Fate (L.H.)

Chapter 8

I woke up feeling hot and sticky, I looked at the clock by my bed and it said 9:00. Ugh, too early. I laid in bed looking at my wall filled with pictures that I've taken from concerts I've been to, some being All Time Low, One Direction, and Ed Sheeran. After a few more minutes, I decided to get up and go to the bathroom, as I do every morning.

After doing my business I made my way down the stairs to the kitchen to get a glass of milk and a banana to take to the couch. My parents were still asleep seeing as they weren't in the living room. Glass of milk and banana in hand, I walked to my couch, carefully placing my glass down on the table and plopped down on the tan leather couch in the living room. I unplugged my iPad seeing that today is finally Wednesday, and I couldn't be more excited.

I finished my glass of milk and ate my banana and went up stairs to throw on some black comfortable shorts and my navy blue band t-shirt. Hot outfit, I know! I went into my bathroom, I brushed my teeth, hair, and put on some deodorant. I put my hair up into a loose ponytail and headed back down stairs to the couch to watch 'Grimm' that was in my DVR recordings. I laid on the couch, intently watching my show, when I heard a door open and saw my parents walking out of their room and into the kitchen to get some coffee. After they were done in there, they sleepily walked into the living room where I was sprawled out on the couch. I lazily sat up so my dad had room on the couch.

"Do you have any plans today?" My mom asked me, then took a sip of her coffee looking at the TV where 'Grimm' was ending.

"I have a date with Luke tonight after he has band practice which usually ends at 5." I replied, choosing the delete option on the screen to delete the show that had ended.

"Ohhhhh la la!" My dad said in a sing-song voice making weird facial expressions at me.

"Weirdo." I told him looking at him and chuckling.

After hours of doing absolutely nothing but snacking and watching random tv shows, I checked the time on the big clock hanging behind the couch I was sitting on and it said 3:30. Figuring I should start thinking about what to wear for my date tonight, I decided to ask Luke what I should wear.

"What kind of clothes should I wear tonight, formal, casual...?" I texted him.

Within a few minutes I received a text back saying,

"Something comfy, like shorts or any kind of comfortable pants and shirt:-)" Luke replied, using that smiley face he always uses.

"Ok! See you later! Have fun at practice." I replied, wondering what we were going to be doing considering what he said I should wear.

"Will do! I'll pick you up at 5" he texted back.

"Sounds great, see you then:)" I texted back on my iPad. Seeing as I had iMessage I could text anyone with an iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc., back on my iPad. It was truly a blessing when I didn't want to walk my lazy ass up the stairs to get my phone.

I decided I should try to make myself look more decent, so I trudged back up to my bathroom, and put on my usual makeup. I took out my ponytail and fishtail braided it straight down my back, which was fairly hard since my hair is extremely long. After I was happy with that, I went back into my room and looked through my closet and found a loose 'Pink' shirt. It was pink with the words pink written in black, pulling that out and throwing it on my bed. I pulled my current shirt off and pulled that one on. I decided my current shorts were alright, with what Luke had told me earlier. Feeling ok about my outfit choice, I pulled on some black socks, grabbed my phone, and went down stairs.

I looked at my phone and it said 4:50. Shit, I took a long time to get ready for something that seems as if it shouldn't have taken that long. Oh the fuck well! I grabbed my tan purse and slipped my black Vans on and putting some mint gum in my mouth. I have a weird obsession with gum, I go through gum way too fast, but I don't even care. Gum is my life.

I heard the doorbell ring, I grabbed my keys and shoved them into my purse, saying bye to my parents and I walked to the front door to see Luke. He was dressed in black basketball shorts and a white shirt.

"Hi Jacquelyn, you look cute." Luke told me smiling his adorable smile.

"Hey Luke, thanks and I can say the same for you." I replied smiling back, and grabbing the hand he was extending to me.

"Thanks." He said, and I closed the door behind me and we went to his car. He opened the door for me and I got in.

"So where are we going?" I asked Luke, wondering what we would be doing dressed as we were.

"Going to my house, but don't worry, you'll see soon enough!" Luke said sounding nervous but excited.

"I can't wait!" I told him anxiously, I wanted to know what it was now.

The radio was playing "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea featuring Charli XCX, we both started singing along laughing at how terrible we sounded because we were singing loudly and out of tune.

After the song ended we were at his house, he parked the car in the his driveway and we made our way out of the car and into his house. Once inside, we both took off our shoes, and went up to his room holding hands. He opened the door and let me go in first and I was speechless. He had made a fort with blankets and chairs and anything else you could think of.

"Holy shit Luke this is amazing, I love it!" I told him smiling a giant smile, my dimples appearing on my check. I turned around and hugged him, my face in his chest, arms around his torso. He laughed and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I'm glad you love it!" He told me still laughing and hugging me back just as tightly as I was hugging him. He turned off the light and I took off my purse and set it by his door and we crawled into the surprisingly spacious fort that had a bunch of pillows on the inside and a box of pizza in the middle, with cans of soda and napkins right beside it. And a little lantern thing towards the back which Luke turned on so we had some light. We could still see his tv from inside the amazing fort.

"I had my mom put the food in here while I went to get you." Luke told me with a nervous grin. I nodded my head smiling. We sat criss-cross on the ground across from each other, Luke opening the box and then handing me a Sprite. We put on some music and 'If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn' by Sleeping With Sirens came on. Grabbing a slice of pizza we hummed along making weird faces and talking about the randomest things. Conversation came so easily between us, I loved it.

"Can I ask you a question?" I looked up at Luke asking him.

"Sure." He replied looking up at me too and taking a bite of his pizza.

"When did you, uh, start liking me?" I asked him nervously eating some of my pepperoni pizza.

"Since I moved here in 7th grade." Luke replied blushing. "When did you start liking me?" He asked after a few seconds.

"Since you walked into class your first day here in 7th grade." I said looking down, so Luke couldn't see how much I was blushing, even though it was fairly dark.

"I guess this was fate." He said reaching out to grab my left hand that was free of pizza.

"I guess it was." I told him smiling and lacing our fingers together.

We continued talking and eating while music played softly in the background. This was one of the cutest things I've ever had happen to me or seen.

After we finished eating, Luke put in the movie "Identity Thief". I love this move, I find it hilarious. Luke and I cuddled up on the blankets spread out on the ground, pillows everywhere. I had my head on his chest and he had his arm wrapped around me, playing with my long hair while we laughed at the funny parts. After a while I began to get sleepy and I fell asleep thinking about how great my night had been, all thanks to Luke.
