The Bite [Luke Hemmings AU]

Chapter Five

Claire's POV

I got out of the shower and dried my hair off the best I could. Then, I dried my body and put my clothes on. I dried my hair a little more. I looked through drawers and cabinets searching for a brush. I found one in the last drawer. I brushed my hair out and looked for some deodorant. I found some in the first drawer I looked and applied it to my underarms. I fixed my smeared make up and took a look at myself. If we were going to be stuck here for a few hours, I might as well look good in front of Luke. I looked for a tooth brush and tooth paste and had no luck.

I walked out of the bathroom and to the guest bathroom. The door was still locked. He was still in there? I knocked on the door and like popped his head in.

"Can I help you?" He said in a cute tone. I giggled slightly.

"Uhm is there a toothbrush and some toothpaste in there?" I asked and he shut the door. I assumed he was nude, the reason he wouldn't let me in or show anything, but his face. Minutes later he opened the door completely in just the boxers I gave him. He had a tooth brush and a tube of toothpaste in his hand. He handed me the items with a smile.

"Here you are. So, are we not leaving?" He asked. He seemed hopeful.

I chuckled, "Well, I don't know. If the storm doesn't pass we will," I said putting my hands on my hips, the toothbrush and toothpaste hitting my right hip. "Why?" I asked and he shrugged. I smirked and turned. I walked back to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I gurgled a little water and spit it out. I wiped my mouth with a hand towel. I walked out of the bathroom with my wet undergarments and dirty towel. I walked to the laundry room and put everything in the washer, including our clothes from earlier today. I didn't start it because I still needed Luke's boxers and his towel. While I was waiting for him, I sat on the couch and turned on the TV. Since no one was ever really here, it just had the basic channels. I settled on an abc Family movie playing. I didn't know what it was, but I didn't care.

After about five minutes, Luke appeared at the doorway. He had his wet boxers and his towel in his hands. I stood up and walked towards him. "Here I'll take those. I put mine in the washer. I also put your clothes from earlier in there too," I said reaching for the items of clothing. I took them to the laundry room and started the washer. I walked to the living room again and Luke sat on the couch I was sitting on. I took a seat next to him.

"Are you hungry?" I asked looking over at him.

He looked back at me with a smile. "Yeah, I'm starved," he said, leaning back in his seat a little. "Is there food here?" he asked a little confused.

I shook my head, "No, but we can go get some food. I'm not supposed to drive while it's raining, but 15 minutes to the city won't hurt. Let me go find some jeans or sweats and a couple jackets for us and we can go," I said with smile, standing up. I walked to my room and searched through the drawers. I found a pair of leggings and slipped my shorts off. I pulled leggings up my legs and started looking for a jacket. I couldn't find one, so I walked to Jace's room. I looked through his closet hoping to find a jacket. I found one with a jean vest attached to it and another plain black one. I slipped on the vested one and walked out to the living room to where Luke was still sitting. I handed him the jacket and smiled, taking it.

"Oh yeah, sorry, but can I use your phone? I need to call my dad. If I don't call him, he'll probably have a search party or worse, he'll start assuming things. I mean, my dad doesn't know you, but I need to tell him we're just at the lake-" Luke cut me off.

"I get it. You told me what happened to your mom. I would to," he said handing me his phone. I gave him a small smile.

"Thank you," I said before exiting the room and dialing his number.
