Unstable lovers

Chapter Eight

The pizza was amazing, and so were the  cookies. Luke ate really quickly and I still hadn't finished my second slice of pizza, when he had finished his fourth.

He didn't stop talking, he was so excited and he wanted to talk to me about anything and everything. I felt overwhelmed (in a good way). People  usually stay away from me ; the 'quiet'  'nerdy' kid. Yet here I am, with this amazing and beautiful human, who doesn't treat me like an outcast. He actually wants to hang around with me and talk to me, he actually wants to get to know me, and he is so nice to me. It makes me feel really happy. Luke makes me feel really happy. I'm so so so glad I have someone like him as a friend. I can see Luke, Michael, Darren and I being a strong group together. We've always being the three musketeers, but now we're four. And that's amazing. 

"Hurry up slowcoach!" Luke says.
I laugh and he just smiles at me admiringly. I love his smile!
I find myself smiling back at him and we both get lost in each others eyes. Staring at one another.
I eventually snap out of it and look away awkwardly. The saying 'I could get lost in his eyes' just became true. I really did get lost in them. It was like I stared so deep into them that I saw the ocean.

He sat with me while I finished off my food, talking about a DVD he thinks we should watch. Then he walked over to find the DVD he had been talking about.

He then put it into the TV and joined me again back on the sofa.

The DVD started and I realised what we were watching. FINAL DESTINATION!!!

"OH MY GOD LUKE THIS IS MY FAVOURITE MOVIE EVER!!" I squealed.

"ME TOO!" Luke shrieked back excitedly.
We both began laughing, but we're soon silenced by the sound of the characters speaking.

We settled down to watch the movie.

By the end of it Luke was fast asleep. And I was close to falling asleep myself.
I decided to just sleep for a while.
I closed my eyes and drifted off into a peaceful and happy slumber. It made a change. For once I wasn't having suicidal thoughts or nightmares as I tried to sleep. I drifted off into a real sleep. And it felt amazing. I can't remember the last time I slept so well.

I don't know how long we slept. But we were woken by the sound of my phone ringing. I looked at Luke. He was now cuddled up to me, still asleep. He looked so peaceful. And I didn't want to wake him because he was cuddling me, and it was adorable.

I looked at the screen and read mikeys name.

"It's Michael," i said to Luke nudging him, before pressing answer.

"Hi, what's up?"
"Lilly it's getting late now, are you coming home. I can pick you up if you like?"
"Oh my god I'm so sorry Mikey. I fell asleep and didn't realise how late it was," I said glaring at the clock in the wall. It was 2:55 am!
"It's fine. Do you want me to get you from Lukes?"

Luke interrupted.
"Aww no please stay!" He said, holding his hand out and pressing it against my arm.
" it's a Friday so we don't have school tomorrow. Please stay!"

"Luke wants to know if I can stay?"
"What? Oooh! It's like that is it." He says smugly laughing.
"What! No Michael of course not. We're just friends oh my god!!" I say.
Luke looks at me, one eyebrow raised in confusion. I just shrug at him and carry on with the conversation.

"Well do you want me to drop you off any clothes or anything?" Mikey asks.
I love my brother. He's seriously the best brother in the world. He helps me out way too much. I mean he's willing to travel around at almost 3am just to give me some clothes. It's way to early to make him drive about.

"No it's fine. I'll sleep in the clothes I'm wearing or something. I'm not gonna make you drive around here at this time! But thanks sprout." I say.

Michael pauses for a moment before answering.
"Ok, if your sure. Have fun squirt. I'll see you tomorrow!"
"Ok bye sprout, I love you!" I say
"I Love you too squirt, have a good time with your crush!" He says laughing at himself. He then ends the call before i can object. It's true. I do really like Luke, but I didn't want Mikey knowing that, but then that's quite hard because Michael knows everything about me.

"Would your parents be ok with me staying?" I ask.
"Oh don't worry about them. They're away for a few weeks seeing family at the moment," he says, looking at the family picture above the fireplace.

"Anyway, do you wanna borrow some pajamas or something. I don't mind."
He still hasn't moved from cuddling up to me, but I wasn't going to be the one to make him move.

"Oh no. It's fine I'll be ok in these I think." I say smiling at him.

He sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Shall we sleep upstairs or down here?" He says sleepily.
"I don't mind,"
"Well we might as well go upstairs because I need to get changed," he says standing up and stretching.
I stand up and follow him out of the room and up the stairs.

He gets changed into some pajamas and flops into his bed.

I awkwardly hover in the doorway, not knowing where to go.

"I won't bite you yah know, I'm gonna go find the air bed I'll be right back." He says as he stands up and heads to a cupboard in the far corner of his room.

Moments later he comes out with a air pump and a plastic thing which I'm assuming was the bed thingy.
He sets it all up and switches in the electric air pump to blow it up.

When it's blown up he throws a pillow and a blanket at me. They catch me off guard and I fall backwards.

"Oh my god Lilly I'm so sorry! Are you ok!" Luke says running over to me.

I just lay there laughing hysterically until my stomach hurts. I can't believe I just got knocked down by a damn pillow.

Luke begins laughing as well when he sees me. He helps me up and then he goes back over to the air bed and sits down, still laughing. I then join him and sit next to him.

"Maybe we should sleep now before we laugh ourselves to death." Luke says

"Yeah good plan," I say looking at him.

He doesn't move though. He just stares at me awkwardly. But eventually he gets up and goes to lay down in his bed.

"Night Lilly,"
"Night Luke,"
"Night Lilly,"
"Night Luke,"
"Night Lilly,"
"Night Luke,"
"Night Lilly,"
"Night Luke,"

It went on like this for a while until we decided to settle down.

I tried to get to sleep. But I was either to warm or too cold. I knew Luke was awake because I had looked over at him and seen him looking at me. So i decided to just try my hardest to fall asleep.

After about 5 minutes of having my eyes closed I hear Luke sigh.

"Oh Lilly, I wish you knew,"
I began to listen more closely to his whispers.
"I like you.... I..I... I think I love you."
He says.
My heart skips a beat at those words. They were the only words I needed to hear to put a smile on my face.

I felt myself smiling and decided to roll over to face away from Luke. I didn't want him to know I heard him in case I embarrass him.

I want him to know that I like him too. I really want him to know.

After a while I fall asleep. My head filled with the happy thoughts and memories of the amazing day I've just had.
