Pretty Girls ⇼ Luke Hemmings

Take a Picture.

I woke up feeling great for the first time in a long while. I didn’t feel tired or crabby, I just felt happy and ready to face the day. As I shut off my alarm, I turned to Luke, who pulled his pillow over his head to protect himself from the light flooding in through the window. I couldn’t help but smile and as much as I knew he wanted to sleep for a little bit longer, I pulled the pillow away from him. I watched as his brows furrowed and a small smile appeared on his face.
“Morning,” I whispered and he tore his eyes open.
“Good morning baby girl,” he rasped, pulling his hand to his face so he could rub his tired eyes.

My heart fluttered at the pet name, as I couldn’t recall a time where he’d called me anything so sweet. I sat up to get a better look at him, seeing that his legs were being pinned down by Petunia, who was chewing on one of stuffed alligator toy.
“How’d you sleep?” He asked.
“Great.” I smiled, pushing my hair away from my face. Luke finally tore his hands from his face, placing them behind his head to prop himself up. A small sigh left his mouth as Petunia jumped off the bed. “How did you sleep?” I asked in return and he smiled.
“Like shit,” he chuckled and pulled my hand to his mouth, pressing a small kiss to the back of it. He got out of bed and poured some food in Petunia’s bowl before grabbing his phone off the nightstand and checking the time. “Do I have time to shower before I take you back?” His eyes didn’t meet mine, instead glued to his phone as he replied to a text.
“Yeah.” I hoped he didn’t plan on taking a long time, because I still needed to shower at my dorm.

“You can come with if you want,” he said, shooting a wink my way and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. As much as I wanted to shower with him, I didn’t think it’d be a good idea. I still didn’t want him to see my body like that.
“I’ll just shower when we get back to my dorm.” He laughed at my reply, pulling off his boxers and grabbing a clean towel. I didn’t bother to close my eyes this time. I didn’t know what possessed my eyes to travel down his body, but I couldn’t help but stare. Luke turned around with a small smirk and my face burnt up as I tore my eyes away.
“Take a picture, it’ll last longer.” He teased, tying the towel around his waist before pressing a light kiss to my lips and heading to the bathroom.

After Luke showered, got dressed, took Petunia out, and drove me back to my dorm, he sat on my bed as I showered and got ready. Lea and Michael were still sound asleep, seeing as she didn’t have class until noon today (though I wasn’t sure of Michael’s schedule). I decided on a short maroon pleated skirt with a short sleeve black and white striped top that left my shoulders uncovered and my black flats. I dried my hair and curled the ends, putting on a light line of black eyeliner with mascara and lipgloss. When I was done getting ready, I met Luke back in my room to find him typing away on his phone. He seemed irritated, so I didn’t say anything as I hung my towel and gathered my books for class.

“Are you okay?” I finally asked, sitting on the edge of the bed. He set his phone down with a sigh, looking over at me. His phone vibrated on the mattress, lighting up from a text. I couldn’t help but let my eyes wander down to the phone to see ‘May’ as the sender.
“I’m fine,” he answered, and I tore my eyes back to him. I didn’t think he was, but I didn’t want to make a big deal out of what very well could be nothing, so I just sent him a small smile. I still didn’t know who May was, he’d only mentioned her once and didn’t give any clues to how she knew her. I felt like I should have known, so I didn’t ask. I missed the opportunity to ask when he brought her up in the first place. Maybe I’ll ask Lea later today, I’m sure she’d know. “Do you want to head out early? Get some coffee before class?” It was only 8:15, but I nodded anyways and followed Luke out the door.

He left his car in the parking lot in front of my dorm and we walked to the coffee shop. I’m glad we left early because it was packed, and by the time we got our coffee and made it to class, it was nearly 9. We were in the middle of workshopping a classmates story, when our professor went off on a tangent, telling us a story from his younger years. Luke took the opportunity to set his hand on my thigh and lean towards me.
“Have I told you how great you look today?” He asked with a smirk and I blushed, pushing his hand off of me.
“You haven’t,” I whispered back, a smile playing at my lips. Luke set his hand back on my leg, this time on my knee rather than my thigh, and gave it a light squeeze before pulling away. Although I appreciated the gesture, I was uncomfortable that it had to be in class.

