I saw Luke and he waved at me. He threw his arm around my shoulder "Hey babe. You ready to go?" I nodded before saying "Don't call me babe."

He opened the door of his room, letting me in. I saw band posters on the wall and a rack of vinyls and a record player next to it. The room was clean, which surprised me. I looked at his bed and the one next to it. They were both black but looks comforter looked softer.

"My roommate is Mikey, you know the one with the Green hair?" I nodded remembering him in the group of boys Luke was friends with. He closed the door and sat down next to me.
"Alright then, let's get down to business." He said and I took my book and supplies out, spreading them out on the floor.

We worked on the shapes of the DNA and then took a break. I looked at the time and it was already 4:30.
I got a text from Charlotte.

Char slays: Hey where are you?
Queen Ava: I'm at Lukes, I have to do this project for science.
Char slays: Be careful, and don't come home too late!
Queen Ava: yes mother.

I looked up to see Luke had moved closer to me. I tried to scoot away but I was trapped by the wall and him.

He looked at me casually and said "There's this party on Friday, wanna go with me and the lads?" His accent was really nice but I didn't fall for it, boys with accents may be hypnotic but I'm not gonna fall for his tricks.

"I don't know, I don't really want to go." I said hoping he'd drop it. I looked down at my sweater and played with the sleeves.

"Just come for a little while and hang out with us?" I didn't want to go, I didn't want to spend time with him, I didn't want to talk to him.

"I'll ask Charlotte. If she comes with me, then I'll go." He smiled and nodded, pleased with my answer.

I was reading more about the DNA model we were working on, while Luke kept cutting out pieces. Blink-182 was playing in the background. We talked about music and found that we had the same music taste and other interests. I found out he was a music major and he found out I was an art major.

It was already 7:20 when I looked out the window and saw rain. This can not be happening. I was about to get up and like Mother Nature knew what was going on, the rain started pouring. Why me?

I texted Charlotte, telling her I would be on my way home and lost track of time. The thing was that our dorm building was 2 blocks away from Lukes. I had no means of transportation and Luke said Michael had taken his car to go somewhere with the rest of his friends. He trusted them so he didn't mind.

Queen Ava: I will be home soon, I have to find a way to get there though.
Char slays: I don't know... it's raining really hard and I don't think it's stopping anytime soon.
Queen Ava: Then what am I supposed to do?
Char slays: I hate to say this but, I think you need to stay at Luke's.

I almost screamed when I saw what Charlotte had suggested. I did not want to stay in a room with a guy and especially this one. Like Luke had known what Charlotte had said, he asked "There's no way of you getting home so, just stay here for the night."

I contemplated what to do. I can either stay a night at Luke's or run the 2 blocks, get soaking wet and catch a cold. Quite frankly, I wanted the second option. He handed me a black band shirt and grey sweatpants. I took them, walking into the bathroom they had connected to their room and changed. The sweatpants were way to big so I had to role the bottoms up and pull the string of the waistband as tight as possible. The shirt was really big on me also and one side kept falling of my shoulder.

I stepped out to see Luke shirtless, lying in his bed, with his phone in his hand. I froze at the sight of him shirtless. I didn't want to be staying the night and now he was shirtless. I walked to my bag and put my clothes in it. Luke looked at me and patted the bed, signaling for me to lay down with him.

I had no other choice because the floor was cold. I silently laid down on the edge of the bed, as far away from him as possible. "I don't bite, babe." I knew he was smirking at me.

I relaxed a bit more and then once I was about to fall asleep I heard a loud clap of thunder. I jumped from the sudden noise, see I'm not scared of storms, I quite like them. It's the life threatening ones that scare me.

I felt Luke's arm go around my waist and I was pulled towards him. I looked up at him to see his eyes closed. I put my head on the pillow and he whispered "Go to sleep babe, you're safe." My eye twitched at the fact that he called me babe again. I let it go because I didn't want to go to sleep angry.

***

I woke up and I felt a warmth on my head. I looked up and saw Luke's face. I panicked but then remembered the storm and how I had to stay the night.

I looked at how his arm was around me and my head was on his chest. I couldn't help but blush from how close we were. I've had only 1 boyfriend before but he never did anything like this, he was very distant and it lasted only 2 weeks. I felt his breathing quicken and he stirred.

A raspy voice broke the silence "Morning babe."
