"Skylar, can you go wake up Lukas? He decided to take a nap before dinner," Daniella asked me, adding the last touches to her stuffed bread.

"Yeah, sure thing." I hopped off the stool and headed to Lukas' room where he was currently resting. The only sound you could catch was his snoring along with the other devices in his room.

I crept inside, slowly opening the door and walking in. He was laying on his stomach so obviously his back was shown.

Does this man always have to sleep shirtless?

Lukas' back slowly lifted up and down as he took steady breaths. I froze when he shifted his position, turning on his side so his frontside was now facing me.

"Lukas," I whispered softly, checking to see if he's awake.

When he didn't move, I started to shake him lightly with resulted in him letting out an annoyed groan then going back on his stomach.

I rolled my eyes then climbed onto his bed then started to jump. Childish, I know, but it was the only thing I could think of.

"Skylar, what aren't you letting me sleep?" He grumbled, his eyes slowly opening.

"Dani told me to wake you up. So I did," I said, getting down.

"You had to jump on my bed?"

"Yes," I grinned. "Now get up."

He smirked. "Make me."

This man is going to be the end of us.

Taking the childish route, I climbed into the bed then got behind him and put my feet against his back. I started to push and smirked victoriously when his body fell to the floor with a thud.

I belted out a burst of laughter, rolling around on the bed. My hand went up and covered my mouth as I began to snort uncontrollably. Lukas had an amused grin on his face while watching me laugh my ass off. I'm pretty sure my face was as red as a tomato.

Once my laughing calmed down, we walked back to the kitchen while Daniella was fixing our plates. She looked up at us with a smile as the door swung open.

"Hey, people," Daniella's mate, Rick walked in and went to straight to the kitchen to peck Daniella on the lips.

"Skylar, you've met Rick," Daniella said, gleaming.

"Hey, Skylar."

"Hey, Rick," I said softly, glancing back at Lukas.

It's okay, he's a good guy. Don't worry to much, Lukas mind-linked, smiling at me.

"Alright, eat up."

I sat on the stool and Lukas sat beside me while Rick sat next to Daniella. Grabbing a fork, I immediately began to dig in to this beautiful deliciousness.

Since I've been here, I noticed my complexion was clearing up and I was beginning to put on weight. My hair was a couple of shades darker and the bags under my eyes almost went away This is what I needed, a healthy environment with people who care.

"This is really good," I muttered, taking multiple forkfuls at a time.

"Ha! Told you!" Daniella yelled, jumping around while smiling.

Lukas grumbled, crossing his arms. Daniella, on the other hand, gave me a smile and thumbs up for my honesty. She really was a great cook, Rick is lucky to have her.

"She was only saying that to lift your mood," Lukas said, rolling his eyes.

"I was not, I was being totally honest. Dani is a really good cook, you're just mad that you can't cook like she can," I said, taking another bite.
