A Story for Another Day

Chapter Six

Luke's POV

I woke up to a smell. A sweet smell, a feminine smell, something soft and warm, something kissable and edible. Something Lex-ish. Then I remembered where I was. I was in the same bed as Lex Stewart, and if I’m not dreaming, then Lex is in my arms, chest to chest, with her face nuzzled into my neck. I reflexively tightened my hold on her and sighed. Our legs were intertwined and she had one arm around my waist and one hand at the base of my neck, like she was playing with my hair.

I looked at the clock and it read 9:00 am. I closed my eyes and sighed again wanting to fall back asleep. I was about to drift off when Lex softly moaned. The small sound escaped her lips and she pressed closer to me and smiled. She has the most beautiful smile, even when she is sleeping. She made a couple more inaudible noises, talking in her sleep. She looked like she was done when a small word passed her lips

“Luke”

She sighed my name, and then I knew I was gone. I blushed as bad as ever, smiled from ear to ear, and knew I had to make her mine. Before I could make her mine, I had to give her better closer from Adam. He needed to know what he lost, and how much hell he just broke lose. The little f*cker made her so upset the first night I finally talked to her. I remember the first time I met her. It was second grade, and she had just moved here from who knows where. She was the new mystery in this rich little town. I remember how she looked so much prettier than everyone else. She was normal, ponytail, regular clothes and a natural smile. I fell right there and then, and I thought about her everyday till I met Mandy. Actually, no, even when I was with Mandy and she was with Adam. I always thought about her. I won't give up, not now. I'm to close. It's time to teach Lex what the word love really means.

Lex's POV

I was in a dream. It was such a beautiful dream. I wasn't like some fairytale princess, but I was noticed. Especially by Luke. He walked over an put his arms around me and nibbled on my neck. His lips reached mine with a passion only to be described as indescribable. He left my lips and went to my ear, and opened his mouth to speak. That's when it went from dream- to nightmare.

"You... Are... Mine" Adams gravel-like voice poured out of Luke's mouth. I looked up to see Luke's perfect features melted away into a ghoulish version of Adams. His normally soft jaw line was harsh and cruel looking. His eyes were colder than usual, a brown so dark that I could see the reflection of a small scared girl. I frowned and started to scream and cry.

"N-no, I'm not y-yours." I babbled, trying to pull away.

"Lex!" His voice was like nails on a chalkboard. But I heard my name at the same time from far away, in a sweet voice.

"Lex." It said it again tender and soft, like a lifeline. There was pressure around my chest, a warm sort of inviting pressure. I looked up, expecting to see Ghoul Adam, but saw a fuzzy version of Luke.

"Hm mm." I moaned and tried to roll away. My way was blocked my the biggest arms I've ever seen, with biceps that where totally drool worthy. I looked back at Luke, demanding an explanation with my eyes.

"We slept like that, I swear!" He shot me a lopsided grin, and my mood lightened. "What was with the frowning and the squirming?" Luke's eyes were warm and worried, yet cold and calculating.

"Just a nightmare. Don't worry, normal people get these kinds of things. May I ask why we slept practically smashed into each other?" I raised an eyebrow, but his facial expression changed from warm and cold, to just calculating.

"You're not normal, and no." He was blunt, straight facts. I liked that. No sugar coating and no bullshit. Just straight up facts. "You said my name." He informed me, "And smiled. But then you frowned and quivered like an earthquake. So what were you dreaming about."

"It was just you and Adam OK? Relax." My excuse came in time as my stomach rumbled. "I'm hungry." I untangled myself from Luke (sad times, I know) and walked downstairs.

"So what are we going to do now..." Luke thought aloud.

"We can hang around, catch a movie, go to the mall..." I trailed off, grabbing the eggs out of the fridge. I hate eggs, but my doctor said I needed them in my diet, so I eat breakfast sandwich's.

"I meant about Adam, you, Mandy, and me." I froze and turned to him. "You by now should know I like you." Luke walked closer and ran a hand down my cheek in a gentle caress. "Adam an Mandy are official only to get you and me pissed, but I don't play like that. We need to get back at them and knock them down a couple steps."

"But-" He cut me off with his palm over my mouth.

"I wasn't asking. We are going to do this. Don't doubt yourself; I won't let anyone hurt you, but I need your help." Luke still had his hand against my mouth. It was warm and rough, and smelled musky with a side of Hollister man-fume. I stuck my tongue out and licked his hand, causing him to shriek and pull away from me.

"Alright I'm in. But I'm going all the way and if you get in my way, I'll ruin you myself." I smiled and raised a fist.

"Yes ma'am" He saluted me and then bumped fists. "So whats the plan? What are we gonna do?" He asked me. I quirk my head to the side and grinned, the wheels in my head spinning.

"Go out with me."
