Disconnected

Regular Day

Listen to "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz during this chapter. You'll probably feel touched or feel nothing lol.

"I love your family Luke!" I say giving Luke a little nudge in the arm. "Thanks?" Luke responds with a nervous laugh.

"No! You can't do that! That's totally cheating!" I hear Luke's cousin yell playfully at someone. "I guess we should be getting back to the game?" I ask Luke. "No. I want to stay in here with you. Just the two of us alone." Luke says to me and wraps his arms around my waist. "But we're only in your room... the room you sleep in when you spend time over here." I say. "Yea. I know you needed a towel, but I feel like we just need a few minutes together today." He says. "We spend almost every single day of our lives together." I giggle. "Fine." Luke says and crosses his arms like a little kid. "Don't be mad," I say hugging him from behind. "... ugh, fine. But only ten minutes! Okay?" I tell Luke. "Okay." He says.

"So what do you want to do exactly?" I ask laying on Luke's bed.Luke doesn't say anything but bites his lip, lays beside me, and looks down. "Noooooope. Not today!" I say. "What're you saying that for? All I did was bite my lip." He says and bites his lip again. When he bites his lip, it's tempting for me to just tackle him and passionately kiss him. "Stop biting your lip!" I say trying to look away. "Why? Is it sexy to you?" He asks biting his lip again. I look away, but Luke grabs my arm and brings his face close to my neck. "You can tell me if you can't take it anymore..." Luke whispers in my ear. I flip over and slap him. "What the hell was th-" I shut him up by kissing him. "This is why you shouldn't bite your lip around me." I say stopping the kiss. "Maybe I should..." he says.

After about 20 minutes of kissing, laughing, and cuddling, we go downstairs and there's no one inside except Luke and I. "Where'd everybody go?" I ask. "I think they're probably outside." Luke says. "Doing what?" I ask. "Hmm, I don't know. Getting married." He says. "Hey don't be so sarcastic Lukie." I say messing up his hair. "Don't call me Lukie. Please. It's just... ew." He says. "This is why I love you. Come on. Let's NOT miss the vows." I say giving Luke a little peck on the cheek and walking towards the door. "Are you coming?" I ask Luke. "Y- yea. I'll be there in a few." He answers. "Okay." I say walking out of the door.

Luke's POV:

Rachel makes my life much more happier than it is. My life is a piece of shit, but when it comes to Rachel, she's the light of my life. She's my...... she's my everything. I would give up anything to have her with me forever.

"Luke?" I hear a voice say from behind me. "Rachel?" I ask. "Is that you?" I add. "Luke! Oh my god!" I hear someone yell with excitement and runs into my arms. "Um... who the hell is this?" I ask. "It's Hayley!" I hear someone say. "H- Hayley?! Who invited you here?! What're you even doing here?! We're not together anymore!" I start yelling and I remove her from me. "Don't be scared of me. It's not like I'm gone rape you or anything." She says. "Please. Um I need to go. Like now! Bye!" I say running out the door.

I quickly look inside the window to see if Hayley is gone. There's no sign if her anywhere so that's good. Dammit I think I missed the vows. I sit down next to Rachel. "What took you so long?" She whispers to me. "Oh um... I just had to... pee very badly. Heh." I begin to say. "Well you missed the vows." Rachel tells me. "I know." I say.

...

Once the wedding is over I quickly get into my car once I see Hayley again. "Yea it was really really nice meeting you all. I hope I'll be able to see you guys another time." I hear Rachel saying to my family. "Well time to go. Hehe. Let's go. Now please." I say rushing Rachel.

"Woah. What's with the rush?" Rachel asks me. "Nothing. I just... lets just go to my house." I say. "Alright. What will I wear exactly? I don't want to be in this dress all day." Rachel tells me. "You can just wear one of my shirts. They're long so no need to worry... unless you want a short shirt then that's fine too." I smirk. "Let's go." Rachel giggles.

Rachel's POV:

Luke seems so traumatized. It's like he's just seen a deer get shot in the head. "Luke, are you sure you're okay?" I ask. "Yes! I swear! I'm 100% fine!" He yells. "Don't lie to me." I say. "Ok ok! Fine! But can't I just tell you when we get to my house?" He asks. "Sure. I don't want to pressure you while driving." I say.

...

Once we get to Luke's house, we change into comfortable clothes and we each get a cup of Starbucks coffee. "Do you want any caramel?" Luke asks me. "Of course. Was it that hard?" I ask. "No not really." Luke giggles. I get off of the couch and I stand next to Luke as he pours some caramel into my coffee. "When I look at you, my eyes are blinded by how much you light up my world. You amaze me in many different ways." Luke says to me. I'm astonished by his words. I give him a big hug. "The same goes from me to you." I say. "I'll tell you what I needed to tell you," Luke says to me. "And also... I love you too." He adds. I do nothing but blush.

"So when you were gone, I was astounded when you said you loved me so I just paused for a minute, and then my... m- my ex girlfriend came in the room unexpectedly. I didn't even know she was at the wedding. She ran into my arms and I could tell her voice was full of excitement. I got her off of me and then I just left." Luke tells me.

"You didn't want to tell me that?" I ask. "No." Luke says. "It's perfectly fine. And to think of it, it's actually quite funny." I say to cheer up Luke. "Eh. I guess it is." Luke says. "It's pretty cold in here." I say. "All I have on is a large shirt and some socks." I add. "That's why I'm here." Luke says and grabs me close to him on his lap.

"You are way too beautiful. I just can't... I can't..." Luke begins to say and then starts kissing me. "Wait..." I say stopping the kiss. I get up to go get a candle from Luke's room.

Once I come back downstairs, I hop back onto Luke's lap. "This would be even better." I say. "Light it up then." Luke says. I light up the candle and Luke and I start kissing again.
