I woke up sobbing in Luke's arms...
Yeah, that happened sometimes.
I get a lot of nightmares...
They all feel so real.
And scary.
"It's ok princess." Luke whispered, rocking me back and forth like a baby.
I tried to calm down but was unsuccessful.
"You're safe." He said softly.
My breathing was very fast, my heartbeat loud in my ears.
"I-I'm sor-sorry." I cried, upset with myself.
I'm such a wuss.
And I hate it.
"Don't apologize." He whispered, rocking me smoothly.
I tired to get the past out of my head.
It's the same nightmare almost every time...
"Shhh... it's ok." Luke said calmly when my breathing got fast again.
I closed my eyes and tried to take deep breaths.
"Everything's gonna be ok." Luke whispered, continuing to rock me back and forth.
I let out a shaky exhale.
"That's it." Luke said, when my breathing steadied again.
After a minute I got over myself, my past trama going back to the back of my mind.
I just can't stand the nightmares.
"I'm ok now." I mumbled, looking up at Luke.
My face was probably all red and I bet I look pretty stupid being in his arms.
"Are you sure?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at me.
"Yeah." I mumbled, wiping my wet face off, only to touch the glasses I forgot I was wearing.
My eyes went wide.
"People don't normally sleep with glasses on." Luke laughed.
"I fell asleep ok?" I grumbled at his laughter.
"You're cute when you're mad." Luke told me, a grin on his face.
"Sure." I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes at him.
"No eye rolling!" Luke announced, looking down at me with a stern expression.
"You aren't the boss of me." I laughed.
Who does this guy think he is?
I might be living with him, but that doesn't make him the boss of me.
"You sure about that?" Luke asked jokingly.
I smiled. "Positive."
"Well, you're wrong." Luke laughed.
"I'm right."
"Wrong."
"Right."
"You're wrong!" Luke exclaimed.
"No I'm not!" I laughed.
We did a silent staring contest, neither one of us breaking eye contact.
"You aren't the boss of me, so I can take these glasses off whenever I want." I told him, reaching up with my right hand to take the glasses off.
He softly grabbed my hand when it was an inch away from the frame.
"Actually, what I say goes, and I say they have to stay on." Luke said, fake seriousness in his tone. "For your own safety." He added with a smile.
I scoffed.
"Just try and take them off princess." He laughed.
Ughhh...
I can't resist a challenge!
Obviously he's stronger than me so there's no way I'll be able to get my hand free from his grasp.
But you can't stop me from trying!
