"What!!?" I asked in shock. I never saw that coming. I mean it's not like I never even once thought that there was a chance Luke liked me back but I never expected him to ask me out at that very moment. And after everything and considering the situation we were in.

"I am not asking you to go on a date with me now or tomorrow. And I am not asking you to be my girlfriend starting of now," he explained and paused to look at me direct in the eyes, "But after all this is over, after tomorrow, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked me.

I still stood there dumbfounded with my one hand holding the fridge open, not even having enough strength to close it. If it were a week ago I would have jumped to answer him yes before he even properly finished the first sentence but then I didn't know what to say, what to answer. I just stood there.

"Is that a no?" he asked and I could sense that he was becoming nervous.

"No...no, of course not!" I quickly denied after coming to my sense. "It's just that it was too sudden, and with all this I am not sure this is the right moment for that. I mean we don't even know if we will be alive after tomorrow. Shouldn't we worry about that first?"

"So it's not a no?" he asked in a conclusive tone.

"Huh..?" Is that all he got from that?

"It's okay. It's alright as long as it's not a no," he told me with the biggest smile I have ever seen on his face. He then walked to me and placed his both hands on my shoulder and assisted me on the bar stool he was sitting on.

"Sit here, I'll prepare dinner today. But then I'll owe you dinner you promised today," he told me as he wore the apron ready to make dinner.

I sat there watching him as he arranged all the ingredient on the island before starting to chop one by one and places them in different plates ready to be used. I looked at him amazed by how fast he was. He looked like a chef, he was fast and clean. Is there anything he can't do? I wondered.

He finished making dinner after thirty minutes, he then placed the food on two different plates and brought them on the small round table that was on the kitchen. He made pasta with shrimps, it was also mixed with vegetables. It looked very yummy, I felt my mouth watering as I looked at it. He then brought a bottle of red wine with two wine glasses and then pour it on them. He then placed two forks, each beside each plate.

"Mademoiselle, bon appetite," he told me in a perfect french accent with a slight bow. I smiled at that.

"Merci monsieur," I replied, trying to mimic the accent but I failed. He took a seat opposite me and we both started eating our food. The food was too yummy. Everything was perfect, the food, the wine, the atmosphere, my eating partner, everything.

"How can you be so perfect?" I blurted out before realising what I said. I coughed to cover it hoping that he didn't notice it, I quickly added "I mean the food, it's so delicious. You should really consider being a chef at this level. How are you able to make everything you cook this perfect? Even the sandwich earlier."

"Well, maybe it's because I have been cooking a lot ever since I was at home. I enjoyed cooking, I don't know since when or why. Maybe it was because I wanted to escape the boredom and loneliness in our home. I used to beg our chef Steve to let me watch him cook ever since I was young and after I grew up a little he started letting me help him with small stuffs, that's how it started," he explained to me and I could see him light up as he reminisce those memories.

"Steve is a really good guy, he is like a father to me. Although my Dad was against me cooking he used to secretly let me help him cook. Maybe he knew that cooking was like an escape for me. My father is also a good guy, but he sometimes takes things too serious. He always says a master should never be friend with his servant for there to be a royality, but of course he was wrong," he told me

"This is nice," I told him.

"What?" he asked me.

"The dinner, sitting here with you. You talking about your family. Everything. It's perfect," I sincerely told him with a smile. He smiled at me too.

"Then tell me about you too. Your old family," he asked me.

"I was young, I don't remember a lot of things. But I remember one thing for sure. We were happy, so happy. My mother was straight to business person, but she was very caring. My dad was a nonchalant person, He was funny and so cool. He was the one who usually light up the mood. The house would feel so empty if he wasn't around, he had that in him. He fills up a person," I told him smilingly, this was the first time that I openely talked about my old family. I felt happy and sad too at the same time. Talking about it made me feel that we were real but at the same time it made me miss them more and made me more sad for losing them. But I was glad I talked about them. I could feel my eyes watering. I should stop.

