Luke:
I'm here :)
I sighed to myself before picking up my phone and texted back,"come to the front?" And he replied with a 'sure'. Quickly, a short, high pitched noise erupted from the door.
I rushed to the front until I saw Kendall making a beeline in the same direction. I quickened my pace, but she beat me and opened the door. I pressed my lips in and closed my eyes, then opening them to find Luke standing with a smile on his face, a large bouquet of flowers, and his eyes wondered from Kendall, back to me, a small chuckle escaping his pierced lip.
"You're not Lindsey." Kendall stated, disappointed. Luke crouched to her level.
"Sorry sweetheart. But I bet she'll be here before you know it." He pushed his fingers against her lips and curved her pout into a smile. My heart warmed and I smiled as he got back to his abnormally large height.
"Hello beautiful." He leant down and kissed my cheek. And all in this moment, I forgot about Ashton.
"Who's this?" I heard a voice behind me. I turned behind me and before I could speak, Luke passed by me and shook Rob's hand.
"Hello sir, I'm Luke."
"Nice to meet you, son. I'm not a handshaker." Luke awkwardly placed his other hand back on the bouquet covered in a plastic lining which caused a crunching noise.
"Where do you plan on taking Josie tonight?" Rob folded his arms.
"Well, sir, I was planning on going to a nice dinner and then going ice skating." My heart fluttered at the sound of his plans. Rob nodded slowly.
"And, these are for you." He handed the flowers to me, I took a smell from them and Claire whisked them away giving him a smile, and rummaged through the cub bards looking for a vase.
"Son, you take care of Josie tonight. Midnight is her curfew."
"Yes sir. I'll have her home by then." Luke nodded at him and we turned around, walking out the front door.
"You kids have fun!" Claire shouted as I closed to door behind me.
Luke slipped his fingers into mine as we walked down the driveway to his car. His car was small, a great size, but smaller than Ashton, most definitely less expensive than Ashton's as well.
He placed his arm out in front of me, stopping me from opening the door. Luke opened it and I sat inside. Then, he closed it. I've never been treated so nicely before, especially not by a boy.
He jogged to his side before sliding in and starting the car.
I noticed a sparkling stick on the floor of the car, I bent down to examine it closer and picked it up.
A lipstick container.
I faced Luke with it between my fingers and his face grew all shades of red.
"Okay I didn't want to tell you this, but I don't actually have a car," my chest was pounding, I could be sitting in a stolen car at the moment.
"This is my sister's car, I tried to shove every last bit of her girly crap under the seat as best as I could but I guess I forgot her lipstick." I burst into laughter.
"Luke don't be embarrassed, I actually think it's cute that you're driving your sister's car." I flashed a small smile, hoping he'd see it in his peripheral vision.
"I don't know. I'm just trying to impress you."
"There's no need for that." I took his hand from his thigh and placed it on the middle compartment, holding it, feeling his hand relax in mine.
