Want You Back

31.

"What do you mean Xo has cancer!"

I giggled and shook my head, pointing at the screen. "If you watched the show you would be able to answer that question yourself."

Luke paused the show and glared at me. "Well, we wouldn't have this issue if you hadn't watched without me!"

I rolled my eyes and stole the remote from him, pressing 'play'. "What was I supposed to do? Never watch Jane the Virgin again?"

"Yes, exactly! That's what I did, anyways." He huffed, crossing his arms over his chest and pouting childishly.

I poked at his cheek. "Now, now, that's why we're watching it now."

"But you already know what's gonna happen." He whined.

"Not true! I haven't watched season five yet."

"You're not allowed to watch that without me!"

I rolled my eyes again but nodded and giggled as Luke stuck out his pinky finger to me. I hooked my finger around his and he leaned in to kiss my cheek.

"Alright, now back to the show." He chirped, slinging an arm across my shoulders.

I leaned into his side and cuddled into him, watching him as he watched the screen. I loved to see Luke's expressions as the show progressed, he was so invested in the show and the characters - it was adorable.

The episode ended and I paused the credits, turning to look at Luke.

"So, when's your flight?"

Luke sighed. "Tomorrow at 11:45 pm."

"How long as you gonna be there for?" I asked.

"Not sure yet. We need to finish recording for the record and finalize things. Should be around a week or two."

"Two weeks?" I whined. "But I need to do reshoots for Endgame in a few weeks."

Luke frowned. "I forgot how chaotic this was."

"What do you mean?"

"Figuring out our schedules."

"Are, are you having second thoughts? About us?" I asked quietly, afraid of his answer.

Luke reached for my hands and squeezed them tightly. "No, baby, no. Never. It's just something we'll need to figure out again. Our schedules might be difficult to work around sometimes, but that never changes how we feel for one another, remember that."

I melted at his words. "But Luke, I wasn't as busy back then."

"So what? All that means is that you're incredibly successful and I am so proud of you. You're such a hard-worker baby, and you're such a talented, amazing woman."

I blushed and allowed for Luke to pull me onto his lap.

"For the record, you were incredible in Infinity War." Luke praised, kissing my neck softly.

I gasped and struggled to find words. "Th-that's not what you said at the premiere."

"Well, I was a stupid, stupid man for that." He breathed, continuing his assault on my neck.

I giggled and moved out of his reach, looking up at him. "What did you really think of the movie?"

"You were amazing, baby. I couldn't believe it was you as Lady Death, and I'm not just saying that because of the makeup and costume. You've come such a long way as an actress."

I blushed again. "Thank you."

I ran my finger across Luke's jaw, tracing along the perimeter of his face.
