^^^ OKAY BUT WHO DID THIS? Omg I'm laughing so much xD

*Laurel's P.O.V*

I slowly open my eyes, catching sight of Luke's bedroom door right in front of me. I look down and there's an arm around my stomach, pulling me closer to its owner. I can't exactly look back but I feel Luke behind me, really really close. His breathing is steady, which means he's still asleep. Carefully, I open one of my arms just enough to grab my phone on the nightstand to check the time. 9:00am. There's a text from Austin, so I take a deep breath before reading it since I know he's pissed at me.

Laurel honestly, Ive been being patient with ur feelings and u know it, since I spoke up about what I feel and u asked me to let you take your time, but wtf? U simply travel to LA to go visit that dude Luke and his friends? And what's worse, ur staying at his place? what do you expect me 2 say? oh that's okay love im totally ok with this?!?!

"Looks like someone is jealous."

I jump in surprise and shiver at the sound of Luke's sleepy voice. I look back and his eyes are closed, but he's got a smirk on his face. I sigh, moving his arm so I can stand up, still holding my phone.

"Tell me about it." I agree, frustrated.

"I've heard he asked you to be his girlfriend, is that true?"

I look down at bed to face Luke. His eyes are still closed but now his back is against the mattress and her hands are behind his head. How could he possibly know that?

"Sort of..." I raise an eyebrow. "How do you know it?"

"Did you say yes?"

"What?"

"I'm just wondering," Luke groans as he pushes his torso forward to sit down. "because, like, yesterday we almost, you know, and you'd be cheating on him."

I glare at him, unbelieving. Locking my phone I toss it on the nightstand and cross my arms.

"That's very nice of you, saying I could possibly cheat on my boyfriend." I roll my eyes.

"Oh, so you admit he's your boyfriend?" He's being sarcastic. Ugh, I hate sarcastic Luke.

"No!" I shout. "He didn't exactly ask me, and even if he did I'm positive I would say no."

"Oh yeah? And why is that so?" Luke is standing up now, too close for my own good. He's gazing into my eyes with his pleading ones. He knows the answer, he just wants me to say it out loud so he can get a proof.

Proof enough for him to get out of my life, like Amanda said he was trying to. No, he can't be sure of my feelings for him.

"Because I, um..." I stutter. "I'm not into relationships. I gotta go to the bathroom, excuse me."

I quickly turn around and walk fast to Luke's guest room where I stayed when I arrived. Getting my clothes, I shut the bathroom door and sigh, leaning against it.

What the hell, Laurel?

Even though I didn't exactly tell him why, I shouldn't have said that. Knowing Luke he would probably make my life miserable until I say why I don't like relationships, and I couldn't tell him, I didn't tell anyone.

Jeez, I overthink all the time.

Shaking my head I get in the shower, trying to think of everything except Luke, but I fail miserably. The thought of him laying in bed, shirtless, his smile, his eyes... All about him. Flashes of last night run through my mind: the way he was holding me felt simply right. His kisses were so passionate yet intense, it's been a while since I had last been kissed like that. Quoting Austin: I'm falling hard, and it's not good at all.

I quickly dry myself and put my jeans on, with a Rolling Stones shirt. By now you probably know that I've got more band shirts than any other sort.

I comb my hair, spray my perfume and open the door. Once I step outside the room I feel the incredible smell of pancakes in the air. Going downstairs I head to the kitchen and there's Luke, wet hair, still shirtless, pants on. Thank God I'm leaning on the doorframe, otherwise my legs wouldn't have supported my weight shaking that much.

Luke glances at me and smiles.

"It's my turn to make us breakfast. Do you like pancakes?"

"Yeah I do." I chuckle, sitting by the counter. I watch Luke's muscles contract and relax as he cooks, and oh my God, that's quite a view. I remember the way those arms held me last night, and... Oh man, lore-el, get. it. together.

"Tonight I've got a party to attend. It's my friend's." He tells me, turning off the cooker and dropping the pancakes on a plate after taking them to the counter, with syrup and jelly.

"Oh." There's nothing else I could say, paying attention to my pancake.

"And I was wondering if you'd like to, um... go with me."

I stop chewing to look up at him. He's amused because of my full mouth.

"You look like a squirrel with its mouth full of nuts" He jokes and I blush, wiping it with a napkin.

"Sorry." I mutter. "What were you saying? A party?"

"Yes. It's at 8:00pm. We don't have to stay much if you feel uncomfortable, but..." He shrugs, glancing at me like a kid.

"I feel flattered." I smile. "I just need to know what to wear."

"Nothing much, I mean... Did you bring dresses with you?"

We go upstairs and I open my suitcase to show him my dresses: a red, a blue and a black one. Luke takes the last one on his hands and twists his nose.

"Is that the dress you wore when you went out with the guy that time?"

"Yes." I tilt my head to the side, giggling.

"Then you're not wearing this one." He drops it on the bed. "Come on. Let's get you a new dress."

"What? Luke, I can't buy-"

"Don't worry about it, just come with me." Luke unlocks his phone and start typing. A couple seconds later he places his phone against his ear. "Hey, Ashton? Are you and Bryana free today? Good. I'm gonna pick you guys up. Laurel needs a dress for today's party and I was wondering if Bryana could help her out. Alright, I'll be there soon."

Luke heads to his room to get a shirt, before taking me by the hand.

"Are you sure about this, Luke?" I inquire, as we get in the car and Luke turns on the engine.

"Yeah, of course. I'm looking forward to introducing you to my friends." He smiles, squeezing my bare thigh.

I smile, feeling like I'm stepping on clouds.

"And I'm looking forward to meeting them." I place my hand on top of his, and he smiles at me.

So he pulls out.
