I was wrapped in Luke's arms half naked with tons of blankets on our bodies. We were watching a dumb movie on his laptop because we're too lazy to do something else. It's currently past midnight and we've just finished eating a large pepperoni pizza. It was a school night but we don't care.

"Babe." He mumbled his voice muffled because he had his face in the crook of my neck (we're spooning). "Yeah."

"That Mia chick, were you guys friends before?" I don't know why he brought up Mia right now, I turned to meet his eyes. "No, not really." I replied, "Last year, I wasn't involved in that fucked up group. Ashton and I were ignoring each other."

"You haven't told me why. I mean, you told me that you had some problem but can you tell me?" He said with a little pout on his beautiful lips. I was a little surprised because I didn't expect him to ask me something like this. Only Kenzie knew about Ashton and exactly what happened and I didn't want to tell anybody about such a shameful incident.

"We met when we were five. I was running down their street chasing my beach ball, and I bumped into the mailbox. I had a massive bruise on my forehead, I remember him appearing from the garden out of no where calling his mum for help. Basically, his mother gave me some ice chunks and our mothers became friends. I remember, we played everyday in his garden and we built so many forts in my living-room and every summer mum takes us to the beach. It was such a great time. When I was around thirteen or maybe fourteen, I developed some kind of crush on him. You know, when you have a best friend who's a boy, you can develop some feelings, but, I kept it really secret and I didn't wanna tell him because I knew it will ruin our friendship." I talked quietly and he was listening carefully running his fingers softly through my hair. It comforted me.

"When I was fifteen. Beginning of freshman year, he started hanging out with Calum, Madison and Ashley. They were popular back then but not like they were right now. I didn't like sitting with them or going over to their houses. So, more I was distant more he was changing, he ditched our plans so many times because Calum wanted to hang out or because Madison has some dumb party. Until one day, he came after school and suddenly he wanted us to take different paths. He said he wanted to become popular and he's not loosing his opportunity because I didn't like talking to Calum or whatever. That was really unexpected because we were best friends since ten years and I trusted him with my life. I didn't expect him to come one day shoving in my face that I'm a stubborn brat who's so insecure and desperate. I was so fucking hurt. You know not only I liked him more than a friend but also, he was the only person that kept me balanced you know. Thank God, I met Kenzie that day."

I finished my story with a big lump in my throat, I let out a long sigh and put my head on his chest. He kissed my bare shoulder then decided to talk. "I'm so sorry, sunshine."

"You have nothing to be sorry for. It's gone now and I'm dating him." I said with a little smile and he leaned in and kissed me on the lips. "Please, I want you to be mine like officially. I wanna walk to the school with my arm around your shoulders, I wanna tell everyone that Lauren Keller is the sun that shines through my darkness. I wanna kiss you everywhere and stand for you when they make you feel like shit and just live freely and not hide in a stuffy room because I wanna kiss the girl that I like, call me cheesy I don't care." He spoke quickly rambling a little and I was tongue-tied. I wanted to be with him too but I can't.

"You know I can go to Ashton and tell him I'm with you and he can go fuck himself. But, I know that he means so much to you and I don't want you be called slut or something by the whole school."

"He'll hate me forever. I don't wanna loose him again, Luke. He represents my whole childhood and I made my best memories with him. I'm not ready for him leaving again." I spoke with a very sad tone clear in my voice and he was silent. We both know how much we wanted to be together and be able to tell the whole world that we are happy this way but Ashton doesn't deserve this. I know he doesn't because deep down his heart is a piece of pure gold.

"By the way, Madison came after school and she basically apologized to both of us." I pulled away of our embrace looking at him with wide eyes. He can't be serious. I mean Madison doesn't apologize. Madison does whatever the hell she wants and she doesn't give a fuck about anyone.

"She said I'm sorry and all. I don't think she meant it, I'm sure she missed me, because she asked me if I wanna come over to her house. She likes me. Also, she's so horny by the way." He finished with a laugh and I chuckled shaking my head.

"But, I'm with you and her desperate-self doesn't matter to me. You're perfect, you're funny and you give really awesome blowjobs." I hid my face with my hands trying to cover my flushed cheeks.

I heard him yawning and he was so cute with his droopy eyes and sleepy face. I realized that I'm sleepy too so, maybe we should call this a night because we have to be awake at at least 6.30am tomorrow morning. I set up my alarm and plugged my phone.

"Good night, Lukey." I mumbled with my head on his chest and my eyes closed, I felt a soft kiss on my forehead and a raspy voice spoke.

"Good night, babe."

A loud sound resonated in the silent room and I groaned pulling the covers on my head. I heard someone moving beside me and a lazy arm draped on my waist. I opened my eyes quickly then I realized that I was sleeping next to Luke. He was laying on his stomach half of his face buried in the pillow and his hair was messily covering his forehead. I smiled pushing it off of his face and I pressed a kiss to his cheek.

I yawned and grabbed my phone from the bedside table and the screen flashed that it was 6.15 AM. I was so sleepy and the room felt so cold. I remembered to text my mother telling her that I'm awake, because if not, she'll bug me the whole day.

"Wake up sleepy head." I shook his shoulder giggling to myself, he groaned again burying his face completely in the pillow few words that I couldn't understand. I kissed his shoulder and brushed my fingers against his bare back.

"Lukey.. Babe.." He moved his head and I saw his eyes tightly closed. He looked so cute and I wanted to stay in this warm bed forever. I didn't wanna get up, shower, put on some damn skinnies and cover my face with makeup. I wanted to be lazy for the whole day and eat breakfast to Sponge Bob on the couch with this cutie boy.

"Luke, it's 6.30AM, please. We're going to be late." I whined shaking his shoulder again and he finally decided to open his pretty eyes, with the little sun coming through the blinds, his eyes were a mix of baby blue and grey. It was the best mixture of color that I've never seen.

