That Boy With The Beanie

Your fault

“Your fault” I say, serious, but I am only joking. Luke looks shocked.

“Um your fault” He says, trying hard not to laugh. After a minute or so, of staring straight into each other’s eyes, we burst into laughing. After another few minutes of laughing we stand u, Luke picks up the nugget and the box and throws it into the bin. We walk, hands entwined, towards the exit of the mall, which is only a few metres away from us. We leave, and Luke looks at me.

“You’re knackered aren’t you?” His Australian accent glimmers through, I wonder how he knows I was tired?

“Yeah, kinda” I say, slightly sad-like. He smiles. He is planning something.

“Okay” Luke smiles. Uh Oh. He picks me up, gently, by the waist and throws me over his shoulder in one quick motion.

“LUKE!” I almost screech “PUT ME DOWN!” But Luke doesn’t. He instead starts to run home. He reaches my block, near my house in an impressive 5 minutes, what should have been a 30 minute journey, where he doesn’t stop once. He finally puts me down. He gently, hands on my waist, places me down, after tossing me over his shoulder.

“Well, thanks a lot” I say, sarcastically “You are so annoying” I say. I’m not that mad, but still. He actually saved me walking, but I feel ever so slightly sick now.

“Welcomes” He says, simply and he leans down slightly to kiss me. I kiss him back, obviously, and I wrap my hands around his neck, gently. He places his hands around my waist, gently. We kiss or a few minutes, then we walk, hand in hand, towards my house.

We get there for 3:57 and knock on the door. I forgot my key again. Oops. Mum answers almost instantly and her face lights up when she sees us.

“Oh, come in you two lovebirds!” Mum shouts and she goes back off to the kitchen, she must be cooking. Luke lets me go through first, a gentleman as always. He follows after me.

“Mom we’re off to my room, me and Luke, okay?” I shout throught the hallway.

“Ok!” She shouts back after me “But no kissing!” She laughs. So does Luke. I do not.

We go upstairs and Luke jumps on my bed.

“TV?” I ask him.

“Film” He says.
