Friends Or More?

Luke’s POV

This is really nerve racking, I never had a girl over before, well if you count a play date when I was like seven. I feel like I like her, even though I only known her for like what, 2 days? Yeah, but it doesn’t matter, if you like someone you like someone it doesn’t matter on how long you known them for. She is kind, she always knows how to make me laugh, she is really pretty, her eyes are beautiful, and we just get each other. She just has everything, her taste in music is wonderful. You are probably thinking, ‘don’t you still have feelings for your ex,’ Well, I still have slight feelings for her, but I know in my heart she will find someone better than me.

I went downstairs and told my mom I was having a friend over.

“Oh, what is their name?” She asks in her polite, but very stern voice.

“Emily.” I instantly regretted saying her name because I knew what was going to come after I said it.

“A girl?” She said lifting an eyebrow. “Luke is getting the girls!”

“Mom! She is just a friend!” For now, I thought in my head.

“Not for long though.” I sighed, because I knew she was right. I went upstairs to change my clothes. I changed into a white smiley face shirt, and then a blue button up shirt but I left it undone. I stayed in the same black skinny jeans, ‘cuz it would be really hard to get into another pair. Five minutes later my phone buzzed signalling I had a text.

From Mum: Emily is here!

Oh gosh. Does my breath smell? Do I smell? I brushed my teeth really quick and put on some deodorant and some cologne.

Finally I was ready to go down. I saw her sitting on the couch alone, through the small opening of the staircase wall. I saw her look up and her eyes travel up and down my body. Did she just check me out? Oh, gosh I hope I’m not blushing. “Hey!” Was the only thing that I could manage to say at the moment, in my dazed state.

“Hey, Luke!” She smiled at me which, was causing a chain, I smiled.

“We should get to work on that project.” I stuttered trying not to be nervous or do anything stupid or awkward.

“Yeah, we should.” She said calmly. I motioned her to follow me upstairs. Not to sound sexual. She followed.

We walked down the hall and I opened the second door on the left. I flicked the light switch on to embrace us with artificial light.

“Wow, nice room!” She stated, looking all over my room.

“I guess for only being in this house for four days.”

“Really?” She asked with a confused look on her face.

“What?” I say, mirroring her expression.

“If I moved and I lived in the house for four days, boxes would be everywhere!”

“Wow, I’m cleaner than a girl. People always say that boys are the messy ones, but I guess that they were wrong.” We laughed at my comment.

“So, that mathematical project! What should we do for it?”

*1 Hour Later*

Emily and I went over some project ideas. Until she got a phone call. She looked at the screen.

Emily’s POV

Luke and I were going over project ideas, that was until I got a phone call from my mom.

Mom: Where the hell are you?

Me: At my friends house.

Mom: Thanks for telling me where you are.

Me: I didn’t expect to stay this long, plus you work late so...

Mom: Well, say goodbye and head home now!

Me: Okay

I hung up the phone, and turned to look at a already staring Luke. He turned his head a seconds after I laid eyes on him. “Well, I have to go, but it was nice hanging out with you!”

“Yeah, it was nice hanging out with you too!”

He came closer to me and wrapped his arms around me. Hs warmth engulfed me, and I have to say he was pretty strong.

“Do you work out, Mr. Hemmings?” I asked pulling away and looking him in the eyes.

“A little bit.” He shrugged, making his head tilt to the right.

“Strong boy!” I slapped his arm playfully. He blushed slightly. He bite his lip, making me 500% more attracted to him. He moved closer like when he hugged me but instead of putting his hands around my waist they came to my face. He pulled my face up to his. He studied my face for a moment and then gently brought his lips to mine. I wrapped my hands around his neck, even though I didn’t know what to do. This was my first kiss, ever.

Luke’s POV

I looked emily in the eyes and moved closer to her. My hands making there way to her face, instead of around her waist. I brought my lips to hers. Like in the movies and what everyone says about their first kiss, fireworks; unlike my ex. Wait, why am I comparing Emily the Chloe? Emily is so much better than her. Emily actually listens to me when I do talk. Emily can always make me smile, unlike Chloe when she flirted with other guys in front of my face.

I lead Emily downstairs, to the front door.

“Well, I had an amazing time!”

“So did I. We should do this again sometime.”

“Definitely!’ She smiled and kissed my cheek. I blushed and she giggled her cute little giggle and then she walked towards her house. I closed the door after she walked out.

“Time to eat Luke!”  

“Okay Mum.”

I walked into the kitchen and the smell of pasta and veggies smacked me in the face. My mom was already sitting at the table, My Dad is working late tonight so he won’t be joining us tonight. It’s just me and her.

“So, you and Emily?” She smirked.

“For the second time we are just friends.” I say frustrated.

“That kiss didn’t seem like friends.” Oh, gosh what one was she talking about?

“It was just a kiss on the, friends do that sometime.Okay?” I raised an eyebrow.

 “What ever you say Lukey.” She smirked again, and went back to eating. I did the same, well except for the smirking.
