But He's My Best Friend...

Chapter 11

Kaelyn

I felt like a little kid again laying there with Luke under the stars, but this time it was different. We were grown up now and somehow managed to fall in love with each other.. As we lay here our hands tangled together my head on his chest listening to the sound of the crickets and frogs it seemed so perfect. I looked up at Luke and he looked at me.

"So what does this make us?" I questioned

"I was kind of hoping that you would be my girl.."

"I thought you would never ask.."

"So that's a yes?"

"Of coarse" I said laughing

With that he leaned in a kissed me softly pressing his lips to mine, before leaning in further and deepening the kiss. I've craved his lips on mine since high school and now it's finally happening. His hand reach around to my back pulling me closer to him easily not wanting to hurt my foot. His arms wrapped around my body tightly holding me not wanting me to move. I smiled and leaned up and kissed his scruffy chin down to his neck. He let out a soft moan and I couldn't help but giggle.

"Weakness?" I asked

"Big one especially since it's you"

I laughed and laid my head back on his chest.

"You know If you didn't have that cast on your foot.." He started

I looked up at him knowing what he was about to say.

"We'd be tangled together by now"

He grinned and kissed my forehead

"But that's okay I don't want you feeling like I want to rush things.."

"Luke it's okay! My cast comes off in two weeks to a month..." "I know how you feel"

"I just want to show you how much I really love you.."

A warm sensation ran threw my body when he said that.. I don't know if it's the fact he said he loves me or if it's the fact that he wants me as bad as I want him.. Maybe it's the fact that I know he actually means every word he says..

Luke

With her laying here in my arms my whole life seemed perfect at the moment. Maybe I don't want to go to Nashville after all, maybe I just want to stay here in Leesburg and start a life with Kaelyn. I'm getting way ahead of myself.. I took a deep breath and held her tight.

The sun started peaking over the horizon she had fallen asleep a few hours ago with her head on my chest. My arm had fallen asleep hours ago now to the aching point but I refused to move it. She looked so beautiful sleeping so sound it melted my heart.. I never felt this way towards anyone..

"Hey darlin.." I gently shook her

"Hmm" he said opening her eyes slowly

I smiled

"We need to get you home it's morning time"

She nodded an I slipped out of her grip. Laying her head on the pillow I packed my guitar and loaded it back in the truck before opening the passenger side door and going to grab her. I picked her up carefully and carried to the truck. I kissed her forehead before closing her door and walking around to my side.

"I'm hungry" she said once I got in the truck

"We'll go back to your house and ill cook up some breakfast"
