Chapter 10

**FLASHBACK
     Luke texts me to come over now. Apparently he's taking me surfing with him. I remember watching a video on Ashton saying that Luke looks like someone who can surf, but he can't. This will be fun to watch. It's seven thirty in the morning and I'm wearing long sleeved Roxy bathing suit top with pink bottoms. My dark hair is in a ponytail. I walk outside and Luke is in the car. I make sure to grab all my essentials like a towel, phone, and I guess sunscreen too. Luke is in a black wetsuit. Too hot to handle. I hop into shotgun and smile.
"You ready?" He asks.
"Nope, but lets go." We buckle up. This is not okay. The steering wheel is on the right side. Luke tosses his phone, so it is on my lap.
"Could you google the beach again? Sorry, I kinda forgot."
"Shouldn't you know where the beaches are?" I shake my head.
"Well yeah, I guess. It's just that this beach is special."
"Special because it's our first date?"
"I was gonna say because there's an instructor, but that works too."
"Hemmings, you are such a dork." He doesn't even have a passcode. Phone trust game strong. I unlock it and I can see the page he was on. It reads: Cute ideas for first dates.
"Luke?"
"This can't be good. Let me guess, you saw my history?"
"Yepperz."
"I'm just not very creative okay?" He admits, bashfully.
"I honestly think this is adorable."
"Really?"
"Yes! Now, tell me the address, so we don't get lost." He tells me and we figure out where it is. More like Luke figures it out, but who cares? "Wait, how much did this?" Luke doesn't answer me. A lot apparently.
"Not too much. Lil I've got us covered. Don't worry." I roll my eyes.
"I can't believe you." I smile. "So, is this instructor a guy or girl?"
"I actually don't know, but we are about to find out." He says as we park. I open the door and step out. We start walking towards the beach next to each other. His hand holds mine and he looks at me. "Is this okay?"
"Never better." I blush. It's easy to spot our instructor on the beach. One thing is for sure, definitely male.
"Hi! Are you two here for the surfing lesson?" His voice indicates he's gay. Luke's grip on my hand tightens.
"Yes, -we are." He puts an emphasis on "we". Is he jealous? I can't deal.
"Okay, let's get started. By the way my name is Kingsley, but you can call me Kingslay." Definitely gay. This is going to be so much fun. After showing us how we are going to surf on the sand, we grab the two surfboards our instructor brought and dive into the water. To say the temperature is perfect would be an understatement. Together, we all paddle out for a good distance. To be honest, I'm already having difficulties. Not a good sign. Eventually, Kingslay informs us that we're at a good spot. "Who would like to go first?" Luke and I exchange a look before Luke politely says,
"Ladies first." Thanks a lot. Kingslay ushers me to paddle over to him. "When I say go, start paddling as hard as you can."
I nervously reply. "Okay." Kingslay has a hand on my lower thigh and the board. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Luke's jaw tighten. You have got to be kidding me. He thinks Kingslay is hitting on me.
"Go! Go! Go!" I start paddling and laugh to myself. The wave picks me up. I try and steady myself to stand up. It's working! Aaaand I'm underwater. The board is still going, tugging me alongside with it because my ankle is strapped to the board. I resurface, coughing my lungs out and give Luke a thumbs up. Jesus, they are very far away. Takes me like five whole minutes to make my way back. Hashtag making my way back to you bae. It's Luke's turn and Kingslay has a hand on Luke's ass. I try and muffle my laughter by biting my lip. Luke isn't phased because he doesn't think anything of it. I'M SCREECHINH ASHKHBFG!
"Same as last time. When I say go, start paddling your heart out."
Lucas sasses."I know."
"Okay, go! Go! Go! Faster! Harder!" Kingslay commands. I think I cried a little. Luke wipes out almost immediately. "What's your name?"
I say, "Lily, nice to meet you."
"You too. Man, I wish my boyfriend could look like that. I mean, I could just eat him up." He checks him out.
"Kingsley, I love you." I giggle. Kingslay winks at me and laughs too. Luke looks really mad. Oops. It's my turn again and I get up for a good five seconds! This is actually really fun. Luke falls over as soon as he gets up or tries to. "I hate to say it, but your boyfriend sucks."
"We aren't officially dating yet, I think." Haven't thought of that.
"Better claim him or I will." He jokes.
"Hey, we should have some fun with this. Luke thinks that you are hitting on me, so I think we should try and make him jealous."
"I am down for a little fun in the sun. Lily, making men jealous is my specialty I mean look at me." He flexes. True. Luke arrives back over, dripping wet and hotter than ever. Jesus take the wheel. I don't know if I can pull off this whole jealous thing.
"Lily, when you surf, I want you to imagine me for some motivation. Picture me working out, muscles lifting weights, me drenched in swe-"
"She gets it!" Luke warns. It's sort of a coincidence that I ride this wave better than the last ones combined. When I get back over to them both, Kingslay says,
"I think it worked." If looks could kill, Kingslay would be a dead man. Luke picks it up this time and stays on the whole time. "Impressive."
"I know right?" I agree. Luke draws closer. "Time to put these acting skills to work." I say.
"Sadly, this is our last one for today guys." Kingslay pouts. Luke mocks him and I laugh. So much for staying in character. "Luke, I think you can try onyour own, but Lily you're a different story." Then, Kingslay grabs my butt and gives me a small push.  "Come on Lily! Harder!" I shakily get to shore and can jump off onto the sand. Luke is not too far behind. Kingslay meets us there and tells us how good we were for beginners. Especially me. Luke and I are about to walk out to the car when Luke firmly hugs me.
"I hate him." He growls.
"I don't know, I thought he was hot."
"W-what?" Luke stutters.
"You are so blind, Hemmings."
"Why is that?"
"He was gay!"
"He was hitting on you!"
"We were messing with you! He groped your ass for crying out loud!"
"Yours too!" Luke argues back.
"That is because we were joking!"
"I am never going surfing with you again." Luke threatens.
"I'm sorry. The opportunity was too good to pass up." I pout. Luke turns his back to me. Every time I try to walk around to see his face, Luke spins around. Finally, I get him.
"Come on now don't give me that look." Luke is giving me a puppy dog face and I am melting. I reach my hands up to his face, squishing it into a smile. Luke and I end up laughing. "Let's get out of here." He says.
"Yeah, I'm really gross right now."
"Agreed." I slap his arm.
"Jerk!" I giggle. We get to the car and I lay my towel on the seat before sitting down. The car starts and we're off. "That was an amazing. Thank you."
Luke smiles. "Anytime, well maybe not surfing, but you know what I mean."
"How will I ever repay you?" I say in a high pitch voice, making Luke laugh. I know. I smile mischievously and start kissing Luke's neck, leaving trails of kissing. His grip on the wheel tightens.
"Lil?"
"Mhmm?" I reply between kisses.
"I am trying to drive."
"I am trying to thank you."
"I can see that, but can you thank me when we get home?" I blush.
"Maybe."
"Lily!"
"Fine." I huff, jokingly and raise my hands up. Luke is driving a little fast. Excited much? Just kidding ya. We get back home fast and are parked in the driveway.
"What do you want to do now?" Luke asks me. I should really shower.
"I need to shower and change."
"Of course! Um yeah do you want to come over afterwards?"
"Never!" I gasp.
"Great! Not that you don't want to come over because you clearly were being sarcasti-"
"Hemmings?"
"Yeah?"
"You are so awkward." I laugh. He looks down at the ground and kicks a pebble.
"That isn't a good thing."
"No, it's a perfect thing."
