Chapter 6

I walked back up to my apartment and unlocked the door. I kicked my shoes off, walked into the kitchen, and set my bag on the counter. I took out my phone and plugged it in since it died overnight. It was only 12 pm and I didn't need to be ready for Luke and I's date until 6:15.

When my phone turned back on I had 3 missed calls from Ryan along with 13 text messages. They ranged from him telling me that he loved me and wanted me back along with him believing Luke couldn't please me like he could to how much he hated me. I never responded or called him back. I did have a missed call from my friend Emma and she left a voicemail asking me if I wanted to hang out later.

I sent her a message back telling her I had plans and maybe some other time and she responded back seconds later, like usual, and said that's fine.

I sat down on the couch and watched probably 2 episodes of Walking Dead and then fell asleep.

I woke up and it was 5:07. Shit. I had to be ready for my date with Luke by 6:15!!

I quickly ran into the bathroom and got a shower. I shaved and washed my hair then got out. By that time is was already 5:45. Haha fucking great. I ran into my room with my towel on and went straight to my closet. I haven't even picked anything out yet.

I finally decided on a pair of white, pre torn skinny jeans and a baby blue crop top with a black jean jacket. I did my make up. I put on some foundation, eyeliner, and mascara. Luke has seen me before without makeup and it never bothered me then but now, for some reason, I get all self conscious.

When I finally finished getting ready it was 6:10 and Luke was going to be here any minute. I heard a knock at the door and ran to it assuming it was Luke. I opened the door with a smile on my face and it quickly dropped. A dark haired boy was leaning in my doorway with a smug grin on his face.

Ryan.

"Miss me"

"Hell no. Why are you even here" I snapped back.

"I miss you" I could here slurring in his words.

"Well you weren't missing me when you were cheating on me"

He sighed and rubbed a hand on face. I kept praying that Luke would show up and make him leave. I leaned back to get a glimpse of the clock in the kitchen and it was 6:15. Luke should be here right now and we should be leaving.

"I wouldn't have if you would've just given me what I wanted" he retorted.

Now I was pissed off. Ryan knew how I felt about sex. He asked me multiple times if I wanted to and I always shot him down, telling him I didn't feel well or I wasn't in the mood. Truthfully I only wanted to with someone that I loved, and I didn't love Ryan. The sad thing about this is that when I caught him cheating I was beginning to feel like I was starting to love him. That's why it hurt so bad.

"Don't give me that bullshit. You told me you were willing to wait for me and you lied. All you ever wanted was sex and I was stupid to stay with you after I realized that"

He opened his mouth to say something but a different voice came out

" I thought I told you the last time to stay away from her. Do I need to do it again?" Luke said, standing behind Ryan.

"About time you showed up" I mumbled as Luke shoved past Ryan to stand with me inside and wrapped his arms around my waist.

It was 6:23 and Luke was almost 10 minutes late. I'm just glad he showed up now so I wouldn't have to deal with Ryan by myself any longer. Even though Ryan never seemed harmless, I don't know what he could do when he was drunk.

"Well at least I'm here now" Luke whispered in my ear.

"Wow you just show up at the greatest of times don't you?" Ryan yelled, throwing his hands up in the air.

"Yea I do don't I?," Luke chuckled, "now why don't you get the hell out of here and leave Kass alone?"

"Fine. I'll go. But listen to me Kassidy, don't come crying to me or anyone else when he leaves you. He's only just trying to get into your pants. He's liked you forever and now is using this opportunity to do it. Because your vulnerable." Ryan shot at as then stomped off.

"Well that was easy" Luke said

"Yea...I guess"

Did Ryan really mean what he said? Not about the whole Luke trying to get into my pants thing, but about Luke liking me forever. I had a small crush on Luke in the 9th grade and told my really good friend Hannah about it and she ended up telling Luke about it one night accidentally. He asked me about it and I realized I couldn't lie because he already knew. He told me that he liked me but only as a best friend, almost sister way, and that was it. All of my friends told me that they knew he liked me and was lying because he was scared but I was convinced that he didn't and the crush died down. Luke and I walked over into the living room and sat down on the couch, sitting in silence for a moment.

"Hey Luke," I said shyly, "what Ryan said, was it true?"

"About me wanting to get in your pants? Hell no! Kass, you know me better than that!" He looked hurt while saying it.

"No, not that. About you liking me for like forever."

"Oh," he paused for a second. "Remember when we were in high school and you and Ryan were starting to get closer?"

I nodded quickly, anticipating what he was going to say.

"Well he came up to me, asking about how he should ask you out and I guess I showed a little jealousy and he noticed. He told me that he knows that I liked you and that he's known since were were in 8th grade"

This was a complete surprise. I thought that he might have liked me a little towards the end of 9th but never since eighth. That's 4 almost 5 years.

"We you know how in 9th when Hannah told you that I like you then when you confronted me about it I said that they went away?"

"Haha yes." He chuckled, probably knowing what I was going to say already.

"Well I lied. It never fully went away" I said while grinning and looking at the ground.

I could feel my cheeks warming up and knew that they were a bright pink color now. I still can't believe that after all these years, now is the time I start getting all nervous around him. But it's all different now, Luke is my boyfriend now and I couldn't be happier.

"Well I'm glad it never went away." He said bluntly while pulling my chin up with his fingers.

Luke leaned down and kissed me softly, his lips moving slow while molding to mine. Before we could get to caught up I pulled away, grinning. I pulled my phone out of my pocket while Luke laid his head on my lap. When I looked at my phone it was already 6:45.

"Luuuuke," I said, dragging it out, "you know it's 6:45 right? You told me we were leaving at 6:15."

He groaned a little and looked up at me with a small smile on his face. I loved when he did things like this. I ran my fingers through his blonde, quiff styled hair as I looked in his bright blue eyes. These were some of the things I loved about Luke. These are what made him perfect to me.

"Well, I thought that maybe we could stay here tonight now maybe. I have some different ideas for us now"

And with that Luke sat up and attached his lips to mine.