"I am full, we should probably go to sleep now. It's really late and I still have spells to figure out," I told him as I stood to put my plate in the dishwasher. I stood there as I kept myself busy with nothing. I felt like crying but I didn't want to, it's a sign of weakness .

I heard footsteps behind me. Luke came behind me and turned me to look at him. He inspected my face for a second and then embraced me. He hugged me tight and I couldn't hold the tears anymore, I cried. I cried really hard.

"I missed them," I told him as I sob on his shoulder

"I know. And It's ok to miss them," he replied hugging me tighter and I instantly started feeling better.

* * * * *

I didn't sleep that night, a part from being anxious about the next day and spending the whole night trying to figure out the right spell which would help us, it was also because of what Luke asked me. I wanted to be with him. I spent the whole night thinking about it. I was in cloud nine when I thought about it and my bubble would burst the moment I started to think of what was ahead of us. Will we make it out alive? That thought scared me.

I threw the blanket off my body and got up so that I could go get coffee. I needed something for my fatigue. I headed straight to the kitchen and I was surprised to find Luke there. He was standing near the coffee machine, he was also there for coffee.

"You're up already!!" I exclaimed.

"Morning to you too sunshine," he told me with a smile. He looked like he was in a very good mood "how was your night?"

"I didn't sleep a wink," I told him with a sigh.

"Well, me too. I suppose you are here for coffee. Just sit there and relax mam, your coffee will be ready in no time," He told me.

"I don't understand how you can be in a very good mood when you haven't slept a wink. I look like a zombie!" I told him astonished by how active he was and how he still looked hot. Who the hell look this hot early in the morning! He just chuckled and proceeded to make coffee.

We heard the door bell ringing after few seconds. We looked at each other, it was still early so we didn't expect anyone yet. We still had two hour untill our agreed meeting time, we were meeting at 8am.

"I'll go check," I told him as I stood up.

I reached the door but decided to look at the doorcam first. I groaned after seeing who was standing outside. I took my time as I unlocked the door and pulled it open. I looked at her with a tired look. She pushed me aside and welcomed herself in.

"You're unbelievable!!" I exlaimed. Of course she had to show up early just because I was there. And trust me, from all this time I have known her she has never once reached school on time, let alone be early.

"Where is Luke?" she turned to ask me. haa! she ignored my existence all this time and now what! As I was opening my mouth to give her a piece of my mind, her eyes widened as she realized something.

"Those are Luke's clothes!! You're wearing his clothes, aren't you?" she exclaimed. I rolled my eyes at her and passed her as I head back to the kitchen. It was pointless to talk to her. Plus I was too tired.

"Take those off! Who are you to be wearing his clothes," She demanded as she followed me to the kitchen. If only I wasn't already tired!

"Can't you hear me, I s-" she stopped midway when she spotted Luke on the kitchen "Oh Luke...you're here too!" she said with the sweetest voice and the biggest smile as if she wasn't shouting just seconds ago. To make it worse she tucked her hairs behind her ear as she looked at him with what I think seductively? I suddenly felt the urge to puke. As I looked at her I noticed she was wearing a very tight shiny black leather pants, a very tight hot-pink top with a black tight leather jacket on top of it. She was also wearing black over knee high heel boots, she had a very dark make-up on too. What is this? Is she going for a satan look or what?

"Of course I have to be here, it's my house," Luke answered refering to what Britney said.

"Are you going to be able to turn freely in that outfit? I mean considering today's events,"I asked her, pretending to be concerned.

"Thanks for your concern but a girl has to look like a girl for her to be called a girl. I mean-" she dramatic paused to look at me over two times, I scowled at her.

"You still have a long way to go," she finished before walking to the bar stool near Luke and sat. I was wearing Luke's clothes which he gave me at night so that I can have something to change into after a shower and my hairs were in a messy bun. I texted Betty earlier to bring me clothes to change into.

"I think she looks cute," Luke told her as he passed me the mug with my coffee in it. I blushed hearing that and muttered a small thank you for the coffee and the compliment too. He smiled at me lovingly and- someone coughed. I gritted my teeth angrily.

