Yours Forever.

Chapter 22

Luke's POV :
I parked my car two streets away from Rosie's place. I called her and informed her that I was there. Her school was 30 minutes away from her house so I reached her place by 6.30pm. She told me that she'll be there in 5 minutes so I turned the radio on and began listening to it.

Suddenly, I saw somebody knocking my car window. I panicked for a moment but then I saw Rosie and took a deep long breath and opened the door for her.
"Hey. I'm sorry my mom was just really freaking about whom I'm going with. Hope you didn't mind picking me up?"

I heard nothing because my eyes were fixed on her. She was wearing a baby pink dress with it's length till her knees with black stockings and black heels. She curled her brunette long hair. She looked drop dead gorgeous that I couldn't keep my eyes off that beautiful thing.

"Luke? I need an answer? We're getting late"
She pulled me out of my thoughts.

"You look amazing baby. You're so beautiful"
She blushed so hard that she turned red and gave me her beautiful smile.

"You look really handsome too Luke."

"Thankyou so much beauty." And I held her hand but she pulled away. That hurted me and I began looking straight on the road and began driving. After 2 minutes of silence, she spoke up.

"Luke, why are you pissed at me?"
I remained silent and didn't say a word.
"Luke! Don't do this."
I still remained silent and suddenly I felt her hand on my hand which was on my left leg.
"I love you. Don't be angry because I pulled away. You said yourself that you know that I mess things up?"

"I'm sorry Rosie I just got really hurt because I thought that you're uncomfortable by me being close to you."

"Not at all. You're the only one who makes me feel comfortable."
She conveyed tightening the grip of our hands. That brought a smile on my face and I intertwined our fingers. The next 20 minutes passed with complete silence and our hands fixed together. I couldn't stop smiling and whenever I looked at her, I saw her smiling too.

I felt so complete when I was with her.

We finally reached her school. She greeted the school pion and told her that I was her best friend. We entered in and it was an alluring building with huge gardens and a stage set for the performances. There were lights decorated all over the place and huge bonfire in the middle of the garden.

"Come on Luke. Let's catch up with Alica, Amy and May."
She held my hand and directed me to her friends.
I was shocked to see how Alicia had changed. She gained so much weight and had become an extremely ill mannered person. Her dress was already full of ketchup she was eating with the plate of fries she had bought from the food stalls.
"Hey girls. Meet Luke."
"You've turned into a really handsome guy Luke. Wish you were my boyfriend" Amy replied instantly looking straight at me. Creepy,fat girl.

"Umm. I'll go get something to eat" Rosie conveyed and went away but I knew she was hurt by what Amy said. I ran after her to see if she was okay.
"Rose? Stop!"
She turned around and gave me the fake smile plastered on her face.
"What Luke? Aren't you hungry?"
"What's wrong Rosie? And be clear and honest."
"Luke you're a handsome boy and so many people like you. You could have a better girl than me. I think you should find someone else. You shouldn't have been here with me."

"Rosie?"
"Yeah?"
"Nothing. Let's go get something to eat."
I gave a her a smile and held her hand and we headed towards the food stall.
10 minutes later a guy began making announcements that students can come up on the stage and sing songs.

"Luke? I told you to prepare a song. Did you do that?"
"Rose I don't like to sing."
"Mhm. Okay"
She became more sad. I had to do something to make her happy.

Rosie's POV :
What a boring night it was. I was so pissed at everyone. Amy, I didn't expect such behaviour from her. How could she have her eyes on my boyfriend. Every other girl was after him, after all he had such an attractive personality. He was staring at the guys singing songs on the stage and I was staring at him. Suddenly he turned around to look at me.
"Uh Rosie. I'll be back in a while."
"Where are you going?"
"I'll be back"
And he rushed out in the public. He left me too. Even Alicia and other girls were no where to be found. Tears started to form in my eyes. I felt so useless and weak. I felt like I didn't deserve to be there with Luke. He should've been with a beautiful girl who would be as perfect as him. I turned my back towards the stage and walked towards the gate.

Suddenly I heard Luke's voice.
"This one's for my beautiful girl. I'm going to sing her favourite song for her and this song completely defines her."
I turned around to see her, it was actually Luke. A huge smile formed on my face and he began singing 'Just the way you are' by Bruno Mars.
That was my favourite song and I was speechless.
He was looking straight at me during the entire 4 minutes. Although he wasn't a really good singer, but he was singing for me. I never thought someone would value me so much. He got off the stage and ran straight towards me.
"How was it baby?"
And I couldn't do anything but hug him. I hugged him so hard. I could feel his breaths on my shoulders and his arms snaked around my back too and he lifted me up.
"I love you Luke. I love you so much."
"I love you too Rose "
And the only thing I could hear was sound of the crowd making noise for some other guy who was singing which made us clear that nobody was looking at us.

He tightened our hug and I just couldn't pull away. I could feel his heart beating so fast and I knew he would be feeling the same.

The comfort his hug gave me, the affection I felt at that moment. I knew nobody in the world could ever make me feel that way.

Luke pulled away and cupped my face. Staring into my eyes he said
"You know why I call you Rose more than I call you Rosie?"

"Why Luke?"

"That's because, you're as beautiful as a Rose. So fragrant and alluring that you blossomed my heart with so much love. Outter beauty is not everything Rosie, what matters is the inner beauty. And beautiful roses comes with the thorns. But I love to love them too."

"I love you Luke."
Tears of joy formed in my eyes again and I hugged him. Again.

He hugged me even tighter and whispered in my ear.

"Rosie. You smell better than Roses. Trust me"

"You too Luke" I said with a slight chuckle and closed my eyes to feel the moment.

So Luke and Rosie had their first hug and he sang such a sweet song for her too. I totally ship both of them now. Luke is such a sweet guy. And 'Just the way you are' is my favourite song too. Well, keep reading peeps and please vote/comment.
