Chapter 36:

Rosie's POV:

I am sitting on my bed, pulling on my shoes for work when Luke walks in with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. I continue to lace up my boots as he stands there in front of me. He is rocking back and forth on his feet.

"What are you doing up earlier?" I question but he just smiles at me.

"Can I help you?" I try again.

"Yes, actually," he gets down on one knee and pulls a single red rose out from behind his back.

"You better not be proposing to me, the girls won't like that!" I warn him, laughing lightly, feeling slightly nervous.

"Rosie Jane Kingsley will you make me a very happy guy and go on a date with me tonight?" he smiles hopefully.

"How do you know my full name?"

"You told me the night we were in the pizza place," he replies.

"I didn't think you would remember," I smile at the fact he remembers something so small like my full name.

"I did," he smirks. "So will you?"

I stand up from my bed, reaching out to help him up. I accept the rose and smell it before answering him. He seems panicked waiting for my answer. I pout my lips and pretend to think about my answer. I decide to answer him truthfully, instead of messing with him first.

"Of course! I would love to go on a date with you tonight!"

He stands up, places one hand on my hip and the other on my cheek as he leans down to kiss my lips. I smile into the kiss and he places his other hand on my hip. Luke begins to deepen the kiss before I pull away. I lean back to look up at him and test my hand on his chest.

"I have to go to work now," I sigh.

"It's fine. But our date. Be ready for six o'clock."

"What way do I have to dress?"

"Dress nice!"

"That is no help to me! How nice am I supposed to dress?"

"It's okay. Dani, Storm and Charlie know where you are going," he smirks.

"So if they know can I know?" I flutter my eyelashes, attempting to be flirty.

"No! It's a surprise!" he sternly replies.

"Fine."

"I'll see you later okay babe?" he kisses my lips, lightly before releasing his grip on my waist.

"See you at six," I stand on my tip toes and peck his lips. I grab my bag and leave for work.

*****

I arrive home after four o'clock. I fall onto the couch feeling absolutely wrecked from my day at work. Working from eight this morning until four felt a while lot longer than it actually was.

Taking off my shoes, I grab the blanket draped over the back of the couch and pull it up over my shoulders. I set an alarm on my phone for 4:38pm so I don't over sleep and lose time to get ready for my date with Luke. I snuggle up on the soft, comfortable couch and close my eyes. A rest is exactly what I need right now.

"GET UP NOW!!!"

I jump up off the couch out of fright and land on the floor work a thud. Looking up from my position on the floor I see my three friends looking down at me, trying to hold back their laughter. Storm extends her hand to me helping me up.