"So, Luke....want me to make breakfast for you?" Britney asked him.

"Why would you make breakfast for him?", I asked her annoyed. Wow, I was starting to act like Luke's girlfriend already! That wasn't my business.

"Because I want to," she answered with a scowl. I rolled my eyes at her.

"No, Thank you. There's some frozen pizza in the fridge. We can have that for breakfast," Luke answered her.

"Then should I reheat them?" she asked excited. I swear if it wasn't for that day's event I would have said yes to Luke even if it was only for putting Britney in her place. You just wait!

"Kayla, will you have breakfast now?" Luke asked me

"No, I'll just have it later" I answered him.

"Then I'll have my breakfast later too, you go on," He told Britney.

Britney pouted, but after seeing that Luke wasn't sparing him even a glance she just said, "I'll have mine later too."

Two hour seemed so long with Britney there constantly annoying me. I later moved to the balcony and tried some small spells. After a while I heard the door bell ringing. I ran to open it but luke was already there, he opened the door to reveal Kyle and Betty. They hugged each other for greetings and I did the same.

"So, you ready?" Betty asked as she released me from the hug.

"Yeah. Hope everything walks out the way we want," I told her.

"They will. I believe in you," she told me with a smile and then glanced pass my shoulder "Britney, you're here already!" She exclaimed. I looked back to see Britney behind me.

"Well...I had to be here early," she answered shamelessly.

"Did you bring the clothes I asked you?" I asked Betty. She nodded before looking back at Kyle and Luke who was having a bro conversation. "We will be back in ten, Kayla need to change," she told them and they all nodded. She then intertwined my arm with her's and led me to the guest room I slept in.

"How did you know I used this room? There's many other rooms," I asked, astonished.

"Werewolf, remember. Strong sense of smell," she answered as she closed the door behind us.

"Oh!" I muttered.

"Now now, getting back to the most important thing. We need to dress you up," she told me as she put the bag she was carrying with her on the bed.

"What do you mean dress up? Why do I have to dress up?" I questioned.

"Tsk tsk with that mind how do you expect to keep your man!" she exclaimed and my jaw dropped.

She continued, "I mean, look at Britney. Didn't you see what she was wearing!! She is basically asking for a war, she is challenging you."

"It's a good thing I came prepared, I have my makeup kit with me. All I need to do is-"

"But-"

"No but, I won't take any of that today. Now that you and Luke are already in wearing each others clothes step it's already serious-"

"Stop it! Luke and I did nothing. I know what you're thinking," I told her with a sigh.

"So you just stayed the whole night alone doing nothing?" she exclaimed.

"Of course. I mean apart from him asking me out and having dinner," I told her

"He asked you out?" Betty exclaimed again.

We heard a door knock, we all glanced to the door. The door knob turned and it was pushed open. Luke stood there amused, wait-

"You know that we can hear you, don't you? I mean at least Betty should know that much," Luke told us and I felt like I was going to die with embarassment. How is that even possible!? Oh right, vampires and werewolves!

"Thank you for letting us know," Betty told him with a smile and a poker face. Luke closed the door and left, still amused.

"Before you say anything, I didn't do that on purpose.I totally forgot!" she told me as she curses at how stupid she was. "Just...just wear your clothes already, they are in the bag," she face palmed herself.

We came out few minutes later, I had a little nude make up on and I straightened my hair out as usual. I also had a full dark outfit which Betty brought me. She was also wearing dark outfits, she said it fitted with the day's event.

I wore a maroon leather jacket with a black top inside and a black jeans with mid calf combat black boots. Betty wore a black leather jacket, a maroon top inside, black jeans and black boots. She had a nude makeup on with maroon lipstick.

We walked in the living room and everyone was ready waiting for us. Luke and Kyle were all wearing full black; black jeans, black v-neck t-shirts, black leather jackets and black boots.

"Ready for the big event?" Kyle asked and we all nodded.

"Let's get going then," Luke told us.

Oh God let us come back out alive! I silently prayed.
