Kate's POV

The repetitive sound of my ongoing alarm is what brought me out of my sleep. I slept through most of the night, like usual, but without Luke being next to me, it was safe to say my bed felt pretty empty.

It was still a bit dark outside, but I could tell the sun was rising. Slowly, but surely.

I laid in bed for a couple more minutes before actually getting up to get ready for school. I went to the bathroom first. I used the toilet and brushed my teeth. I turned on the shower and waited patiently for the water to heat up.

Once it felt comfortable, I took off my pajamas and got in. The water felt nice against my back, and I tried not to get my hair wet, as I didn't feel like waiting for it to dry. It helped that I washed it yesterday. The braid I had in before was still present, and it would ruin my hair plans if it got wet.

I bathed quickly and got out as soon as I rinsed of completely. I grabbed a towel from the rack and securely wrapped it around myself. I turned the lights off and walked back to my room, where I would pick out an outfit for the day.

I put on some strawberry-scented lotion and my undergarments. Then, I walked over to my closet

As I looked through my closet, I couldn't help but think about Luke and I. It seemed as if all of this was happening so fast, but it was playing in slow motion. I was surprised it took me this long to realize my feelings for him, and I was glad that we were official. I had so many emotions with only a few ways to express them.

I found a pair of light-wash jeans, and I paired them with a plain white t-shirt and some white converse. I quickly got dressed before I took my braid out, revealing the flattering waves it left behind in my hair. I finger combed it, separating a few strands, and I checked my appearance in the mirror.

I liked the way I looked today, which was shocking because I always thought I looked cringeworthy.

I turned off the lights in my room, and I made my way downstairs so I could find some breakfast. I settled with a bowl of cereal, and I took about fifteen minutes to eat. When I was done, I sat in the family area to watch television while I waited for my ride.

I was pretty sure Luke was picking me up, but I texted Calum not to come just so there was no confusion. I had my license, but I didn't have a car. I don't think my dad was willing to give me that type of freedom, even though I could just call one of my friends, or my boyfriend, if I wanted to go somewhere.

Plus, my parents were almost always away, so their cars were usually at the airport. Even when they weren't, according to my dad, I wasn't allowed to drive them.

My mom was more lenient in that sense, but she still had to have the 'okay' from my dad. I didn't want to be the reason why they argued. That was the worst feeling in the world.

My dad said it was a possibility that I could have a car when I turned eighteen, but he isn't sure. A car would be the best birthday gift ever, if you asked me.

After a few more minutes of mindlessly watching random shows, my doorbell went off. I walked up to my room to get my phone and the folder that had all of the work I did while I was away in it, and I went back downstairs to answer the door. Behind it stood Luke.

"Good morning, babe. How'd you sleep last night?" he asked pulling me into a hug. My hands found their way around his waist, as I hugged him tight.

"It was fine, I guess. A little lonely, but fine," I responded honestly. He pulled away and kissed me on the cheek before taking my hand in his and walking us to his car.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you would miss me so much," he joked. Once we were settled in the car, he started it up again, and we drove off.

"I didn't miss you that much. I was just used to having you in my bed," I said. He looked over at me and bit his lip before bursting out into laughter. I was utterly confused. "What?" I asked, but he just laughed harder. After about half of the drive with Luke laughing uncontrollably, I finally realized how what I said sounded.

"I can't-" he started, but was cut off by his own laughter. "I can't believe you just said that." He finally calmed himself down enough the form a complete sentence, only to start laughing at me again right after.

"Okay, I get it. That was possibly the dirtiest thing I've ever said. No need to make fun of me for it." He drove into the student parking lot of the school and found a spot relatively close to the entrance.

I could spot Calum and Ashton's cars a few space down, and I saw Calum just sitting in his car, a glum expression covering his face.

I stared for good minute before I snapped out of it and got out of the car.

I walked into the building and headed straight for my locker. I got out my books and folders for my first two classes, and I shut my locker door.

Luke appeared next to me and pulled the books he was going to need towards the front of his locker. He let them sit there, and he turned to face me.

His hands rested themselves on my hips, and Luke walked closer. He slowly pressed his lips to mine, and even though I felt the indescribable fluttering in my stomach, I didn't kiss back.

