Act's Of Love: A Lemma Fic

Singing

Emma's POV

I pulled my shirt over my head, pondering about what kind of things would happen when me and Luke met up. I knew that we were going to just walk around the main town centre for a while before going back to his house, yet surely something cool was going to happen. Luke was just a cool person if I was being totally honest. I also wanted to talk about random crap to him to get my mind off from what happened yesterday between me and Amanda. I still couldn't believe it happened. I never wanted to bring it up again...I never wanted to bring this stupid thing up again. It just didn't make any sense to me whatsoever! She wanted me to go out with Luke so badly, so much so that she signed me up to his play without my consent whatsoever. Why would she want me to go out with Luke even though she had a crush on me? Wouldn't she try to stop me going out with him? Isn't that what you did with the crushes? See? It didn't make any sense! Sometimes I really didn't get Amanda...Sure, she was weird, but she wasn't this strange. The only way that she wanted me to go out with Luke was because she only developed a crush on me recently. It would make sense, after all. She was a demisexual, so maybe she was a demiromantic as well! I just wished it never happened...I really did wish that it didn't happen at all. There was always some sort of stress in my life...I just got into the play and was relaxed with that, and now I was freaking out over the fact that my friend had a crush on me, and I didn't like her back! Ugh...

Sighing, I grabbed my phone, stuffed it into my pocket, and walked down the stairs. I just wanted to get to town, meet up with Luke, and pretend like none of this stuff with her was happening. If she was back in school on Monday I could just causally ask her if she remembered anything while she was on morphine. Knowing how she acted on pills, she would probably say no. Around a year or so ago, she got really ill and had to take these massive, bright purple pills for two months straight. When I went to her house to visit her, she was so loopy that she was just blurting random crap out. I hoped it was that. I wanted her talk of having a crush on me to be nothing more than just a stupid sentence that came out from her mouth. I hoped that was the case. I yelled out a goodbye to my Dad before opening the door, stepping outside, and pulling the hood of my coat over my head. I put in my earphones, turned on some music from the small playlist that I had on my phone, and started to make my way towards the town centre. I wondered if I was leaving too early or not. We planned to meet up at eleven, yet it was currently half-past ten. It would take five full minutes to get to town with the route that I was taking...How long would I be waiting around for? What if I looked utterly creepy while I was hanging around a random shop, waiting for him to arrive? Ugh, it didn't matter. As long as he actually showed up, then it would all be fine. 

I got to town, stood outside one of the brightest and most colourful shops that was in the entire place, and checked the time on my phone. As it turns out, I had walked a lot faster than I thought I was. There was a full twenty-eight minutes before it was eleven. Even though that was the case, I couldn't help but get nervous at the thought that he had left or abandoned me. What if he had the same idea as me, came here early, thought that I wasn't meeting up with him, and left? What if he had changed the time that we were meeting up and I hadn't gotten the text yet? I pulled my phone out of my pocket again, opened it up, and went onto my messages. I hadn't got any new ones for four whole hours. God, where was he? I leaned up against the brightly coloured wall, closed my eyes, and tried to force my heart to stop beating so damn quickly. It was beating so fast that I felt as if I had just ran twenty-million marathons. Where was he? I checked the time again. Fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes before the clock struck eleven. Okay...He had to be here soon, right? He had to be! I took a deep breath, switched off my phone, and slipped it back into my pocket again. I just had to remain calm and collected. As long as I was calm and collected, everything would be fine. I closed my eyes, ran my fingers through my hair, and tried to focus on something that wasn't Amanda telling me that, for some odd reason, she had a crush on me, or the idea that Luke had totally ignored me.

"Hello!" My heart race sped up to a million miles a millisecond as my body felt like a shock wave had just shot through it. My hair when flying all over my face, only making me panic more. I ripped my hood off, lifted my head up, and desperately tried to pull my fringe from out of my face as I looked over at where the sound was coming from. Standing near me was the person that I had been waiting for. Luke. I quickly finished brushing my hair from out of my face before standing completely upright. Why did he have to scare me like that? Then again I wasn't paying any attention to my surroundings whatsoever. "Hey there, Emma! Looks like my little greeting woke you up, huh?" Even though he almost gave me a heart attack, I couldn't help but chuckle. 

"Yeah, I'm good. Well, apart from the fact that you almost gave me a freaking heart attack! Thanks for that, by the way." I was kinda angry, yet my smile shot through my anger. "Anyway, where are we going? I'm starving!" He patted me on my shoulder and laughed. 

"We're going to Starbucks. Not the best place to get food, but hey! It's better than eating human flesh! Unless you are a cannibal. In which case, then I don't know many places we could go." I laughed again. I quickly realised that I hadn't felt this happy for a long, long time. It was so strange! We carried on joking all the way to the popular coffee shop that, at this time of the year, was gaining popularity due to their Winter-Themed drinks. I hadn't had a proper Starbucks drink in my entire life, so I was kinda looking forward to it all. The most adventurous that I have ever been in a Starbucks is ordering extra whipped cream on the top of my Hot Chocolate. Yeah...I'm the most adventurous person in the entire world. 

We walked past through the large, glass doors of the building and made our way up to the counters. There were so many options that I had no idea what to choose. Dammit...I looked in front of me. There were only two more people left and then me and Luke had to order. Fucking hell, what the heck was I supposed to choose? If only I had more money to come here more often, then I would at least have a basic understanding of the good stuff on the menu. There was one person in front of us. Okay...okay. I just had to stay calm. Surely I could choose something good, right? The only person in front of us took their drink, turned on their heel, and walked out of the shop. Fuck. It was our turn and I still had no idea of what I should choose. Luke stepped up to the counter, looked at the menu, and then ordered a 'Gingerbread Latte'. The guy that was behind the counter then looked over at me, waiting for what I was going to say. My heart started to pound again as I looked up and down the menu, having no idea what to order. Luke then spoke up, saving me from any more embarrassment. He ordered me a 'Christmas Cookie Dough' drink. I had no idea what it was, but it sounded absolutely divine. 

It didn't take long for the drinks to arrive. Even though we were sitting in the restaurant, they still gave us the bright red, Christmas-themed cups. As basic as it sounded, I loved these things. I loved how they looked, how the drinks seemed to taste more spectacular in them, and just everything about them. They were just plain wonderful! I took my mug, thanked the guy, paid the money, and went to sit down in one of the booths that was right by the window. Sure, a horrible draft was coming through the cracks in it, yet it still felt cosy. Christmas music was gently playing throughout the shop, the smell of cinnamon was wonderful, and I had a possible, brand new best friend sitting opposite me. Even though we had only been with each other for half an hour, I knew that today was going to become the best day that I had so far this year.
