My Best Friend ♡ LRH

21. This is so Weird

BROOKE

I was woken up by my phone ringing loudly right in my ear and groaned. Who was calling me so damn early in the morning? Well, actually, it feels like I've been asleep for days, so it could really be night time or the middle of the afternoon and I just didn't know. Regardless, I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes before looking to see who was calling me. Luke. "Hello?" I groggily answered.

"Hi pretty person!" Luke chirped and I could basically hear the smile on the other line of the phone.

"Hi Lukey," I yawned and stretched my body before sitting up and resting my back and my head against my headboard. I still thought that it was so weird that Luke and I had officially and non-officially discussed our feelings about each other with each other. I knew for a fact that I loved him and he knew for a fact that I loved him, but we left it at that. We didn't talk about a relationship or making anything official, because we just wanted us in the beginning with no drama or no labels. That's one of the best and the worst things about Luke and I. We always want the same thing.

"Did I just wake you up?"

"Yeah," I yawned once again and looked at the clock that was hanging on the wall in my room, seeing that it was already two in the afternoon. "I was at the hospital all night visiting my dad with my mom, Beth, and Brock. So I didn't get much sleep last night. Hence the reason why I am waking up in the middle of the day."

"I'm so sorry, B. That sucks. I hope you're okay," Luke sighed sadly. Luke and the rest of his family were very upset when they found out my dad is dying of cancer. Liz cried for probably two hours. We're like family to each other, so it makes sense about why they were so distraught when they found out. "'M sorry I woke you up you can go back to sleep if you want to."

"No it's okay, I should probably be awake anyway. What's up?"

"Well I was just wondering if you wanted to come over and take a nap with me."

I laughed loudly shook my head at how stupid but cute Luke is. Only he would wake me up by calling me, apologize and then tell me to go back to bed, and then ask me to come over and take a nap with him after I told him I should wake up anyway. That's the funnies thing I've ever heard. "I'll be over in five minutes."

I ended the call and got out of my bed with a smile on my face. I brushed my teeth quickly and changed from a pair of overly huge sweatpants to a pair of leggings and an overly huge sweatshirt. I slid on some black flip flops, even though it was starting to get chilly out. It was the middle of October, so some days it's cold and some days it's really nice out. I didn't bother doing my makeup since it's just Luke and I would be going right back to sleep anyways.

I got into my car, not bothering to say goodbye since I was the only person that was home. Which confused me. But then again, I slept for over seventeen hours so I was confused by pretty much everything at this point. I quickly drove to Luke's house, parked, and turned my car off before walking up to his front door. I didn't bother to knock since I never usually knock, I just let myself right in like I own the place.

I made my way up the stairs and happily entered Luke's bedroom to find him under his covers, looking as if he was cuddling himself. It was the cutest sight I have ever seen and I wanted to take a picture, but I wanted more to crawl into his bed and cuddle with him. I laughed and slipped my flip flops off, dropped my purse on the floor, and crawled into Luke's bed next to him. His arms automatically reached out for me and they were pulling me into his body as fast as possible.

As my eyes were fluttering shut and I was falling into another deep sleep, Luke hummed happily and sleepily in my ear. "Love you, B."

-

We both woke up three hours later and were now sitting on top of his covers- since it was hot- and watching some stupid show on TV that neither of us liked. I was laying with my head on his chest and his hand on my waist while his thumb caressed the skin on my hipbone; I realize how weird this is. Luke- my best friend- and I together? I never in one million years thought this would ever happen. But I'm really happy it did happen because Luke makes me happier than Blake or any other guy has ever made me.

"What are you thinking about?" Luke asked me quietly.

"Just how weird this whole things is."

"A good weird or a bad weird?"

"A good weird. Definitely a good weird." I smiled and sat up so I was facing Luke who also had a huge smile on his face. I leaned over and kissed him lightly, but he had different plans with the kiss. His hand went to the back of my head and he pulled my body closer to his, so I was on top of his lap. I put my legs on either side of him and locked my fingers in his slightly curly hair. I sighed in content into our kiss and felt my body melt into his. It felt so weird kissing Luke but so right and so fucking nice at the same time.

"Hey, Luke-" we were interrupted by Liz walking in Luke's room without knocking and jumped away from each other as quickly as we possibly could. I never thought once in my life that Liz could ever possibly walk in on Luke and I. She doesn't knock and I have learned that from personal experience. Every time I take a shower at the Hemmings household I always get dressed in Luke's room while he would take a shower in the guestroom. Liz has accidentally seen me naked probably ten times. "Oh my, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt! And thank God I'm interrupting once when Brooke isn't naked!" Liz laughed loudly.

"Jesus mother," Luke mumble and pulled my arm so I was leaning on the side of his body again. Luke knows all about his mother walking in on me naked after showering. It makes both of us cringe.

"Is this... Um... Are you guys finally together?"

"Well not officially,but... I, uh, guess so?"

"Oh my Lanta! This is so exciting! I always knew you two would be perfect together," Liz gushed with a very happy grin on her face. I couldn't help at her excitement about us two. I knew she would be okay with it, but I never knew she actually wanted us to be together. "This is just so lovely."

"Yeah..." Luke mumbled. "So, anyways, what did you need?"

"Oh I was just wondering what you were doing in here, but now I know," Liz winked, causing a blush to rise on my face and also on Luke's face. "I'll let you get back to it. Use a condom!"

Liz laughed loudly at herself and left Luke's room, shutting the door behind her. I couldn't help but laugh at Liz and her craziness. But it was a good crazy. "You know, I've always been jealous that my mom has walked in on you naked and I never have."

"Luke!" I laughed loudly and smacked his chest. He laughed as he was joking, but I knew he was serious. I've always secretly wanted to see Luke naked since I've heard that he has a big dick. A girl I used to be semi friends with always told me how great having sex with Luke is. I've always secretly been envious of her for always having sex with Luke. I think that's when I started developing feelings for him, but I always pushed them to the side and denied them.

"Hey Brooke? On a more serious note; can I ask you something."

"Sure,"

"Will you be my girlfriend?" I definitely was not expecting Luke to ask me that. I bit my shit eating smile back and decided I wanted to mess with him for a little. Just because I know he'll get a little pissed off and it'll be sexy.

"Hm..." I tapped my chin and sat all the way up so I was facing Luke and sat on his lap. "I think you'll have to give me a few days to think about that."

"Oh shut the fuck up," Luke rolled his eyes with a smile and smashed his lips against mine. I laughed against his mouth, causing him to laughed as well and our teeth kept hitting each other, but we didn't care. All we cared about in that moment was us two and how we finally figured out our feelings and that we're genuinely happy and carefree with each other. And that's something I have always wanted. Something I have always wanted with Luke.
