Crash || Luke Hemmings

17. mixed feelings

*Luna's POV*

The cool, night breeze felt good on my hot, clammy skin and I sighed deeply in hopes to gain my normal breathing back. I was so embarassed. One song, that was all it took. I couldn't believe I had run out of there like that. It had been two years, why could I still remember that night like it was yesterday?

*Flashback*

"Can you believe we just graduated?" Luke's voice seemed to echo through the dark world around me and it was hard to peel my eyes away from the small stars that shone above us. I could look up at the stars and the moon forever, and trust me, I wouldn't mind it.

"No, it's so weird. I swear we were dorky freshmen looking for the nonexistent pool just yesterday." I smiled to myself and reminisced on all of the things we had done together. I felt the trampoline bounce underneath me as Luke moved his position. We usually laid on his trampoline when we were stargazing; it was a nice place to see the stars but not so nice when your company couldn't sit still (AKA Luke Hemmings).

"Things are going to be so different for us, I know it." I can't tell if he's telling me or trying to convince himself but I nod anyways. "Hopefully this isn't different though." He whispered quietly in my ear as he sat up from his spot laying down and placed one leg on each side of my body. He bent down and began placing soft kisses on my neck which causes my eyes to close. I began to giggle as he kissed a certain spot on my neck and I couldn't seem to stop.

"Everytime dammit, I kiss that spot everytime and you don't stop laughing." That makes me laugh even harder because it's true. Every time he tries to be sexy and kiss me, he always ends up kissing this certain spot which is very ticklish, oddly enough. I try to compose myself so he doesn't get frustrated, but by him continuing to kiss my neck, I end up the frustrated one instead. I moved my hands behind his neck and pull his face to mine. My lips press to his hungrily and after a while I feel his tongue roaming against mine. My eyelids press together harder and I continue to pull him closer to me.

He pulls apart and begins to press short kisses on my neck and then down, as far as possible while wearing a v-neck, my chest. He must get sick of the resistance because he moves off of me and grabs the bottom hem of the black shirt attempting to pull it off of me as I continue to lay down. I sit up and giggle before rolling my eyes and putting my arms up so he can effortlessly remove the fabric. I am left only in my lacey black bra and I thank Luke's family for leaving the trampoline far away from the house and any light besides the moon's so he can't see much of my detail. His hands move vigeriously over my curves and edges and I begin to kiss his jawline and neck as he does so.

"You're so beautiful." He says quietly and I'm not sure if he realizes that he's said it outloud but I smile to myself. I pull his hands away from my body and help him remove his shirt in order to even the standings. I interlock my fingers with his and pull him in for another kiss. His hands, still intertwined with mine, move and tickle my sides causing me to giggle into the kiss. I can feel him smiling too which only makes me move faster and harder against his lips. We pull away and he lays down on the trampoline and pulls me onto him so my head lays on his chest. We sit in silence for a while just staring at the moon and listening to each other's breathing until a deep sigh breaks it.

"Luna, I have to tell you something." I remove my head from his chest in concern because he almost never calls me by my real name. I faced him and nod, insinuating that he should continue. "We've been best friends for five years, and it's been great. Every single moment of it. But we just graduated and I don't know what either of us are doing in the future but I don't want any of this to change, I want this, if not more. This is what I want everyday to be like for me. For us. I want that, Luna. I just, I don't know how to say this but- I'm falling in love with you." He released a large sigh after he stopped talking but I continued to look around.
