Now Or Never

Chapter 7

Luke's POV

Y/n and I walk into Blake's studio together. I keep her hand in mine. I didn't like this Blake guy. That was clear. He looks at Y/n the way I look at Y/n. Like damn, the things I'd do to her. She'd hit me if she knew I thought that way. "Babe, look." She says, pointing at a record on the wall. She looks back at me over her shoulder and I swear I'm in love all over again. She smiles before continuing to pull me behind me. Reggie, Alex, and Julie had arrived before us.

"Where have you guys been?" Reggie asks, wiggling his eyebrows at us. "Oh, ya know." I wink at him and Y/n nudges my shoulder lightly, making me chuckle. "We were at my house finishing my project real quick." She says and smiles before sitting next to Julie. God she was adorable. I was joking with Reggie but she was right. She was stressed about this big project and I wasn't exactly helping. I don't think she considered kissing and cuddling to be help anyways. Even if it did help her laugh while she was stressed. Blake turns towards us in his chair, holding his hand out for me. "Luke." He says. I roll my eyes briefly at his formality. "Blake." I shake his hand before walking over to the couch. Y/n goes to scoot over but instead I move her to let her sit in my lap. "Luke.." She whispers, laughing quietly. I smirk a little and wrap my arm around her waist. Alex shakes his head at us. Y/n gets comfy and leans back into my chest, listening to Blake. My hand moves to rest on her stomach. Blake let Alex go in the recording booth first, just to get a feel of the drums in there. He sits down and grabs his drum sticks.

"Maybe tomorrow, we can start recording Now Or Never?" Blake asks, looking at us. Reggie and I nod. Y/n dances along to Reggie when he gets in there to test out the bass they have already for him. I brought my own guitar, just because it's mine and I've used it for every single show I've done. I fist bump Reggie when he walks out. I step into the booth and connect the amp with my guitar. Y/n walks closer to the glass to see me better. I begin to play a little. Blake nods his head, the others gathered around to listen. "Go Luke!" I hear Y/n say, smiling at me. I wink at her and continue to play. We all finish up what we need to and decide the song we will record first. Y/n and Reggie both say they're hungry. Julie googles places to eat nearby. Y/n wraps her arm around me, leaning her head on my shoulder.

"You did amazing, bub." She says, making me smile at her. I wrap my arm around her. "Thank you."

Y/n's POV

We all go out to eat before deciding to stop by the beach. It had gotten a little bit later but the sun wasn't down yet. Julie and I take off our shoes. "I believe! I believe that we're just one dream!" We sing, jumping around in the sand. The boys chuckle at us. I grab Luke's hand to make him dance with me. He leans his forehead on mine, singing softly with me. "Running from the past.. trippin on the now. What is lost can be found it's obvious." I smile more as we sing before he pecks my lips softly. I laugh at him, moving my arms around his neck. Luke wraps his arms around me and easily picks me up, going towards the water.

"No! No." I say in between laughs as I try to get out of his grasps. He steps into the water and sets me down, the cold immediately making me try to jump on him again. Luke chuckles softly at me. "Look." He points behind me. I turn around and see the sun setting. I smile, leaning back on him. "Not as beautiful as you though." He says softly. I feel a blush form on my face and I shake my head. "Luke Patterson, you're gonna be the death of me."

Luke drives me home that night, still very excited that he was able to actually afford one of these motorcycles. It was the cheapest one but he liked it. "Goodnight." I say, leaning in to kiss him gently. He leans over to kiss me back. I pull away from him. "You sure you don't need me to come inside.." He smirks softly and looks at me. I roll my eyes playfully at him. "Come inside if you want, loverboy. You know which window is unlocked." I say giggling as I walk to the front door. I look back at him and he winks at me. Gah. This boy drove me insane. I smile and step inside the house.
