Sorry for the late update but i am crazy focused on school at the moment. I have all AP classes and have been really focusing on school work!!! I will try and keep updating faster.

This chapter is dedicated to lukeybbydylan for being awesome and voting on my story. And also for being as muke af as i am!! Go follow her!!! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Why don't you go get ready Eva, i will clean up the dishes for you," Luke tells me.

"Thanks."

I make my way upstairs and turn a right down the hallway and reach my room. The beach might get really cold so i should probabaly wear a sweater and bring a jacket or sweatshirt. I open up my closet witch is actually neat and organized for once. I grab my black sweater and put it on with my ripped blue jeans. I grab my #baller sweatshirt and put on my tan combat boots.

When i get downsairs, my parents and Luke are having what seems to be a deep conversation. I decide to stay outside the dinning room and ease drop a little.

" I never though you would ask!" My mom practically shouts to Luke.

I am so confused. Why would Luke need to ask my parents something important?

"We definitely support you guys, but remember always what i told you." My dad says sternly.

"Trust me, it won't be hard."

I wait a few seconds before i walk in so they don't think i heard anything. I hug my parents goodbye and Luke and i grab everything we need for the beach.

It is alrady 7:30 because we left 20 minutes late and we have only been driving for 10. I keep finding myself staring at Luke. His perfect jawline, his scruff, his perfect hair, and those gorgeous eyes. Everytime he looks my way i look out the window to my right. Everything through the window isn't as beautiful as Luke though, so i go back to staring.

"Why do you keep spacing out penguin?" Luke questions.

Oh god, he noticed me staring.

"Umm... I'm just tired," i stutter.

"Well then let's turn up some music so you don't fall a sleep."

The rest of the ride we listen to a mix of Good Charlotte, Nickleback, All Time Low, Green Day, and of course 5sos. It is moments like this that i find myself feeling complete. Spending time with Luke makes me feel like i have my life together, when i really don't. I'm struggling to keep A's in my classes, but all of them are AP. I really need to get into a good college and if basketball doesn't work out, i need a possible academic scholarship to fall back on. There is no way i can go to college without a scholarship. Spending time with Luke let's me forget about all of my stress and just live a little.

"Hey Eva, we're here. Man you have been really spacey today, is there something you want to talk about?"

"No, I'm just tired like i said before."

"Alright, but you do know you can come to me for anything penguin."

"I know Lukey," i exclaim with a smirk.

"God i love that nickname, and you sound really cute when you say it."

I cant help but smile like crazy while we finish unloading the car. I have two blankets and some snacks. Of course i also packed my Polaroid and my Nikon. I love photography, but not as much as music and basketball. We both make our way to the shore and it is gorgeous. We are the only ones out here for the moment. I go ahead and place the blankets down so we can sit on one of them. Luke lets me have the other one to keep myself warm, which is really sweet.

I get out my Nikon and start taking pictures of the beach but then switch to Luke. He gets frustrated when i take alot of pictures of him, but i still do it. This time though, he doesn't seem to mind. I put my camera down and just look out to the distant ocean.

"It is so perfect here," i mutter.

"Just like you," Luke states.

I turn and look at him with a confused look. Did he just call me perfect.

"I think you have a different definition of perfect than i do," i chuckle.

"Really? Eva you are seriously drop dead gorgeous. Your eyes are a beautiful golden brown and i find myself getting lost in them, you have two of the cutest little dimples when you smile, and you basically look like a freaking model. I could go on and on about you. You are the most athletic person i know, you get straight A's even though you're in AP classes. I can barely get 2 A's and im in average classes. You also aren't afraid to be yourself and you are passionate about so many things. Eva, trust me when i say you're perfect, because you are."

By now i have tears just flowing down my checks. That is honestly the nicest thing anyone has said to me. I can't believe he care so much, even though we are best friends.

"I wanted to do this since i was in third grade. When i first met you." Luke stated.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you remember what i said when you asked me 2 years ago, why i have never had a girlfriend?"

"Ya, you said you were waiting for a certain person." I tell him, remembering that day. I had only been dating Josh (the guy that cheated on me) a week.

"Well Eva, you're that certain person. I knew since the day i first met you, that i would fall for you so i need to ask you something. Eva, will you be my girlfriend?"

I find myself not being able to make any words come out of my mouth and i start crying just like before.

I finally find a way to speak, "Of course Luke, i have been dreamig about you asking me since the first day i met you, but i never thought you would ever feel the same way."

"Well i do and I'm glad i moved from Australia and met you. No one could ever make me feel the way you do."

After about an hour on the beach, Luke and i make our way home. We talk about anything and everything the ride home, hand in hand the whole time. When we get to my house, my parents are already in bed and i decide Luke can sleep over since it's almost 1 in the morning.

Luke and i have just walked into my room. I take off my sweatshirt and just put on some athletic shorts while he's in the bathroom. I go ahead and go to bed, exhausted from today. When he walks in, he doesn't hesitate to lay right by me and wrap his arm around me, pulling me in close to his chest. It is so comforting to be close to him. I have never felt so safe and happy. Luke has made my life so much better, he means everything to me.

"I love you penguin."

"I love you Lukey."
