*chanting* smut !! smut !! smut !!

"how's my beautiful, idiotic, dumb ass?" luke smiles fondly when his blue eyes finally catch my green ones.

he's wearing a pair of skinny jeans and a simple grey shirt. casual but still insanely hot.

"well if you're just going to be mean, you can leave." i pout my lip, trying my hardest to sound serious.

luke laughs and kisses my lips. "fine. i'll get going then, bye baby."

luke turns around and all i see is his broad shoulders heading out the door into the inky blue sky. he's actually leaving.

"no! come back!" i protest, grabbing his hand and pulling him back. "i've been dying to see you for an hour, don't you dare leave me."

in an instant, luke pops back into my house. "i wasn't planning to. i was just trying to give you a little scare."

i scowl at him, trying my hardest to appear intimidating. i probably look like an angry little
kitten by the way luke giggles but i don't care. i can't help but giggle along with luke when he leaves fluttery kisses all over my face.

i peek outside and i see my beloved old friend looking almost the same; just with smashed up windows and a huge dent on the roof.

luke catches my gaze and his eyes rest on my car as well.

"how long until i can drive again?" i ask, my voice cracking with emotion.

"probably not for a few years," luke mumbles, looking down.

i know it sounds stupid and in a way, it is stupid but i don't care. driving was a big part in my life. when i still lived with my shit bag of a dad, i would steal his car and drive around to get away from him. as long as i wasn't in his presence, he couldn't hurt me; he couldn't throw things at me and call me useless.

i guess it's not that big of a deal anymore considering that i moved out and i'm not constantly effected by that emotional and physical abuse.

still, it would be such an inconvenience not being able to get around on my own. i can no longer get ice cream at three in the morning or make random trips to an aquarium.

luke must've recognized the look of misery on my face because he finally speaks up again. "i'm honestly so sorry. if you ever need a drive, just call me. even if it's midnight and you want to go to the park, ring me up and i'll drive you."

"alright. that sounds like a plan, go take me to the park." i agree, grabbing his hand and pulling him outside.

i lock the door behind me and hop into luke's car.

"which park, baby boy?" luke asks, opening his gps.

"that one. gileswood park," i state, clicking on the name. it's only sixteen minutes away.

luke chuckles. "what'd you say? gileswood?"

"yeah," i say defensively. "that's how it's pronounced."

"it's not pronounced ga-i-elz-wood. it's pronounced gilz-wood!" luke protests.

"no it's not!" i argue.

"yes it is."

"no."

"yes."
