Luke held onto my waist the whole way through the hospital and to his car. I'm not sure why though, I could walk normally...but I wasn't about to make things awkward so I let him keep it there. I think I like Luke...but I'm not entirely sure. Maybe I just like the fact that someone cares? Although he was awful to me and I'm still not entirely sure he has apologized for that.
Luke helped me sit in the front seat; even buckling my seatbelt for me. I was knocked out, not paralysed...I can do it myself. But again, I didn't argue with him. I guess he actually cared enough to make sure I was safe. He started driving towards my house but took a turning too early.
"Luke this is the wrong way!" I shouted, hopefully this would make him turn around.
"No it isn't? You said I could take you on a date if I went to sleep. And I did. So I'm taking you out on a date"
God damn it, I thought he was too drunk to remember that.
"Oh...Where are you taking me?" I didn't look at Luke, I was too busy trying to think of places he could be taking me.
"You'll see" He replied, I still didn't look at him but I could sense the smirk on his face.
I hate surprises.
After five minutes of silence Luke finally stopped the car, telling me that we were here.
The only problem though? There was nothing here.
"It's just a short walk. We'll be there in no time" He said, sensing my confusion. We began walking down the bare path, leading to a small lake. It was abandoned; apart from a small cafe on the other side to us. I was staring out into the water, admiring how beautiful the ducks and swans looked swimming in sync when I felt Luke intertwine his fingers with mine. I quickly looked down at our hands, then at his face.
"Is this okay?" He asked, his cheeks turning a sweet shade of pink. I nodded my head and quickly looked back at the lake. I didn't want Luke to see me blush. I don't want him knowing he has this affect on me. We walked all the way around the Lake, stopping a few times to take pictures of the sky, or the birds, or each other.
I don't think Luke knew I saw him take photos of me. It was as if he was trying to be subtle about it, but failed miserably. He would take photos as I was feeding the birds, or as I was looking up at the sky. It was adorable. He was taking pictures of me to remember this day.
I decided to do the same. I pulled my phone out and took a sneaky photo of Luke as he was playing with his lip ring. I was scared he would see me and get annoyed so I quickly put my phone back in my pocket, slightly laughing to myself.
"What?" He grinned at me.
"Nothing! I'm hungry, shall we get some food?"
"I thought you'd never ask!" I laughed at his childish response. He grabbed my hand and practically ran to the cafe.
This boy.
I sat at a table waiting for Luke to bring back what he described as the 'best freaking food ever'. I was about to pull my phone out and look at the photo I had taken of Luke, but he sat next to me before I had a chance to.
"Here you go, I know you'll love it"
He passed me this plate of god knows what. I'm not even sure how to describe it to you. It was like a cake, but not? I have no idea.
"What the hell is it?"
"It's a flan Sarah! Have you never had one?"
"Clearly not!" I laughed, causing him to blush.
Why do you have to be so cute.
I cut a small bit of the flan up and placed it in my mouth. Luke stared at me with a huge grin on his face and questioning eyes.
"You're right, this is amazing!" He seemed please with himself for knowing I would like it. He began eating his as well. We had a conversation throughout the whole time we were there; talking about anything and everything.
"I'm really glad you gave me this chance Sarah" He blurted out, looking down at his hands.
"So am I. Turns out you're not exactly the asshole I thought you were" He laughed at this comment although he knew it wasn't meant to be funny.
"Well it's getting late, should we start heading back?"
No
"Um yeah, sure"
He paid for the food and drinks and we slowly made our way back to the car. Luke, once again, had a firm grip on my waist. But this time, it felt different...as if it actually meant something.
We soon approached his car and got in. He started driving when his phone started vibrating. Him, being the responsible person he is, tried to answer the text message whilst on the freaking highway.
"Luke don't be stupid. Pass it here!"
He passed me his phone and I unlocked it, after he told me the password obviously. He told me to text Calum that he was on his was home. And to answer the text message, that happened to be from his mum, saying that he was driving.
I text his mum first and waited for her reply. A simple 'ok' was all that he received, but it was enough. I began typing the text message to Calum when I saw that the previous messages between them two were from half an hour ago. When we were at the cafe.
I know I shouldn't have done this, but I did
I scrolled up, seeing the messages exchanged between the two.
My heart almost stopped beating when I came across a photo that Luke had taken of me and sent to Calum. The message underneath read;
'She's so perfect Cal, I don't think I can leave her for tour:-('
I think Luke heard my heart break because he quickly turned to see if I had sent the message. I quickly finished the message and sent it, locking Luke's phone and placing it on my lap.
The rest of the journey was silent. Luke knew something was wrong, but he didn't say anything. He parked outside of my house and I quickly jumped out, leaving his phone on the chair. He followed me out of the car, grabbing my wrist and turning me around.
Before I could pull away, his lips were pressed to mine. His warm lips moulded perfectly with mine. His lips were so plump and soft and his cold, hard lip ring was driving me crazy. I had to pull away before this went any further right?
Wrong.
He pushed me up against the wall, eliminating any space that was previously between us. I felt his hand slowly rub against my hip as his other was still firmly on my neck. His body was pressed against mine and I will tell you now.
It felt right.
But that's why it was so wrong.
"Luke..." I mumbled as he pressed his lips to my neck.
"Luke you need to stop" He pulled away slowly, his face red with embarrassment.
"Why? Did you not like it?" I could see the worry in his eyes and it upset me
"Luke you're going on tour...I don't want to get too attached to you if you're just going to leave"
Damn Sarah, really let that one slip out didn't you.
