Serendipity

18

We ended up driving back to headquarters after our long make out session.

"See I told you going to the cliff would be fun." I said as we walked into the mansion hand in hand. Luke just smiled, he didn't want to admit I was right.

"Well we have school tomorrow so that means we should get started on homework." I said as we made our way to Luke's room. He sighed in annoyance.

"I'll just take the f." He said as he tossed my overnight bag on the floor.

"There's other things I'd rather do." He mumbled against my neck as he planted kisses on it and made his way up my jaw.

"Stop trying to distract me! We're doing this." I said as I tried to push him away. I really didn't want him to stop but my fear of where this could lead was enough to keep me grounded. Luke groaned.

"You're no fun, I don't wanna do homework." He pouted, crossing his arms over his chest. I laughed.

"Now who's acting like the kid?" I smiled. He just rolled his eyes as he dramatically fell onto his bed. I sat across from him as I pulled my back pack to the edge of the bed.

"Okay what should we start with, biology or math!?" I asked in an overly excited tone. Maybe if I pretended to be excited I would actually get a little excited. I was dreading this as much as Luke but it had to get done.

"Um how about a snack break." Luke suggested rolling over onto his back. I laughed.

"You need to actually do work before you can take a break." I smiled. I ruffled his hair as I pulled biology work out of my bag.

"That's a big lie. You take a break first so that you're motivated to work for another break." Luke explained. I rolled my eyes. Luke and his stupid boy logic.

"Well that's not how this is gonna work. What's going to happen is we're going---" I was cut off my Luke suddenly kissing me. I was surprised at first but quickly adjusted. I lightly pushed my biology stuff out of the way and let myself melt into the kiss.

We stayed like that for a while before things began to get heated. Luke started kissing me all over and it was getting to be too much. It felt nice but I didn't want to do anything I'd regret.

"Woah okay slow down we can't do this." I laughed. It wasn't a genuine laugh but it sounded real enough. Luke sighed as he pulled away defeated. I hated always stopping him but I just wasn't ready.

"I'm sorry but we have no time for that, we have a lot of work to do." I said dragging my biology back in front of me. Luke laid back down and closed his eyes. I sighed.

"Luke come on." I said nudging him. He just groaned. I rolled my eyes. He was so dramatic.

"I'm not doing homework because I'm not going to school tomorrow." He said with his eyes still closed. My mouth fell open. Was he serious.

"Are you kidding!? We have to go to school!" I said. I'd never ditched school before and I wasn't about to start senior year.

"I didn't say you weren't going I said I'm not going. You're welcome to join me though." He said opening one eye to look at me. I bit my lip as I thought about it. It couldn't hurt too much to miss one day. I needed to live a little. I was really close to caving in but I still was holding back.

"I don't know. I've never skipped school. What would we do."

"Anything and everything." He replied with a smirk. I laughed. Spending a day with Luke wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I nodded my head yes.

"Was that a yes?" Luke asked with a smile.

"Yes." I laughed. Luke smiled up at me. After I confirmed it Luke sat up and swept all my books off the bed with his arm. He then inched over to me to continue our make out session. I didn't object.

•••

We ended the night by laying in bed playing 20 questions. It was the cliche thing to do but I enjoyed learning more about Luke.

We were going to watch his movie but Bryce had a girl over and they were using the theater.

"Okay are you ready for these questions to get more serious?" I asked him. We were currently laying in his bed with the lights out in his room. His alarm clock was really bright so the whole room had an creepy red glow.

"I'm ready when you are." He said, I couldn't really tell but I'm pretty sure he wore a smirk with that response.

"Okay so question 14 ...what was the reason behind your last breakup?" I asked. The room was silent for a while before he finally spoke.

"We were already having problems because she knew I was hiding something, it was the gang thing, but I wouldn't tell her. Then I moved and things just ended because neither of us cared enough to continue the relationship long distance, even though I'm just 30 minutes away." He admitted. A satisfied smile played on my lips. He didn't tell her about the gang but he told me.

"Alright my turn, who was the last guy you fucked." He bluntly asked. I was glad the room was dark because my mouth dropped open in shock and my face was definitely bright red. Well now I had to tell him. If I said pass it'd be obvious why and I wasn't going to lie about it. Well maybe I could fuck with his head a little first.

"I slept with Ryder a few weeks ago, that's why he hates me." I lied. I wish I could of seen his reaction.

"What the fuck." He shouted as he quickly sat up in bed. He reached over and turned on his lamp before facing me. It was obvious I was lying because I was dying of laugher. I was laughing so hard no sound was coming out. Luke didn't find it funny and just glared at me.

"I'm just messing with you." I laughed as I composed myself.

"Not funny." He said as he turned the light back off and laid back down.

"It was really funny." I laughed.

"Yeah yeah yeah okay but honestly, who was it?" He asked. I gulped. Well here goes the truth, I just need to play it cool and maybe his reaction will be chill.

"I'm a virgin." I said as calmly as I could. The room was quiet for a few moments and I was growing nervous. Maybe I should of lied.

"Oh, okay." He finally said. He obviously had an issue with this.

"Is there a problem?" I asked, I was slightly pissed off that this was his reaction. I don't know what I expected him to say but I wasnt happy with that response. Luke sighed.

"No, I just said okay." He said in an emotionless tone. I didn't know what he meant by this.

"I feel like you have a problem with me being a virgin." I said as I sat up.

"No its not that." He said getting frustrated.

"Then what is it because I don't understand!" I yelled at him.

"I've never slept with a virgin before that's all." He said in a quieter voice. I sat there in silence. I still didn't see the big deal in that.

"Okay, so does that upset you." I asked in a quieter voice. I heard Luke sigh.

"No Em its okay I get it." He said.

"Its my turn right?" He asked.

"What do you mean you 'get it'?" I asked. Luke groaned.

"Em come on let it go. Its okay I love you the way you are." He said squeezing my hand. I pulled my hand away from his and laid back down. He had put me in a bad mood.

"Im just gonna go to bed in tired." I said. I heard Luke sigh but he didn't comment on it.

"Okay goodnight." He said.

"Night." I quickly replied so I could be done talking to him. Now I dreaded having to spend all day tomorrow with him. Luke was so ready to look past this but I wasnt. I just wasn't okay with his reaction and the fact that he had an obvious problem with this. Tomorrow's gonna be a long day.
