How Much We Changed

33.

"Wake up" Kris whined, vigorously trying to shake Luka awake.

It was 7am the next day. Kris had gotten up pretty early thanks to Dana who had woken her up with dozens of texts telling her she had big news. She had taken a shower and was now back in her gown and a black hoodie she found after literally raiding Luka's closet.

She had been trying to wake Luka up for about ten minutes and she was pretty sure he was already awake and just trying to ignore her.

She huffed and climbed out of the bed, grabbing a pillow. "Oh for fuck's sake" she groaned. "Open your fucking eyes!" She yelled at him right before flinging the pillow at him.

She thought for sure that he would open his eyes after that but he just pulled his blanket over his head.

"Luka I know you're awake" she folded her arms.

"Well I wish I wasn't " he replied, his voice slightly muffled by the blanket.

She rolled her eyes. "Get up" she dragged.

"Fine" he replied after a few beats of silence.

He pushed the blanket aside and lazily climbed out of the bed. His hair was a hot mess and he looked like he had just slept two hours ago. He was still in the same pair of sweatpants from the day before and it was hanging low on his waist.

Like really low.

Like so low, Kris was finding it hard not to look.

He ruffled his already messy hair and sighed before beginning to shuffle his way towards Kris. "Come on" he muttered and immediately scooped her off the floor.

"Seriously?" Kris groaned.

He tossed her back in the bed like she was some rag doll and before she could climb back out, he dropped in the bed by her side to stop her. He turned her around so she was facing him and pulled her to himself by her waist. Then he wrapped his legs around her so she couldn't escape.

She squirmed for a few seconds, trying to free herself but soon gave up when nothing was working.

Her face was buried in his bare chest so his jaw was resting on her head.

"That's it" Luka said softly. "Just relax and go back to sleep" he added.

"No I have to..." Kris tried to explain.

"Sshhhhh"

"No seriously, I...."

"Sshhhhh"

She huffed and just kept quiet, realizing how helpless she was in the situation. Luka on the other hand was having the time of his life.

"Kris, I have a question" he spoke up after a few beats of silence. He sniffed her hair and she tried to respond but he continued. "Wait, no I have two questions" he quickly added.

"What?" She asked drily.

"Ok, first question, do I smell my shampoo in your hair?" He asked, pulling his eyebrows together.

"Yeah" she replied, not willing to explain why.

He probably didn't know she had already taken a shower.

"Ok, follow up question to first question" he began. "does that mean you used my toothbrush too?" He asked and Kris could sense the amusement in his voice.

"No, I found the extras in your bathroom cabinet" she replied flatly.

"Oh" he mumbled with a hint of disappointment in his tone. "Second question" he continued, slightly loosening his grip on her. He took in a deep breath and released it before asking. "Kris how are you up so early after last night?"
