You Can't Save Me..

Chapter 26

Ashton's POV

Today is me and Luke's date. I'm so exciting. I got up this morning and went on my run and everything. Then I came home and made breakfast and got ready.

Now it's 9:30 and I'm sitting on the couch in my black skinnies and a nice-ish black and gray v-neck sweater. He told me casual, so yunno.

I sat with all the kids until exactly 10, when there was a knock at the door. I stood up, grabbing my phone, keys, and wallet, saying bye, and walking to meet Luke.

I open the door to see Luke smiling wide with flowers in his hands. I smile back, taking the flowers and pulling him in for a hug.

Minutes later we're in Luke's car, driving off to who knows where.

"Luuukkke, where are we going?" I whine, once again.

"It's a surprise!!" He says, smirking at me. "Besides, I like seeing you squirm!" He says jokingly.

"Jerk." I say back with a laugh.

"Here, put this around your eyes." He says, pulling a bandana from the back seat.

I smile, tying it around my eyes so I can't see anything. Only minutes later, the car stops and Luke climbs out, running over to my side and helping me out, refusing to let me remove the blindfold.

I step out into the cold with a smile on my face. After a short walk, Luke removes the blindfold, yelling, "Surprise!!"

When I open my eyes, I see the park. He has my body pointed in the direction of the swings. I smile wide before taking off toward them. "Beat you there!!" I scream.

Due to his long legs, he caught up to me easily, lifting me off the ground and running to the swings once again.

Once reaching the swings, he sets me down on one of the swings and starts pushing me.

We enjoy the park for a couple hours before it's finally around 12 and Luke says he wants lunch. I cringe, but put on a smile and follow him anyway.

"Babe, I know you don't want to, but you have to eat just a little, okay? You went on your run this morning, right? And we just ran around the park for like 2 hours? You're not gonna put on any weight." He says once we are sitting in the car.

I simply nod and smile, not wanting to ruin this perfect day.

We went to a small café and ate. After about an hour, Luke checks his phone. "Oh shit! We're gonna be late for part 2!" He says before dragging me out of the building, thanking the hostess on our way out.

We get back in the car and he hands me the blindfold once more. Only minutes later we stop again. This time when he removes the blindfold, I see the movie theater and a smirking Luke.

I chuckle, remembering what I said in the kitchen yesterday. Then I follow him into the building. After picking a random movie, we take our seats in the back and wait for it to get dark.

There were only a couple other people in the theater and they were all sitting toward the front. Luke takes my hand, only 3 minutes into the movie.

I turn toward him and he immediately captures my lips with his own, pushing his tongue into my mouth. I happily comply, returning the favor.

He pulls me into his seat and onto his lap and moans softly as I slide onto his lap.

Only minutes later I pull back, realizing were in a public place. I chuckle to myself before I decide I don't care.

We make out on and off throughout the movie, and honestly, I don't have any idea what was going on on the screen. All I remember from the 2 hours we spent in that room is Luke's lips and hands all over me.

It was amazing to pretend we had a normal relationship. Today has been unforgettable so far. I couldn't ask for a better boyfriend. He has made my life so much better in the short weeks I have known him.

After the movie Luke and I went to dinner. It was nothing fancy, but it was perfect. I don't want fancy. I feel out of place with fancy.

When we finally left the poor people at the restaurant alone, it was 10. We made our way back to Luke's house where we spent the rest of the night talking and staring into each other's eyes.

I'm not sure when we fell asleep last night, but I woke up Monday morning, letting Luke know I have to go home before school.

He groans, but crawls out of bed anyway.

"One more week, then we get 2 weeks off." I say, smiling at Luke.

"I love you." He says, moving closer and moving his hands to my waist.

"I love you to." I say, resting my head on his chest. And I mean it. I never thought I believed in love, but Luke taught me what it was. He showed me that it was real.

He leaves a kiss on top of my head, before we pull apart and make our way to his car.
