Astrid’s P.O.V.
At eleven thirty I went up to my room and I got into bed and it took me a while to fall asleep but I finally did two hours later. I woke up the next day and I saw that accidently turned the volume on my phone to off and I saw that I had missed fifty calls and thirty text messages all from Duke. I looked at all thirty text messages from Duke and they all made me smile. I decided to call Duke and he answers on the first ring and he says, “I was really worried about you.” I smiled and say, “Aw, that’s sweet.” We talk for an hour and then Duke asks if he can come over and I tell him that I will have to ask my dad first. We hung up then so I could ask my dad if Duke could come over. I found a note on the kitchen counter and it said, ‘Astrid, I had a call from my boss, he had an unexpected meeting with me so I won’t be home for a while but Duke is not allowed to come over.’
I sigh, shake my head and then I text Duke telling him that he can’t come over. I head back upstairs to my room and I turn my I-pod on and turn it to ‘Killing me inside’ by Crossfade. I sit on my bed and sing along to the lyrics and in the middle of the song I got a text from somebody. I look at the sender of the text and I saw that it was Duke and he says, “I really wanted to see you today but if your dad says no then I guess I’ll see you tomorrow.” I delete the message and a new song begins playing ‘Last man standing’ by Pop Evil. I sing along to the lyrics hoping that I won’t get disturbed this time because I loved this song and the band. I heard the front door open and close and I knew that somebody was home so I pause the music and went downstairs. When I got the middle step I saw that it was dad who was home so I say, “Hey dad.” He turns around and says, “Astrid, you scared me.” I laugh at that and he says, “Any of your brothers home yet?” I shake my head and he says, “First home then.” I smile at that and he says, “Not mad at me?” I knew what he was talking about and I say, “No, but can he come over tomorrow?” Dad nods his head and I say, “Thanks.”
Duke’s P.O.V.
I was hardly able to sleep because I kept wondering when I would be able to see my Astrid. I hear my phone chime indicating that I had gotten a text from somebody. The phone was buried deep in my messy room since I didn’t bother to keep it clean and I finally found it underneath my clothes. The text was from Astrid and it read, ‘You can come over tomorrow.’ I smiled at that and then I looked at my room and it made me pissed at myself. I grabbed all of my dirty clothes and took them into the laundry room to begin getting them cleaned. I went back into my room and began cleaning it up. After it was cleaned I got a vacuum and began cleaning the floor. After everything was done including the laundry I laid down on my clean sheets and actually fell asleep for once.
I woke up the next day got showered and dressed and then I texted Astrid and asked her if I was still able to come over. She texted me back and it said, ‘You can still come over.’ I was happy to see my Astrid again; I wanted to do something special for her. I ran downstairs very fast because I was excited to see my Astrid. I got into my car quickly and drove off and I arrived at my Astrid’s in twenty minutes. I got out and ran to the front door and Astrid opens up the door and I scoop her up into my arms. I kiss her lips gently at first and then I begin to kiss her harder. After a while we lose our breath so I call a break for the both of us.
We both went into her house and up to her room. Once when her door was shut and locked, I turned her around and kissed her hard. She kissed back and whispered, “I love you Duke.” I loved it when she told me she loves me so I say, “I love you too Astrid.” We lay on her bed and I pulled her on top of me. Astrid rested her head on my chest and I kissed the top of her head. I hear her moan and I chuckle before saying, “I love you Astrid.” It was a while before she responded back but I was really happy that she told me that she loves me. I wrapped my arms tighter around Astrid and I kissed her head again.
