Yours Forever.

Chapter 19

Rosies's POV :
I was getting ready for school on Wednesday morning, 2 days after I met Luke. He didn't communicate with me much after that day, I wondered what was going on in his head. I brushed my long and fully tangled hair which exhausted me so much.

My phone lit and it was Luke's call. I was surprised by his call at 5.30 am as his school was just 5 minutes away so he always woke up near 7. I was worried that he'll feel sick due to lack of sleep.

I picked up the call.
"Luke? Why are you up so early?"

"Hey listen to me. I'll pick you up from school today. I talked to my mother to tell your's. Now don't say no, I just called to convey this to you. Now pack your bag and go to school. See you at 2. Have a good day and keep smiling. Bye"

Call disconnected.

What was that? He'd pick me up from school at 2 but why? And my mom had no problem?

I just ignored everything and went to school. I thought that Luke might be kidding me. As I entered my classroom, Alicia nearly jumped over me in excitement.
"Guess what Rose, we're having the bonfire night on 14th of November. Just after 5 days. School threw this surprise for the students of the high school."
I jumped in excitement and joy. I loved such festivals specially when it came to festivals at school. It was just like an opportunity to spend time with my buddies.
Alicia continued,
"Rosie you know what? We can bring someone along us too. So you can bring your boyfriend along if you want to." She gave me a wink.

"My boyfriend?" I gave her that skeptical look.

"Luke obviously. You love him so much that you blush everytime we talk about him."

"Yeah right Alicia. The class is about to start let's be seated" I had that huge smile on my face once again. I wondered what Luke Bryan had done to me.

It was finally 2. Time to go home. I packed my bag and proceeded towards the benches near the gate. I knew mum would be late like always so I just took out a book and began reading it. Suddenly the pion called my name and told me that someone was there to pick me and he had my mum's phone number too so it was sure that he knew me and my mum so it was safe to go with him.

I grabbed my bag and went out of the gate and there he was, Luke waving at me. Wind passing through his hair and sweet smile just made me fall for him once again. I walked towards him and without any question he opened the door for me but me being a stubborn person began arguing with him.
"What's wrong with you why are you here Luke?"

"Shut up and sit in the car don't you see, my car is blocking the whole lane"

"No, why are you here!"

"Sit in or I'll be forced to push you Rosie" He said raising his voice and I sat in with my puppy face. I was such a coward.

He began driving.
"So. How did your day go?" He asked me with a smile on his face.

"Why didn't you go for your football practice after school?"

"Umm. Just because I had to pick you."

"And why did you have to pick me?"

"Just because I wanted to spend to spend time with you"

"And why did you want to spend time with me?"

"Rosie, shut up"

"What? You know I hate it when you skip your football practice. It's making me mad again."

"I have quitted football, Rosie. I want to focus over my studies."

"Why didn't you tell me?"
I felt so bad. I knew it was his dream to be a footballer. He was just doing it for a better future and his parent's will.

"I didn't want to see you upset. I know how much you want me to chase my dreams."

The car stopped infront my house. And he stared right into my eyes.

"But I told you that no secrets between us."
We conversed making an eye contact.

"Everything is fair in love and war."

"But there is no war going on here"

"But love does exists. I love you Rosie. I love you so much."

I was shocked. Luke loved me? Me? The dumb Rosie Stuart?

"I gotta go Luke"
I said ending the intense eye contact we had for the last 2 minutes.

"Why?"

"Mom must be waiting for me"
I rushed out of the car and closed the door without even saying him goodbye. He hurriedly came out of the car and called me out.

"Rosie?" He shouted.
"I'll call you at night Luke. I promise."
I rushed towards my bedroom and locked the door. Luke was such a handsome boy, so intelligent and intellectual. How could he love someone as simple, stupid and emotional as me. I loved him too but at the same time I was afraid if that 'i love you' was just a part of flirting with me. But the depth in his voice and the intensity of truth in his eyes was too obvious to be ignored. Maybe I should just talk to him about it.
I reacted way too badly. He must be thinking that I hate him and I felt bad. I didn't really feel bad, I was just confused about his intentions.

Well, I'll call him at night and talk to him about it. But one thing was for sure, Luke's 'i love you' made my heart skip a beat.

Luke expressed his feelings. Woah. But Rosie still depicts him to be a flirt. Will Rosie and Luke be together after this? Please vote and comment. :-)
