about things then he doesn't get to date me.

He laughed, pushing me out the room, "go on, crazy."

"Enough with the names!" I called out to him, before entering my room and doing a happy dance.

I was actually going on a date! And with Lars at that!

I needed to tell the girls, they wouldn't believe it. So I ran downstairs, hoping to find them.

I found everyone hanging out in the kitchen.

"Oh, good morning, Sleepyhead!" Yousef greeted.

"What time do you call this?" Axel looked down at an imaginary watch on his wrist.

"Hi guys." I laughed.

I needed to get the girls out of the kitchen without the boys suspecting anything, thankfully Lars and Knox aren't in here. Which was going to be difficult because I can't contain how I feel. Ever.

So they're going to want to know why I'm excited and then I'll get all flustered and it will be a mess! I don't want to upset Lars either as he's definitely not the kind of guy who likes other people knowing his business.

"Anna, Harley. Can you come with me?" I squeaked.

"Sure." Anna said, looking slightly suspicious.

"What's going on?" Cooper piped up.

"Nothing, nothing" I said before running up the stairs, hoping that Anna and Harley were following.

"What's going on, Elza?" Harley laughed, noticing my flustered state.

"Larsaskedmeonadate." I rushed out.

"Say that again." Anna asked, with a glimmer in her eyes.

"I'm going on a date with Lars!"
