Difficult Journey (A Big Girl Love Story)

Chapter 22 Meeting Simon

I woke up in warm arms. I turn around in his arms and look at his face, still sound asleep and adorable. Last night was great I cant believe what he said, it was so sweet and understanding. I slowly got up and walked into my bathroom. I opened the cupboard and grabbed my tooth brush. I just had horrible morning breath so i just thought i didnt want to torcher Luke with it. After brushing my teeth I walked back into my room and Luke was still sleeping soundly so i figured Id wake him up.....a little differently. I kissed his cheek then his jaw line then moved down his neck and to his chest. I stopped and looked up at him. His eyes fluttered but he didnt really wake up so i just gave up and went to his lips. Just as I thought he kissed me back. I knew he wasnt actually sleeping. I pulled away and smiled. "Hey." I said quietly. 

"I think I like that wake up better." He said and I giggled. "You are just so cute when youre blushing." That sentence caused me to blush some more. Oh what this boy did to me. I was going to kiss him again when i noticed a little bump in the covers. Oh boy I didnt want to embarrass him but i didnt want to deal with it. "Whats wrong?" Luke asked totally oblivious.

"Ummm....Why dont you take a cold shower while I make some breakfast? I asked looking into Lukes eyes. I think he realized what I meant and looked down. 

"Im sorry." Luke sincerly said. I laughed.

"Are you apologizing for something you really cant control?" I asked because I knew all about how it happens in the morning and you cant control it, Nathan told me.  Luke slowly nodded I guess he comprehended what i just said.

"Well, yeah I guess, I mean i dont want you to be uncomfortable." Luke says. I bring my hand to his cheek and kiss him. 

"Im not uncomfortable, every guy deals with it. I have been told. I love you, im going to make some breakfast." I said as I scooted back off the bed and walked my way down stairs. Soon I heard the shower running as I was making some pancakes and sausages. Luke came down stairs shortly and came up behind me and gave me a hug, still letting my hands be free. I flipped a pancake while he put his head on my shoulder. 

"I love you." He said sort of swaying us both back and forth. I started to wonder, is this how its going to be if me and Luke stay together? Is this how its going to be in our house if we move in with each other? The thoughts buzzed in my ear.

Luke kissed my neck trying to get me from my thoughts. I tilted my head slightly. "What are you thinking about?" He whispered in my ear.

"I was just thinking that if we stay together for a while that if it will be like this." I admitted, not wanting to lie to him. 

"Do you like it like this?" He asked me as he kissed my neck again, butterflies rose in my stomach. I loved that he could still do that to me. I took the pancake off the pan and set it on the glass white plate that was sitting next to the stove top. I turned around in his arms and looked into his eyes as I nodded slowly. I wrapped my arms around his neck and brought his lips to mine, his hair was still wet from his cold shower. I laughed as my hands went through his hair. He pulled away from my face. "Do you think my wet hair is funny?" He asked playfully. I nodded again. 

Luke then shook out his hair and got water all over. I laughed then ran my fingers threw his hair and made it all spikey. "There is your new look." I said after I Brought my fingers to my lips and kissed them like an italian chef.  Luke patted down his hair. 

"Yeah, I dont think so." He said. I turned around and rolled around the sausages in the pan. Luke squeezed my bum and walked away with the pancake. I gave the back of his head a shocked look.  He sat down at the table with the syrup and butter.

"Where do you want this?" Luke asked me with a big smirk as he held up my purple bra. My cheeks flashed a tomato red. 

"Out of everything over there you had to pick my bra?" He smirked at me. "Ugh, you're such a guy."  He held up the bra.

"Why is it purple?" I rolled my eyes.

"Put the damn bra down and pack my movies up!" I said. Luke offered to help me pack so I let him but in the last hour I have gotten only one box packed. I started going through my dresser, packing only the little things that i wouldnt wear in the next couple of days. I stopped when I saw a pair of sweat pants; Luke's. I turn to him. "Can I keep these for now?" I asked with puppy eyes. Luke looked at me confused.

"Why?" he asked, Was I suppose to tell him and him think I was a creep? I sighed.

"When I miss you I'm just gonna put them on. Along with the sweatshirt I have thats yours." I said scared of his reaction. 

"Awe, that's really adorable....maybe a little weird but it's understandable." Luke turned around and continued to pack the movies. I watched him as he gently put the movies in. I realized that I was going to miss him. I was going to miss the boy next door. He turned around and caught my stare. "I know my butt is perfect but you don't have to stare." He joked. I slightly smiled at him and got back to what I was doing. Luke tsked and walked over by me. He wrapped his arms around me from behind. "I'm going to miss you too." He said as if I was thinking out loud. How does he do that?

I felt a tear streak down my face. Luke spun me around slowly with his hands on my shoulders and wiped away the tear. "I'm not going anywhere." I nodded and Luke pulled me into a bear hug. I know he isn't going anywhere but I am. How often will we see each other? Will he find someone better than me? Will he cheat on me? No I trust him. He kissed my forehead. "Let's get back to it." he slowly let me go. I nodded and turned around. 

*********************************************************************************************************

The week went by fast. Paul and Olivia came back and they took me out to a really fancy dinner, which I told them that they didn't have to but they still did. They told me that it was their way to say good bye and that I am always welcome there. 

Shelly ended up not picking me up; Luke drove me. He told me because he wanted to know where I was going to be living. So we loaded up the truck and made our way back. I felt bad, I mean I made everyone bend backwards to get me to move down to Paul and Olivias house and now I changed my mind and made everyone bend backwards again.  

We pulled into my old driveway. I was shaky at first remembering my father. Luke squeezed my hand, then got out and grabbed to boxes. I grabbed one and walked inside. I walked in first and Simon was sitting at the Island. 

"Hey, what you doing here?" I asked when I walked in and noticed that Luke stopped short. 

"I just came to visit, I do every week." Simon said, I know that dad would appreciate that. Simon gave me a confused look and then switched his eyes to Luke. Oh shit.

"Simon this is Luke, my boyfriend; Luke this is Simon." I pointed to each and Luke set down the boxes before he stuck out his hand like a gentlemen. Simon gave it a very firm shake and squeeze. I laughed awkwardly. "Come on Luke, I'll show you my room." I said as I sort of grabbed Luke's arm and kept moving. Simon gave look a warning look. Luke picked up the box and followed me through the livingroom, down the steps, and around the corner into my old bedroom.

"What was that about?" Luke asked.
