Giraffe > l.r.h

*14*

Luke had been up during that entire night. He hadn't gotten used to her warm body pressed up against his. Around three A.M. he had found himself humming to an old cover they had done before. He noticed when Aria woke up because her body tensed up against his.

Her breathing pace escalated and he froze in shock.

"It's okay Aria...it's me. Luke"he said nervously and she sighed shakily. "Are you okay?"he continued but she didn't reply. She just turned to look at him. Luke was caught off guard by the movement and his breath hitched when her dark brown eyes met his. They stared at each other for a while; waiting for each other to react.

Aria was the first to break the trance by hugging him tightly and breathing him in. His heart beat against his chest as if it was trying to escape and he nervously combed his fingers through her curls. "We didn't do anything last night if you were wondering. And I didn't touch you." Luke babbled on once he felt all the muscles in his lower half begin to tighten at their contact.

Aria hummed as she rubbed his broad back through the material of his long sleeved white sweater. His breathing picked up at her tender touches then he instinctively increased the space between their hips. He didn't her to know that just being in the same bed with her turned him on.

"Do you need any pills or something Aria?" he asked but was once again answered by silence. She had fallen asleep again. This time she was practically laying on top of him. Luke groaned quietly then let his head fall on the pillow.

He deciding on giving in as he latched a hand around her small waist and closed his eyes.
