|Something Beautiful| ✔️

Chapter Thirteen

*Two Months Later*

Twirling my dress in the mirror, I giggle at how silly I am. The dress in wearing is absolutely gorgeous. No thanks to Alexa, my new bestie. I never thought in a million years that her and I would be friends, but we worked it all out. I'm glad to call her my friend.

From behind, Luke snuggles his face into the crook of my neck and I smile brightly. He slips his hands around my waist and embraces me. Staring in the mirror, I feel happy that my arm is healed and my headaches have basically disappeared.

"Hey, beautiful." He whispers into my neck. My hands on my waist, I giggle again and blush a deep red.

"Hey Luke? Stop making me blush. It's embarrassing." I say and laugh. Looking me dead in the eye, he smiles as well.

"Then stop looking so sexy." He whispers and shivers crawl my skin, a tingling sensation up my back and down my shoulders.

We've already done the dirty like last week. It was interesting. I was completely lost and confused half the time because I'm not sexy-like at all- and he was basically laughing the whole time. We ended up watching movies half-naked while eating popcorn in his room. That was definitely memorable.

"Stop, you're such a butt head." I say and turn to face him. He laughs and I smile again. His hands are gentle on my back and I look down at my feet. He makes me feel so happy. Burning a bright red, I try to hide my face from feeling the embarrassment. He chuckles lightly and runs his broad hands through my mess of brown hair.

"You make me so happy, you know that?" I say, barely above a whisper and he licks his lips, smiling as he does. His face glows with pure joy and I look up to face him. Gently, he places his hands, cupping my face, and leans in to kiss me. His lips dance with mine, rhythmically, and I dip into his.

My hands slide from my waist to around his neck. He bites my bottom lip and I moan against his mouth. My tongue slips into his mouth, hardly noticed, and he smiles against my mouth. He starts to walk and I stumble to walk with him, our lips still in contact. He shoves me against the wall, roughly, and I wrap my legs around his waist, his arms under me, supporting my weight.

"Are we actually going to do it this time." He says after he pulls away, still inches from my mouth. We've been dating for three months and it's been the best three months of my life. I've never felt more free around him. I trust him 100%. I don't doubt that for a second.

"Let's do it." I say as I whisper into his ears, secretly knowing that I could turn him on with a few words. He roughly shoves his lips on mine, forcing his tongue down my throat. I bite back and he pulls away again.

"You're hot when you're feisty." He says and I smirk. He dives back in and I slid my hand down his back.

"Hey, Jade! So, while I was at the store-Oh. Okay." Alexa screams as she bursts into the room. Luke pulls away and pulls his hands out from under me, thus dropping me to the floor. I land on my butt, very hard. Standing up, Luke turns to me, worry written on his face.

"Fuck. I'm sorry, Jade. I didn't mean to drop you." He says and I laugh. It hurts so bad that I'm laughing. He looks a tad confused but I dismiss the thought with a wave of my hand. Alexa stand there, laughing her butt off. Her hands over her mouth, the bags she brought are crowding her legs. Red peeking her face, I roll my eyes, still rubbing my butt from the floor contact.

"Ok. Ok. I'm done. Sorry. Ok, I'm done now." She says and picks up one of the bags on the floor. Before pulling out what's inside the bag, she tells Luke to leave because it's "girl stuff". She already knows the stuff me and Luke do, for the most part, and she knows that we've already done it. Although, she doesn't care.

"Tadaa! Look how sexy you're going to be!" She exclaims as she holds up lacy panties and a lacy bra.

"What in the actual hell, Alexa?" I yell and she laughs. My face turns annoyed and she smiles sheepishly.

"What? I thought you would like it. You know, for your "you" time with Luke. Mmhmm. You gotta get down to get some! How do you think Jack got some? You gotta work for it, my dear. Maybe that's why it failed the first time." She says and I smile. I walk over to her and hug her tightly. Still surprised by the embrace, she warms up to it and hugs me back.

"You're the best friend any girl could ask for." I whisper and she laughs, a smile apparent in her voice.

"You too. Love you." She says and I pull away. I tell her I love her back and she winks. Pointing her finger to the door, she signals that Luke is listening to every word we're saying.

"Anyways, I think I'm going to have to leave him. Or we can't have sex anymore!" I yell to make sure he hears it, obviously as a joke and consequences for listening to my conversations.

"Yeah! That's probably the best solution! You shouldn't have sex for probably...a year!" Alexa says, playing along. Stifling our laughter, Luke yells in anger. Stomping away, we hear him start throwing things of his. Me and her burst into laughter and roll on the ground, trying to not faint.

"I feel so bad." I say as get off the floor and wipe away my laughter tears. Still smiling from the reaction, I help Alexa up and she picks up her stuff.

"Well, that's my cue to leave. Here, take all of this and tell me what happens as soon as possible. Bye, honey!" She yells as she opens the front door and walks right out. I place the bags next to the bed and walk out of the room to apologize to Luke.

Seeing him sitting on the floor, I notice the stuff strewn about the room and I frown.

"What's wrong?" I play dumb just so he can explain. I want to hear him say it.

"Nothing." He says disgruntled and I try not to laugh.

"Oh come on. Something's obviously wrong." I say and he hmphs like a child. Still sour from the joke we played on him, he decides to spill the beans.

"Is it true? Are we really not having sex for a year? That's a long time." He whines and I let my laughter out. Confusion is written on his face, but he soon understands. I'm laying on the floor, laughing again.

"No you didn't. You did not. You're joking?" He exclaims and I nod. He slides over to me and bends down to my face. He kisses me roughly. I kiss him back and my eyebrows knit together. What is he doing?

"Excuse me, miss, but I believe that you're going to have to pay for that." He says and I smile.

"I love you." I say and soon regret it after it leaves my lips. Do I really mean that? Hoping it isn't a spur of the moment kind of thing, his words take me by surprise.

"I love you too."
