2.3 - I love you

Mary didn't regret her actions, neither did Luke. They were both content with their decisions. So there the both of them were, panting on Luke's bed, both out of breath.

''That was..'' Luke breathed out, not bothering to finish his sentence.

''Yeah'' Mary sighed out of content.

Both Mary and Luke were now really tired but the clock was only three in the afternoon, so their need to go to sleep had to be ignored.

Mary was laid on her back, the covers reaching just below her belly button while Luke was propped against an elbow, watching Mary as if she was the only person in the world.

''You're so beautiful'' Luke said with a faint voice.

Luke started tracing Mary's stomach with his fingers, and Mary's stomach was soon enough fully prickled with goosebumps.

''So beautiful'' He continued to say, his hand grasping Mary's waist with his body weight propped against his other arm making himself hover over Mary.

''You don't look so bad either'' Mary said with a wink and started to laugh since she couldn't hold a straight face.

''I'm trying to be charming here'' Luke groaned, letting go of Mary and landing on his back next to Mary.

''Sorry for ruining your moment'' Mary laughed out, ''Charming'' she snickered out a grin plastered over her face.

Luke just let out a groan, not even bothering to say anything in response.

''I hate you'' Luke muttered out without really meaning it.

''I love you too'' Mary snickered out sticking her tongue out at Luke without even thinking over her choice of words.

When Mary felt Luke's body stiffen beneath her hand that was laying on his chest she realised what she had said.

Mary gave away love you's as if they were free, like a child not really thinking about the heaviness of such a word. And therefore she didn't really see it like such a big deal. But clearly Luke did, his breathing had slowed down as if he wanted to sink away from the whole situation.

The more time that passed the more awkward it got between the two naked teenagers.

''I..'' Mary began, but she didn't know what else to say. Was she supposed to say that she didn't mean it? that would just feel really rude like yeah I don't love you. So Mary just wanted to run away from this whole situation and therefore she let out a big groan and got up from the bed in her naked glory.

When Luke saw Mary leave the bed and walk into his bathroom he started to panic. He didn't want her to leave. He didn't want things to get awkward between them.

Was he supposed to tell her he loved her too? Did he love her? Luke didn't know. But he knew that he had never felt this for anyone else, whatever this was.

The moment Mary walked into the bathroom she went to sit at the edge of the bathtub with her head in her hands. She had definitely screwed things up this time. This was the first time Mary had actually felt something for the person she had sex with and now.. yeah what now?

Mary didn't like to overthink and she had her reasons for it but at this moment that was exactly what Mary was doing. She couldn't really help herself.

After a few minutes of just sitting and thinking everything over Mary decided to get out to Luke and try to fix whatever the fuck just happened. But before that she went to the sink and turned the tap on to rinse her mouth and face.

With her eyes closed and face wet, leaning against the sink, Mary felt two warm hands at both sides of her waist.

''I don't know what I feel for you'' Luke started to say with a faint voice. He moved away Mary's hair that was against her back and took it over one shoulder and softly kissed her against her neck. ''But I know that I've never felt this for anyone else but you''

Mary rubbed her eyes with her hands and looked up at the mirror above the sink where her eyes met Luke's.

''And if this is love'' Luke said, his eyes never leaving Mary's, ''then fuck, do I love you'' Luke said, emphasising each word.

Mary turned around and pressed her lips against Luke's. Luke had his arms around her and pulled her closer to him, closing the barely there gap between them.

Luke's chest was pressed against Mary's and Mary could feel Luke's rapid heartbeat and she was sure that her's was just as quick.

''I love you, Mary'' Luke said between kisses.

''I love you too, Luke'' Mary said back, trying to catch her breath, ''so fucking much''
