Oh my god!

Why had I just turned down the most handsome kind beautiful boy standing in my kitchen?

I had loved him ever since I was little and thought this day would never come.

But it did.

And I fucked it up.

Hearing the door slam after I had done a panicked run to my room I screamed into my pillow and tears ran down my face.

3 hours later I heard the door open - was it luke?
Would he give me another chance? More of a  reason to hurt our loved ones?

"Honey I'm homeeee" Lola sang leaning against the door frame.

"How was the interview girl!" I sniffed trying to hide the fact I had been weeping over a boy.

"Omg babe! What's wrong" she ran over to my bed and jumped in as I told her everything.

Lola was a great listener and heard every word I said nodding her head and pulling a disgusted face at all the correct times.

" and you see the worst thing is he is the only boy I can't have" I wailed

"Oh doll c'mere" she pulled me into a Jacob style hug making me cry even more.

"I think - Jacob isn't here, you should see where it goes - if it's nothing and it fizzles out fine whatever, but I think you will regret it if you don't" I nodded at her kindly given advice and picked up my phone to message Luke.

My phone vibrated in my hand just as I was doing so.

LUKE ❤️ - friends?

********

My heart was pounding against my chest and I was almost certain it would break free.

Nerves racked through my body as I waited anxiously for the text to say he was outside.

I know I know it's not a date. But still. I was about to hang out with Luke walkers and I'm pretty sure that would make any girl quiver in their boots.

Knock knock.

It was time!

I opened the door to a handsome brown haired 6'5 ice hockey player and I could barely hide my grin.

He wore baggy pants and an oversized black T-shirt with 'Taylor college ice hockey' in the corner.

Luke was too die for.

"Hey" I said softly going on my tiptoes to plant a wet kiss on his cheek.

"How are you beautiful? I bought these to brighten up the living room" he winked handing me the most stunning bouquet of baby's breath - my favourite flower

"Aww Luke these are beautiful thank you so much!" I ushered him in as I prepared a vase.

He looked around awkwardly clearing his throat.
"So where's Lola?" He asked gruffly.

"Job interview - shoe shop apparently didn't appreciate her wearing a pair of brand new converse during her shift and then 'accidentally' taking them home." I giggled at the memory.

Luke threw his head back and laughed in the beautiful sexy way he did.

"So - should we get going?" Luke asked rubbing the back of his neck as he did so.

I nodded and I practically floated out the door.
