CHAPTER THREE

"Nobody's perfect until you fall in love with them"

The light from outside woke me up from my deep slumber. The light sounds of birds chirping brought a smile on my face. For some odd reason, I was in a good mood. I spun around on my sides and my hand felt something smooth beside me. Glancing at my side, I found a piece of paper laid on top of the pillow.

Did you know that you snore when you sleep? It's quite adorable.

Good morning beautiful. Hope you had a nice dream about me ;) Glad to know that you murmur my name in your sleep.

Forever yours,
Luke

P.S. I love you (1)

I smiled. Luke was such a hopeless romantic..but I love it. I rolled out of bed in a not so lady like and skipped to the bathroom. As I entered, what caught my attention was four sticky notes taped to my mirror.

Hello my beautiful lady. ;)

I love you (2)

Gosh you're mesmerizing..

I love you (3)

I chuckled at his silliness and did my morning routine. The small smile couldn't be wiped off of my face as I got ready for today.

"Good morning mom..dad!" I greeted as I stepped at the last step of the stairs.

"Hello darling. Breakfast?"

"Yep."

I rounded the table and found a bunch of cookies on top with a note beside it.

You get cookies for being the most perfect girl.

I rolled my eyes but I could feel the blush creeping up my face. What's up with Luke and his cheesy notes? This is horridly beautiful.

"You seem to be in a good mood today." Mom remarked.

Why wouldn't I be? Luke's being his sappy self.

"It's Luke isn't it?" She added and I nodded.

"As long as he wouldn't hurt you. He's part of our family." Dad said while reading his newspaper. I kissed his cheeks and ate breakfast.

I sat happily at the table enjoying my breakfast and devouring it way too quickly I could've sword I could've choked. My phone vibrated from my pocket and as a habit, I checked it even while eating.

8:10 a.m. From: Luke
Park at 10 mins.? You in?

I smiled and typed in my reply.

8:11 a.m. To: Luke
Sure. :)

I took the last bite and stood up excusing myself. Running to my room, I looked for my shoes and wore them hurriedly. Me and Luke have been together since last year and his sweet anticts couldn't stop making me feel all bubbly inside. Call me weird but..it's just how it is. It's weird but it feels right.

"Mom I'm going out!" I yelled while running towards the front door.

"Stay safe!! Love you!"

"Love you too!" I yelled before shutting the door.

Is it weird that I'm this excited to meet with a guy I just saw last night? I don't think so. I've been gone for a month or so of course I'm going to practically crave for his presence.

The loud crunching of leaves breaking beneath my feet made me feel funny inside. I smiled as I tried to avoid the dry leaves on the ground. I felt carefree.. I felt..peace.
