Chapter Fifty Five

Listen to "Look After You" by The Fray while reading this and set it on repeat!!!

Becca's POV

It is 10:00 now, so I lay down on the bed and turn off the music I was playing. Luke appears in the doorway, he smiles and lays down next to me.

"Goodnight Luke," I say quietly.

"Goodnight love," Luke says. I kiss his lips gently as he wraps his arms around my waist, and drift to sleep.

At 9 I wake up. I brush my teeth and hair and swallow the pill I take routinely. Luke stirs in his sleep and opens his eyes, he sits up and sighs.

"Morning love," He says.

"Morning Luke," I smile. I pull some sweats and a tank top out of the closet, along with the white beanie that Luke and I both have. "I'm gonna get a shower but you can still get ready in the bathroom of you need to," I say. Luke nods and picks some clothes to wear out of the dresser, he changes while I peel mine off and step into the shower. I close the curtain though.

I wash my hair and body, humming along to the song Luke is singing quietly. I turn off the water and step out, dry my body off, and pull on the lazy-day clothes I set on the counter. Then I put on the beanie and turn on my phone, when I exit the bathroom.

It's 9:45, Luke and I are dressed and ready to do basically nothing. He has work today but that's not until 12. I search through the drawer of my nightstand and finally find the earbuds Lily gave me, smiling down at the black and purple wires. I attach them to my phone and go onto Spotify, I'm really craving some Plain White T's music so I search them and save the album's they wrote. The first song that plays is Hey There Delilah.

I heard a parody to this one time, it went like "Hey There Delilah, what's it like in New York City? I'm a thousand miles away, but girl tonight you look so pretty, yes you do. I set up a camera in your room, I'm watching you," And it was really funny.

The following song is Big Bad World, then Rhythm Of Love, etc. I do some chores around the apartment until 10:15, when I was trying to sweep the kitchen floor but Luke wrapped his arms around my waist and kept me still.

"I love you," He whispers in my ear. My back was pressed against his chest so I couldn't hug him back, but I put the broom down and smile down at his arms.

"I love you too," I say. Luke kisses my hair a couple times, which makes me grin a lot, and other turn around to kiss him back. I press my lips to his and wrap my arms around his neck. Luke chuckles and kisses me as well, sliding his hands over the bone of my hips and up to my waist. The lip ring sends shivers down my spine, like it does each time, and I absolutely adore it.

I lack air so I pull back and peck his lips once. It's 10:22 now and we have nothing to do until he has to leave. I don't want to keep doing chores, and Pete is asleep.

I spoke too soon.

"I'll get him," I say, walking into Pete's room. He is sitting up with the bear in his tiny hands, but the cotton that was on the inside is now all over the bottom of his crib and the bear is just the fur and eyes. I take the "bear" from his hands and pick him up, rubbing his back. Luke walks in and stands in front of me, looking down at the stuffing in Peter's crib.

"I knew that was gonna happen," Luke sighs, picking up the mess in the crib. He walks to the kitchen so I guess he is throwing it away, only making Pete cry harder. I pat his back and kiss his cheeks, swaying on the balls of my feet. The cries quiet down but his eyes are still glossy, cheeks still pink, and his mouth is hanging open in an 'o' shape. I sit down on the rocking chair and cradle Pete back to sleep. He closes his eyes after several minutes so I kiss his forehead and place him back down in the crib.
