chapter thirty two
"i love being in love with you"

☁︎

luna's pov

we were meant to go away alone. that was blake's original plan. he wanted us to go on a road trip together, just the two of us, and go to places spontaneously with no proper set destination. the music really loud - like really loud - and our hair blowing in the wind.

well we were still having that, but just not alone anymore. sophie, reece, george and liv had caught sight of our plans and begged to come along with us and me being the nice person, i couldn't say no to them. and i'm not sure blake liked the fact that i had done that either.

they had somehow managed to get hold of a truck that we could all fit into, and off we drove into the sunset, me and blake in the two front seats and the other four in the back. it was almost like a mum and dad with their four annoying children in some messed up way, but that was what we all were anyway.

so that's how where we were now. blake's original plan still stood, but i guess it wasn't as secluded as he would've wanted. regardless, i knew we were going to have fun, as soon as the brunette stopped sulking.

"flake?" i murmur, a grin on my face and i hear him chuckle at the nickname regardless of his sulking mood.

"hm baby? what's wrong?"

no matter how many times he would call me any pet name under the sun, i would melt every. single. time.

"nothing, just, i love you" i say softly, and i watch as he smiles widely at my words and flickers his eyes towards me for a brief second before they return to the road.

"i love you too lu"

all of a sudden, i hear a gagging sound from the backseat and i turn around to face the culprit. i see reece with two fingers in his mouth and i roll my eyes at his foolish antics. he shrugs and i watch as sophie leans into his arm, and he wraps it around her shoulders. i raise an eyebrow at the girl and she smiles at me in return. our conversation from a while ago stems to memory and i guess every worry she had expressed were diminished.

the girl had expressed her worries to me at the time about her and reece's relationship, or lack there of. she was just worried that he wasn't taking things as serious as she was, and that he was eventually going to get bored of her. they did all the things a couple would do but he had never explicitly confirmed their dating status and sophie needed him to. she was just scared that he was going to up and leave her eventually but i had firmly told her that that was far from the case.

i guess she had spoken to him about it, seeing her emotional state right now, she seemed pretty content.

"when are we gonna get there?" reece grumbles, and blake sighs in response.

"i don't know"

"well fucking find out"

"well you didn't have to come did you?!" blake defends, and i glance at him and try to prevent myself laughing at his frustration.

"calm down you two" olivia mumbles from her place in george's arms, obviously half asleep but still managing to tune into the rather loud conversation.

"it's too early" sophie grumbles.

"again, you guys didn't have to come" blake says and the four in the back groan in response.

"we fucking know, anyone would think you didn't want us here blake" reece jokes, and i raise at eyebrow at blake to which he grins at. secretly he doesn't - maybe not so secretly but still - but he'd never tell them all that. no matter how much he can complain, he still loves them all to bits.

after another hour of pointless bickering and me turning up the music louder to drown out the sound of it, of liv falling asleep with her mouth wide open against george and us all taking the piss out of her until she woke up to reece taking photos of her, and of george nearly dropping his phone out of the window, we finally made it to a small hotel where we decided was a good place to stay for however long we wanted.

after we paid for rooms for the night, we all split off into our couples and went into our rooms. as soon as the door closes, i hear blake sigh loudly and fall backwards onto the bed in the middle of the room and i giggle at the sight of him.

"if i have to put up with them for more than two seconds, i think i'm going to scream" blake mumbles, and i roll my eyes as i sit down next to him.

"you love them" i retaliate and he grins at that.

"that's true," the boy grabs me to pull me down next to him and i shift so i can still see him. "but i love you more"

"stop" i murmur, pushing his arm as my cheeks heat up at his soft words.

"it's true angel," he says back, smiling at me and rubbing a thumb over my red cheek as he cups my face with his hand. "can i kiss you?"

deciding to mess with him, i giggle and go "nope" to which he furrows his eyebrows at me.

"what? why not?!" he pouts and i shake my head at the boy. he always had to get his own way, and he knew how to win me over every single time.

i lean forward and press my lips against his to which he hums happily and kisses me back. he rolls us over so he's above me and we continue to kiss slowly. i can feel my cheeks heating up at the intimate moment and he smiles into the kiss before pulling away to stare at me.

"what?" i mumble, and he shrugs.

"nothing baby. you're just pretty"

"oh shut up" i say, as i reach up to run my fingers through his hair. there was something about his hair that was so irresistible and i loved it. and i could tell he did as well.

our quite moment is interrupted with a pounding on our door and a loud voice saying "come on then, let's go out and explore!".

"get up you fuckers" sophie says, banging her fist against the door, "you've got all night to do funny business"

"piss off" i say back, and blake rolls his eyes at the couple outside our door. they complimented each other so well it baffled me how they hadn't been together for the whole of their lives.

just as i'm about to get up off of the bed, blake pulls me back and presses his lips up against mine again and i sigh into the kiss contentedly.

"i love being in love with you angel" he says softly and i smile at the boy with so happiness.

"so do i" i reply, as we leave the room to go and explore with our group of people we call best friends.

i think this is going to be the penultimate chapter and i'm so sad!! i've loved writing this book but i also have so many other ideas for new ones and i don't have much more to happen in here.

the next chapter will be the last and most likely longest n i hope you all enjoy :)

love you all, becca x
