Chapter Two - The sleep over

-throwback-

I heard a familiar husky voice whispered something so loud and clear like he whispered it to my ear. He said..

"i like you, chloe."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Chapter 2-

What did he just say? My skin is numb. I must be dreaming. But.. But everything was so real. My heart beats faster than i can ever imagine. My face heated like it was burned. Those words that he said seem to sink in my heart and my mind. My heart melt down hitting replay of what he said all over again and again. The words that i've been dreaming off, Luke said it. This is crazy.

After a big while of me lost in my mind, i finally opened my eyes. I glance around the couch but he is nowhere to be found. I stand up carefully like something is going to bump into me. Those things that he did and those words that he said are still replaying in my head. I walk to kitchen expecting he to be there. But no. So i walked around the first floor trying to find him but failed. Right now, i'm going to my room to take a shower and go to sleep. Well, i guess he went home.

I opened the door to enter my bedroom but what i found was half-naked Luke rubbing his hair. Oh no. He is shirtless, his bottom part was wrapped by a towel. My eyes are widen. Almost immediately, my hands reached for my eyes to cover it. his muscular chest and arm are so .. perfect.

"Oh hey. You're awake now, Zoe" he said. I can imagine him smirking at the moment. Well he's hot and he knows it. I'm still covering my eyes not wanting to see him half-naked.

"Go find some dress to wear right now! I don't want to get stye from seeing you half-naked around my house!" I ordered. My cheeks heated up. I can imagine my cheeks are red as a tomato right now.

"Wow wow! Calm down. I just finished taking shower. I'll borrow your brother's old clothes, okay?" He said with a laugh. God. I must look so ridiculous.

Have i ever mentioned i have a bigger brother? His name is Liam allison. He is 1 years older than me. His hair is in perfect shade of blonde. He is taller than me(ofcourse). His jaw line is sharp but he has the whole nice protective and caring guy look. And let's say he's pretty popular, he's the quarterback of a football team. That's why no one really messed with me in Highschool. Protective big brother and popular best friend. Yeah.

I heard Luke's foot steps louder and louder. Until it stopped near me.

"Are you afraid to see me shirtless? Can't handle the hotness, babe?" He whispered into my ear. His warm spearmint breath tickles my sensitive spot behinds my ear. I can see he smirked through the corner of my eyes. And I blushed immediately, standing still with surprised.

The last thing i know is that i heard him laughing and the door shut closed. I relieved the breath i've been holding and walked to the bathroom slowly, not forget to grab a oversized t-shirt and a sweatpants.

Hot shower really helps to clear my mind off these weird things that happened today. Falling sleep in Luke's arms, the kiss, the words he said, He half-naked. Too much to handle.

------------------------------------------------

After a big while a finally got out of the bathroom. The first thing i saw was Luke in my brother's old pants and plain grey t-shirt lying on my bed playing his phone. I stare at him for a couple of second before go sit next to him.

"So, are you ready to tell me about the call you made with your girlfriend?" I said softly. It hurts a little thinking of him and that queen bee.

He placed his phone down. His eyes are now on the ceiling. He looked angry and upset just by mentioned her name. I reached for his hand and squeezed it softly. His eyes turns to me. It looks soften and sparkling a bit.

"Well, Helen bailed on me and my parents to go to the pool party at her friend's house. She said it is very important to her cheerleading team, she'll have to find new cheerleader there. The diner with my parents tomorrow night is cancelled." He said with anger. He clenched his jaw and looked away. I feel like slapping that fake tan with her own fake boobs.

"Hey, ignore her. i'm going to have a dinner with you and your parents instead of her, if you think that's ok." i said squeezing his hand again. I smiled at him sweetly. His anger breaks down into a smile, the warm one. my heart melts down a little seeing him smiles like that.

"Thanks zoe. I love you." he said with a wide grin. Oh god. I'm so not used to those L-words. The butterflies came back to my stomach once again. The corner of my mouth breaks into a wider grin that fills with happiness.

"Love you too. how about umm.. We go grab something at McDonal? you drive." i said smirking at him. He laughs a little pretending to glare at me.

"Whatever you wish, princess." he said bowing at me playfully. I glared at him and smacked his arm softly.

He pretends to grope the spot i hit him and pull a wry face. "Ouch! You're mean, zoe." He said acting like it hurts so bad. i let a smirk creeps to my face.

"Awwww, did i hurt you babe? Do you want to go to the veterinarian?" i said pinching his cheek like he was a little kid. He glared at me for a while before a smirk took place on his face.

"Aww, you're so sweet and caring. Don't know why you have no boyfriend." Said by Luke. He's smirking in an evil victorious kind of way. Ouch. well.. i'm waiting for you to be mine, idiot.

"Now you're being mean. Let's go. I'm hungry." i said simply while glaring at him. Changing topic is what i do when i'm not the one who've got to wear the victorious smirk.

Luke looks at me and laughs before we made our way to the car and head for dinner.

------------------------------------------------

I'm full and exhausted. So, now is bed time. Luke and i brushed our teeth and now we're ready to sleep.

We both sleep on my bed with the bolster between us. In the dark, everything seems to be in silence. Luke runs his hand through my hair playfully. i hit his hand and laugh a little.

"Goodnight, cookie" he said with a wide smile under the dark. I grin a little feeling the tickles in my heart.

"Goodnight, Lukie" i answered him.

Slowly we both fell sleep in the dark and silence. Today, the kiss on the cheek and the L-words makes me feel like dreaming. But it is real... All the feelings, the butterflies in my stomach, the firework in my chest.

It is strange but deep down in my mind tells me that

Something is going to change.

But what is it?
