Chapter Twenty Eight

Luke's POV

I smile into the kiss and peck Bec's lips briefly, pulling away to catch my breath. Becca throws her arms around my neck and lays her head on my chest.

"I love you," I smile.

"I love you too," Becca repeats, wearing a smile as well.

"To Pluto and back 74.5 times."

"That's our 'always'," Becca laughs and I chuckle.

"Life's a metaphor," I sigh. Becca smiles again and pecks my lips."Do you want to put on a movie?"

"Yeah," Bec says and hands me the remote. She shifts so that she can see the TV but doesn't get off of my lap. I scroll through the choices of movies, there is many I want to see. Becca facepalms when I click on The LEGO Movie.

She laughs anyway and we end up loving that movie. I buy the Everything Is AWESOME!!! song, and Becca downloads it to her phone as well. We put on another movie called Tammy and it's also funny. At 5:15, Becca receives a text from Lily.

*Hey Rebecca!* She sent.

*Hi, call me Becca* Becca texts back, they have a small conversation but I don't know what about. My phone buzzes as well, and I can't tell if it's a coincidence that Ashton texted me.

*Do you think it'll make Lily happy if I ask her out?* Ashton asks.

*Do you like her?* I ask.

*Yeah, I got to know a lot about her cuz I texted her a few minutes ago*

*Yes. Ask her out* A couple seconds after I send that, Becca's phone buzzes and it's from Lily. She explained that Ash just asked her out, plus a billion exclamation points. Becca smiles and texts her back.

*Well ain't she excited* I send to Ash, and I just know he's laughing. He sends a "lol" and has to go.

I turn off my phone and stare down at Becca as she texts Lily. She soon turns off her phone and looks back up at me.

"The day after tomorrow, I'm going out with Lily and Kristen," she says. I guess I'll hang out with Ash, Cal, and Mike. "At 12 to 5."

"Okay," I say. "Where are you going?"

"To the mall," Becca says simply. When she notices my sad expression, she says, "I can cancel if you want?"

"No! No, I mean... You can hang out with them, it's no problem, Bec. I don't mind," I say, trying to get her to give up and go with her friends. Man, I am such a screw up. Becca still looks unsure that she should go. "I'll invite Cal, Mike, and Ash. You can hang out with them, don't worry about me."

Becca smiles and kisses my forehead. I check the time, which says that it's 5:29. We spend the whole night talking, like we happen to do a lot. At around 10, I lead Becca upstairs and lay her down in the bed, I hover over her for a second and peck her lips before dropping down beside her.

"Goodnight Luke," She says. It's been a while since I heard her say that.

"Goodnight love," I say and crawl under the covers, next to her. My arms find their way around her waist and I hold her tightly for the remainder of the night.

At 9:53 I wake up, but Becca isn't next to me. I hear her brushing her teeth in the bathroom, and soon the noise stops and she walks out of the bathroom.

"Morning love," I yawn, sitting up and running a hand over my hair.

"Morning Luke," Bec smiles, she looks extra cute today. I smile to myself and hop out of bed to brush my teeth too, closing the door behind me so that Becca can change. When I swing the door open again, Becca chuckles at something on her phone. She put on some skinny jeans and a black tank top. If she were a dude, she'd look just like me.
