In The Crowd // l.h.

Luke?

Anica

I'mlaying on my bed staring at the ceiling when I hear a soft knock on my bedroom door. "Come in," I yell. I rolled over onto my stomach as my mom opens the door.

"Sweetie there's someone here that would like to see you," my mom says as a wide smile spreads across her face and her eyes sparkle.

"Who? Is it Sarah?" I ask. My mom's only reply is a subtle shake of her head, "Ivy? Jess?" her head shakes at each one.

"Just come out and see who it is." My mom smiles before pulling me off my bed and into the hallway. "Go ahead," my mom slightly pushes me down the hall, encouraging me to go on by myself.

I tightly grip the railing and slowly descend the stairs, racking my brain for who it could possibly be. Could it be Luke? Nah he's on tour why would he be at my house? When I reach to bottom of the stairs I take a deep breath before I turn into the living room. Sat upon the couch is a tall boy with very blonde hair. "Luke?"

The boy quickly stands up and whips around, "Anica!" Luke yells, waves of love and longing wash over his face. Within seconds he's there, lifting me off the ground, his arms tight around my waist. "Anica I've missed you so much. I'm sorry about never writing back I've just been so busy," Luke whispers barely audible into my ear.

"Luke! What are you doing here?" I breathe out, "Babe you're going to squeeze me to death!"

"Oh sorry," Luke laughs as he places me down on the ground. Only then do I notice that he's dressed up nice.

I look at him in confusion, "why are you dressed like that, Lukey?"

Luke looks down at his clothes, confused, before he answers. "Oh! I'm dressed like this because I came to pick up my beautiful girlfriend and escort her on a romantic night in Los Angeles." Luke beams down at me, "I see you've just showered," he smiles as he tucks a loose piece of wet hair behind my ear, "so go get dressed babe, and just skip the makeup, you're gorgeous without it."

Luke plants a slobbery kiss on my cheek before ushering me up the stairs. One in my room I notice that my mom had laid out a dress that I've never seen before on my bed. "Mom?" I call out.

My door cracks open, my mom's face on the other side, "Oh Luke brought that for you, isn't it beautiful?" She smiles at me, "And it'll look so beautiful on you sweetie. Hurry and get dressed you shouldn't keep him waiting." My mom kisses the top of my head before leaving the room. I quickly strip and pull the dress on over my head. It's a cherry red dress with a flowy skirt and a cut out on the back. I swipe liquid eyeliner on my lids and finish off my makeup with red lipstick that matches the dress perfectly. I pull on my shoes before checking myself out in the mirror.

While I descend the stairs Luke is standing at the bottom, mouth wide open, his eyes sparkling. "You look so... wow Anica. You're so beautiful." Luke stumbles on his words.

I beem a smile up at him as he takes my hand and leads me out the front door. I turn around and wave to my mother, who is standing at the top of the stairs smiling down at me and Luke, "Have fun tonight you two. Please bring her home safely."

"I will. I promise." Luke says to my mom before closing the door between her and us. "Come on babe," he says to me in a deep voice, "The adventure of your life is just beginning."
