Meet and Run

Chapter three - The Nightmare

"One kiss Rubix?" Luke pleads for the hundredth time since we have come into my apartment. The bright lights are turned on through out the whole house since Luke thought he would take a tour by himself. The place was very modern and easy to clean, since it was just me. I adjusted the lighting so it was dimmer in all the room so that I could save some money on electricity this month. The kitchen, dining room, and living room were all connected, and a small hallway that led to my master bed room and a bathroom at the end.
"As much as I want to, I don't kiss on the first," I pause, looking at him for an idea of what this is.
"Our first meeting, not quite a date, yet." he's sitting on the couch with a bag of Doritos and a soda. I gave him a single serving not a big bag, that bag is for me on my movie days. I walk from the kitchen to the living room with an iced tea and a bag of chex mix in hand, I plop myself next to him.
"Movie?" his blue eyes meet mine.
"Netflix?" I laugh, I only have mean girls on cd, and I've only watched it once and I found it to be horrible.
"And Chill?" I can see the smirk on his face in the dim lighting.
"Just Netflix." I pick up the controller and flip through the movies and shows they have until I settle on Breaking Bad, I've already seen all the episodes but Luke hasn't.
I open my bag of chex mix and curl up into a ball, somewhere in this whole process I have covered myself with a grey soft blanket.
"I'm cold too!" Luke scoffs, pulling some of the blanket towards him leaving my legs uncovered, I yell and pull them back.
"We could cuddle and share the blanket." He suggests, I glare at him before shrugging and moving closer to him. Luke yawns and places his arm over my shoulder, a classic move.
"You warm yet?" I ask, I'm right up against Luke's chest, millions of girls would die to be in my position right now.
"Just perfect Rubix, now shush." Luke places a finger over my lips to shut me up,"Am I staying the night?"
"You can if you want." I yawn and lean further into him. I can feel his eyes on me, my eyelids are already closed, just listening to Luke's breathing. I start to doze off when I feel hands under my body. I wake up momentarily but fall back asleep immediately.
4am, my alarm clock shines bright in my face, a scream comes from beside me, the bed is shaking.
"GET OFF ME NO PLEASE STOP PLEASE" I hear him yell, I look at him panicked.
"Luke! Luke!" I shake him, no luck.
"STOP!" his hands grip my wrists, I'm getting worried he's going to hurt me.
"LUKE!"I scream in an attempt to wake him up.
His eyes fly open, he shoots straight up, sending me onto his lap.
"Ruby?" his eyes are filled with tears, his hair is all messed up and flat, a worried expression came over his beautiful features,"I didn't hurt you did I?" he asks turning on the lamp next to his side of the bed, he starts to inspect me.
"No I'm okay, are you?" I ask him, wrapping my arm around him trying to comfort him.
He doesn't respond until I hear a very quiet,"No"
