Chapter two

Cat's pov.

Me: *concert just ended, you can come get us now.* I send the text to my mum.

Mum: *on my way. I'll be about 30 minutes* I read her responce and slide my phone into my back poctet.

"My mum's going to be about 30 minutes."

"Okay" Dani says with a small smile as she snuggles up in Calum's arms.

"You guys are the cutest couple ever, you make me sick." I like to joke with them about each other. They swear up and down that they're not dating but act like they've been together for years.

"Still not a couple, cat" Calum denies. "Not yet anyways" he states with a sly wink. I laugh and roll my eyes.

"Dani, give me your jacket. It's freezing out here." She has Calum to keep her warm anyway.

"No. I get cold too." She rejects and Luke taps me on the shoulder with his big, warm jacket already in hand.

"Uh, you can use mine. I'm not cold." He mumbles, shyly. Taking the leather jacket skeptically, I put it on, and It engulfs my whole torso and the top halves of my thighs.

"You look good." Luke says, eyeing me up and back down.  I smile and glance at dani with a "OH MY GOD CAT HE LIKES YOU" expression on her face. Then to Calum who's trying to hide the thumbs up he's directing towards Luke. Less than 5 minutes later a set of headlights pull up, the headlights belonging to my mum's car, Dani, Cal and I walk over to the passenger side while Luke hops in behind my Mum. Dani opens the passenger door, winks at me and gets in leaving me between Luke and Calum. Not that I'm complaining.

About ten minutes into the drive, I was ready to jump out of the moving car. The three of us were sitting so uncomfortably close that we were basically on top of each other, and I was getting Claustrophobic. I look to my right and see a sleeping Luke. His mouth hanging open and his head leaned back against the head rest. Light snores escaping his perfectly pink lips. Very carefully reaching into my back pocket, I take out my phone and try to snap a quick picture unfortunately, I didn't think to turn the flash off. I cringe at my own stupidity and watch as he shuffles around, still asleep. This time leaning on me with his head on my shoulder and placing one of his warm hands on my upper thigh. I can feel my skin under his touch growing hot, And I wish I could stay in this car forever. Sadly, moments like this only last for just that, a single solitary moment. My moment ended when we stopped in front of Calum's House.
"Luke, wake up." I coo gently tapping him on the chest. Only to be rewarded with a raspy sleep voice.

"Hey beautiful." I can feel my cheeks growing hot. "Will you go on a date with me? It's okay if you don't want to. I just thought I would ask." This will be the death of me.

"Okay, I'll go. Pick me up Saturday at seven" gotta stay cool, cat. Cool and confident.

"Saturday? You want me to wait a week?" That's it Luke, beg for more.

"Yep." No I don't.

"No, I'll pick you up tomorrow at five." That's more like it.

"Eager, Hemmings?"

"Actually? Yes, I am." He winks at me as he gets out of the car "see you tomorrow at five."I wave and he closes the door. Shit, I'm still wearing his jacket. Quickly, I get out of the car and yell for him.

"Luke, wait! I have your jacket!" Taking deep unsteady breaths from running after him. He places a hand on my shoulder, me looking up at him because of the foot and a half difference in our hight.

"Keep it. It looks better on you than it does on me." He reaches his hand to the back of my neck, leans in and plants a small tender kiss on my fourhead. "Goodnight, Cat."

"Goodnight, Luke" smiling like crazy I make my way back to the car and hop In the back seat. Butterflies fluttering.
