Faking Feelings (Muke)

Ch. 19 - Truly Madly Deeply

"I love you" Luke whispers, smiling up at me.

I love you, too! I smile down at him, lean down, and kiss his beautiful lips. When I push myself back up, we're both grinning like fools.

We're laying on my bed, Luke on his back, me on my stomach, right on top of him, propping myself up with my arms.

"You're mum is happy for you, for us" he says with a huge smile.

I know, my smile grows.

When my mum got home from work, Luke & I were snuggled up together on the couch, fast asleep, 'Men In Black' still playing on the TV.

She woke us up with a smile on her face. "Michael, do you have something to tell me?" She asks, clearly not trying to hide the smile on her face.

I felt Luke tense up underneath me. I stared at my mum for a moment, turned my head towards Luke, and pressed my lips against his, then I turned back to face my mum with a huge grin on my face.

"Aww, Michael" she cooed, and gave Luke & I a group hug.

I've never felt as happy as I did when she started tearing up because of how proud she was of me. I mean, my mum was crying, that should hurt, but it was because she was happy, she was proud of me.

"We don't have to hide from your parents anymore" Luke points out, snapping my attention back to him after I started to zone out.

I smile again, lean back down, and connect out lips together.

Dear Stupid Diary,

I'm writing this quick entry while mum is taking Luke home to pick up some stuff so he can stay over the night.

I just got a text from him saying he can hear our mums awing over how much of a cute couple Luke & I are from his room. Hahahaha!

My parents know about Luke & I now, and it's lifted a weight off of my chest... Not that the empty feeling seems to really go away... But it eased it a little bit...

I still feel like shit... And my arms sting... But I have Luke... So I'll be okay... I think...

I can't shake the feeling of something bad happing... But I know I need to stop worrying about it, because it's probably nothing.
