Avery's P.O.V

I figured it was about time to leave all of the painful memories behind. It was time for me to move on and to go to a place where I have always dreamt of going to Australia.I boarded the plane all by myself. Nobody would miss me.My plane ride would last only about 22 hours.For now I'm going to sleep while on the plane.

______________________________________________________________________________________

I was gently shaken awake.I looked up to see a flight attendant.She had a warming smile and informed me that the plane had landed.I thanked her and got off.As I collected my luggage,I ran into somebody who was wearing sunglasses.Why were they wearing those inside an airport.Some people are weird.I shook my head at the thought and walked outside.My hand instantly flung up to get noticed by a cab driver.They pulled up and I told them the address.I had already purchased a house before I moved so that it would be easier on me.He nodded and drove.

The ride wasn't to long and before I knew it,I was home.I paid the man and stepped out onto my driveway.A cute little house sat beside it.My feet carried me over to the door of my own house and I placed the key inside.The door opened and revealed my cozy home.Furniture had already been delivered as had my decorations.I'm so glad that I had everything brought here in advance.Since everything was out in the middle for me to set it up,I decided to keep it there so that I could paint later.Feeling jet lagged I ran upstairs and fell onto my bed into a dreamless sleep.

I woke the next morning and sighed.Today I would go to the shops to get paint.I hopped out of bed and went to the shower.Quickly I took a shower and got ready.I did my normal morning routines and was out the door.

Not knowing where the closest sore was that sold paint,I went over to my neighbor's house.Politely I knocked and groaned to myself.It was about 9AM.I could have woken the owner up.As I was turning on my heel to leave, the door opened.It revealed a boy with messy blond hair and blue eyes.He only had a pair of boxers on.I blushed causing him to look over my face and he was the first to speak."You must be Avery, my new neighbor."I slowly nodded."I'm Luke and may I ask why you knocked on my door at,"he paused to look at the time on his watch "9AM?"I blushed once more."Sorry about that.I hope I didn't wake or bother you, but I was wondering where the closest store was that sold paint?I want to paint the interior of my house."He smiled."It's okay.You didn't wake me up or bother me.Here let me get ready and I will take you.If that's okay with you."Me being the socially awkward person I am,just nodded.He smiled then ran up to what I'm guessing is his room.

Minutes later he came downstairs fully dressed with his hair styled in a perfect up-do.He was very attractive, but I honesly doubt he'd go for a girl like me.I've never been good when it comes to relationships.They usually either dumped me for someone better or they used me for their own personal gain.Sometimes it would even be for the reason of me not giving them sex.I shook the thoughts out of my head when I noticed Luke trying to get my attention."Huh?"He chuckled."I asked what kind of colors are you looking for?"I shrugged my shoulders."Something happy I guess."He nodded."What about yellow?Or bright pink?"he suggested.I giggled at that."Nothing like that.Something like a light blue or light green.Maybe even a light shade of brown."He looked down at me considering he was like a foot and a half taller than me."So you want to go for natural colors?"I shrugged once more."You don't talk much do you?"I sighed."No."He laughed."Hey!I got a word out from you."Giggles escaped my mouth.He winked at me."Okay well we are here.I'm going to help you pick them out and I'm going to help you paint."I shook my head and softly replied."You don't have to.I can do it."He shook his head."Now why would I let a beauitful girl like yourself do all of that hard work alone."My cheeks turned a rosy red at his comment.I hid my face with my hair and shrugged.

After about an hour of shopping, I had finally picked my colors.Luke wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me into his chest.To have just met him,he is awfully friendly.Not that I'm complaining though.We got to my house and I opened the door,letting him in since he refused to let me paint by myself."Uhm...just sit them right there.I'm going to go change into something I can ruin."He nodded and started to open the buckets.I came back down to see him all ready.He smiled and handed me a brush.We began the long work and finished at about 9 PM.

I took a step back and admired our work.The living room and dining room were a light brown as was the kitchen.That's all that we had gotten finished.I was standing there when my face suddenly felt cold and wet.My hand brushed up against my wet cheek and I saw paint smudged on it.I looked over at Luke to see him staring at anything that wasn't me.Deviously,I flicked some at him also and ran up he steps before he could catch me.I hid in my bedroom that I had already taken everything out of.He ran in there and started flicking different colors of paint at me.I started to do the same.About an hour later we were covered in paint,but so was the room.The walls actually looked cute.Blue,green,and the light brown covered the walls in a splatter way.It was creative and different."Luke.It looks really good."He nodded."Look,since your house smells of paint,why don't you stay in my guestroom at my house.Air out the place and yeah."Usually I would say no,but I feel like I can trust him."Alright.Just don't pull any moves.I know you can't resist me."Where did that confidence come from.I swear I heard him mutter "I know I can't."I shook the thought off.I ran to the shower and quickly cleaned up.Then got in pj's and looped my arm in Luke's and we left.

As we walked in, I was amazed.His whole house was nicely decorated and was bigger on the inside."Do you live all alone?"He nodded."Yup.But ya know you can move in if you want?"he said while wiggling his eyebrows.My jaw dropped down onto the floor and I playfully hit Luke."Ouch!I was only kidding."I shook my head."Uh huh Hemmings.Whatever."He shrugged and jumped on the couch.He pulled me into his arms and I fell onto his toned chest.It was just then that I noticed he was shirtless and smelled so heavenly of cologne.I indulged the scent."Luke I don't know why but I feel like I can trust you."I hadn't realized that I whispered that out loud."Whatever your story is,tell me when you are ready."I nodded and moved my head so that I could look into his eyes.He had already fallen asleep."Luke,please don't ever leave me like the others."I heard him reply with a 'never' and then I fell asleep in his arms.
