I woke up the next morning in lukes arms. To say it was the best sleep I had in the long time was an understatement. My head was in his bare chest while his arm was around my waist and his thumb was still on the one spot on my hip when he was rubbing comforting circles the previous night. Luke's hair was sticking up in every direction and he looked so adorable right now but I needed to go home. My parents are probably worried no doubt I'll get yelled at for sleeping in a boys apartment. "Lukeeee" I dragged out his name playing with his hair. "Hmm" he moaned sleepily tightening his grip around me.  "Good morning beautiful" his voice was raspy. "Morning Luke" I kissed his lips. "Babe I have to go. My parents are going to kill me and I have to go to work" I said getting out of his grip. I looked at my phone seeing I had 20 missed calls, 10 from mom and 10 from dad. I threw my head back in worry. "Is everything alright" Luke got up and walked to where I was wrapping an around my waist. Even a simple move like that make my heart swell. "Look" I handed him my phone and out my head in my hands getting extremely worried now. It was now 8:45 and I had to go to work soon. I took my phone from Luke and called my work. "Hello, this is Katie" I said trying to sound sick. "I can't come in today my throat is killing me and I can barely talk and this cold is terrible" Luke started giggling and I had to hold back my laugh. "Okay thank you for understanding, I should be in by Tuesday" "thank you, bye" I said sickly. I hung up the phone and I couldn't help but laugh. "Why did you do that" he asked wrapping his arms around my waist. "I want to spend more time with you" I wrapped my arms around his neck and I kissed him.  And that kiss sent sparks and butterflies through me. "But right now I have to go to my parents and I'll text you when they leave" "can I take you to your apartment" he sondes shy. "Yeah" I blushed. We stepped in the elevator. I was still wearing lukes clothes which I didn't care about right now. We got to my door and we shared one more kiss before we left. "Text me when you find out what they say" he squeezed my hand. "Okay" I kissed him again. I love his kisses. "Good luck babe" "thanks" I kissed him one last time before dropping his hand so I could open the door. "Katie Marie Evans where have you been" I saw my mother at the kitchen table. "I was with Luke, he took me to the fair and then we went back to his and watched movies" I was quite nervous. "Where does Luke live"  "one floor above us" I smiled. "Has he kissed you yet" I blushed mad. "Yes" I couldn't stop smiling and thinking about him now. "Are you guys officially together" "yeah" I smiled again. "After I shower can I go back to lukes, I don't work today" I was hoping for a yes. "Yeah, but please be back by dinner. We have money to go out tonight and your father is getting his pay check today, maybe you can bring Luke. But don't say anything we have to see how much money he's getting today and if we have enough for the four of us." My mom sounded sad. I know how she feels. I would want to treat my daughters boyfriend to dinner as well but we're so tight on money it's difficult. "Okay thank you. I'm glad we're going out, it's going to be nice" I smiled. I hoped in the shower leaving lukes clothes on my bed. After the nice refreshing shower I changed into leggings and an oversized blue sweater and I wore a pair of black shiny doc marrtens which I saved 2 months of money for. I was dying for a pair like 2 ish summers ago.  I texted Luke to tell him I was coming. 

To Luke: hey babe, I'm on my way to yours (: 

From Luke: yay :-) are you hungry by any chance? Want to go to the ihop on the west side and get pancakes? 

Omg I haven't had those in forever

To Luke: yes of course :D

I got in the elevator and it was a short ride up and I ran to his door. I was so excited at the moment. I love pancakes but I love going over the Golden Gate Bridge. It's so pretty. I guess Luke heard me coming because he had the door open before I even got there. "Someone's excited" he giggled grabbing my hand and locking the door behind him. "I am, I haven't had pancakes in forever" I squeezed his hand. 

*skipping the car journey*

For a Sunday morning at around 10:30 it wasn't all that busy. We both got chocolate chip pancakes and they were the best things ever. The bill was placed on the table and I went to get it but Luke got it first. "Babe, please let me pay" I begged. I hated him paying for everything. "No it's my treat, Katie" he placed his card in the little book and put it in the middle. So when he was on his phone I swiftly grabbed the bill and the put my card in there. 30$ isn't much for breakfast. "Baby, what did you do" he whined. "I payed because I wanted to" I smiled at him. "Thank you" he reached a crossed the table for my hand. 

After breakfast we went to the beach. It was cool and cloudy out and wasn't bad to get walking. I really had fun today. And I hope my dad gets enough in his pay check so he can join us for dinner. As Luke and I walked hand and hand on the beach I got a phone call from my mom. "Hello" "dad got his paycheck and I can gladly say we have enough for you to bring Luke. His check was 350$ it was an early holiday bonus" she sounded thrilled. "Thank you so much, what time is dinner" "tell Luke to meet us at our place at 6:30" 

"Luke do you want to go out to dinner with me and my family" I squeezed his hand. "Yes, of course baby, what time do you want to meet at" he rubbed circles on the back of my hand with his thumb. "6:30 at my place" I stopped walking to face him, wrapping my arms around his neck. "Thanks for coming Luke" his arms went to my waist. "Anything for you baby girl" and he kissed me ever so passionately.
