Jerking awake to the sound of my phone ringing, I look at my phone to see my dad on the caller ID.

"Hey Dad," I say quietly, trying not to wake Luke sleeping on a pallet beside my bed.

"Hey honey," my dad says, "Are you getting ready for school?"

"I'm about to, how's your day been?"

"Great! Everything is going so well! How's things back at home?" My dad smiles through the phone.

"Who the hell is calling at 6:00 in the morning?" Luke moans, sitting up in the pallet and yawning.

"Who was that?" My dad frantically screams through the phone.

"Oh, um," I look at Luke, "Laken spent the night last night."

"Her voice got pretty deep," My dad questions.

"Um, yeah," I say, looking at Luke for assistance, "She has a really raspy morning voice."

Luke covers his mouth as he laughs.

"Oh," he pauses.

I hold my breath as I wait for his response, Luke laughing his ass off on the floor.

"Well tell her I said hello!"

"My dad says hi," I laugh. Luke bursts into laughter, having to leave the room.

"I'll talk to you later, Jaycee. Have a great day, I love you!"

"Okay, love you too. Bye."

I hang up the phone and throw it on my bed, covering my face with my hands as I continue to laugh, "That was so fucking stressful."

"I'm so sorry," Luke walks back in and tries to catch his breath from laughing, "I didn't even realize."

"It's fine," I smile, looking at my clock, "You actually wanna go to school or just skip?"

"Well, your dad knows you're awake now so I suggest going to school because you don't have the 'my alarm didn't go off' excuse and the school calls every time you miss," Luke explains.

"Okay, fine," I say, getting off the bed, "Why did you move to the floor last night?"

"I don't know, I didn't know if you were okay with me sleeping with you or not so I just decided to make a bed on the floor after you fell asleep."

"You're so fucking cute."

I get out of Luke's truck as I grab my backpack and the coffee we got from Starbucks. We walk in my front door, sitting on my couch and turning on the T.V.

As soon as the T.V. flickers on, Luke leans over and smashes his lips into mine.

He deepens the kiss and runs his hands through my hair as I lay down on the couch once again.

Luke breaks the kiss, but not the distance from my face.

I smile and as soon as I open my mouth to speak, my phone begins to ring.

"Please tell me that's not your dad," Luke laughs and I reach for my phone.

"It's Michael," I say and answer, saying hello and putting it on speaker.

"Yo, Jay," Michael screams, "Is Luke with you?"

"Luke is on top of her," Luke whispers and I giggle as he grabs my phone, "Hey Mikey, what's up?"

"Guys, come over and chill with us."

"Who's us?"

"AJ and me," Michael says, "We are playing video games and eating pizza please come over. We're at AJ's. Get your ass over here, bye bitches."
