Promises - l.h

Chapter 20

"You forgot something."

Charlie's P.O.V

Luke & I spent most of Tuesday, the day after I returned home from my little runaway adventure, in my bed.

Later in the day, we drove back to the hotel because the other guys wanted to see me. I had some homework to do & some other work to catch up on but I figured I'd work on it at the hotel since Luke & I wanted to spend the rest of the day together still.

Once we got into the hotel, I gave the boys a summarized version of my past with running & what happened this past weekend while also thanking them for caring so much about me.

After hanging awhile, I sat on one of the big chairs & I began working on some makeup history homework since I missed the past two days of school while Luke was on the couch beside me, asleep.

It was adorable to watch him sleep actually.

"He literally didn't sleep a wink since you left." Ashton said, sitting in the chair next to me.

"So I've heard. Thanks again for caring so much."

"It's fine, we really do care about 'cha."

"It means the world to know that."

"& I'm so happy about your adoption."

"Me too." I smiled at that. "I can't believe it. I might be 17 but I can't wait to have a forever family."

"You deserve it Charlie, you really do. You're an amazing girl."

"Thanks Ash."

"& Lukey here is crazy about you."

"I'm kind of crazy about him too."

"No way!" Ashton said sarcastically. "I never would have guessed."

Then Ashton left me to finish my history notes.

Boring boring boring.

I tried to rush through as much makeup work as I could but I honestly couldn't work with a sleepy Luke next to me so that was a struggle. 

I walked to the couch Luke was sprawled out on once I finished work & I laid beside him, fitting my body next to his, sliding the blanket over me as well & then I just curled up beside him while he slept for another hour. 

"Well, isn't this a wonderful way to wake up. Sorry I passed out." He said in this raspy, sleepy voice before he kissed me as he awoke.

"Not a problem babe."

"What time is it?"

"Like 6:00 I think."

"Okay."

"Are you still tired? You can go back to sleep if you want."

"Nah, I wanna be with you Charlie." Luke grabbed my waist as he pulled me on top of him, the blanket still wrapped all around us.

"You forgot something." I told him.

"What did I forget?"

"You forgot my last name."

"You said the other night not to call you that, are you sure it's okay?"

"I was drunk & emotional & stupid. I love when you call me Charlie Joy, it's my family name & you say it adorably. I'm your Charlie Joy." I giggled before Luke pressed his lips to mine, aggressively I might add. Usually we start sweet & get rough but this time, he went right for it. The combination of Luke's arms around me, his lip ring pressing into my skin, his tongue against mine, the quietest moans that escaped us, it was the greatest moment.
