The more time I spent with Luke, the more I came to realise he was a very busy person. He was always going off to these NHL meetings.
I of course always made a fuss but I didn't mean it.

Today was Valentine's Day and to be honest I was so disappointed I wasn't doing anything with Luke. I mentioned it the morning after the party but I guess he just isn't a valentine kind of guy?

Either way I was sad.

I didn't expect anything but I did at the same time. I shouldn't though. It's not like we were girlfriend and boyfriend or anything.

Mia and Ollie voices suddenly became clearer.
"Ugh mia I know I'm just saying the mind is more -" Ollie debated some silly psychology thing we had just done but my mind was elsewhere.

Friday was normally my favourite day of the week as I had media studies with Lola and Ollie in the morning, then Mia joined us for lunch, then we would go to psychology but I hadn't enjoyed today one bit.

"Guys I'm gonna head home - I don't feel great." I gave them a weak smile.

"Oh bless you" Ollie gave me a tight hug.
"Feel better hun" Mia pressed her cheek against mine.

My Keys unlocked the door and I dumped my backpack by the door. I flung my tight shoes off and dragged my feet to the kitchen.

The refrigerator was painfully empty.

"Lola we are out off- AH" I closed the fridge and it revealed a creepy looking Lola who handed me an eerie looking folded piece of paper.

"Oh my god Lola what the fuck!" She said nothing and pointed to the note with her freshly manicured pink acrylic nails

"oooh cute nails!" I told her

"Thanks babe - they only cost-" her face went dark again and fell back into character.

Sighing I opened the note.

Eleanor wills
Please wear something casual.
You will be picked up at 6:30 on the dot.
Pack a bag for 2 nights.

I looked at Lola confused.

She giggled "you are going to have the best time! I swear it's all safe - I'm pretty sure Ollie is getting you so don't panic - go get dressed!! in fact  I'll help." Lola practically pushed me up the stairs.

At 6:25 I emerged from upstairs to look at my outfit in the mirror. Lola had kindly let me borrow her beige cargos and I wore a tight black top, my neck decorated with silver jewlery and
beach waves framed my face as per usual.

"Babe you look stunning" Lola smiled fake wiping tears from her eyes. She dumped my duffel bag on the floor panting "I can't talk because I'm a major over packer - but fucking hell babe what have you got in here"

I threw my head back and laughed. I had no idea what I would do without this girl.

A beep came from outside.

"That's your ride enjoy!" Lola smacked a kiss on my check and pushed me out the door, slamming firmly behind me.

It was in-fact Ollie, but it wasn't his car. It was a sleek black car - like the Kardashian's travel in! Fuck now I really was confused.

Ollie wound his window and winked at me signalling me to get in.

Awkwardly I opened the door and climbed in with my massive bag.

And to my surprise, Luke was sat there with a grin from ear to ear.

"Luke! Oh my god!" I climbed onto his lap planting kisses all over his face as his hands moved up and down my curves and he pinched my butt playfully.

"Hey keep it pg back there!" Ollie instructed sternly.

"Shut up Ollie don't be a dick" Luke said harshly before winding up the black glass separating us and him.

I hit him and scolded him not to be rude.

"Seriously Luke what is going on!" I giggled watching him poor me pink lemonade into a champagne float.

"You didn't really think I wouldn't do anything today?" I didn't say anything and his eyebrows creased at the lack of my response.

"Anyway, I just thought with the help of your friends I could plan something for you. And I'm not saying anymore than that" he slapped my butt and I laughed.

I can't believe he would do that for me.

One hour later the car stopped.

With a puzzled expression on my face I turned to Luke. "Where are we?" I asked him to which he shrugged and got out the car quickly running to the other side so he could open my door.

Planting a kiss on my cheeck he held out his hand which I accepted happily and he pulled me out the car. Luke had both his bag and my bag on his shoulders.

He tapped the car and Ollie drove away and I waved him off like a mad mother whose child was off to war.

Once Ollie was no longer visible I took in my surroundings and oh my god.

A small wooden cabin sat on the side of a majestic lake which sparkled from the sun, surrounded with tall dark green trees.

"So?" Luke's gruff voice breaking the silence. He placed his hands on my hips and my breath hitched.

"Luke it's amazing - I love it - it's beautiful" my voice was small still in awe of where we were.

He chuckled softly and put my small hand in his and we walked up the steps to the cabin.

After struggling with the 1000 keys Luke had been given, he finally pushed open the door revealing the cosiest most beautiful lounge with a burning fire place. "Let's check out the dining room" Luke instructed, dumping the bags by the door and pushing me in the direction gently.

"Oh my god" I squealed when I saw the dining room table.

Rose petals were scattered in a path up to the sturdy wooden table which had two vases of beautiful dark red roses either side of a woven basket full of my favourite things. Reece's, my fave shampoo and conditioner, my perfume... the list goes on.

"Luke - what is all this?" I smiled at him but I was still so confused.

"Eleanor, you have been in my life since I moved to your neighbourhood, we have seen each others highs and lows and there is no one I would rather be with than you - will you be my girlfriend?"

Someone pinch me. Luke fucking walker just asked me to be his girlfriend.

"Girlfriend?" I gulped "oh my god of course I would love too!" I squealed jumping into his arms, wrapping my legs around him and Luke's hands went straight to my bum.

In that moment I didn't think about how it would affect our families or how it would make Jacob feel. I just thought about how happy and safe Luke made me feel and how I didn't want anyone else but him.
