Chapter 14
*Luke's POV*

I roll over to find that the left side of my bed is empty. Angel must already be up. Standing up I look around my room. It feels so good to finally be home in Australia. I walk down stairs to find my mom in the kitchen with a cup of coffee.

"Good morning sweetie." She says smiling

"Mornin Mom. Where's Angel?" I ask

"She went for a run around the neighborhood. She should be back any time." She answers

"Alright thanks." I grab a piece of toast and pop it into the toaster.

"Luke I'm going out with some friends for the day. I'll be home to make dinner. I'll see you later" she kisses my cheek before walking out the door.

Within minutes the door opens again to reveal a sweaty Angel dressed in a turquoise tank top and black running shorts.

"Hey babe." She says walking up to me.

"Ew your sweaty go shower." I scold her playfully when she wraps her arms around my bare stomach.

"Oh you're just so nice to me." She says sarcastically.

I watch her small figure disappear up the stairs. Her body has been so abused over the last years that even when she eats she somehow never gains any weight. She barely weighs ninety pounds and it worries me all the time.

Fifteen minutes later Angel reemerges in simple jean shorts and a polka doted purple tank top. Her blond hair is still wet from her shower. I smile at her as she walks towards me. Instead if hugging me like i though she was going to se winks ad slips under my arm. She grabs a mug and pours herself a cup of coffee.

"I feel neglected." I pout crossing my arms over my bare chest.

"Oh your fine." She says smirking at me and taking a sip out of her cup.

"You're terrible." I roll my eyes and try not to laugh.

She sets her cup down and walks closer to me. Her small hands take hold of my crossed arms and she breaks them apart wrapping her arms around me. I return her gesture and hold her close to me.

"Do you still feel neglected?" She says quietly agains my chest.

"Yes." I answer immediately.

She rolls her eyes and stands on her tip toes but only hovers centimeters from lips. She slips a hand around my neck and I lean in the rest of the way. The feeling of her lips on mine is one of the best. I place me hand on her waist and pick her up. She wraps her legs around my waist and I set her on the counter I was previously leaning on.

She pulls away breathless and smiles at me. Our foreheads are leaning together when she brings her hand up and traces the outline of my lips. She giggles a bit as her thumb lays with my black lip ring. I laugh and kiss her finger tips. She's perfect.

"I almost forgot." I say totally ruining the moment.

I run up the stairs the stairs to my bedroom with Angel on my heels. I open the closet doors and pull out the black guitar case.

"Wait is that-" Angel starts but I cut her off."

"Yeah it's your guitar. Your foster parents dropped it off before they left. I just now remembered instill have it." I say.

She gingerly opens the case to reveal the shiny black guitar. Her fingers nimbly move along the strings as she holds it in her arms.

"Can you still play?" I ask

"We're going to find out." She says smiling.

I grab my acoustic from the corner of the room and sit next to her on the bed. Before I can say anything else she starts strumming the familiar tune of Taylor Swifts Love Story. It was always one of her favorite to play.

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting all that's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, It's a love story, baby just say, Yes." She sing the finish chorus and I've forgotten how beautiful her voice is!

"Your voice is still just as amazing as ever!" I applaud her and she blushes.

"Sing something with me." She pleads

"Alright what?" I ask

"Do you remember Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson's Don't You Wanna Stay?" She asks

"Yes of course!" We had played this one together a lot back in the day.

She plays the first couple of chords and I join in and then begin to sing the first verse.

I really hate to let this moment Touching your skin, and your hair falling slow When a goodbye kiss, feels like this

She blends her voice with mine to continue to the chorus.

Don't you wanna stay here a little while? Don't you wanna hold each other tight? Don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight?

Don't you wanna stay here a little while? We can make forever feel this way Don't you wanna stay?

Angels voice is just that, an angels, as she starts the second verse.

Let's take it slow, I don't wanna move too fast I don't wanna just make love, I wanna make love last When you're up this high, it's a sad goodbye

Don't you wanna stay here a little while? Don't you wanna hold each other tight? Don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight? Don't you wanna stay here a little while? We can make forever feel this way Don't you wanna stay

Oh, you feel so perfect, baby
Yeah, you feel so perfect, baby

Don't you wanna stay here a little while?

Don't you wanna stay here a little while? Don't you wanna hold each other tight? Don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight? Don't you wanna stay here a little while? We can make forever feel this way. Don't you wanna stay?

Our voices fade out and we play the final chords. I look at her and she's smiling ear to ear. Her eyes have regained their sparkle and its the lost amazing sight I've ever seen.

"I forgot how good it felt to play!" She says excitedly.

"Someday I'll have to teach you some of our songs and then you can jam with the boys and me." I say putting an arm around her shoulder.

"That would be perfect."

I kiss her gently. This is perfect.
