project love ; lrh

10 :: will you be my girlfriend?

"i don't get it, i feel like something's missing," i told my roommates, jessie and ruby, while watching the footage.

"i think i know what's missing," ruby smirked, "love love."

i rolled my eyes at her, "what do you mean, love love, this whole video is full of love !!"

"i think what she means is romantic love. like a young man who is in love with a young girl. kinda like the newly wed couple," jessie explained.

"ohhh," i thought, "but who could i call at this hour??" i glanced at my watch that says 1AM, "the deadline's tomorrow."

"actually, it's in 9 hours," ruby said.

"i know who," jessie smirked at ruby and they had an understanding, "i'll just make a call," ruby said and rushed to get her phone. jessie was still smirking but i didn't care. i never really understood these two.

*ding dong*

i opened the door and luke was staring right back at me.

"luke, what are you doing here at this hour?" i asked embarrassed. i was only in my oversized shorts and shorts. my hair was in a messy bun which i didn't even bother to brush.

"i think i should be asking you that cuz ruby called me and told me there's an emergency here," we both turned to my two roommates giving them an annoyed look.

"we'll be right back," they both said and hid in our room.

"have a seat," i told luke while gesturing towards the coach. he's pretty much at home in our condo unit because he's been here often, "would you like some coffee? sorry ruby had to disturb you at this hour," i apologized. he said it was okay.

"so i think the reason they called you is that you're the missing piece to my project."

luke looked shocked, "me?"

"well that's what jessie said," i shrugged, "so here we go so i could get some sleep. what is love?"

i clicked record on my camera.

luke brushed his hand through his hair and bit his lip ring.

"love is when you just randomly worry if she's safe or what's she doing and think about when you're gonna see her again," he smiled at the ground,

"love is when her every wish is your command, whether it's driving around the whole country during the AM hours or helping her make a video," he gestured to the camera that that was exactly what he was doing,

"love is when you order an iced mocha frappe, lightly blended, extra sugar, no whip cream because you know that's her favorite and she hasn't eaten lunch yet," he recited and we laughed,

he looked stared at me and i thought i was gonna drown in his ocean blue eyes, "love is when you think she's beautiful even if she obviously didn't shower for two days,"

"hey, i showered yesterday!!" i interrupted then realized i was still gross.

"love is... even if the person you love is the future valedictorian of marveston university but is also the most clueless girl on the planet, you continue to support, love, and care her," he smiled, clicked stop on the camera himself, and we stood up at the same time.

"tessa oliver, after gathering all the confidence i have in myself, after all the years of just friendship..." he said as he cupped my face,

"will you be my girlfriend?"