I was still kind of annoyed with him for laughing at me in the car, but I knew it wouldn't last very long.

"Kate, kiss me back," he mumbled against my lips. I shook my head, making him huff in frustration. "Please?"

Again, I shook my head, but Luke wasn't giving up. He put his hands under my shirt and moved them up slowly.

"Luke, stop," I said. We were in public, and I didn't want to cause people to stare.

"Kiss me back," he repeated. He started tickling my sides, and as much as I didn't want to laugh, I couldn't help it.

"Luke, no," I stood my ground, not willing to give in yet. Luke was being just as stubborn as me though.

He removed his lips from mine and placed them on my jaw, sucking the skin lightly before moving on to my neck. His nose was tickling me, and I could feel him smirking.

His hands ran back down my sides, to my hip, and rested in my back pockets. I let out a small, barely audible, whimper as Luke continued to work his lips all across my neck.

Before it could get anymore inappropriate for the setting we were in, I grabbed his cheeks in my free hand and I pulled his face up so that his eyes were level with mine. I kissed him quickly, and he immediately responded to it, but I pulled away before anything could happen.

"Happy?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. The bell rung, so Luke grabbed his books out of his locker and shut the door. We started walking in the direction of my first class side by side.

"You teased me," he whined.

"You teased me first, so I guess we're even," I retaliated. Sometimes, I questioned the balance of Luke's hormones because they could switch like clockwork.

As we walked down the hallway, I noticed a tent in Luke's pants, and I was pretty sure he wasn't aware of it.

"Um, Luke?" He looked at me and waited until I spoke. "I think you have a visitor." I said slowly, directing my eyes to his bulge.

When he finally came to realization, his eyes widened, and he quickly covered it with his books. I laughed at him.

"Fuck," he breathed. "Do you see what you do to me? How am I supposed to get rid of this? I literally have five minutes left to get to my class."

"I don't know. It's your fault for teasing me in the first place."

We were silent for a couple steps, Luke trying to come up with a way to get rid of his boner, and me not having anything useful to say.

"God, uh, come to my car? We can skip our first class, and maybe-" I cut him off before he could finish. My jaw was nearly on the floor from what I knew he was about to say.

"Oh my gosh, no!" I exclaimed covering my eyes with the hand that wasn't holding my things.

"It'll be quick. I promise," he tried convincing me. I was not about to have sex with him in the backseat of his car.

"Luke, I'm not doing that." By this point, we were almost to my class. Luke was super jittery all the way there, probably because his books were rubbing up against him.

Once we got to my class, he kissed me goodbye on the forehead and left to go to his class. I guess he would figure out what to do and still manage to be on time to his class.

Luke and I met up again in our English class, which we took with Michael. I gave her all of my work, and I took my seat at the table they were sitting at.

"Hi, Michael," I said cheerfully. He waved, a bright smile on his face. He was consumed with something on his phone, so he was barely paying attention to anything anyone said, but it was fine with me.

After doing more classwork, Mrs. Oliver, our teacher, gave us a novel we had to read. Luke, Michael, and I group read until we were dismissed from lunch.

We all piled out of the classroom and went in the direction of the cafeteria. Michael walked next to Luke and I, and he was going on about some movie he was really excited to see once it came out.

"I would ask you guys to come, but I don't want to third wheel. Plus, I'd rather not hear you making out the whole time." Luke just laughed, but I agreed. I didn't want to put Michael through that.

Once we got to the lunch room, we went to the table where we normally sat. There we found Calum, Ashton, and Caitlyn. They each had a sandwich and a bag of chips with some water, and they also had some set out for us.

When we got to the table, we all took a seat. I sat next to Luke, and Michael sat on the end of the table.

"Hey, guys," Calum greeted. "My mom made us all lunches, so enjoy." He took a bite out of his sandwich and drank some water to wash it down.

"Thanks. Joy is the best," Michael said, stuffing his face with the plain chips he'd opened. He sprinkled the residue back into the bag, and I could see everyone at the table visibly cringe. It was so gross.

We all finished our lunch in silence before breaking out into a conversation about our plan after school.

"We should all go to Panda Express and have an epic hangout session. Who's in?" Michael pitched.

