Max's P.O.V:
What.... did I..... just do??? I thought. Did I just tell Luke I love him?? Did he just ask me out?? What is going on??!!

"Umm... Max?" Luke says. "Yeah?" "Are you ok?"

It was three hours since I've been in his dorm, but during two of those hours we were napping.

"Oh yeah I'm fine," I say. "Liar." He bluntly states.

"I ain't a liar hun."

"Are too"

"I AM NOT!!!"

"Sure...."

"You always do this...."

"Because it's funny"

"*phht* yeah ok"

Oh come on Max why do you have to be like that?

"You bored?" I ask him. "Yeah a little."

"I have absolutely nothing to do," I chuckle.

"Oh really?" He asks with a devilish glint in his eyes.

Crap.

"Oh what do you have in mind?"

"You'll see."

He better not.... OH NOOOO

Luke jumps onto me and pins me down. "No!" I scream. "Yes!" He says.

He tickles me. Again. I'm dying laughing.

"Luuuuke!" I laugh. "Stooooooop!" I try and grab his hands but he's too quick and moves them to my stomach. "LUKE THOMAS LEBLEU!" I scream. I finally grab his wrists. "Stop," I say. I look into his eyes pleadingly and he obeys.

"Okaaay...." he says sadly. "I'm sorry.... but that was a little too much," I say as I let his wrists go. His fingers travel down my stomach and I suck in a breath. It tickles, I thought. But it feels good. His touch sends a chill down my spine and his lips crash down on mine.

As I kiss him back, he pulls away and takes his shirt off. Those muscles.... STOP. THINKING. LIKE. THIS. I scold myself in my thoughts. He notices and smirks. "See something you like?" He teases. "Oh- be quiet!" I blush. He chuckles.

"What's so funny?" I ask. "You," he says. My blush deepens. "I love you, Max." He says. How I missed those words... "I love you too, Luke." He comes down to kiss me again, but just then his phone rings. "Ugh- what now," he says in an aggravated tone. He looks at his phone and his eyes widen. "Uh- I'll be right back," he says and goes in the bathroom.

Weird, I thought. I wonder what that's all about.

Luke's P.O.V:

"Hello?" I say into the phone after I lock the bathroom door.

"Luke. You need to come to the hideout. Now." My boss says. "What's wrong?" I ask. He's never like this.

"I'll explain when you get here." He says. Oh great just great I have to leave Max by herself. Looks like my plans for tonight are cut short.

"I'm coming," I sigh. I hang up and unlock the door. "Um... Max?" I say. "I have to go...." I say sadly.

"What? Why? Is something wrong?" She asks. I can see in her eyes she's worried. "Oh no don't worry. I have work. My boss just called me. I can't miss it. He needs me." "Okay..." she says sadly. I knew she would be sad...

"Hey... don't be sad. Please? I'll come back. I promise." I lift her chin to look her in the eyes. She looks so disappointed. I never want her to be sad. I hate when she's sad. If I ever did something to make her sad or mad at me, I'd beat myself up for it. I bring my lips to hers and kiss her slowly. She at least kisses me back.

I put my hands on her thighs and lift her up, and in instinct she wraps her legs around my waist. I back her up against the wall without breaking the kiss. My lips eventually leave hers and they travel to her jawline to her neck. I bite her earlobe and she giggles. "You like that?" I say into her ear and she giggles more and nods.

I bite her again and I feel her smile. "You adore me, don't you," she asks. "Yes I do," I tell her. I sigh heavily as I pull away from her. "I'll be back later," I tell her sadly. "Nooooo I want you to stay with meeee," she says in a childish tone. She's so cute....

"I'm sorry baby girl but I have to." She wraps her arms around my neck and hugs me. "I wish you could stay..." she says into my neck. "I do too," I say as I hug her back. I put her down and grab my shirt. "How about you go meet Ash?" "Yeah I guess I'll go back and meet her," she says.

I plant a kiss on her forehead. "I'll be back later." "Okay..." she says. I open the door and hold it open for her. I grab my keys and she walks to her dorm. "Bye..." she says from her doorway. She closes the door and I sigh.

I hate being a part of a gang. I want to leave... I thought.

Sorry this chapter is a little short.... I ran out of ideas. 😅excuse me. But tell me what you think! Please.
