I got into my car and banged my hands on the steering wheel and placed my head on my hands. I felt a tear roll down my cheek and leave a dark imprint on my jeans. I drove home with so much anger I had to pull over multiple times because I was that mad, and it was only and ten minute drive.

I walked into the condo to notice that Luke was still in bed. I threw my purse and walked up the stairs into the room. I plopped on my bed face first and screamed into my pillow. Luke shot up like a rocket. "What's going on" he shouted half asleep. "I'm down here and i'm super pissed" I said into the pillow.

Luke bent down and onto the bed placing his hand on my back "What's wrong", "Blair knows who killed Mack but won't say anything because she's worried about her own well being" at this point I was so mad I just started crying.

Luke, sitting indian style brought me up to his chest and held me. I buried my head into his chest and he grazed his hand up and down my back, letting all the tears out.

After awhile, I took a shower, alone I might add, and put on the same clothes I was wearing earlier and made my way to the living room. I sat on the left side of the couch and turned on the tv. "You do know we have to go to the store today at some time" Luke pointed out as he walked into the room.

I continued to look down at my phone "I don't want to adult today" I said without looking at him. "Well it's one, you have to go and do something sometime" Luke said pulling my phone from my hand "I would rather sit here" I smiled "Too bad" he responded.

He pulled me up by my arms and grabbed my waist, pulling me close into him where I can basically hear his heartbeat. I pushed my lips up to his and embraced into a kiss. "Get your purse" he said pulling apart.

We drove for about an hour until we reached the store. "I hate this place" I mumbled as I waved around looking for Luke's hand. "I know but we just have to adult for an hour or less" he let out a chuckle.

Luke grabbed a shopping cart letting loose of my hand. We walked in and around the store getting stuff we didn't need or stuff that we probably won't eat. "What sounds good for dinner" Luke asked "Let's just barbecue some chicken or something" I suggested.

By the end of our shopping trip we managed to get nothing that we actually needed but things that we didn't need. We pulled into the driveway and over to the back trunk to get all the bags. I unlocked the door with my one free hand and put the bags onto the kitchen table.

"Why did that take us longer than I thought" Luke asked "Probably because we drove an hour out just to go to the grocery store" I smiled and kissed his cheek as I walked into the kitchen.

"I'm going to start cooking these" Luke announced as he grabbed the chicken and headed out the back door. I was putting things into the cupboards and found a can of sliced pineapple "Don't forget these" I gave Luke the can.

After I finished putting the stuff away I grabbed two bottles of Kona Brewing and head out the back door. "A beer?, way to switch things up" Luke took the beer and opened the grill.

I took a seat on one of the chairs we have on the balcony. "This is adulting" Luke said as he came and sat on the arms rest next to me "This I can cope with" I responded back. I put my arms on his back as we clanked our beer's together and took a drink.

I went inside and took our beer bottles with me. I placed them in the sink as I grabbed two plates and some side dishes from the fridge. Luke came in with a try of grilled chicken and pineapple and placed it onto the counter. I put some chicken on his plate with some pineapple, pasta salad, and some fruit and handed it to him. After I served myself I put my plate outside on the table next to Luke's.

He came out onto the patio with another two beer's in his hand and a cap opener. We ate and drank as we watched the waves and some people come by to catch a late surf. After we finished Luked grabbed our plates and we both walked into the kitchen to wash the plates.

As Luke finished up doing the dishes, I went upstairs to change into my pajamas. I heard Luke turn on the over speakers that went around the house playing some 80's. I opened up the balcony door from my room and sat on one of the piece of furniture sitting outside.

I heard Luke come up stairs and into the room and out onto the balcony. He placed two wine glasses and a bottle of Zinfandel on the glass table. "Are you trying to get me drunk" I laughed as Luke poured our glasses. He sat in the chair next to me and reached for my hand that was hanging off the arm rest.

"The sunset is so beautiful" I said "It really is" Luke agreed taking a drink from his glass. We sat there hand in hand until the sun finally turned in and there was nothing but darkness. Luke grabbed the empty glasses and half empty bottle and put them in the kitchen.

I unmade the bed then went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and take out my contacts. I crawled under the sheet's as Luke walked into the room closing the door behind him. He walked over to the bathroom door and closed it. Luke sat down on his side of the bed, pulled his shirt over his head and laid down in bed while turning the tv on.

I scrolled thru my phone for awhile until I took of my glasses, put my phone on the charger, kissed Luke goodnight, and fell asleep on my side.
