Over Time

Chapter 7

This is just a filler chapter and i have been trying to get ahead with this book so that i can update regularly. Hopefully once a week.

My eyes slowly open and a beam of sunlight shines right in my face. Why on earth did I
leave my window open last night, I never do that because when I do this happens. I remove my covers and jump out of bed to shut my window and close the curtains. I begin to make my way over to my bad again but stop. Luke's shoes are lying on the floor. But I thought he went home last night. I look closer at my bed and notice his figure under the covers.

"Luke Hemmings!"

Suddenly he shoots up off the bed and seems to be taking in his surroundings.

"Why the fuck are you yelling at 6:30 in the morning."

"I don't know? Maybe because you left my house last night then when I wake up you are somehow laying in my bed."

"I got lonely last night penguin. I couldn't find my key so I just came in through your window. You should really keep that locked by the way."

"So that's why my window was open this morning. I need to get ready so you need to leave my room so I can change." I stated, not wanting to deal with him at the moment.

"Why can't I stay?" Luke questioned, while pouting like a toddler.

"Because I need to change as in I don't want you seeing me without clothes on."

"Its not like I'm never going to see you like that."

"Nope. End of discussion. You are leaving because this is my room not yours."

"Fine, but it's just a waste of time."

Luke made his way out of my room and gave me one last pleading look but I mouthed go and he finally gave in. Damn that kid is persistent.

I think I'm going to wear something kinda cute today since I just went shopping yesterday. I grab the kimono I just bought and a plain grey tank top. I pair it with some light blue high waisted shorts and yell at Luke in the hallway that he can come on. In a matter of seconds hes in my room.

"Did you just wait right outside of my door that whole time?"

"Ya, I didn't have anywhere else to go, unless you wanted me wandering your house for some odd reason."

"No, I have no idea why I even asked that."

"should I put my hair in a braid or straighten it Lukey?"

"Braided for sure babe."

"Babe?" I question, like the word is from a foreign language.

"Do you not like it when I call you that penguin?"

"No, I like it, you've just never called me that before."

"I walk over to my dresser which also acts as my vanity and put on foundation, a hint of blush, chapstick, and some mascara. I have always wanted to fill my eyebrows in but I am horrible at it. i walk over to the wall by my closet where a long mirror is resting against the wall. My hair was in a bun last night so i carefully take it out of the bun and brush my fingers through it so it doesn't get frizzy. then i start at the roots of my hair and begin french braiding it.

About three rotations into the braid, I feel two hands snake around my back and rest on my stomach. It's Luke. He continues to hold me as I keep braiding and try to breath as normal as possible. He rests his chin on my shoulder and admires me in the mirrors reflection. I really freaking love him. I always have.

When i finish my hair, he spins me around an twirls me a couple times.

"My princess. i cant wait to show everyone at school that you're mine now. i will be rubbing it in everyone's face that they cant have you."

"You're dumb but cute Lukey," I giggle.

Luke wraps his arms around me and we stand there like that for a few minutes. My head in his chest as he rubs my back with his hand. He smells like he always does, coconut shampoo and cologne. it's almost intoxicating.

"We should probably head to school babe, we don't want to be late on the first day. I'm going to drive to Starbuck's before we get there and have some coffee, so you dont need to make one to take with babe." Luke tells me. He runs over to my bed and quickly puts on his shoes. Then he brags my hand and in the other he grabs my bag and drags me downstairs.

"Bye Mr. and Mrs. Young!"
