(This is a short chapter... but next two are going to be longer!!!)
Julie's POV
—the next morning—
Well, that happened last night... we, did it... our V card is gone... kidding actually Nick took my V card... when we were dating... sorry... I'm just really shocked as of what happened last night!
I wake up to the sound of birds chirping outside of the window next to me, I flutter my eyes open and the room is too bright... I drank to much... I definitely have a hangover I look over to my left and see the most beautiful thing ever... Luke...
The bedsheet is wrapped just above his waist and his head is turned facing me I smile at him but I slowly move closer to him and rub his cheek he rolls on his side and groans
"Good morning.." he says tiredly and doesn't fully open his eyes yet "what time is it?"
"It's almost 8..." I reply with a more softer tone considering both of us have a headache
Luke's eyes search mine, still clouded with sleep but now tinged in realization. He swallows hard, his expression a mixture of surprise, confusion, and something else I can't quite place "wow..." he mutters under his breath, running his hands through his tousled hair
"Yeah..." I say softly, biting my lip as I watch him process of what just happened. I dont know what I expected- maybe for things to feel different, or for the reality of last night to hit us like a tidal wave. But instead, there's this quite intimacy that makes me feel more connected to him then I did before
He turns fully towards me, the sheet slipping just ever so slightly lower, and I can't help but notice his muscle tense under his skin "are you okay?" He asks, his voice full of concern, his gaze locking onto mine with an intensity that makes my heart skip a beat
I nod, giving him a small smile to reassure him "I'm okay, Luke. Really, are you okay?"
He lets out a breath he's been holding, his shoulders relaxing as he nods back "Yeah, I'm okay too." He reaches out to gently touch my cheek, his thumb brushing over my skin in a way that sends warmth running through me "last night... it wasn't just the alcohol talking, was it?"
I shake my head, placing my hand over his "No, it wasn't... I wanted to... I wanted you..."
He closes his eyes for a moment, like he's letting my words sink in "Thank God... because I wanted you too..."
We both smile and I lean down to kiss him and he kisses me back "Listen, we should probably go find Flynn considering she didn't leave last night either... and then, I'll tell her what happened..." I rub up and down his chest I plant a few kisses on his chest while rubbing it and he groans
"Okay..." he says and closes his eyes when I smile up at him
"Let's go..." I say and I get up and go find my bra, underwear and dress and put them on
