Mecca

rainy day

*Luke's POV*

About a week had gone by since the party and my last in-person interaction with Mecca. That was one of the best nights of my life. First, getting a partial nude snapchat from her where her boob was sort of exposed. Then, grinding on her while she twerked on me for a few hours. Then watching her sing and have fun with her friend. Then hearing her reveal some of her feelings about me. It felt like a movie. But I haven't worked up the balls to bring the last part up, because she was clearly very drunk and didn't remember any of it. So I settled for keeping up our snapchat streak and updating her on which records I had listened to. 

It was fun being friends with her, but it was also pretty frustrating not being able to tell her how I feel about her. Normally, if a girl as hot as Mecca acted the way she does towards me, I would get her to fuck and forget about her. And I know it sounds cliché, but Mecca was different. She was intelligent and independent and cool and mysterious, and all I wanted to do was get to know her better. But I wasn't sure if my desire to connect with her was mutual or not.

I was sitting at home alone on my couch when my phone buzzed. It was Mecca.

"Luke!" she shouted frantically as soon as I accepted the call. "Nicole took the keys to our apartment and she's not gonna be home for a while and it's raining like hell out and I'm on my way to your place" she rambled loudly over the rumbling of what I assumed was the subway station.

"Well good afternoon to you too" I said rushing around to clean up the place before she arrived. 

"Thanks for letting me stay over" she laughed slightly, calming down. "I'll be there in like five" 

***Mecca's POV***

This would be the third time that I've been to Luke's house and I still had little butterflies in my stomach the whole way there. Something about the thought of being with him in person made me feel excited and anxious and happy at the same time. I hadn't seen him in person since the party, so hopefully things won't be too awkward between us. I thought about things to talk about with him while I made the two blocks walk from the subway station to his house. 

I knocked really loudly and he almost immediately opened the door like he was waiting for me there. He greeted me and smiled sheepishly and kind of just stared at me until I asked him to come inside.

"Oh, duh" he laughed nervously. "Sorry" by now, my shirt was soaked though and I made a note in my head to thank Nicole for making me put on a bra. "Do you want something to change into maybe? Then I could dry your clothes off for you?"

"That would be great" I said and he led me into his room.

"Lucky for you, Michael has shrunken some of my clothes" he said. Lord I forgot he's so casually cute in person. 

His walls were covered in posters of what I assumed were famous rock bands, and his bed was strewn with sheet music. I snooped around some more while he went to his closet to find some shrunken clothes. He had a lot of pictures of his family on his nightstand. I observed them for a while before Luke came back and handed me a stained baseball tee and a pair of grey sweatpants.

"Thanks so much" I said, smiling up at him.

"Yeah no problem" he said awkwardly standing there again.

"So uhh...I'm gonna...get changed"

"Oh right" he laughed again and rushed out of the room. I walked downstairs after I put on Luke's clothes. The shirt fit like a crop top and I had to roll the sweatpants up so they would fit my waist. Usually I didn't really put much effort into my appearance, but for some reason, I wanted to make sure I looked decent in front of Luke.

Luke looked up from his phone and instantly busted out laughing. And if his laugh wasn't so cute and infectious, I would've gotten mad at him. 

"What's funny?" I could feel my face scrunching up and I crossed my arms around my chest. 

"Nothing you just look like a hobo" he replied, still laughing. "Not that being homeless is funny" he added.

"You're terrible" I said, dropping myself down on the couch next to him.

"Really" he said in a fake surprised/hurt tone.

"No, but that reminds me" I said quickly. I wanted to talk about what happened at the party. I didn't remember a whole lot of what happened after I got drunk, but I do remember grinding on him and kissing him at some point. "Usually I don't drink because I do stupid stuff that I end up regretting when I'm drunk" I started off. "But I don't regret kissing you at the party last week. You're one of the realest guys I've ever met and I really like talking to you and being around you" I admitted, my palms sweating and my heart racing as I looked at him.

A smile spread across his face and he opened his mouth for a while, thinking of what to say I assumed.

"Well that's a relief" he sighed. "I thought you forgot about everything that happened that night. I haven't been able to stop replaying that party in my head" he said. "I know we haven't known each other very long but I've never met anyone more amazing and beautiful as you" my heart started beating even faster and I felt the widest grin ever spread across my lips.

"Wow..." I was kind of speechless. "Thanks" I said. "I think that means we can make out now" I said cheekily. Then, Luke scooped me up and placed me on his lap. We looked into each other's eyes and he cupped my cheeks with his rather large hands. I held one hand on his shoulder and the other on his chest. His lips kissed mine first and I immediately returned the favor. 

We were full on making out for about a minute when my phone buzzed my pocket. Dammit. Isn't it supposed to be "saved by the bell"... not "the bell interrupted the most romantic moment of my young life".
