"So, what are the plans for tonight?" The three boys look over at me with confusion embedded into their expressions.

"What's tonight?" I raise my eyebrow slightly, leaning my arms against the table as I look at Reggie.

"Aren't we going to celebrate? You know, it's not every day you guys get signed to a record label."

"Well, it did hap-"

"Reg, not the point." Luke cuts him off, obviously wanting to avoid their previous encounter with Ivory Records.

I bite down on the inside of my cheeks as a silence falls over the table and the memories run through my mind.

I'm not going to pretend it doesn't hurt to think about, but I'm here now, with the three boys who mean everything to me and I guess that's all I could ever really ask for.

"So, celebration?" Luke cut into the silence, snapping my out of my head and drawing my attention over to him.

I can see the guilty expression resting on his features making me shake my head slightly before smiling softly in reassurance.

That was all behind us now, it wouldn't be fair to hold that against him.

"This was the celebration Roomie.. pizza and drinks." Reggie points out, gesturing to the now-empty pizza boxes in front of us.

"Come on, there must be something else, especially knowing you three and what you normally get up to."

"She's got a point." Luke says, leaning back in his chair as he slings his arm over the back of mine.

"Obviously you're gonna agree with her." I can't help but giggle at Luke's confused expression at Reggie's words.

"What's that supposed to mean?" The two boys fall into some playful argument that I choose to zone out of and instead turn my focus to Alex.

"Al, you have any ideas?"

"I mean, Willie messaged me earlier about wanting to go to some party at one of the college Frat houses tonight. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if we all tagged along."

"Yeah?" I smile as Alex nods excitedly, messaging Willie before turning towards the boys who were still deep in their conversation.

"Are you guys done yet?" Alex's sarcasm takes over and I laugh in response as Reggie and Luke look over at him. "What do you feel about going to a party tonight?"

"I'm nearly done, I promise." I say pulling on my leather jacket from Reg as I turn around to face Luke who has been sitting on my bed complaining for the last ten minutes straight.

"You said that ten minutes ago."

"And you've been complaining ever since." I playfully roll my eyes, walking closer to him, but not close enough for him to reach me.

I watch as he stands up, licking his lips while he watches me from his place, not making a single move to walk any closer.

I tilt my head slightly, biting down on my bottom lip as I momentarily let my eyes run over his body.

In those two seconds, Luke's flannel was wrapped around my waist from over my head and had him tugging on either sleeve to pull me directly against his body.

"Hi." I laugh softly, tilting my head up slightly to connect my eyes with his, his flannel dropping to the floor from where it was around my back and his hands taking its place.

"Hi Baby." I can feel my cheeks flush from a mixture of his hands running gently across my lower back as well as the nickname that never fails to give me goosebumps. "You look really hot right now."

"Not now Luke." I say, trying to stay strong, pushing my nails into the palms of my hands as they drape around his neck. I couldn't deny that every word that left his lips had some effect on me. "But thank you."

I wink playfully at him, leaning in to connect our lips briefly before pulling back and walking to grab my body spray.

I laugh at the groan that left his mouth, him clearly unsatisfied with the brevity of the kiss.

"Come here handsome." I roll my eyes teasingly, watching as he walks over with no hesitation after I gestured him over.

As soon as he was close enough, I took his face in my hands gently, connecting our lips once again.

I feel Luke pull me directly against his body, allowing me to feel him close to me as well as every movement his lips made against mine.

I let my hands trail up to his hair, running them through before tugging on the ends gently, satisfied with the sound that left his mouth.

I run my tongue over his bottom lip, sucking on it as my hands trail down his chest slowly, loving the feeling of his toned muscles underneath my fingertips.

As my hands come to a stop at the bottom of his chest, I push against him, creating some distance between us as I watch his eyes flutter open slowly.

"Are you okay love?" I ask innocently with a dopey smile across my face, watching as he runs his tongue over his bottom lip.

"Mmh, more than okay." Giggling softly I peck his cheek before walking back over to my grab my phone. "I'm ready now."

"Finally." Luke chuckles deeply, still seemingly dazed from a few moments ago which I found absolutely adorable.

"I think everything that just happened cancelled out having to wait for me yeah?" I say, walking back over to him before running my thumb over his bottom lip.

"If you keep doing that, don't count on us leaving this room tonight." I could see the familiar darkness and desire cloud his eyes, making me quickly withdraw my hand away from his face.

I could feel my cheeks blush over from his words and by the smirk on his face, I knew he picked it up as well.

"We're leaving, the boys are waiting to celebrate you three."

"I can think of some other ways the two of us can celebrate." I slap his chest at his suggestiveness, rolling my eyes before stepping back, ready to run out my room and down the stairs.

"Yep, definitely time to go."