"Morning, I'm sleepy as fuck." He mumbled with a raspy voice wrapping his arm around my waist, so I can lay practically on top of him. He started kissing my nose, cheek and then my lips. I've never had a lack of sleep and woke up very happy and energetic in my whole life. I was so happy and I guess, now, my favorite thing in the morning is waking up next to him.

"Get your ass up and take a shower." I said pinching his nose giggling to myself, he raised his eyebrow smirking at me playfully. "Join me, it will save water." I rolled my eyes, this argument though. I rolled off of his body and grabbed my tank top from the floor sliding it down my body. I yawned getting up from the bed and went straight to the bathroom.

"You're not coming?" I questioned with a flirty grin on my lips and his eyes widened surprised. He was sitting on the bed with the most hilarious look ever on his beautiful face. "Wait, you're serious?"

"Well, if you want it to be joke, I can always change my mind." I shrugged fighting the teasing smile to do not flash on my face. He bit his lip and got up from the messy bed and he pushed me into the bathroom slamming the door shut behind us.

"You're such a teasing bitch." He said pinching my cheek, I reached for the water faucet and turned it on. The warm water started flowing down to the bathtub. "You actually are so lucky, you have a fucking bathtub."

"I never use it but we can use it, ya know." He spoke in a very low voice, his fingers going to the hem of my tank top. I Iifted my arms up so he can take it off, I suddenly felt so insecure again when I stripped off my underwear. I stepped to the shower quickly trying to cover myself, when I felt a hand on my lower back and his body was so close to mine.

"You are perfect babe. Don't cover yourself, I swear, you have a breath-taking body. You're so gorgeous." He spoke locking his beautiful eyes with mine and the water was running down our bodies making his skin sparkle under the light of the bathroom. His words ran through my body like electricity making my stomach churns and my heart warms. I'm so lost, I'm so fucking lost. How could someone be so perfect?

This is exactly what's keeping me from ending things with him. He makes me happy in every single way possible. He makes me feel so comfortable. I pecked his lips and he smiled grabbing the shampoo bottle from the side turning me around.

"Let me wash da hair." He said with a very weird accent and I shook my hair laughing at how weird he is. "Hurry because we don't have all day." I spoke with closed eyes, I could tell that it can be about 6.45 AM or something. We have to be at school by 7.55 AM at least.

I felt his fingers massaging my scalp and it felt so fucking good. I was so relaxed and the warm water on my skin plus his skilled fingers in my hair are making me feel like I'm in heaven. Then, he washed off the soap of my long hair and I turned around putting my arms on his shoulders. His hands found my hips and he squeezed the skin before dropping them lower. He grabbed my butt cheeks giving them a little squeeze making me gasp.

"Stop it, we need to get ready. Let's get you cleaned up." I said with a giggle taking the shampoo again from the shelf and since I wasn't really short so I can reach his hair easily. I started rubbing the product through his soft hair. He kept smiling down at me following every gesture I'm doing, when I rinsed off the soap from his blonde hair, we washed our body quickly and turned off the water.

He threw me a clean towel and I wrapped it around my body getting out of the hot humid bathroom. I went to my over night bag and grabbed clean pair of underwear and my outfit. Luke disappeared in his closet because he needed to pick a perfect outfit. I swear he can be such a girl sometimes.

I put my light washed distressed skinny jeans, a plain black tank top and an over-sized dark green flannel. I rolled up the edges of the jeans and slip on my low top black converse. I started applying some concealer because I had few dark circles under my eyes and I drew a thin line of eye-liner, coated my eyelashes with mascara and put on a little bit of powder and lip balm.

Since I don't have a straightener neither a curling iron, I decided to leave my hair as it normally is. Thank god, I always keep a little lotion in my school bag so, I sprayed some. By the time, I was ready, Luke appeared from the closet looking so great.

He had his usual skinny jeans but with holes this time, he had a maroon and cream flannel with the sleeves rolled to his elbows and new black converse. I knew they were new because they were so clean and shining. Also, a really good looking maroon snapback covering his blonde locks. I was speechless, he looked so freaking good. I'm not forgetting about his sweet scent filling my nostrils.

"You look so beautiful babe." He said taking my hand in his intertwining our fingers, "You don't look so bad yourself Lukey." I grabbed my already stuffed over night bag and my backpack. We left his room running down the stairs, I glanced at the clock in the kitchen and it flashed, 7.45 AM. Wow, we made it at time.

"You hungry? I'm sure we have some cookies and juice." He went to the fridge and handed me a little bottle of apple juice, my favorite. He stuffed his mouth with chocolate chip homemade cookies and I grabbed two of the plate in the middle of the counter.

"I don't wanna leave you baby." He said when we reached my car few blocks down his street. He turned off the engine and leaned in sealing his lips with mine. I pulled away after few seconds and hugged him tightly.

"You need to though. Have a nice day, thanks for everything." I said smiling widely, he smiled back and we said good-bye finally. I closed the passenger door and got in my car very quickly starting the engine.

A smile couldn't leave my lips the whole time that I drove to school. Memories played non stop in my head, all the intimate moments, all the sweet words, the warm feeling and butterflies in my stomach. The whole vibe was ten times more perfect when one of my favorite songs came on the radio.

"You make me sing oh, la, la, La, you make a girl go oh oh, I'm in love, love." Sydney Sierota's perfect voice rang in my ears and the beautiful melody made ma had a permanent grin plastered on my face.
"Did you see that shooting star tonight? Were you dazzled by the same constellation?"
"Did you and Jupiter conspire to get me?, I think you and the Moon and Neptune got it right."

"'Cause now I'm shining bright, so bright."
