Alex P.O.V.
-----------------------------------------------------

I sit with my head leaned back on the couch with my eyes close while Luke and Gus play some video game named GTA I think. Its a car game that's all I know, something taps my shoulder causing me to left up and open my eyes. I look over to my right and see Luke holding two water bottles offing me one. Smiling as I take it from him, I open and Luke takes a seat next to me taking a sip from his water bottle.

he laughs at Gus who cusses out the tv when his car falls off a high way bridge, I giggle my smile now showing my teeth. Luke relaxes back against the couch turning to me and laying his arm back against the back of the love seat as he asks "So what is Alex short for?" I tuck my left leg underneath me as I turn resting my back against the arm rest and say "Alexandria" I take another drink from my water bottle closing it and setting it on the floor sitting back up looking at Luke, he smiles " I really like that, would you care if I called you that instead?" I smile and think about it then say " I'd like that no one calls me that unless I'm in trouble I think it would be nice."

"Okay then, Alexandria how old are you if don't mind me asking." Luke asks I smile giggling a little than say "no I don't mind hehe, uh I'm sixteen I turn 17 next month on the 8th." Luke smiles looking over at Gus playing the game then back to me, "hmm were not that far apart in age you know that? I turn 20 the month after next on the 5th." "So your only three years and one month older then me.." I say leaning forward on my knees being flirty "But come on someone like you cant possibly be single and so happens that you are why would you even be interested in me?"

Luke chuckles sitting up straighter resting his other arm on the arm rest behind him as he says " well I am single and want to know a secret?" I nod my head slowly getting lost in his raspy voice and beautiful eyes. He leans closer to me his lips inches from my ear his collar bone even closer to my lips and how very tempting it is to kiss it but I just look up swallowing and lick my lips as he whispers," you're more beautiful then you give your self credit for sweet heart." He pulls back his lips hovering mine as my heart bounds in my ears hanging on to ever word he says, "And maybe one day I can be the lucky guy to show you just how much that is, because some one like me would be stupid to think you were anything less but some one to be lucky to be with." Chills cover my skin as he speaks from the words he says and his breathe on my lips, I cant move even though ever part of me is screaming to kiss him all I say is "thank you." Luke smiles winking at me then sits back turning back sitting forward while he shouts to Gus "Dude if you focus on that game anymore your gonna fry your brain" I laugh as I watch Gus shake his head and close his month smiling at us laughing nervously.

Me and Luke share a small smile with each other then look back to Gus messing with him a little more about the game.

I'm glad our plans got changed.

Me and Gus get back to his apartment around 3 in the morning, when Gus suggested to get going and getting some sleep I honestly didn't want to leave I was having fun hanging out and talking with Luke, I've never talked to some one who looked so interested when I talked, so engaged like they wanted me to keep going so they could hang on to ever word. That was Luke and with him even when I would talk about something small he would just sit there and look at me like he never wanted me to stop and I didn't want to, and everytime I laughed or giggled his eyes would light up like it was his favorite song playing. He just made me feel worth something he made me feel important and not broken, not a charity case, not anything less but important and no one, not even Colton, made me feel like this. I didn't want it to end.

But before we slipped out the door Luke gave me his number and as we get back to the apartment Luke texts me 'had a great night talking with you Alexandria , so glad I got to met you'
