Choose - Season 1 - Episode 64

…
I wake up being suffocated by Luke’s arms. I think he’s been working out lately, but he’d deny it if I asked. I try to squirm out of his grasp but it’s not use, his arms are too tightly wrapped around my torso.
“Luke.” I groan.

He doesn’t budge, so I say his name again.
“What?” He mumbles.
“I need to go to the bathroom.” I say.
“So go.” He groans.
“I would, but you kind of have me trapped.” I giggle.
He opens one eye and looks at his arms around me. He smirks as he tightens his grip.
“Luke, i’m serious.”
“May, i’m serious.” He mimics, trying his best to imitate a feminine voice but fails terribly.

I huff exaggeratedly. Just then he lets go of his grip on me but quickly grabs my wrists as he moves so he is hovering over me. He dips his head into the crook of my neck and kisses it gently. He moves his lips down to my collar bones and begins to sU-Ck harshly.
“Luke,” I m0an.

As much as I want this right now, I still really need to go to the bathroom. But I don’t want to ruin this moment. After all, I don’t have many more of these kinds of moments left with him.
He moves upwards until his lips reach mine. I wrap my arms around his neck and smash my lips onto his. He trails one hand down my stomach and quickly slips it inside my pants. I immediately grab his hand and remove it.
He breaks the kiss and looks at me with a confused look.
“I don’t want a repeat of your mother walking in on us.” I tell him.
“She won’t.” Luke says as he attaches his lips to my neck once again.
“Luke i’m serious. We’re not doing anything while your mother is home.” I say as I slide off the bed and stand up.
“Where are you going?” He asks.
“Bathroom.” I say as I walk into Luke’s ensuite.

After I finish, I decide to take a shower. I quickly discard my clothes and hop in.
“So I want to take you somewhere today.” Luke says.

I peak my head out of the shower curtain, making sure my body remains covered.
“What are you doing in here?” I laugh.
“I was hoping I could join you.” He smirks.
“No, I already told you, nothing while your mother is home.”
“I asked her to run to the store and pick up eggs for breakfast.” He tells me.
“Luke she’s not your slave.”
“I know, but I just needed an excuse for her to leave so I can f--k you in peace.” He smirks and I blush.

“You say the sweetest things.” I tease.
“So is that a yes?”
I roll my eyes playfully. “Get in here.”

–

After our shower, Luke steps out and wraps a towel around his waist before holding one out to wrap me in. I step out and Luke puts it around my body. I go back into Luke’s room and put on the same leggings I was wearing yesterday, but I wear one of Luke’s shirts instead of my own. I love wearing Luke’s shirts. He once told me I was the only girl who he’s ever let wear his clothes, and in a way it makes me feel closer to him. I love knowing that I do something with Luke that no one has ever done before….. I walk back into the bathroom and brush my teeth, the same as Luke is doing.

“When your ready, I want to take you somewhere.” Luke says as he wipes his mouth on a towel.

“What about breakfast?” I say with toothpaste in my mouth.

“What?” He laughs, obviously not able to understand me.

I spit out the toothpaste in the sink and wipe my mouth on a towel. “I said, what about breakfast?”

“Oh,” Luke shrugs, “Well i’m not hungry, but you can eat if you want.”
“No, i’m not hungry either but you made your mom go out and buy eggs. So the least you could do is eat them.” I laugh.
“Oh, right.” He chuckles. “She’s probably home by now, we should go downstairs.”

“Wouldn’t she just come get you?” I ask.
Luke laughs. “No, she refuses to come in my room whenever you’re over now.”
I widen my eyes. Oh god. Does Luke’s mom think we have sex all the time? I mean, that’s not far off but we’re not bunnies. We do other things too. I really hope she doesn’t think we did anything last night, especially while she was home.
I decide not to say anything about how embarrassed I am that she knows about us having sex. Instead, I take my hand in his and walk downstairs.

We walk into the kitchen and see Liz standing by the stove.

