Luke's Pov

Abby was currently sound asleep on my chest, gently running my fingers through her long hair. I couldn't believe what happened to her. I couldn't understand why anyone would say those things to her, especially her own mother. I just wanted to hold her here forever, had anyone told me i would be holding the girl of my dreams in my arms the night after meeting her id call them insane.

i felt her unconsciously cuddle into me more, i couldn't wipe the smile off my face as i drifted off to sleep.

Abby's Pov

When i started to open my eyes i realized that this wasn't my bed, i sat up and looked around, quickly remembering what happened last night.

i let out a deep breath relaxing back into Luke's bed, i stretched my arms around looking for him, but frowned when i didn't feel him. i pulled the blanket close to me, letting it engulf me. it smelled like him and just that made me all smiley.

Once i had finally woken up completely, i threw my legs over the side of his bed and walked quietly towards the kitchen. i stopped when i heard the sound of someone singing,

"i though you into my life, look at my mind .... no better place or time, look how they align. Universe must have my back, fell from the sky into my lap. And i know you're my soulmate and all that i'm like ohhhh"

i immediately recognized the song, i just could't get over his voice. It was so soft and sweet.

"i never thought a tough guy like you would like Ariana Grande." i giggled slightly as he turned around and looked at me with wide eyes.

"hey anyone can like Ariana Grande"

"even scary tattooed guys"

"hey! i'm not scary" he pouted as he got two plates out of the cabinet. i found it so cute how his exterior didn't seem to match his personality, he was a teddy bear.

"c'mon, sit down i made us breakfast." he smiled proudly as he walked over to the table

"you didn't have to do that Luke, you have already done so much for me-"

"i wanted to, now shh. Did you sleep well?" he asked as we both sat down.

"i actually don't remember the last time i slept that long." i said nervously

"what do you mean darling?"

"i have had problems sleeping for the past few years, i try to stay up to make sure i would be safe throughout the night, and it developed into me getting maybe an hour or two of sleep. Some nights, not at all." He frowned and grabbed my hand gently, kissing the back.

"you don't have to worry about that anymore, you have me to keep you safe."

"thank you, Luke"

"no need to thank me, now eat. i worked really hard for those eggs to be perfect." i giggled slightly as we both started to eat in a comfortable silence. i was the first to break it by saying

"you have a beautiful voice by the way." he blushed and looked down at his plate

"it was okay, i just felt the song in the moment." i loved seeing him get all bashful after a compliment.

"have you ever thought about pursuing music?"

"i had thoughts about it, but i don't know if that kind of life is for me." he shrugged and seemed to want to move off the topic so i didn't continue the conversation. After we were both done eating, i rook both of our plates to the sink and began doing the dishes before he had a chance to protest. He jumped on the counter next to the sink which made me giggle.

"i actually wanted to ask you something...." i looked up at him, stopping what i was doing to be able to pay attention to him.

"so, i think its pretty clear that i like you, i was wondering if you maybe wanted to go on a real date today?" my heart skipped a few beats as the smile on my face grew.

"i would really like that Luke"

"phew, i am so glad you said that, i mean saying as though you're in my clothes and we slept in the same bed last night i was really hoping you felt the same way." i giggled at him and his rambling.

"speaking of your clothes, can i wear this shirt, i really don't wanna go on our first date with my work shirt on."

"you don't even have to ask, i'm going to go get ready." he jumped off the counter and practically ran into his room. i finished up the dishes and walked into his room, seeing he was in the bathroom fixing his hair and i quickly threw on my jeans and vans.

"i'm going to put a few things together, i have a spare tooth brush in here for you." my heart was melting at how sweet he was. i nodded, thanking him. As he walked back into the kitchen. I brushed my teeth and fixed my hair and makeup as much as i possibly could.

I walked out to find Luke packing a bag of food,

"let me guess, are you taking me on a picnic?"

"I was planning on it, would you rather do something else-"

"No no no! i love picnics! i just wanted to guess." he let out a relived breath and picked up the bag and held his hand out for me. i grabbed his hand, intertwining my small fingers with his much larger ones.

he swung our hands as we walked down to his car, i saw him looking over at me and as i was about to question him he said

"We're going on our first date but i already feel like we have been dating for a while."

"i mean we did to get to know each other in the last 24 hours." he chuckled slightly thinking about in such a short amount of time this has worked out so nicely.

We both hoped into his car, listening to Ariana Grande on the way, he knew almost all the words which made me giggle yet again.

"no one can ever know that i listen to this, everyone else needs to think that i'm tough."

"whatever you say Lukey Poo"

"that is reserved for you and you only." i held my hands up in defense and nodded. The drive wasn't too long but it was far enough that we probably wouldn't run into anyone that we knew, which i appreciated.

We got out of the car, intertwining our fingers again as we went looking for the perfect spot to set up. We chose a place right under a tree with a view of the pond. Luke set a blanket out and sat down, holding his arms open for me. i giggled and sat down between his legs with my back leaning against his chest.

he wrapped his arms around my waist and i put my hands on his arms, gently tracing his intricate tattoos.

"that was one of my first" he smiled,

"it's beautiful, all of them have so much detail" i continued to trace and he would tell me the story behind each one. This boy was such a mystery but at the same time i felt like i understood him.

What i couldn't understand is why he chose me.