"I'm not doing anything useful with my time later, so I'll come," Ashton said.

"Same, I'll be there," Calum added.

"We'll go" Luke chimed in.

"I can't. I have to help my dad unpack. Sorry, guys," Caitlyn interjected.

The bell rang for us to go back to class, so we al to up and headed towards the exit.

"Okay, everyone who is going, let's meet at the front, and we can follow each other there," Ashton instructed. We all nodded before splitting up and going to our respective classes.

Once the the school day was over, we all met back up at the front of the building, just like Ashton told us to.

"Who knows where the nearest Panda Express is to here?" Calum asked. Michael raised his hand.

"I know. I can direct whoever I ride with," he explained.

"Come with me," Ashton said. Michael nodded, and followed Ashton to his car. "Follow us! We'll see you guys there."

Calum went to his car, and Luke and I did the same. As soon as we were buckled up, we waited to see Ashton's car leave.

When Ashton's car drove away, Calum followed behind him, and we were behind Calum. It took a solid twenty minuted to get to Panda Express, but I didn't mind. I kind of enjoyed long car rides.

Once we were there, Luke found a parking space, which was next to Ashton's car, and we got out. Luke's hand insanely found mine, as we walked into the restaurant.

We found a booth big enough for all of us to sit in, and everyone except Luke and I went to the line to get our food. We were supposed to be making sure no one took our table, and we could get our food once the others came back.

Luke didn't really plan on watching the table though. Instead, his lips found their way behind my ear, where he left short kisses.

I was trying to talk to him, but he wasn't paying me any attention.

"Luke, I want to talk," I said. He just continued kissing me.

"Talk then." His lips trailed from behind my ear to my jaw, peppering kisses all along it.

"I want to go see that movie with Michael, when it comes out. Can I go?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure," he said breathlessly. I saw the other guys on their way back from the line, so I stopped Luke immediately.

"They're coming," I warned, but he didn't budge. He was on to my neck at this point, and I was sure he left a few marks.

"I don't care."

"Okay, unless you want a repeat of this morning, I advise you to stop." He quit as soon as the words left my mouth, and that made me laugh.

The guys sat down when they got to the table, and Luke and I went to the line. Just like all day, his hand interlocked with mine as we stood waiting.

He leaned over and whispered something in my ear just as it was our turn to order.

"Just so you know, there's more than one way to get rid of a boner." An expression of shock came over my face, and he winked.

"Since when did you become so sex-crazed?" I asked chuckling softly.

"I don't know, I want you all the time. I need you, but I had to contain myself in the past, when we weren't together. Now that we're official, I'm not afraid to let it show," he explained.

We both ordered our food quickly before making our way back to our booth. Michael was halfway done with his food, but Ashton and Calum taking their time it seemed.

"So, Luke and Katherine, how's the lovely couple doing today?" Michael questioned.

"Luke is sexually frustrated today. I don't know what's wrong with him," I answered honestly. Michael nearly choked on his noodles, and Luke laughed. He was always so happy lately. It was nice to see.

"I can't help it," he whined. "I'm in love." He dragged that last word out. Ashton looked up at him and shook his head.

I really didn't know what was wrong with Ashton. He seemed so grumpy in recent days. It was confusing because when he picked me up from the airport, he was like his normal self.

"Oh my gosh, Kate. You're making him go all mushy!" Michael yelled. He got a few stares from so people in the restaurant, so he quieted down a little.

"I'm not going mushy, Michael. I can just express my feelings now." Ashton scoffed, and all of our eyes focused on him. He played it off with a small cough, and he kept eating his rice.

"Well, I'm glad you're happy," Michael said sincerely. "Also, I'm glad you still decided to make her your girlfriend, even after she almost fucked Calum," he added.

My heart dropped. I completely forgot about that. Maybe that was why Ashton was looking at me sourly and Calum was acting awkward and weird. It was all piecing together, and I was stupid not to remember about it earlier.

I looked at Calum, and saw that he dropped his fork. He didn't dare look up, his eyes focused on the bowl of rice in front of him.

"What?" Luke asked. His voice was surprisingly calm, but his tone was ice cold.

"Shit, you didn't know about that. I though Kate or Cal told y-"

"No, I didn't know."