“Oh, good morning!” She smiles brightly.
I love how happy Liz always is. She’s so warm, and caring, I can understand why Luke doesn’t want to leave her. I can just imagine the look on her face if Luke were to tell her he wasn’t going with her to England. It would destroy her. The bond between the two of them was impossible to break.

“Good morning.” I smile.
“I’m just finishing up the eggs. You two can sit at the table.”

“I’ll grab the plates.” I tell her.
I hope she doesn’t think i’m coming off as rude by going into the cupboard to get the plates. I’m just so used to it seeing as I lived here for a few months.

I bring three plates to the table. I set one in front of Luke and put one beside him and one across from him. I walk back into the kitchen and open the fridge to bring the juice to the table.

“May, you’re the guest, you shouldn’t be waiting on us.” Liz laughs.
“Oh, it’s no trouble.” I say and mean it.
I can understand why Michael always loved spending so much time over here. Luke and his mother just made everyone feel so happy and welcome. I can’t imagine what my life will be like without Luke here.
I sit beside Luke as Liz brings the eggs out.
“So, any plans for today?” Liz asks.
“Yes, except Luke won’t tell me what they are.” I tell her.

“Yeah ’cause it’s a surprise.” Luke says with a mouthful of eggs.

–

After we finish breakfast, we help Liz clear the table and I thank her for breakfast.
“Can we go now?” Luke asks.
“Jeez, you’re so impatient. Yes, we can go now.” I say.

We slip on our shoes and say bye to Liz.
“We’re walking, is that okay?” He asks me.
“Yeah, of course.”
He laces his fingers with mine as we start walking. I have no idea where we’re going, but it’s really romantic that Luke seems to have this whole thing planned out. I can’t believe that in three months I won’t be able to feel his hand on mine whenever I want, or kiss him whenever I want, or even so much as see him. I know I seem extremely codependent, but he means everything to me, and I don’t what i’ll do without him here. I don’t want to have to wake up without him beside me.
“Stop thinking about it.” Luke says, as if he can read my mind.
“Stop thinking about what?”
“Me moving. Stop thinking about it.”
“How did you know I was thinking about it?” I question. But it’s Luke, he always seems to know what i’m thinking.
“You had the crease between your eyebrows, and you always get that when you’re worried about something.” He tells me.
My mind flickers back to the time when Luke took me to his secret place, the lake with all the pretty flowers. On our walk there, he told me the exact thing he told me now, except the conversation was about how I was worried that I cheated on Ian with Luke. Oddly enough, it seems like we’re walking along the same road we were then.
That’s where he must be taking me!
I decide not to tell him i’ve caught on to where we are going, I don’t want to ruin the surprise because he put so much effort into making this whole thing special. Even though I have no idea what it is.
We walk in silence for several minutes before we get to the lake.
“We haven’t been here in so long.” I breathe as I look out at the crystal blue water.
“I used to come here almost everyday. But this is my first time back since the time you and I came here months ago.” Luke tells me.
I turn to look at him. “Why?” I ask.
He shrugs. “I don’t know, I guess I just realized I liked being here with you more than I liked being here alone.”

I smile as I lean in slowly and press my lips to his. But before things can get too heated, Luke pulls away.

“I want to show you something.” He says.
He reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a black box.

He isn’t-he couldn’t be.
“Relax, it’s not that.” Luke says, once again reading my mind. Or maybe he was just reading the clear worried expression on my face.

It’s not that I don’t want to get married to Luke, but definitely not anytime soon. I’m not even eighteen yet, and we’re both not even close to ready for marriage.
“Open it.” He says as he hands me the box.
I open it slowly to see a necklace. Oh my gosh. He bought me a a necklace. It is a circle pendant with a heart shape in the centre. I turn it over to see writing engraved on the back.

“You’re my home -L”
I look up at him, tears brimming my eyes.
“Luke-” I can’t manage to get out any words. Not without crying.

“I want you to know that you’re my everything, May. No matter where I go, you’ll always be with me. And i’ll always be with you. You’re my home, May. You always will be.” Luke says.
Tears fall from my eyes as I lean in to kiss the beautiful boy that stands in front of me.
How could I possibly be able to say goodbye to him in three months?………….
