chapter 3; chocolate milk and movies

I woke up to see Luke standing in the corner.

"Dammit, did I die again?", I asked rubbing my eyes.

Luke let out a small laugh; one that bounced off the walls and entered me like honey.

"No you just forgot your bag", he said as he came over and handed me my bag.

"Oh.. thanks", I said taking my bang. I wallked over and hung it on the coat rack.

"Um, you want a drink?", I asked.

He had saved my life after all AND given me a ride.

"Yeah, do you have chocolate milk?

I laughed and started heading out of the room.

"Of course, let's head down", I replied with a smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I poured his milk in a tiki cup and sat down next to him, apple juice in hand.

"So Luke.... what were you doing at the beach?", I asked to break the ice.

"Well I was doing what you were, surfing."

The ice had broken indeed. After an hour, I found out that he was the junior surf champion of Sydney, has 2 brothers, enjoys singing and playing guitar, and wants to be a penguin when he grows up. While he was talking, I couldn't help but stare at his face up close. His blond hair looked to soft and tuggable. His jaw looked so sharp and define. His nose was point and straight, almost as if it was a bridge to somewhere. And his eyes... it was like the ocean itself had calmed down and captured itselfs in someones eyes.

It was pretty late when we were done talking. I looked down at my phone and realized it was friday.

"Shit, it's Friday.", I said sitting up. I ran up the stairs to the lounge. Luke followed.

"W-what happens on Friday?", he asked.

"I turn into a werewolf and eat everyone."

For a second, I saw terror in Luke's eyes. I started laughing.

"I'm just kidding you dork," I say teasing him.

"It's disney movie Friday. My um.... docter..... recommends that I watch something to boost my spirits weekly so..............................disney movie Friday", I say weakly. I pop a movie into the dvd player and sit on the couch.

"You wanna stay?", I ask, patting the cusion next to me.

Luke grins and sits down.

"What are we watching?"

"Bambi, now shush. No talking during the movies", I giggle.

~~~~~~

It was 40 minutes into the movie when my feet brushed up against Luke's. We instantly moved them away, but I felt how cold his feet were.

"Do you want a blanket?", I asked.

"Yeah sure... thanks"

I got up to get Luke a blanket out of the closet.

I tossed him an old baby girl blanket and heard him chuckle.

I was spending time with someone other than the ocean, and I was actually enjoying it.
