"Nutella pizza?" Luke crinkled his nose in disgust.

I stuck my tongue out at the boy, "Don't knock it 'till you try it," The blonde smiles at me as I lean against the shelves at the grocery store. I grab a can of hazelnut spread and throw it into the cart. Luke's elbows are on the handlebar of the cart and his face in his hands.

He looks freaking adorable.

"Rhea, is that drool?" He jokes and I lean over to swat his arm, but he moves away.

"Shut up," I turn and slowly walk down the aisle, hearing the squeak of the shopping cart wheels behind me as Luke follows.

Charlotte had called me on the subway ride over, as well as my Mom. I informed them both I was safe and not being kidnapped. Immediately after my phone call with Char, I got a text from Sam.

Sammy: WHAT HAPPENED!?!? DETAILS.

Me: ok... i may or MAY NOT have accidently fell asleep on his shoulder...

Sammy: OMG i hate u guys. u arent even in a relationship yet and im already jealous

Sammy: ask luke if he has any friends he can hook me up with xx luv ya

Much to Sam's surprise, I did ask Luke and he chuckled, "Sam's standards are way too high. I mean, have you seen my friends?"

I crinkled my nose and nodded, acknowledging Michael's sleep cocoon in the apartment.

Now, our cart was half filled with pizza ingredients and experimental toppings.

"RHEA. GUMMY BEARS." I turn to see Luke holding up a package of Haribo up in front of his face. He had on this goofy smile that I just couldn't resist. When I didn't reply, he added it to our cart anyway.

"Oh! Ash's vegemite!" I grabbed the container from the top shelf, nearly knocking the rest of them off, and place it into the cart.

Luke pouts, "Why don't I get a nickname?"

I bite the inside of my cheek, "How about. . .Lucifer? No, wait! Luke Skywalker."

He smirks, "If I'm Luke Skywalker, will you be my Princess Leia?"

I roll my eyes, "Lucifer it is, then." Luke crosses his arms in disagreement and I shrug, "That was the worst line in the history of worst lines, Lucifer. Better luck next time."

"Calum would've liked it," He mumbles as I drag the cart further around the store, taking him along with it.

Ten minutes later, we exit the store with paper shopping bags, arguing back and forth.

"Please, Selena Gomez is so much hotter than Mila Kunis." I say as we walked, side by side, down the busy NYC street. The moonlight lit our path and the pedestrians that passed us. We got dirty looks when he swung our bags back and forth, hitting each other with them like we were little kids.

What? Luke started it.

"Ariana Grande is hottest of all! Okay? Okay." Luke yelled out. It echoed amongst the lamp lit streets and I laughed out loud.

"TFIOS reference?" I tilt my head and he nods, proudly. "Nice to know you actually read the books."

"Hey! I do read, Rhee-Ahhh." He pauses for a moment, "Did you know that your name means 'singer' in hindi?"

"Lucas Hemmings! Did you Google me?" I gasp, loud and obnoxious, gaining some more dirty looks from passerbye-rs and a very angry four-year-old holding a candy bar.
