*Luke's P.O.V*

"Oh, there you are!" Mum greets Laurel and I once we get back to Sydney. "How was Quirindi? Did you like it?"

"Absolutely, Liz!" Laurel replies. "We went to those amazing sunflower fields and I took so many pictures!"

"We are looking forward to seeing them, for sure" Dad chuckles. "What about yourself, Luke? Did you have fun?"

"Yeah" I shrug, taking my bag back to my room. I can hear Laurel's laughter, as she tells my parents all the places we've been to in Quirindi, and the thought returns to my mind.

Yesterday she got a text from someone called Jim and since then she never lets go of her phone. I know I'm probably paranoid, but it's like she doesn't want me to know about whatever it is they talk. Of course I don't even know if that's Jim but probably is, before his call she'd never use her phone that much.

"I can't even believe we're flying back to the US tomorrow," Laurel shows up by the doorframe. "it feels like we arrived yesterday."

"I wish we could stay more" I say, tugging my things inside the suitcase "But don't worry, we can always come back"

"I know..." Laurel gets inside my room and wraps her arms around my waist, her cheek against my back, after dropping her phone on my bed. "I think the worst part of it all is that now I'm gonna be back to Charlotte and you to LA; our time together is over"

"We do have FaceTime"

"But it's not the same"

"I know"

"I'm gonna miss you. I love you, Luke"

I turn to face her, hold her hands and look directly in her eyes.

"Laurel, who is Jim?"

Her eyes goggle and she hesitates before clearing her throat and chuckling.

"It's a friend of mine, baby. How do you know about him?"

"Why did he text you to call him?" I raise my eyebrows, annoyed.

"Maybe because he wanted to talk? C'mon, now. You're not jealous, are you?"

I look to the floor, feeling the blood boiling in my veins.

"Luke, is there anything else I could do to make you understand that I'm completely, deeply and madly in love with you?" She inquires, pulling up my chin so I look at her. She smiles and kisses me.

I sigh, gently rubbing her hands.

"I'm sorry, I'm a fucking idiot... Hey, do you think we could...?" I smirk. Laurel grins and bites her bottom lip.

"At your parents'? Really?" She raises her eyebrows.

"This used to be my house, too" I playfully fold my arms, before grabbing her by the waist and pulling her for a kiss as she giggles.

"Uh, hey lovebirds" Dad shows up, scaring Laurel, who literally jumps away from me and stares at her feet, her arms joined behind her back. Dad glances amusingly at me and I do the same. "Liz and I are going out. I'm dropping her at a student's and I've got some issues to deal with back at work. I'm afraid we're not coming back before night."

"That's okay, Laurel and I are packing for tomorrow" I tell him.

"And we might go out as well to take one last ride around Sydney before I'm forced to leave this amazing place" She adds, smiling at my father. He nods and turns to me.

"I'm taking the car"

"No problem"

He walks away and we hear my mum's voice from downstairs yelling goodbye. We yell back at her and wait for the door to close and the house to get completely silent. I walk quickly to Laurel and get her in my arms, taking her to my bed. I drop her there and hover over her, kissing her neck. I take her shirt off while she grins, pulling me down for another kiss. Suddenly she pushes me hard and sits up, unbuttoning my jeans. I take my piercing with my teeth, smirking as I look at her.

She pulls down my pants and my boxers and starts rubbing me. I tilt my head back, closing my eyes and letting a low groan escape my mouth.

And Laurel's phone rings.

First the guy was the goddamn cockblock, now there's another motherfucker.

Laurel jumps and instantly gets her phone, looking up at me like she doesn't want me to see who's calling, stands and picks up.

"Hello?"

I roll my eyes, hugging her from behind and kissing her neck, eventually leaving love bites.

"Yeah, sure. Of course." She keeps talking as if I'm not even here. She looks over her shoulder and raises her hand, indicating me to stop. I groan and abruptly let go of her, pulling up my pants and angrily scratching my nape.

Laurel gets out of my room and heads to her own, closing the door. I sit on my bed, taking my phone to text the guys.

I need to talk

Michael instantly replies.

what's up??

I look at my door, feeling completely annoyed. I type furiously.

there's someone Laurel keeps talking to on the phone. she literally left me hanging to talk to them and we were in the middle of something 

lol this is messed up, maybe it's someone from college?

i doubt it is, she's never stopped anything because of calls from her colleagues

Laurel returns innocently and hesitantly back at my room, her arms around herself.

"I'm assuming you're extremely pissed at me right now" She closes one eye, frowning.

"Good that you guess things right" I snap.

She sits next to me and puts her arm on my shoulders, kissing my cheek.

"Sorry, baby... but I really needed to get that."

"Oh, let me guess, your friend?" I stand up, fake laughing. "He seems very important to you."

"Don't start, Luke. I already solved everything, now I'm here, my phone is in my room. Let me make it up to you"

"I'm really not in the mood anymore" I roll my eyes.

"Well then let's go out! It's our last day here, we shouldn't waste it on a stupid argument, don't you think?"

"I don't think it's stupid, I've got a reason."

"And I'm telling you this reason is irrational! Don't worry about it, okay?" She cups my face with her hands and forces me to look in her hazel eyes.

I just can't keep mad at these eyes.

I sigh, nodding.

"Cold Rock, remember?" She insists. "You wanted to go that day but we couldn't because it was, like, 2 in the morning"

"Good idea" I smile. "Let's go"