I never liked the type of couples who couldn’t keep their hands off each other in public, and I didn’t want to be that kind of couple. It was different if we were around his friends (our friends?), but in class, I didn’t want to give any indication that we were together. It wasn’t that I was embarrassed to be with him, because I felt lucky to be able to call him mine (even though it’s been less than 24 hours). I just didn’t feel the need to rub it in everyone’s faces like he seemed to. Maybe he was just a touchy person when he was comfortable around someone. I guess I’d never know, seeing as he was so closed off from everyone

Before I knew it, class was over and Luke had to go to work. He walked me to my dorm building, but I didn’t want to say goodbye to him. I wanted the peace we had between us to last just a little bit longer. I snaked my arms around his waist and set my head on his chest, feeling the vibration of his laugh. He pressed a kiss to my forehead as his hands found my waist. I looked up at him, meeting his blue eyes and he smiled.
“May wants me to come over this weekend,” he said and I furrowed my brows.
“Are you going to?”
“I don’t know. My dad is there.” He sighed, his grip tightening on me. “I didn’t know your dad was in town,” I brought up and he shrugged.
“Neither did I.” I didn’t expect him to want to go, to see his dad after all these years. Especially after the way he left them. I didn’t know what to say, so I didn’t reply, I just nodded and he sighed, letting his hands fall from my waist.

“If I go, will you come?” He asked, taking me by surprise. The thought scared me, to be around Luke as he was feeling tense and his alcoholic father who he hadn’t seen in years. Not to mention May and her family, who I still had no idea who she was or how they knew each other.
“Um… Yeah, of course,” my voice was quiet and he smiled.
“I mean… I don’t want to but…” He paused, “sometimes it’s just easier to do what May wants. She has a habit of driving me up the wall if I say no,” he joked and I nodded, not really knowing what else to do. He pressed a kiss against my lips. “I have to go. I’ll see you later, okay?” I wanted to pull him back, to kiss him for longer, but I didn’t because I knew he had to go or else he’d be late.
“Bye.” I flashed him a small smile and watched as he walked to his car before going inside and up the stairs.

When I got to my room, I was glad to find Lea getting ready, Michael still snoring in her bed.
“Hey,” she smiled at me. “How was the rest of your night?” I shrugged, sitting on her desk so I could be with her while she did her makeup.
“Luke… Kind of asked me out,” I admitted, not knowing how else to bring up May.
“Like on a date?” She asked, perfectly drawing on her eyeliner.
“No… Like… To be with him.” I didn’t know how else to put it and Lea smiled.
“What’d you say?” She tried to contain her excitement, but ultimately failed. Her smile was wide, and I knew how much it meant to her that I was finally opening up about Luke.
“I said yes…” My voice trailed off and Lea squealed.
“Oh my god!” She exclaimed. “This is, like, major! For both of you!” She pulled me in a hug before going back to doing her makeup.

“Hey… Can I ask you something?” I bit my lip and she nodded, applying mascara. “Who is May?” Her actions stopped and she looked at me with confusion.
“Why don’t you just ask Luke?” She seemed nervous.
“He asked if I wanted to come with him to her house. His dad is there, too.” Surprise washed over her face and she sat there, debating whether or not to answer my question. She glanced over at a sleeping Michael before finally sighing.
“His cousin,” she told me. “On his dads side. They got back in touch last year when he came up here for college.” I didn’t know what to say to that. I didn’t know his cousin went here, and knowing I’d meet more than just one member of his family made me anxious. I guess it did make sense, though, considering his dad was staying with her. “Hey, do you wanna go get lunch?” Lea changed the subject. “I was just going to wake up Mikey, but it looks like he could use some more sleep.” I let out a dry laugh before jumping off her desk.
“Yeah, let’s go.”
