Luke?” With those words, the destroyed look on his face, combined with the embarrassed look on mine, I pull at my seatbelt and unlock the door. It slams behind me and even makes me jump. I walk as fast as I can towards my front door and I can feel eyes on me.
His eyes.
     My bag is too fucking big! I can’t find my keys and the frustration is irritating. I feel a warm hand on my shoulder, which stills me immediately. I turn, and his lips lock with mine. Again, those unsuspected butterflies are released in my body, making my blood run warm and my breath lose itself.
     
    *****
     
    The sun woke me with its light piercing through the tiny gap in my drapes. I squint and smile. The first time in such a long time, I have smiled when waking. I turn, stretch, and look up at my ceiling. Last night my life changed. All my demons were erased by this one single man. He made me feel the impossible, like life was a gift. I have never felt that pleasure of loving life. He has kissed me more than any other man has my entire life and every single time I felt warm and myself.
     If he doesn’t choose me, then what should I do? Shall I return to being depressed lonely Ella, surrounded by her haunts and selfish memories?
SHIT! What is the time?
The panic swoons my face and it makes me sit up right. My cell isn’t on my bedside drawer. Where the fuck is my cell? I I’m turning my room upside down, when there is a knock on my door. I’m only in lace panties and a Metallica tee. The doorknob turns and my mom walks in, with Luke by her side. I freeze and blush instantly, I pulling at the hem of my shirt to hide my bare legs. I turn and pick up my blanket from my bed. I cover myself and sit on my dresser to hide my modesty.
     “Hi.” I manage.
     “Ella, honey, sorry. Luke is here to take you to school?”
     “Erm, yeah, er, Mom, can you give us both a minute?” she looks at me puzzled. I give her a reassuring smile and nod my head.
     “Okay, darling.” She leaves and shuts the door gently behind her. My mom gets it. She gets what I need. Instantly Luke walks towards me, scoops me up in his arms, and places me on the bed. He moves his hands across my torso up to my face. His lips again meet mine, making all sorts of feelings erupt in me. I move and make the kiss deeper, welcoming. His body is hard against mine, like he’s desperate for my taste. He hardens beneath his jeans and that makes me want him. I have never felt that. We kiss for what feels like an eternity before we break. His hands cover my cheeks and he looks deep into me.
        “Hi, beautiful,” he smiles.
        “Morning.” I whisper. “What time is it?” He climbs off me and grabs his cell from his jeans. He is sat up right, straddling me. Wearing a tight black T-shirt with light jeans that have those sexy slits in the knees. My God, this man is attractive. He shifts and his hair sweeps across his eyes before he pushes it back. He moves over me and rests his forehead against mine until our lips are just barely touching. The lightening force overpowers us and this sudden urge is undeniable. I need to be with this man. His green eyes pierce mine and a thrill of pleasure ushers over my body.
        “It’s 6am.” He whispers against my lips. He lays a gentle kiss on my closed mouth and moves away from me.
No, come back. I suddenly realize I am half-naked laid out on my bed before a man who I barely know. Shit, he’s going to see them. No, no, no. Panic radiates my body and I stumble to my feet.
     “Please don't look at me, Luke, please.” I can feel the tears build from within as I scramble to find some clothes.
     “Why, Ella, you are beautiful.” I turn to face him and drop my clothes. “No I’m not.” I stutter my words and the tears make me heave.
     “Ella, why are you crying? Please, baby, don’t cry. What have I said? Are you okay?” He walks over to me
