We walk up Luke's porch and I turn to him,"I'm nervous." "Don't be. They like everyone,"he replies. I sigh as we walk into his house.
"Family! I'm here with my friend Holly!,"Luke yells. An older boy and a lady come down the stairs. "Hi! I'm Ben, Luke's older brother," the older boy says as he hugs me. I guess he's the hugging type.
"Hi dear. I'm Liz, Luke's mom. If you need anything I'm here," she says as she hugs me. Or it's a hugging family. "Jack! Come downstairs and meet Luke's friend," Liz yells. Another older boy comes down the staircase. "Hi I'm Jack Luke's other older brother," he says as he hugs me to. How come Luke didn't hug me when he met me?
Luke grabs my wrist and pulls me up the stairs to what I'm guessing is his room. He closes the door and says,"Sorry about all the hugging. It's something I didn't get in my genetics, thank goodness." I laugh as we go sit on his bed.
"Wanna play fifa? I have the new version," he asks. I'm kinda good kinda awful at fifa, but I say yes and he goes and grabs us controllers.
Throughout the game we're yelling at each other. Things like, 'You suck' 'I'm gonna win' and 'My person won't hold the stupid ball.' This is actually a lot of fun.
When we finish we go down stairs to watch a movie. We sit next to each other and watch it but I'm not even paying attention. I'm paying attention to our legs touching and how Luke has hand touching my thigh. Then the movie finishes and we're just sitting there talking.
We're laughing at one of Luke's cheesy jokes until we both start leaning in. Soon our lips are touching and I feel a thousand butterflies swarming in my stomach.
We started making out and what felt like five minutes ended up being an hour. When we stopped we looked at each other and I felt my cheeks heat up he then pecked my lips and stood up. He reached his hand out and I grabbed it and stood up.
Liz said dinner was done so we went to the kitchen and sat at the table with his family. Luke whispered in my ear,"My dad is working so this shouldn't be a very questioning dinner." Praise the lord.
We laugh and talk until everyone is done and Liz tells Ben and Jack to do the dishes and they whine. Me and Luke laugh and then go up to his room. I can't get my mind wrapped around the fact that me made out for an hour on his sofa. We sit on his bed in an awkward silence neither of us knowing what to say.
"So, uh, yeah.." Luke says. "Umhmm,"I say. Could this be any more awkward? "Do you want to talk about earlier?," I ask. "I guess so," Luke slowly says.
"Did you feel anything?," he asks. I nodded my head and his expression lightens up. "Did you feel anything?," I ask nervous for his answer. "I did indeed. It felt, amazing," he replies. I'm so happy that he sorta has feelings for me.
"I have a confession," he says. Oh. "I-I've had a crush on you since seventh grade." What the hell? He has had a crush on me for that long? Wow. "I also have a confession," I slowly say. Here goes nothing. "I've had a crush on you since 8th grade, but I lie to myself saying it's only been a little over a year, so I seem less lonely." Did I really just admit that?
"So what now?," he asks with hope in his eyes. "I think we should take it slow and see what happens," I say. "Can I hug you or is that going to fast?,"he asks. I laugh as I hug him.
"Can you spend the night,"he asks. "Why not," I reply.

We hung out and talked for a long time but we decided to get ready for bed. He said since he has such a big bed(which is the same size as mine he's just making himself look cool) that we could share the bed. I know he's not going to let me do anything else so I agree.
We're now in bed and I soon start to fall asleep but as I am I feel Luke put an arm around me and kiss my forehead. "Goodnight my little penguin" he says as I drift off into sleep.
