"Thank you for the dinner," I said to Alice and she smiled.

"You're welcome Elly. Hope you can come again for dinner, to make it official when Andrew's here," she said and I nodded.

Official. I'm officially Luke's girlfriend, my inner goddess squealed.

"See you later Ellie," Lana said, hugging my waist.

"See you later Lana," I said, hugging her back. After bid goodbyes with Alice and Lana, they both walked inside the house, leaving Luke and I at the pavement of his house.

"I'll send you home," he said.

"No, it's fine. I came here with a car actually," I said.

"Car?"

"Arthur's," I said, biting my bottom lips.

"Oh," he settled in. I stared at him and he stared at me back. We stared at each other and none of us wanted to tear our eyes away.

"I'll send you home," he said again.

"What?" I asked.

"Give me the car key," he said, held out his open palm.

"How are you going to back home?" I asked.

"I'll take Arthur's car back to my house. He's my cousin anyway," he said, shrugged. I narrowed my eyes at him before tossing the car keys on his palm. He grabbed my hand and pulled me for a kiss. How many times that we kissed for tonight? He smiled on my lips and I sighed between the kisses. He pulled off and grinned.

"Sorry. Couldn't help it. I've been imagined how it feels like to kiss you and never thought it could be this addictive," he said and I chuckled.

"You're weird Luke," I said, shooking my head. I walked to the passenger seat and slid in. Luke slid in the driver seat and I buckled up the seatbelt before we pulled off from his house.

"How's Serena?" I asked when we were on the way to my house.

"I don't know. We broke up the day you clarified that you're with Arthur and never talked since then," he said, shrugged.

"What?" I asked in surprised and he nodded. We pulled off at the driveway of my house and I unbuckled my seatbelt. I hopped off from the car and Luke followed my lead.

"Don't do that again," I said and he chuckled.

"Which one?" he asked.

"Leaving the shit out of me. That's so stupid," I said and he hugged me.
