Day 24

Wednesday, I smell something unusual.

✖️✖️✖️✖️✖️✖️✖️✖️✖️✖️✖️

I wake up Wednesday morning feeling less tired than yesterday and walk into my bathroom doing my daily routine.

   When I'm done I go into my room and change into all black skinny jeans, black tank with a red flannel over it, and all black converse. I leave my hair straight down and grab my phone and backpack. I walk out the door of my house and go into the driveway.

   I see Luke pull up and hop in the car quickly. I look at Luke and see he looks even more tired than yesterday so I ask "Luke, um are you okay? You seem really tired today."

    He moves his head back and forth trying to wake himself up as he says "Um yeah I'm fine just tired. I didn't sleep well last night." I nod and ask "Well are you gonna be okay? You don't have to drive me to school, I can walk while you go home and get some rest or-"

   Luke cuts off my guilty rambling and says "No I'm fine you don't need to worry about me. I'll be fine when we get to school." I nod hesitantly and we head to the monstrous place we call our school.

  When we get there I face Luke and give him a questioning look, which makes him respond with "I'm fine Lu! Trust me babe."

  When Luke said that it didn't sound like his normal self. It sounded a bit weird, maybe like he was lying. I immediately shrug the thought off not wanting to think about it and nod my head.

   I get out of the car and start heading to the school without Luke. All off a sudden I feel a hand tugging me back making me twirl around coming face to face with Luke and I ask "What?" He says "Well you didn't wait for me!" I laugh a little and say "I'm sorry I just forgot."

    He smiles and intwines our hands making sparks fly. We walk into the school still getting strange looks and me getting glares from psycho girls obsessed with Luke.

   It actually scarred me a little, but I felt a little more comforted as Luke wraps his arm around my waist making tingles erupt in my body.

   *Skipping the school day*

   I hadn't seen Luke all day, which was weird considering I had 3 classes with him. I begin to worry thinking I might not have a ride home or if Luke's hurt.

    I was getting really nervous until I see Luke leaning against his car searching for someone. I walk over to him and he smiles when he sees me making me smile too.

   I say "Hey Mr. Popular where have you been all day? I was worried something happened." Luke smiles and says "Oh nothing I just went to some empty classes to nap."

   I furrow my eyebrows, but nod in understanding as we both get into his car. "Can we go to the park!?" I ask like an excited 3 year old.

   Luke laughs and nods. As were driving I smell perfume and it wasn't mine. I sniff a little to noticeably and Luke laughs asking "What are you doing babe?" I shrug and say "I thought I smelt something, but I guess I was just imagining it."

     We finally get to the park and I run to the little fortress of the playground and hop on one if the many platforms. Luke follows right behind me and sits down with me.

   I smile at him as he spreads his legs apart and pats the open space signaling for me to sit in his lap. I oblige and sit in between his legs, I lay my head on his shoulder as he intwines our hands.

   I smile and say "I'm content." Luke smiles and kisses my forehead. Surprisingly the coolness of his lips ring was a nice feeling against my warm forehead making me smile.

   I look up slightly and kiss his jaw line, Luke looks down at me and says "You know I love you and only you Lu. I'll never ever stop loving you." I smile and say "I love you too Luke and I'll never stop loving you either."

  I stick up my pinkie and ask "Forever?" Luke smiles widely as he latches his pinkie with mine and says "and Always!"

   He brings our latched pinkies up to his mouth and lays a gentle kiss on them. I watch as he moves to kissing my hand, wrist, arm, shoulder then feel as he slowly kisses up my neck making an indescribable feeling go though my body.

   He finally kisses my cheek and I turn my head so our noses are touching then I close the space between us by connecting our lips. I loved the feeling his lips have mine, it was almost like they moulded perfectly together.

   Even though they say it in movies, it's completely right! Right now was another perfect moment in my life making me smile into the kiss.

   We pull away and I say "All my perfect moments have been with you." I look down at the necklace that Luke had given me and start playing with it between my fingers as Luke says "All my perfect, best, amazing, extraordinary, loving moments have been with you Lu."

   I look up at him and smile replying with "Well you beat me for being cute!" He laughs and shakes his head responding "No I could never do that. You're too cute Lu!" I blush and cover my now rosy colored face as Luke just laughs.

   We had spent hours at the park doing absolutely nothing. It was getting late so Luke had decided to walk me home.

   We were holding pinkies in a comfortable silence as we walked. When we finally get to my home I turn to Luke wrapping my arms around his torso hugging him tightly, not wanting to let go as he wraps his long arms around my shoulders hugging me just as tight, if not tighter in the hug.

     Luke pulls back, but cups my face gently, bringing his face close to mine our lips practically touching as he whispers "Never stop loving me Lu. Please?" I nod slightly and he brings me in for the kiss. I didn't know how someone could make me feel this way, but Luke could and I loved every second of it.

We pull back needing air and I ask "How can something as simple as a kiss be so wonderful?" Luke smiles and says "Well maybe it's not just the simple kiss, but the person you're sharing it with."

   I smile at his words and say "I guess you're right. I gotta go love. I'll see you tomorrow, in class!" I say the last part sternly making it clear he needed to go to class.

   I laugh at his expression and kiss his cheek once more before retreating inside to my warm cozy house. I walk into my room replaying all the little moments from the playground and wonder how I got so lucky.
