"MICHAEL!"

I jumped, my smile immediately dropped, and looked up at my sister Mara.

"What?" I said nervously, playing with the hem of my skirt.

"Okay, what is with you and Hemmings?" She asked, her hand on her hip.

"What do you mean?" I said.

Mara rolled her eyes, "Are you dating or what?"

"Yeah, for like two weeks now." I responded.

"He put you up to it, didn't he?" She said.

"Why would you think that?" I mumbled, looking down at my phone.

"I don't know." Mara said sarcastically. "Maybe its the fact that you've never dated anyone in 4 years and as soon as he comes around, you drop into his lap."

"Will you stop?" I stated, looking back up at her. "What do you want me to tell you? That it's fake?"

She shrugged, giving me a 'That Will Work' look.

"Well, it's not. It is very much real and I'd appreciate it if you stayed out of my love life." I growled.

"Fine then. Invite him over for dinner tomorrow." She stated, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Fine!" I shouted. "I will!"

"Hey baby! Guess wh-" I smashed my lips into his, not listening to what he wanted to say.

I pulled away but Luke grabbed my face and pushed our lips together again. I let his tongue roam my mouth as I ran my hands through his blond hair, most likely messing up his quiff.

"Good morning to you too." Luke chuckled, giving me a soft peck before pulling away.

"Sorry." I sighed. "Just mad at my sister."

"Maybe you should get mad at your sister more often." Luke said as I put my seat belt on.

I rolled my eyes and hit his arm with the back of my hand.

"M kidding, baby. What's happened?" He said, starting the car up.

"She asked about you. Saying it was fake."

He slightly tensed, flexing his fingers over the wheel.

"I told her it wasn't. And she wants us to prove it." I sighed, running my hand through my hair.

"Like, how?" Luke mumbled.

"Inviting you over for dinner tonight."

"Okay."

"Is that an okay or an Okay, I'll come?" I asked, turning away from the window.

"I'm coming."

"That's what she said."

Luke looked over at me, a smirk on his lips.

"Um, baby. That's what HE said."

I rolled my eyes but smiled, "I'm trying here."

"it was a solid fail."

I scoffed, "Wow. Thanks for the encouragement."

"With that attitude you won't get your hot chocolate." Luke replied.

"Are you serious?" I questioned.

"No. I'm Luke." Luke replied, handing me a Starbucks cup.

"Okay. If you're going to do that, we can't be seen together." I laughed before taking a sip of the hot liquid.

"Just hush and drink your hot chocolate."

My phone beeped and I almost dropped it twice because my hands were shaking so bad.

❤ Babe ❤: What r ur mum's and ur sister's fav flowers??

Baby Boy ♥ : Mum likes lilacs and Mara likes black tulips

❤ Babe ❤ : Okay. Thx. And don't think I forgot abt u baby. I'll be there in 5.

Baby Boy ♥ : Can't wait

I sighed and turned off my phone. I did my makeup earlier, when my hands were shaking like small earthquakes.

I straightened out my plain black shirt, checking myself in my mirror.

Nice black skirt, pastel pink shirt, hair fine.

Maybe I should dye my hair again. But last time was a disaster. Dark blue is NOT my color. Maybe pastels. That be cute. Purple or Pink-

"Michael!" Mum called.

"coming coming!" I yelled before darting downstairs.

Mara smirked, her hand near the door handle.

"Mara, please stop. He's already freaking out." Mum said, stirring something on the stove.

"Why you freaking out?" Mara whispered. "Scared your fake boyfriend isn't going to show up?"

"He's not fake!" I whisper shouted.

Luke knocked on the door and I immediately swung the door open.

"Okay, next time can you give me time to check my hair in the door handle?" Luke sighed.

I rolled my eyes, "I know. So shiny huh?"

He laughed, "Hello Mara."

"Hemmings." She replied.

"This is for you." Luke said, handing her a bouquet of black tulips.

She looked taken back but took the flowers, "Thanks Blondie."

"For my baby." He smiled, handing me a single red rose.

"It's beautiful. Thank you." I grinned.

"Do you happen to have some BandAids?" He whispered as I let him in.

"You stuck yourself with a thorn didn't you?" I questioned.

"No...why would you think that?"
