Wherever You Are || L.H.

VII

Our first, I love you's had just been exchanged and to know that I'm the cause that he is finally opening up, makes me extremely happy. It's weird how much has changed since I've known Luke. Now I'm seventeen, it's like we're a whole different version of our fourteen-year-old selves, and that alone is crazy. It feels great, now that I can finally say that I love him out loud.

"I love you." He says startling me.

"I love you more." I smiled and laid myself down on the mattress. He joined me and intertwined our fingers. We both laid in silence just looking at the ceiling. As the seconds passed, my dress became more and more uncomfortable. I finally decided that I should've agreed with Luke about wearing his shirt.

"Um, Luke?" I asked sitting up once again.

"Yeah princess?" He asked lifting his head up.

"Um, can I borrow your shirt?" I hid my face behind my hands. He chuckled and removed my hands from my face.

"Of course you can." He kissed my nose, making me scrunch it as he pulled away. He laughed and handed me his shirt. I grabbed it and placed it on my lap, as he laid back down onto the mattress. I turned to look at him and waited for him to turn away.

"What?" He raised his eyebrows, acting like he didn't know what I was asking for.

"Turn. Around." I hit him with my shirt; I mean his shirt. No I don't, I mean my shirt. I'm obviously keeping this.

"But why?" He pouted his bottom lip.

"Because I'm going to change." I answered crossing my hands over my chest. He rolled his eyes and put both his hands over his face.

"Happy?" He asked.

"Yes." I laughed and put my hands behind my back. How the hell did I put on my dress before? I can't unzip this dress. "Um, Luke?"

"Yes princess?" He asked from behind his hands.

"I can't take off my dress." I whispered making him laugh. "Can you help me?"

"No, you said that I couldn't see you undress." He said and I could practically see him smirking behind his hands.

"Luke," I warned him. "Don't play smart."

"I am smart." He laughed. I brought my hands up to his face and tried pulling his hands away from his face.

"Okay smart ass, help me please?" I asked as I let go of his hands, because he was too strong for me.

"Fine, okay." He took his hands off of his face, rolling his eyes as he did so.

"Thank you." I sighed and lifted my hair with my hands. I turned away from him, giving him for access to the dress' zipper. His cold hands accidentally hit my back making me jump and let go of my hair.

"Sorry." He apologized. He slowly pulled the zipper down. He placed a kiss on my shoulder and I gasped at his action. He kept placing kisses on my shoulders and as he pulled down the zipper, he would leave kiss on a different spot.

"L-Luke?" I stuttered. "W-What are you doing?"

"Nothing baby." He said into my back as he continued placing kisses.

"Stop." I said as my eyes fluttered closed.

"Why?" He asked moving my hair giving him a view of my neck. "Don't you like it?"

"Um," I opened my eyes looking over at him. He smirked when I didn't respond and he kissed my lips. I shook my head and backed away.

"Baby." He whined and pulled away.

"Luke." I rolled my eyes. "I have to change."

"Fine." He gave in and laid back down on the mattress.

"How will I look if I go to your house dressed in a T-shirt and shorts?" I laughed.

"Hot." He smirked. "Especially in my shirt."

"Luke, you're awfully horny tonight." I narrowed my eyes, bitting my lip to keep myself from laughing.

"I wonder why?" He said sarcastically and sat back up. "You're so fucking hot."

He sent a feeling through me that I had never experienced before. It made me feel different inside. He knew what he was doing and it was turning me on. Before I realized it, it was me, this time, who jumped on top of him. I fell on him, kissing him hungrily. It wasn't of me to be like this, and I hadn't thought about doing anything like this ever, but it was happening.

"Damn babe." He said into my lips as he kissed me back.

"Shut up, before I stop." I warned.

"Sorry." He apologized and sat up. I yelped as he flipped us over, so that he was on top. He was now in control and I wasn't going to fight over it. He smiled at me as he leaned down to kiss my lips. He pulled away and his hands traveled slowly, pulling down my dress, until it was completely off.

"What's this?" He smiled, gesturing at my necklace. He swooped his head down and blew lightly on my newly exposed skin. It was enough to make goosebumps form. He laughed at my reaction, making my heartbeat quicken and my breathing pick up its pace. "You're so beautiful and I'm glad that you chose me."

I'm pretty sure you know what happened after. I'll spare you the details because it's only for me and Luke to know and for you to imagine. It wasn't meaningless, I know that he loves me and I love him just as much. He is my everything and hopefully, he cherishes what I gave him because it was my all.
