Hurt.

21.

Waking up hours later, I stretched myself out and looked at the time. It was almost eight at night and we had missed dinner. I shook Luke and rubbed my eyes again, running my hand through my hair. Luke groaned and turned onto his other side, pulling the blankets up over his head. I pulled the blankets back and saw he wasn't wearing a shirt. I giggled and kissed his shoulder, causing him to turn back towards me.

"What time is it...?" Luke asked, his voice raspy. I smiled and kissed his cheek, looking at him.

"It's almost eight at night, babe." I said, as Luke rubbed his eyes and shook his head.

"We slept all day? Holy shit..." He laughed and yawned. I smiled and sat up, putting my hair up into a messy bun and checked my phone to see if I had any messages. My mom had texted me several times while Luke and I were asleep. 

Luke looked at me as he sat up and he rubbed his eyes, getting out of bed. "We better go downstairs before your mum wonders if we died or not." He chuckled and I nodded, standing up and walked ahead of him down my stairs. Once we got downstairs, my mom was sitting in the kitchen, talking on the phone and writing down something. Plopping myself on top of the counter, I looked at my mom and poked her arm.

"Yeah..I'll make sure to do that, Reg! Thanks! You too! Mm, bye." She smiled and hung up. "Why hey you sleepy heads! You missed dinner and youf friend stopped over.. uh, Taylor? He wanted to see if you were okay!" I frowned when she mentioned my friend Taylor came over. Taylor had been my best friend for as long as I could remember and I was upset that I missed him coming over.

"You could've came and woken me up! When did he come over?" I asked, looking at Luke, then back at my mom. 

"About an hour ago, you looked exhausted, so I let you two sleep. He said he'd stop by tomorrow." My mom walked by the fridge, opening it up. "You two hungry? Want something to eat? I can make you something quickly! I got some pizza, ramen noodles, pasta salad..." She listed off these various foods she was willing to make. 

"Uh..Luke are you hungry?" I asked Luke as I turned my head towards his direction. Luke shook his head and looked at my mother. "I'll have a bowl of pasta salad please, mom." My mom nodded and got out the noodles and mix for her pasta salad. Luke sat down in a chair behind me which was placed at the island counter and looked at me, kissing my arm gently. I smiled and looked back at him. 

"You sure you don't want anything, Luke?" My mom asked him again, looking up at him.

"I'm fine, thank you." Luke flashed a smile at my mom and looked back at me, smiling. His smile was just so cute and perfect. I poked at his lip, giggling.

"Where's your lip ring, babe?" I asked, poking at the spot where his lip ring once was.

Luke shrugged and laughed. "I have to get a new one, so I'm gonna go out and buy a new one once we get back to Melbourne. I think I have to get it repierced, some of it is closed and hurt to put my ring in." He frowned and I pecked his lips.

I nodded at him. "I'll help you pick out a nice one too!" I smiled and got off the counter, and sat on his lap. Luke wrapped his arms around my waist so I wouldn't fall off. Luke kissed my cheek and rested his chin on my shoulder. I looked over at my mom. "Who was on the phone?" I asked her, raising an eyebrow upward.

My mom handed me my bowl of pasta. "My friend, Reg! She's helping me with my date on Friday night.." My mom smiled and I smiled too.

"Mom! You got a date!? Oh my gosh!" I smiled widely and got up,  hugging her. "Who's the guy? Tell me details." I laughed and sat back down on Luke's lap.

"Well..I met him through Taylor's mom, actually. His name is David and he's super sweet, and his daughter is Kaitlyn Fease..." She looked at me and I gave her a face of disgust.

"I do not approve of him now, mom. That's Kaitlyn! Bitchy Kaitlyn!" I said and I frowned.

My mom frowned and shrugged. "I'm sorry, dear. But I really like this guy and it's been a while since I've been on a date, not since I dated Ryan." I nodded and shrugged.

"I can't hold you back from dating, mom. Just whatever you do..make sure David doesn't bring Kaitlyn over, please." I pleaded to my mom and she nodded as I took a bite of pasta. 

Luke looked at us as we talked about Kaitlyn. "What did Kaitlyn do?" He asked and I looked at him.

I shook my head and took another bite of pasta. "Noah cheated on me with her like a week after our one year...Then she tried to take Noah away from me, and all this other shit. Then she thought it would be okay to go around my whole school telling people I slept with every member of the football team.." I shook my head again and groaned. "She literally made my life hell last year, and everyone hated me because of it." 

Luke frowned and hugged me. "She sounds like a bitch, to be honest. If anyone ever does that to you, I will beat the shit out of them. Like I did to Noah." He laughed and kissed the side of my head, causing me to crack a smile. 

My mom had walked out and it was me and Luke alone in the kitchen. He kissed my cheek some more times as I finished my pasta and I got up, putting the bowl in the sink. "Let's go upstairs and watch some movies, shall we?"
