The rest of the walk was awkward.

Usually in movies, once the guy asks you out, they will be holding hands and play with each other..

With us, it was awkward.

It was weird because we usually talked and talked until one of us needed water from talking so much.

I kicked at the stones at my feet, feeling really confused and bored.

Why did he choose me? He said that he's been thinking about me.. but, what does that mean? Is it a good way or a bad way? Is it like friends..? He could still mean it as friends but, friends don't go on dates... Do they?

Many questions ran through my mind and it was making my head spin.

"What's wrong?" I snapped out of my trance and looked at Luke.

A worried expression spread across his face and I opened my mouth to speak but, no words came out. I closed it and looked ahead of me.

"Oh, it's nothing.." I lied.

"You have been frowning for a while. Sure it's nothing" he said sarcastically, while rolling his beautiful bright blue eyes.

Have I?

"Oh.. Well, it's nothing.. It's just about school" I lied.

He looked at me, giving me the look, I-know-you-are-hiding-something.

He slightly nodded and we continued our silence until we reached my home.

I quickly sighed in relief and to see that my mom is not home yet. Even though it's way past the time she said she will get home. I checked my phone to see any messages and saw 1 unread message.

To: Eva
From: My homie (aka mom)

My homie (aka mom): I'm stuck in traffic. These damn cars won't move!! I will be home at 9. See you soon.
Love you!! <3

I laughed at the "These damn cars won't move".

Luke looked over my shoulder, feeling his hot breath against my skin, making me shiver a bit. He didn't seem to notice so he just stood there, looking at my texts.

To: My homie (aka mom)
From: Me

Okay mom!! That's fine. I just got home, so take your time.
Love you too!! <3

I put my phone in my pocket and turned around to see that Luke is 2 inches from my face. His hot breath blew against my face.

His jawline was so sharp that it could shred cheese. His hair was now a mess from running his fingers through it too much. His bright blue eyes still shining bright like a diamond. He was just.. so perfect.

I blushed and took a step back.

The back of my mind is yelling at me for a taking a step back and not kissing him right there.

I honestly don't know why I did that anyways.

"Um.. Well, it's getting pretty late" I blushed really hard. "I should head in".

He scratched at the back of his head and blushed as well.

"Um.. Yeah. It's pretty late and I'm really tired.. " he blushed and smiled. "I'm going to go sleep".

"Okay." I whispered.

He opened his arms wide and I gradually accepted his hug. I wrapped my short arms around his waist and he wrapped his long arms around my neck, bending down a little so he could hug me.

He was warm, really warm in fact. He smelled good like always and he was..perfect. I tried not to grab his face and just kiss him right there, feeling like its too early to kiss him.

We let go.

"So tomorrow at 6? I will pick you up" he smiled.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"It's a surprise" he smirked, while walking away. "Dress casual".

He waved and he walked away, leaving me there speechless.

___________________________

I closed my front door behind me and ran to the couch. I jumped on to my couch and stretched like a cat. I smiled and squealed because what happened today and what's going to happen tomorrow.

I was about to text Eva, then I realize she's probably sleeping.

Of course she's sleeping. Duh.

All of the sudden, I felt lonely. I thought to myself, who is awake right now and one of my closest friends? Calum? Michael? Ashton? They're probably sleeping right now so I shouldn't bother them.

Then an idea popped into my head.

I went to my contact list and clicked on 'My side hoe' and called her.

It rang a few times and then I heard her sleepy voice.

"Hello..?" Angelina groaned.

"Hey Angelina, how are you?"I asked. "Wait, did I wake you up? I'm so sorry".

"Nah it's okay. I was about to wake up so I can go on Tumblr and watch 5SOS videos all day" she replied.

I chuckled. I remembered that she was a fan of them too. Calum was her fave.

Angelina is one of my best friends. My second to be exact. We became friends in Primary school. She always been there for me when I was sad.

I got her liking 5SOS and she became a huge fan ever since. I don't know why I haven't told her that I know all of them. I guess I was just scared that she will judge me and shit.

I guess I will tell her now.

"Haha.. So I need to tell you something" I bit my lip, feeling sorta nervous.

"What is it?" she asked.

And then I told her. After I told her, there was silence.

"Are you..joking?" she questioned.

"No" I answered.

"It sounds like you're not joking, so I believe you" she believed.

"You do?" I muttered. "That's the first".

"I do" she responded. "I think that's so cool".

I smiled and felt super happy. When I told Eva, she started freaking out and asked if she could get an autograph.

Sometimes I feel like she is just using me because I know them.

We started talking and talking until my mom came home. I told her I had to go and hung up.

"Hey mom" I greeted my mom.

"Hey sweetie" she smiled.

I hugged her and she smiled.

"Why are you in a happy mood?" she chuckled.

"Today was a good day.. a really good day" I grinned.

And that was true.

Hope you like this chapter!! I added one of my good friends in here so shoutout to you, Angelina!! :) I lava you girl.
