2K AYOOOO TY 

*Luke’s POV*

Before I had chance to go into Bennie’s room to persuade her about the party and somehow take her diary, I bump into her mother.

Andy looks happy from what I can tell, her eyes are wide and I can see a hint of joy in them. Her lips are slightly turned up at the corners, as if she’s smiling. Her outfit consists of a pink top with large dungarees, she sort of looks like a farmer. Why would you choose to look like a farmer?

“Luke, thank you so much for last night. I just wanted to let you know that you’re welcome here whenever you want and I’m sure Bennie is so thankful that she has someone like you!” She says, cheerily. “I was just about to make breakfast, will you be joining us?”

“I gotta get back to my mum and my shi-“ I pause knowing she wouldn’t approve of my language and probably re-label me. “My brothers.”

“Oh I see... Well like I said, you’re welcome anytime.”

“Thanks.” I try my best to smile persuasively. I even show my teeth and my nose snares and I feel like a right dick.

Fuck.

Shake it off.

Play it cool.

I turn my back and hear Andy making her way down the stairs.

“Andy, wait!” My voice says without even thinking. “There’s this party later and I was wanted to know if-“

“Don’t you think I’m a bit old for these types of parties?” She laughs and I stand still staring. When she realises I’m not laughing along, she begins to cough to brush away the awkwardness.

“Well, I wanted to know if Bennie could come...” I say.

“Bennie? She’s never been invited to a party before!” She practically screams.

“Yeah, I mean if she can come? If you’ll let her...”

“Oh I see what you’re getting at...” She winks. “Of course she can, just make sure she’s safe. I’m not going to set a curfew, so make sure you look after her.”

“Yeah I will. I will keep a very close eye on her; think of me as her personal body guard.” I grin.

“Okay, well I assume you’ll be here later to pick her up?” She questions.

“Yeah, around eight or nine...” I nod and Andy joins in.

She then leaves me outside Bennie’s door alone, still nodding. I stop my head and open her door without knocking.

As soon as I spot her, I notice that she is almost wearing a replicate of her mother’s outfit.  The only difference is she is wearing a white tank top under the farmer’s thing. I walk up to her and grab her close to me.

“I will pick you up later...” I whisper into her ear and she looks so confused. “The party, you’re going.”

She shakes her head at me and begins to open her mouth and I see my opportunity. I stick my lips against hers and slip my tongue into her mouth. Her arms wrap around my waist and she sort of brings me into a hug. I taste the minty flavour of her freshly brushed teeth and my mouth moves along with hers. She pulls away and kind of giggles at our previous action.

“Like I was going to say, parties aren’t really my thing.” I can see her cheeks slightly redden and I grin at my achievement.

“Bennie?”

“Yeah?”

“You’re going.”

She laughs again and I slip my hand into hers, my fingers sliding into the gaps between hers. I stare into her eyes and they widen and she turns a darker, but brighter shade of red.

“There’s no need to embarrassed, like I said earlier.”

She then starts to guide me towards the door and down the stairs. I stop her and she takes a step closer to me.

“Breakfast?”

“You need some time alone with your mum...” I make up a shitty excuse on the spot.

“I don’t want to be alone with her.” She murmurs, her eyes falling to her feet, along with her head.

Instead of using my hands to pull her chin upwards to get eye contact, I go down to my knees and I get direct contact. She sort of smiles at my gesture and I’m glad she’s starting to believe that ‘I like her’, that’s what I need. For this to look believable.  

“Just do it, if not for her, for yourself.” I recall the cheesy line from a movie I saw Daniel watching.

“Please come.” Her eyes start to wet and I can tell she’s about to cry. She must have done something really bad to feel the need to cry about spending thirty minutes eating breakfast with her mother.

“Bennie...” I start.

“I know.” She pauses. “I’ll go.”

“Good.” I recognise the tone I use, the same tone I use when I talk to my dog.

“What about you?”

“I’m going home; taking a long shower then later I’ll pick you up.”

She nods and I kiss her head, she walks down the stairs and I wait for her to completely disappear into the kitchen when I rush back into her room, and look in the only place I’d seen girls hiding their diary, under her pillow. I pull it out and tuck it under my shirt and the top of my jeans. I then look towards the camera and blow a kiss.

Seconds later, I receive a text from James, telling me that I’ve done a ‘good job’. My feet take me right up to the camera where I plant a kiss on it, before sliding down the roof like I first did. I don’t care how stupid it is, I don’t even care that there is a door downstairs, I like the adrenaline of sliding down it.

I’ve always liked doing stunts.

I jump to the floor, landing on my feet and begin to jog down the street with the diary, down jeans, in front of my dick.

I stop, pull out the diary and make my way back to my house.

My lips turn into a grin when I think about all the fun I am going to have tonight at the party. Bennie won’t even know what’s going to hit her, and when it does, it will be hard.
