"good morning ems,"

i groan and cover my eyes with the covers, why is it so bright?

"wake up come on," i turn and try to doze off, continuing my sleep

"ems i'm lonely wake up i've been awake for 2 hours now."

i huft, aw poor him. sucks i want to go back to sleep.
i decided to wake up. i'm hungry anyways.

"morning, luke." i chimed as i yawn and stretch my lifeless body "fudge, why is it so bright?"

he smiles and grabs a glass of water from the bedside table and handing it over to me "it's morning and there's this thing called sun,"

i giggle as i take the water off his hands "too early for being a sarcastic asshole."

he smiles and duck his head down, staring at the floor.

the room went silent for a minute, with luke still smiling by his own, and i'm just sitting here examining him.

"luke,"

he snaps back to reality and rubs his eye "yes?"

"nothing. you were spaced out"

"apparently it's a spreading disease," he laughs softly at his own joke

"real funny, hemmings." i get out of bed and put the water down on the table, and walk myself to the bathroom

luke stood up and went out of the room as i enter the loo.

what's consuming his thoughts? when will he open up to me? damn your thick skull.

•••

we sat dowm our eating utensils on the plate, i say, luke's pancake's are the best.

"so, what's up with yesterday?"

he glugs down the last drop of orange juice down his throat "what is up?"

"you know... the part you said 'boyfriend'." why was that awkward? it's not suppose to be awkward... i think it's not.

"uhh... it was just a uhm, self defense mechanism towards your da- i mean, dr. jones..?"

"if it really is, then it was great. thank you, by the way for doing that."

he smiles and reaches for my hand, squeezing it, by his grip it feels like he's holding on to his dear life. "it was nothing. i would do anything for you, emily hollins."

i laugh, i don't know why. the way he says my real name just feels right.

"still can't get used to the name 'emily'. sounds a bit weird after being called katherine for almost 2 years."

"oh god i just remembered something,"

"what is it?" i asked

"i remembered michael used to persuade me to meet his friend and maybe go on a date. then i asked the girl out, she said yes but didn't come. and her name was emma, aka you."

i sit there trying to remember.

oh. oh.

"yeah i remember, god sorry about that. i was under the weather... and i wasn't that keen on dating back then."

"it's okay, i got to spend my days with you now, so thats something. and we were 15, a bit too young for a blind date."

we laugh reminiscing the past. we sit there, on the kitchen stool, laughing about the memories we spent and the ones we didn't

i am genuinely happy.

"hey ems?"

it's 6pm and we spent the day doing nothing but talking. it was fun, though.

"yeah?"

"let's watch a movie. some netflix and chill."

i huft and laughed "please don't use that word you noodle."

"what word? netflix and chill?"

"yes. do you even know what it means?"

he's confused. oh god he looks cute when he's confused. wait, did i just say that?

"uh, it means you watch netflix and chill..? right?"

i giggle and move to sit next to him on the couch "you are so innocent sometimes it amazes me."

he grabs the remote and put on netflix, browsing through some movies.

"ooh pitch perfect!!!" i squeal. what? it's my favorite movie, sue me.

luke shakes his head and plays the movie, as i kept on squealing on the inside.

it's the movie's best part, riff-off. i scoot a bit closer to luke to get some warm out of this human heater.

he puts his hands around me and let me lie on his chest. his legs are on the coffee table while mine are crossed. the sofa is pretty huge for me, but luke seems like a giant sitting on this thing.

the song starts, i move my feet following the rhythm.

i mouth the lyrics, and constantly moving my shoulders and just feels like dancing.

"what are you doing"

i keep on moving and being crazy, it just caught my attention so bad!

"the songs. they're possessing me." i giggle

i can feel him shaking his head. his arm hugs me tighter and pulling me even closer to him.

"you're crazy." he says while kissing my head

"you're crazier. friends with a crazy person, insane even."

i can feel his giggly breath on my back, he lays his cheeks onto my temple.

"i don't know what i'll do without you." he mumbles.

...why did he say that?

•••
