RYDER'S POV
I leave LA today.

Not that I want to.

But I know I'll be back soon.

Luke rolled over and pulled me closer.

That's how I knew he was awake.

He tightened his grip.

"What are you doing?" I giggled.

"I'm not letting you go." He said.

"But I have to." I whined not wanting to blow my cover with my parents.

"I'm not letting you! You're mine forever!" He said.

I laughed as he started tickling me.

"How'd I get so lucky?" I asked.

"You showed up to my meet and greet." He said.

"Look at you making sense." I said.

"I guess your magic powers are rubbing off on me." He said.

I laughed as we finally got out of bed.

"Well here we are again." Luke said as he slammed my trunk shut.

"Yeah." I sighed not wanting to leave him or California.

We were about to kiss when Mikey came running out of the house.

"Ryder! Wait!" He called after me.

I watched as Luke rolled his eyes.

I tried hiding my laugh with an awkward cough.

"I had to tell you that on behalf of Griffin, I apologize. I know you'd rather hear it from her but she isn't going to. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier but the guilt was just eating me up." He explained.

"Oh well uh it's okay I guess. I mean you didn't do anything wrong but it's fine." I said taken back a little.

He gave me a thumbs up and ran back inside.

"Where were we?" Luke asked as I laughed.

His lips connected with mine.

I still get butterflies from that.

"I'll see you soon. Okay, princess?" He asked.

I nodded my head as he opened my car door for me.

"Don't forget to text me." He said kissing my cheek.
