Chapter36- Right Here, Right Now?

This is literally what I've been waiting for, dunno about you guys!  ;D

Right Here, Right Now?

What the hell.

Luke sighed deeply. "Fuck me, that was hard." He giggled shyly, before looking down at me. "Say something. Please."

I swallowed hard, trying to get the words out as calm as possible. But they just came out as a gurgling sound. "I love you too."

Luke's eyes immediately lit up with happiness. "So..." He quickly glanced around, making sure that there was nobody nearby, before lowering his voice. "Sophie Grace Baker, can I um...can I kiss you? Right here, right now?" 

My heart skipped a beat. What?! Why was he asking? Usually I'd burst out laughing and moan about how you wasn't supposed to ask someone if you could kiss them, you just had to do it. But I couldn't. I just nodded slowly, a tear spilling down my cheek. Luke looked taken aback, but he moved towards me slowly. "Okay."

I watched him as he gently wiped away the falling tear from my eye. His hand then traced across my face and onto my chin. He tilted it upwards so that I had no choice but to look into his eyes. Keeping his hand on my chin, he dipped his head forward, slowly but surely. I followed, as if he was drawing me in like a magnet. He closed his eyes and I did too, waiting for it to happen, although everything seemed to move in slow motion.

I felt him stop just inches away from my face. His breath fanned my lips as he whispered, "You have no idea how long I've waited to do this." I smiled slightly. "Oh I think I do."

And that was it. That was the moment I'd been waiting for.

Luke Hemmings kissed me.

It was slow and steady at first. It was just a kiss, just a long kiss. His lips were soft against mine, until he slowly pulled away, making that really weird sound that you hear on movie kisses. Usually I'd curl up and cringe. But trust me. Being the person is much better than watching.

His hand dropped from my face, but I couldn't let him go now. I quickly stepped back up and joined our lips together again. But this time, it was way better. I pressed my body against his, running my hands up his chest and around his neck. Luke grabbed me and pulled me up onto his toes, still moving his lips with mine. He purposely gripped tightly at my waist, causing me to moan; then he took that opportunity to slide his tongue into my mouth. I reached up to tangle my hands in his air as he wrapped his arms around me completely. I eventually had to break off for air. I did it slowly, panting for breath as I rest my forehead against his chest. I glanced back up at Luke, who kept his eyes shut, grinning a little. "Well." He began, his voice raspy. "That was something else."

I pushed out of his grasp, laughing. "You've ruined the moment again, Hemmings." I whipped my phone out to check my face. My cheeks were flushed and my eyes were black. Great. Luckily, there was no one around. 

"Sophieeeeee!" I spun around to see Luke huddled at the bottom of the tree. "Gimme my top back, I'm cold."

I wandered over to him, sitting down in front of him and wrapping myself up inside his shirt. "No Luke, I'm cold too, you know."

Luke chewed on his lip ring, resting his hands on his knees. "Kiss me again and you can keep it."

I shook my head and folded my arms. Luke raised his eyebrows, still grinning. "Sophie..." I giggled shyly at his tone. "Please, if you love me you will."

I finally caved in and crawled over to him. I sat on my knees and placed my hands on his shoulders, leaning down to kiss him. Luke reached out and held onto me as I slowly pulled away, giving him a triumphant smile. "Can I keep this shirt then?" I pouted and batted my eyelashes, making Luke laugh. "How does anyone say no to you?"
